PLENTY OF WORK
HERE AFTER WAR

The War Department says that
in what will become OF the troops
after the war. II is admitted that
through European spectacles a seri-
Gus problem would be presented, but
that the conditions in the United
States do not suggest any grave
doubts as to the welfare and future
Of the man who fought in-France or
those still here who are in canton
ments and under draft orders.
The War Department points out
that there will be plenty OF work for
every man who was called to the
colors. This arises from the fact that
under all circumstances the people
would take care of the returning
heroes. but their ability to do, that
IL increased by the fact that there
has been no immigration into the
United States for the last four years
and that even IL there were a sudden
influx into the American ports of
two million men, there would be no
DISCRIMINATION nor dislocation Of the
even trend of affairs.
II is pointed out that 1000 600 men
are to return. but they are not to be
assembled in any one place. They are
to leave the ports for the places
where they are to be mustered out as
soon as possible and from there they
WIN almost Immediately be sent to
their homes. The problem will there
fore be the temperance OF 1000, 900
or. more men at scattered places
throughout a vast territory.
Thus, ii is pointed out, there will be
no congestion, no clamoring for Ia
Dor. and no detriment to the country
at large. In addition to this, there
will be no trouble about the wound
ed. There have already been estab-
lished throughout the country recon
struction hospitals. At these places
badly wounded soldiers are now being
taught useful arts In which they can
always make a good living.
One OF the marvels of the age has
been the care of these soldiers
abroad who have been disfigured by
gunshot wounds about the face. 1t
was stated some days ago by Score
tAry OF War Baker that wonderful
things had been done and were being
done to restore the appearance OF the
wounded.

Motion Pictures Taken.
On their arrival at the French line,
they were met by a general Of divis-
ion and other officers. The Germans
aIighted and saluted stinly, but not
haughtily.
They were escorted into a court
yard, where moving pictures were ia
ken. Doctor ErZberger and the 9TH
ers then were led to French automo-
biles and they started for General
Debeny's headquarters.
The road as far as Guise was one
which the armistice delegates will
probably remember for the rest of
their lives. French shells and Ger
man mines had damaged 1t to such an
extent that II required two hours to
traverse. French troops lighted
flares along the road TO make travel
ing possible. The pickering lights
revealed bedraggled figures here and
there, while the cold rain washed the
faces Of the German dead in the
bitches and the fields beside the roads
Even more frequent were the
carcasseS which cast grotesque
shadows. The ENJOYS had not OPP
portunity to avoid these gruesome
sights as they were not blindfolded.

At Guise the German ENJOYS got

 Should the war continue for long pe- riod. and it become necessary to send GOO, 900 or 100000 men across the seas, Senator simmons said, the expense ot the government of course would be m creased and there would have to be some increase in taxes.
 During his explanation of the provis- ions of the bill, Senator simmons also told the Senate that Secretary McAdoo feit that it was unnecessary to increase the future interest rate on bonds. Re- plying to a question by Senator Lewls or illinois, he said there is nothing in the bill to prevent the allies from spending money loaned them outside of the United states, if that is shown to be necessary.
 To avoid trouble, the Senate struck out the clause which caused the House to recall and readopt the bill prohibiting banks from using bonds to evade state taxation.

The measure already has been passed by the House and slight differences now will be adjusted in conference.
 It is possible that the House will ac- cept minor amendments and make con ference unnecessary. As approved by the Senate without a roll call and after less than an hours perfunctory debate, all important provisions of the House meas ure were retained All congressional leaders agree that the bill must be low before the Liberty Loan campaign be- gins, and it is hoped to send the meas ure to the President tomorrow.
