whole field of community opportunities
for work Through its intercommunity
aud interstate clearance system and
uniform records, the United States
Employment Service can make SURPRISES
of Jobs in one place available for men
applying where work is lacking.
The whole national system OF local
councils Of defense has undertaken to
assist and supplement the work OF l,5OO
community labor boards set up as war
measure by the Tnitcd States Employ
ment Service in etfccting such community
cooperation. Promises of the assistance
of such great national organizations as
the Red Cross, the y Nj. G.. A.. National
Catholic War Board, and the jewish
Welfare Board has been secured. Labor
unions are cooperating. Churches, both
English and foreign speaking, are eager
TO help. The organization everywhere OF
such cooperating bureaus to help the
soldiers find a Job Is not only assured;
il is already being rapidly effected. Their
efficiency will be question of local or
ganzing capacity; a full measure o'
success in most places can hopefully bc
counted on.
such bureaus doubtless, toe, will
help care tor returning cnllian war
workers, where the iaCiltlcS Ot the nltcd

sufficient to meet the need. The great

preservation of civilization and
humanity itself; and the more eff
clent and prompt we people of

OF our soldiers and sailors who will
be saved from death and SUFFERING
and the greater number of the
people of other nations released

and to the world and it is especially
