WELCOME HA|G
ON HOME COMING
BIZ Associated Press.

BIZ Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 19:-London hung
out it's flags and the old seaport OF
Dover flung its base wide open today
to greet Field Marshal Haig and the
commanders of the flve British
armies which fought In Belgium and
France, Generals Plumer, Rawlinson,
Birdwood.. Byng and Horne.
II was merely an Informal welcome
on the part of London, but Dover
made of it a great celebration. The
news that the Field Marshal was
coming home to spend Christmas
with his family at Kingston became
public and his fellow countrymen
would not be denied chance to see
and cheer the leader of their armies.
The real celebration in London
comes later-later in January or
early in February. The field marshal
will then according to time honored
precedent be raised to a high rank in
the peerage. how high is point OF
speculation, and given a money grant
by parliament for his services to the
nation. This Is the procedure which
has been followed from the days OF
Wellington and Nelson down to Kit
chener and Roberts, and the occasion
will be celebrated with civic and mill
itary formalities such as no other
nation, except possibly France. can
carry out as impressively as Great
Britain.
The welcome given the homecom-
ing generals today was similar to that
given Marshal Foch and Premier
Clemenceau at France and Premier
Orlando of Italy little over week
ago, but there was less display. Pre-
mier Lloyd George. the Duke of Con-
naught, members of the cabinet, gen
erals and lesser functionaries from
the war office made up the receiving
party at Charing Cross station. After
first greetings. the civilians of the
officials disappeared from the scene
and the small procession proceeded
through the principal streets to
Buckingham Palace, where King
George entertained Field Marshal
Haig at luncheon.
Aeroplanes lowering overhead es-
corted Field Marshal Haig's ship
across the channel and followed his
train to London.
All business places at Dover were
closed and holiday was declared.

To HELP LABOR
KEEP JOBS HERE

At meeting last night the labor
and employment committee of the
Board of Trade completed plans for
starting a movement among the fac
tories to help place men in positions
as the change from war to peace work
is gradually made, were outlined.
This movement will be big help to
the laboring men as they will not be
likely to want for Job and they will
know that their interests are being
looked after. II labor is busy and
kept at a high point. all the city will
be prosperous. Several of the factor
les have already promised to cooper
ate in the new system and canvass
of the others is being made. The slo-
gan is: Let's All Boost and Keep the
Wheels Going"
The plan includes the picking up of
labor which is laid off at one plant by
another. AS men are laid off, the plant
where they worked will inform the
bureau of that fact and plant that
desires men can then know where to
secure them.

Y.M. H. A. DRIVE
To END TONIGHT
200 Memberships Reported up
to Last Might Expect Final
Spurt Today

With but today in which to work
the solicitors In the Y. NJ. II. A. cam
paign have reported that the total
number of memberships now secured
amount to about 200.
The campaign managers are conf
dent that today the workers will Sc
cure pledges to make the grand total
reach the 400 mark. which was set as
the quota at the outset OF the drive.
The Ladies' Auxiliary OF tho Y. NJ.
II. A. served supper to the teams and
workers in the Y. NJ. II. A. building
last night and following the meal the
division chairmen and captains sub
mitted the reports of the new and re-
newed memberships secured through
out the day and by these reports II
was indicated that about fifty pledges
had been solicited.
The belief was expressed by the gen.
eral chairman, Ben Goldberger. that
the desired quota would be realized at
the last meeting tonight, because he
thought that many of the captains
were holding back their results so as
to spring a big surprise on the closing
night.
Several plans and suggestions for
soliciting members were discussed last
night and the workers left the build
ing more determined than ever to
reach the allotted quota and each one
expressed his intention OF doing his
share and being responsible for a
member by tonight.
The final checking up and reports
will be made tonight after the supper
which will be served by the Ladies'
Auxiliary promptly at $50. and every
body connected with the campaign is
urgently requested to be present, so
that an accurate account of the WORK
accomplished may be made and the
total number OF memberships obtained
during the drive may be ascertained.
