TEN to be introduced here. We
hope the inventive genius of the
Yankee will enable US to out-do
our European friends.
The legislation referred to is
known as the Smith Sears Act, ;
having been fathered by Senator
Hoke Smith of Georgia and Con-
gresham Joe" Sears of Florida
The act delegates to the Feder-
al Board for Vocational Educat-
ion the duty of re- educating the
disabled men in some usefu. en-
ployment which they shall be
deemed capable of following with
profit. While the me n are taking
the special courses compensation
will be allowances will be paid
their families precisely. as if the
men were still in active service.
At the conclusion of the course
agencies will be ready to assist
in placing the re-educated men
in civil life.
The Federal Board is now en-
gagged in the task Of making the
necessary arrangements for the
work which means so much to
these men who have suffered inn
pairment of their earning capaci-
ties.
A GENEROUS PROVISION
In order that the disabled SOL
der may have every incentive
for assisting in the work of re-
education. the act provides that
the result of such work shall not
be permitted to interfer in any
way with the payment of the
pension which the soldie. would
:,e entitled to receive on account
of his disability.
For example; A soldier who
has lost both eyes is entitled t.
q certain pention. Under the
new system such a soldier might
be taught a number of gainful
occupations and it is conceivable
that eventually he might have
considerable earning power.
r.lat fact would not operate to
reduce the amount of his pension
There is sound reason for this
peculiar provision. The work of
rehabilitation cannot be success
full unless the injured men coop
crates cheerfuliy and earnest
ly. The first thing needed in or
der to Get that kind of cooper
alton is to demonstrate that the
government is not actuated by
selfish motives that it is not at
tempting to re-educate the men
in order to cut down the pension
bill. =
In next weeks letter / will en-
deavor to relate some of the mar
velOus results secured in the al
led countries by teachers Of the
new system.

Washington Letter

By Edward Keating
Congressman from the third Colorado
istriet.
Severl years prior to the be-
ginning Of the great European
War. the authorities of the Bel
xian province of Hainaut decided
that men crippled in industrial
accidents should not be support-
ed in idleness if they could be so
trained as to restore their pro-
ductive eapasity.
That was the beginning of one
OF the most interesting move
ments the world has ever seen.
of course. those hard-headed
Belgians did not know that their
country was soon to be transform
ed into . hugh cemetary and that
hundreds Of thousands of men
were tJ be blinded and crippled
in the greatest Of all wars. They
we're thinking only of the wound
ed veterans of industry, but they
founded an institution which has
become Of tremendous import
Ance in . military sense.
The 6rst school for MANNED
men was located at Charleroi in
Belgium and it was successful
from the STAR. The world was
beginning to hear interesting
tales of this factory where human
beinxs were repaired when the
declaration of war came and the
Germans swept down in Belgium
Charleroi was in the path of
the invaders and its schools was
destroyed and the teachers and
their pupils killed or driven away

He could show them how to re-

We are making another appeal for
our surgical dressings classes. Miss
Oliver instructs a class on Tuesday
afternoons at 2:30 and Miss Hill on
Thursday evenings at 8 o'clock. Is it
not possible for you to join one OF
these classes? We are behind in our
quota and must have more workers
that we may speed up"
Following a method which is adopt
ed by most Red Cross chapters, the
ladies in charge of this work have de-
cided that 1t is best to limit the time
in which articles taken to the homes
to be made, must be returned to the
rooms, so in the future it will be nee
essary to return the finished article
before three months time or less IL
possible.
The committee in charge also wishes
to that no more knitting
needles can be furnished free of cost
and If you have any in your home be-
longing to the Red Cross kindly step
into the rooms at some convenient
time and pay for them.

BRITISH SUBMARINE FLEET
DOES HEROIC WORK
First Statement OF What This Branch
of Service Is Doing, Has Been Civ
en- Out.

The world knows the story of Brit
aims fleets-the simple tale of the
gaunt gray lighting hulks that swing
ceaselessly in circles from the Artic
down to Ostend. barring effectively the
egress from German ports of naval
merchant shipping. Only the U-boats
and an occasional raider have been
successful in slipping through the steel
Gordon.
Although much has been told about
the high seas fleets, but little has been
written-and less officially disclosed
about England's efficient submarine
navy. However, there has been re-
ceived by the committee on public
information an official British state
ment. made public with the approba-
ton of the admiralty. telling in de-
tailed form OF the exploits of Britons
in combating Germany with her fav-
orite weapon.
Leaving the home harbors on Eng
lands east coast. or perhaps dropping
down some Scottish firth. the subma-
rines slip into the gray waters of the
North sea and pick their way through
German mine fields so that they may
battle with the enemy even within the
confines OF his own harbors.
One of the most popular tales of the
exploits OF British submarines. which
however. is not contained in the pre-
pared statement. deals with a young
! commander who audaciously creep
Through mine-infested waters into tn,

EHRLICH TO LEAVE MILL.
Tenders Resignation to Take Effect
July 1, to Look After Private In
t~erests.

H. c. Ehrlich has rendered his res
ignation as manager of the American
Falls Milling company, to take effect
July l. Mr.. Enrich intends to de-
vote his time to his farms near Bur-
ley and American Falls, which will
demand all of his time. Mr.. Ehrlich
has been with the milling company as
manager for seven years or more, and
has e the plant and business grow
from a 1%00-barrel capacity, busy part
of the time to a %500-barrel capacity
busy all the time. The products OF the
mill. under Mr.. Ehrlich's management
have gained recognition far and wide
for their excellence, and for the past
several years the mill has probably
never been up with its orders. AT the
present time the manufacturers oil
macaroni are ~interceding with the fed
eral food administrator to permit h
shipment of flour from the mill here
to Salt Lake, they having been unable
to secure any that is dependable n
uniform in quality, for their purpose.
Mr.. Ehrlich will probably make MS
home in Burley, but will operate his
farm on the Sunbeam divide and keep
a watchful eye on it Mr.. Enrich Will
be missed from business circles, but
will take to his new home h hlgn
regard and best wishes OF all Win
whom he has been associated. Mrs.
Ehrlich has been active in food con
~servation and other war work, and
will be missed in this work as well as
in social circles.
