State Employment Directors
in Conference al Denver

Denver, Dec. S.-State directors
of the Limited States employment
service, summoned from seventeen
western states, conferred here today
with F. A. ,Silcox, federal director
of the organization, in, an effort to
perfect plans for providing employ
ment for soldiers, sailors and other
war workers upon their discharge
from federal service. -
Mr.. Silcox declared that after ex-
aiming men in numerous canton
ments throughout the country he es-
tlmated that fully 80 per cent of
them will return to positions held
by them prior to their entrance into
military service. He also stated that
much of the work Of the organize
ton will be lightened by the action
of cantonment commanders, who
will endeavor to establish former re-
latlons between their men and
former employers, with view to
assuring each man his former posi-
ton before he is discharged

one year, and that meant that all but
nine men in a platoon should pay five
frarfcs each on the first installment,
and five francs each on the following
pay day. Making payment each
fine of $50 francs, or the 500 in all.
Each platoon selects leader, who
acts as a go-between, for the babies

the payment of the second and final

lures of the child in various poses.
1T will be possible for one platoon
to take up six babies a year, for it
would mean>about 81 from each man

around about twice in two months.

irish, TO HOLD
MASS MEETING
FOR FREEDOM
Home Rule Supporters Hear
From Champ Clark and.
From Secretary
Tumu|ty.

Irish home rule supporters met
Sunday afternoon with the Irish
Self Determination club in the A.
O. U. w. temple, Twenty-fifth and
NJ streets, South side.
The object of the meeting was ex-
pressed in the opening address of
Ed. F. Morearty, who acted as presi-
dent in the absence of John Rush,
as placing before President Wilson
and the people of Omaha the Justice
OF the claims Of Ireland to the man
agement OF its own affairs, with a
view of having its own case, in COM
mon with Others, placed before the
peace conference for adjustment.
Mr.. Morearty, in explaining the
meaning of sell = determination, "
said: I'VE Americans of Irish birth
and descent demand in the coming
peace conference that the principles
of self-determination of peoples be
asserted to the fullest demand, with
the right of all subjected peoples to
determine their own existence.
Champ Clark Writes.
A letter from Champ Clark
which was response to a Telegram
sent by the club asking him to cham
pion their cause in the house. w S
read. A great round of applause
followed the reading of the lines
Il have always been in favor of
more liberal treatment of Ireland.
l hope Ireland's agony is over
Joseph Tumulty, secretary of the
president, wrote the club that their
request that the president take up
the cause of Ireland at the peace
conference would be brought to the
presidents attention. This was writ
ten in response to a letter which
the club addressed to Wilson ask
ing him that he take up the question
OF freedom for Ireland along with
that of the Poles and other small
nations.
Louis D. Cavanaugh, chairman
of the executive committee, an
nounced that fine meeting Sunday was
preliminary one to arouse enthu-
siasm among the Irish themselves
in preparation for a great mass
meeting in the open air at a later
date. The committee will meet
Tuesday to outline the details.
DR.. ]. w. McCrann, Jerry How
ard, ex-Judge Caldwell, Jerry Fitz-
gerald, Michael O'Conner, and Will
liam Maher made short talks at the
invitation of the chair in which they
endorsed the object of the meeting
as stated by Mr.. Morearty and de-
clared themselves in favor of the

Decisive Contest Coming
in Soldiers Council

Berlin. Dec. 8.-What promises
20 be decisive battle for the elimi-
nation of partisan politics in the
soldiers and ~workmen's councils
throughout Germany has already
been precipitated by the announced
determination of the soldiers to III
sist upon party representation on
all governing boards.
The leaders of the soldiers de-
clare that if the present virtual die
tatorship system of government is
to be continued they will demand an
equal vote with the workingmen.
Otherwise they insist upon the i'm
mediate convocation of the national
assembly. -
Public demonstrations on the part
of the troops returning from the
front are commonly interpreted here
as in approval of the Ebert Scheide-
mann group. Philip Schiedemann
is delivering the bulk of the patriotic
speeches and clarifying the revo1u-
ton, while the Haase wing of the
cabinet and its independent follow
ing apparently is in possession of a
decisive strategic advantage.

Harris, S"for q 800 hitter to salute

POOLING OF U. S.
WIRE FACILITIES
URGED BY VAIL
Gable Reorganization Needed
to Make Country World
Center of Business, Says
A. T. and T. Head.

Washington. Dec. S.-Pooling Of
the telegraph and telephone facili-
ties of the country on one hand and
the marine cable lines on the other,
each with a comprehensive operat-
ing organization under a single ex-
ecutive head, is recommended to
Postmaster General Burleson by
Theodore N. Vail, president of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company.
In his letter, made public today,
Mr.. Vail said the pooling arrange
ment would be brought about with
out ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the proper
ties and in such a manner that they
could be turned back to private own
ers at the expiration of the period
of government control.
Consolidation Unnecessary.
what should be done to create
an ideal SYSTEM" said Mr.. Vail,
Cannot be done because of existing
laws, nor would complete consolida-
ton be justified, since to undo such
a consolidation system into its
former units would lead to unwar-
ranted waste.
There are, however, many things
which can be done, which would not
produce waste, and which might, by
improvement of service, help to
further educate the public and cre-
ate an actively favorable attitude to-
wards some correlation or co-ordina-
ton of operation and service with
the control and regulation and re-
striction. through some combination
of governmental authority and pri-
vate ownership or operation, retain
ing all the advantages and incentives
of both" T.
Need Cable System.
Mr.. Vail, who is acting as conf
dental adviser to Postmaster Burle-
son in the control of the wire COM
munication system. taken over by
the government, discussed the land
and marine wire organizations sep
arately. If the United States, he
said, is to become commercial and &,
industrial world center, an Ameri-
can cable system consonant with the
obligations and opportunities of the
country must be organized.
There must be a United States
system which will place this coun-
try directly in communication with
every country with which we have,
or hope to have, important CONNER
cial relations" declared Mr.. Vail.
"As it is now we are on one side
of the world system. We must be
made one of the centers of the world
system if we expect to compete on
even terms with the world or be
properly considered by the countries
we wish to reach"
Mackay Opposes Wallis Plan.
New York, Dec. 8.-The proposal
of Theodore N. Vail, president OF
the American Telephone and Tele-
phone company, for pooling of the
telephone and telegraph facilities and
the marine cable lines of the coun-
try is a S"genuine menace" which
even the German oligarchy
would have hesitated to pro-
pose," Clarence H. Mackay, presi-
dent of the Postal Telegraph and
Commercial Cable company declared
here tonight. 1--WE are opposed to
this radically, fundamentally opposed
to it." Mr.. Mackay said.
