TO SEIZE GERMAN
HOLDINGS TO SOUTH

Germany's extensive commercial
and financial interests in South Amer
lea will be taken over in full by the
entente as a portion OF the war in
demnity. Latin-American diplomats
here predict.
Advices from Buenos Aires, Rio de
Janeiro. MontevIdeo, and other points
Indicate that the dispossession of Ger
man interests is expected by the Ger
mans themselves and also the Latin
Americans.
1t is declared that the heaviest in
terests are directly connected with the
Berlin government and that a reSump-
tion OF pre-war trade conditions
could not be considered. 1t Is de-
clared that in COMMUNITIES where Ger
man interests have been heaviest at
tention is being given by the natives
to the prospective change in policy
that may come with the shifting to
British, French, Italian and United
States control.
Small German traders and German
private interests could be interfered
with in no way. it is pointed out, but
these would no longer be channels of
German intrigue.

Firm in Belief Son
VIII Return Despite
Death Announcement

MARYSvILLE, Cal, Dec. 29.-
That his son is not, dead and will
return to him unhurt is the firm
belief OF J. B. Hall, of this city,
despite the telegram sent him by
the War Department last Sunday
announcing that Earl Hall. the
SON, was killed in action in
France last October.
Halls first resort after receiy-
ing the unwelcome dispatch was
the Bible. Opening the book. the
first words that greeted his vision
were:
And he came from over the
seas to the land of his own coun-
try" from the pen of the Disciple
Mark.
Eonsol came to Hall
through this Biblical message.
He insists the telegram is a mis-
take, that his son will return.

Acts Two Provisions.

In defense of the bureau, 1t Is ex-
planned that the Government makes
no payment of allowances unless two
conditions exist. One is that the bene-
fciaries are dependent upon the SOL
der in whole or in part for support.
The other is that previous to entering
the service the enlisted man habitu-
ally contributed a stated amount
monthly to their support. The allow
ance of the Government added to the
allotment made by the soldier may
not in any case exceed the habitual
monthly contribution made by the
man.
In the "a, 1000 cases where Allowances
were withdrawn the bureau says its
Investigations have shown that either
one or both of the conditions neces-
sary to the payment OF the allowance
has not existed.
A case in point Is that OF a boy who
stated that he contributed $25 a month
to his mother. He allotted SIS and ask
ed that an allowance of SO a month
be made to her. Investigation show
ed his mother Is a widow and Is en-
ployed at a salary OF 400 a year.
The bureau ruled that In this case she
was not q dependent and cancelled the
$40 allowance. There have been many
such cases, II Is stated.

ceed demands, although there is still
a shortage of workers. taking the
country as a whole. Department o.
Labor reports show, In several dis
tricts large surpluses of labor al
ready are reported.
Department officials yesterday
warned that unless remedies are
started at once the situation may be-
come serious during the winter
months. The full effect of the re-
lease of hundreds of thousands o.
soldiers and munition workers has
been felt as yet. THE reports state
and the saturation point of labor has
nearly been reached.
With outdoor work scarce during
the next few months, Nathan A
Smyth, assistant director general
United States Employment Service,
yesterday said IT may become neces-
sary to release only those soldiers
who have peace-time positions walt
ing for them.
aThe army has indicated to the en-
ployment service" Mr.. Smyth said,
that II the present rate OF demobtli-
zation causes dangerous unemploy-
nent. it will seriously consider slow
ing down the speed.
ssIf the army could be demobilized
on the basis OF ability to place the
soldiers at work instead OF by mill
tary units. the Unemployment could
be reduced to a minimum. II is es-
tirnated that only between 60 and 40
per cent OF the men in the army have
Jobs waiting for them. Many SOL
diers will not be needed until spring
