THERE'S NOT A VACANT DWELLING IN NEWPORT,
 NEW ONES ARE NEEDED

According to local agencies there is not a vacant dwelling in Newport. One os our good citizens sold his res idence few weeks ago, believing that he would be able to rent an- other house for his family in the event of the purchaser demanding po- session of his property. This week the. purchaser moved in, and now the former owner is without a home, be- ing forced to board and lodge, and he tells the Independent that unless she can secure a place to reside he Twill be forced to leave the city. While this speaks well for New port as q desirable resident city, this condition of affairs should not be al lowed to continue. Reports from Washington say alT building restric- tions have been removed since the signing of an armistice, in conse- squence of which the building of homes in Newport could be undertaken with out intolerance.

 IF ARMY BEGINS
Troops in United States Will Return Soon, But Those in Europe Will
 Remain Lcnger.
(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. General March, chief of staff of the army, an- nounced today that orders have been issued for gradual demoblization of all troops now in this country. Sev- enty-one development battalions, comprising 80,000 men, will be de- mobilized first.
 There are now 1,790,00O men under arms in the United States, Gen. March said, and when the reduction plan is under full operation 30,000 men will be released from the army daily. Orders already have been is- sued for the demobilization of 200,- coo who will return to their homes within two weeks.
 General March said the order in which the divisions are to be return ed from France will be left to Gen. eral Pershing. It is the intention of the war department, however, to re- turn each division to the locality from which a majority of It's men came and parade the division in ad- iaeent cities so the people will have a chance to give a fitting welcome.
 Orders have been cabled to Gener- al Pershing to return at once all casuals, sick and wounded who can be moved and all convalescents.
 Discussing rehabilitation plans with senators today, war department officials said Secretary Baker planned to stop all movement of additional troops to Europe except surgical un- it's.
 According to a dispatch from Ser lin, Foreign Secretary Solf has sent a message to Secretary Lansing re- ouesting President Wilson to give permission for a German commits sion to leave immediately for the United States to personally lay be fore the American government the conditions existing in Germany and take steps to purchase foodstuffs.

 Somewhere in France,
 Oct. 18th, 1918. Dear Homefolks
 1 I received your letter and the clip pings yesterday and believe me was more than glad to get both for l don't know of anything that makes an American soldier fight harder than letters and newspapers from home.
 You have asked me several times to describe my trip over.
 After leaving Camp Beauregard we passed through many interesting ! places in Louisiana that changed our opinion of the state greatly. We fer ried the Mississippi at Baton Rouge, where we were allowed to leave the 1 train for one hour. The ladies of the llocal Red Cross entertained us and l don't believe I ever tasted anything better than the lunch they served. Soon the time was up and we boarded the train again and proceeded to New Orleans, where we were delayed for several hours but were not permitted to leave the train Our next stop was at Raleigh, N C., where we were again received and entertained by the Red Cross. Speaking of square meals, how about round" bath? That's what We got anyway, and it was the 1 real thing. Said bath accommodations I were recently built by the Red Cross and are large enough for three hund- red and fifty soldiers at one, time. After we were thus made presentable { we were received by the young ladies of Raleigh, who gave us fine lunch. We can never forget their kindness.
 Our next stop of importance was at Richmond, Virginia, and from there we went to Newport News, where we were to embark. There we met Sgt. Hook Sprigg and sev- ieral old Company E. boys who had not yet been sent.
 During our first few days ab9ard Isship the ocean was rather rough. Don't believe I ever saw so many sick Boys. I thought I was going to 1 be victim too, so kept close to my 1 bunk awhile. Sgt. Alexander Ca 1 Batesville boy,) and Sgt. Fisher Ca 1 Hot Springs boy,) had it bad. It was up to me to play mother, so l had to feed them the best I could. It is very hard to satisfy a sea sick man. l had to run the mess line" If they catch you, it means extra duty or some times something worse. It took lit < tie nerve to run it every meal, but I was in luck and finally they got we'll

The waves dashed upon the first deck, turned over and ~played dead" We would see a wave coming and push each other out on deck. It took good man to stand up when they hit him.
 Soon we cut out this fun for the ocean calmed down, then we saw many different kinds of fish and sea animals.
 Finally we sighted land. It was the evening" of the 18th of August. The band began to play and everybody yelled. We anchored in Brest Harb- or for the night and the next morn ing landed on French soil.
 From the port we marched SIX miles to a rest camp where We stay ed two days. They call it a rest camp" but I've got another name for

Industry plays as essential and honorable role in this great struggle as do our military armaments. We all recognize the truth of this. but we must also see its necessary impliea- tions-namely. that industry, doing a vital task for the nation, must receive the support and assistance of the nation" Therefore, solemnly urge all employers engaged ;n war work to refrain after August Ist, 1918, from recruiting unskilled labor in any manner except through this central agency [The U. S. En- ployment Servicel. urge labor to respond as loyalty as heretofore to any calls issued by this agency for voluntary enlistment in essential in dustry.

A Message to American Employers and Workmen
A Message to

C1NCE America entered the War there has O been great shifting of workers, skilled and unskilled, to speed up essential indus tries..
 qBoth employers and workers have suffered through an unnecessary shifting of labor. Employers have sought men before the jobs were ready. Workmen have gone hundreds of miles in search of job and wages which might have been found at their door. This has resulted in confusion and the loss of time and money.
 gThe winning of the war depends upon the Nations ability to bring about maximum broducuon. This means that the right man must be on the right job.
 GTherefore, the Government has created within the Department of Labor national employment system known as the U. S. Employment Service. It's national head quarters are in Washington. It has 500 branch offices in the principal cities of the United States. It has 2O,OOO U. s. Public Service Reserve enrolment agents.
Arizona republican., 1918-08-27

gIt's service affects employer and worker alike. By having sole direction of all re- cruiting it helps employers to secure workers without injuring or crippling other essen tlal industries. It brings the man and the job together.
 gThe U. S. Employment Service protects labor from insincere and thoughtless appeals made to 1t under the plea of patriotism. It places men in jobs where they are most needed to win the war. It urgently rccom- mends any man now employed in useful war work to stick to his job.
 gIt asks the loyal and patriotic support of workmen and employers to assist the gov ernmentto lace properly every man neces- sary to bring about maximum production. It gives fair and square service to both. The use of this service Is a patriotic and intelligent duty to your country.

More Propaganda In Mexico

THE latest evidence of German propaganda in Mexico is
suggestion expressed editorialy in certain Mexican
papers, that Mexico refrain from participation in any dis
cusson looking TO the formation Of league Of nations
declaring that such a league would be merely combine
ton of powers TO enforce their viii smaller nations
The intent of the propaganda is to foster i'll feeling be-
tween Mexico and the United States, inasmuch the
United States is taking leading part in advocacy Of the
league of nations idea That it fostered by Germans is
supposab although they doubtless realize that if there is
to be league Of nations, Germany will get in there is
any possible way do it. So will every other country
anxious to participate in movement for the vel

ignorance There viii be less tendency to hold if the
league formed with the explicit understanding that there
shall be interference with internal affairs This pn-
cpe Of foreign interference in domestic matters

ever since its inception.
Mexico will probably see the light in due time, al
though its failed to epouse the of the

on this basis, although he has had 20
