TRAINING WOUNDED,
DISABLED SOLDIERS.
NOW BEING STUDIED.

Washington, June 29-Every man
who goes in the army or navy is now
certain that If the Germans shoot
him up" he will not be compelled to

INJURED in soldiers home to rush out
the years until death comes to his re-
lief
The United States government has
studied the whole subject of vocational
rehabilitation of wounded and dis
aoied soldiers. The experience of all
the belligerents has sbeen gone over
carefully and the marvels of re-voca-
tonal education accomplished by some
or them are fully noted and the federal
board for vocational education has
been at work on the proposition since
August, 1917, The result is the Smith
Sears act, which passed congress June
IL, and provides a comprehensive
scheme of rehabilitation for wounded
and disabled men
Canada has been doing this work
with great success and all of the Can
adam experience has been freely given
TO the United States. The director of
that work has been actively cooperat-
(1ns~with the federal board for voca-
ionalSedntation and was sent by his
government TO appear before the SEN
ate committee and testify at the hear
lngs OF the bill, which passed both
senate and house without a dissenting
vote.
II has been demonstrated in Canade
and Europe that no matter how bad
Iy man may be wrecked physically,
as a generality he still has latent cap
abilities for something useful If those
capabilities may be specialized into
some line of trade the wounded SOL
der already knew, that is done The
experience he has had and his knowI-
edge of the trade is a valuable foun-
dation to build upon.
If the trade he is familiar with does
not offer an opening then he is in
duced to enter an allied trade where
his previous knowledge will be Of
value. In some cases the man is en-
tirely re-educated and for an occupa-
ton entirely different from that which
he had previously followed.
1t is seldom that a man is so badly
shattered that he cannot be trained to
something useful, which he can pur-
sue in the consciousness that he is do
ing a mans work for mans pay and
that he is back in the current of civil
life, useful and happy citizen who
asks no odds of anyone when it comes
to making a living.
The task TO be discharged by the
federal board of vocational education
is large one. Figures from the var
ious countries show that for each mil
fon men in the armies, there will be
one per cent, or ten thousand men, to
be re-educated. This does not include
the wounded who are able to and
eventually do return to their occupa-
tons
This does not necessarily mean that

these are Acknowledgement" cases. The
general idea is of the 1egless, armless
or sightless man. They are far in the
minority. The figures, which have now
got down to fairly accurate averages,
show that of the 10000 half of them
will be purely medical" as against
surgical cases. And of the 5000 that
are surgical" that is, which need the
attention of a surgeon as against a
physician, 500 will be cases of dismem-
berment, which the men have lost
members of the body. Three hundred
will be cases where a leg has been
lost and two hundred where arms have
been lost. In Al 900 returned invalided
Canadians there were less than forty
cases of blindness.
The real problem is the man who
has suffered profound shocks to his
system and perhaps been rendered in
capable OF standing the strain of his
former occupation. A boiler maker,
for instance, comes out with shell
shock and his nervous system in tat
tiers. He could not stand the racket
in boiler factory, but he. with his
knowledge of iron and steel working
could very easily be made into say an
expert lathe operator where there is
no noise. And so on along the whole
line Of adjustments.
The federal board for vocational ed
ucation is the source of most Of the
war training courses and is going
ahead with plans to begin the re-edu-
cational work at an early date. 1t is
proposed instead of concentrating the
men to be re-educated in large hospi-
tai shops to use the wonderful facili-
ties afforded by the many technical
and agricultural schools Of the coun-
try as far as possible.

GREAT WAR ENDS

London, June 30.-Although the end

the proper time arrives, are well under
way. The military authorities, acting
in conjunction with the ministry of
labor, are perfecting the scheme by
which the soldiers will be returned to
civil life with the utmost celebrity, and
at camp not far from London there
has already been a rehearsal of the
methods TO be adopted for dispensing
the men.
Big as was the job to get men into
the army" said an officer engaged in
the work, 1T will be a bigger job to
get them out of it. But the country
may be sure that everything will be
done to enable the soldiers TO reach
their homes and get employment with
the minimum friction
The scheme is far-reaching The au-
thorities have had to consider not only
the situation at home but also how
the plan Will fit in with the conven-
fence of France, Italy and the overseas
dominions, and with transport faciIi-
ties from Saloniki, Mes5potanrfa--Pa f-
world. How long it will take to de-
mobilize the millions of troops is a
question to which even those occupied
in the task are not prepared to give a
definite reply.
Eighteen dispersal depots are to be
established in England, Scotland and
Wales. Every step has been worked
out in detail. Before the men in
France are ordered home. they will be

Each man will take with him his en-
tire kit, including his arms and per-
sonal equipment steel helmet and box
respirator. Previously he will have
been deprived of his ammunition.
On reaching the dispersal stations
the men will hand over their equip
ment. Everything must be given up
except the uniform which the soldier
is wearing, and his great coat, al
though the coat must be returned after
the months furlough to which each
man will be entitled. He will be per-

The soldier will pass through sew

In one he will be given a protection

will be given an advance on the pay

the remainder.
On application, the soldier will be
presented with an "out-of- work in

will entitle him to receive a fixed

SALES OF THRIFT STAMPS
 IN ARKANSAS INCREASING

Little Rock, April 2.-Moorhead Wright, chairman for the War Say ings organization in the state, reports that the work is progressing most satisfactorily in Arkansas. Up to March there had been sold in the state about $1,100,000 worth of the stamps and certificates, of the $35,- O00,000 assigned to Arkansas for the year 1918. Since that time, however, the sales have greatly increased, but totals are not available yet.

 FDCH'S ALLIED ARMY
uro. Department Advised That wal Americans Are Actually in Th;et of BattIe-EXact Num- her is Not Known.

Washington, April l.-General Per .t;rc has organized the first corps # the expeditionary forces according to advices received by the war de-
 ortment The first corps is now r.+iro in concert with the French aaoinst the left flank of the German offensive.
 An American army corps consists of from two to six divisions. For military reasons it is improper to give tho exact strength of the first corps. As division consists of approxi- mateIy 2S,O00 men it is no secret that General Pershing has assigned more than two divisions to the corps. The corns is under the command of a widely known general, who formerly commanded one of the divisions of which the corps is made up. It is understood that the American forces are being sent into action in two col umns. Although under the direction Of General Foch. orders to the col mns will be sent through General Pershing, who is in close touch with the new general headquarters estab- lshed by the French generalissimo, General Bliss is aiding in the forma- ton of the allies defensive and offen- sive programs.
 The divisions making up the first umy corps are known here, but the var department as yet has not iden- flied them. There is reason to believe that one of the units of the corps is the famous Rainbow Division, made up of national guardsmen from al- most every state in the union. This division was among the first to arrive in France and has finished its train ing course back of the lines. Although some experts have held that the na- tonal guard units would not present the fighting strength possessed by the national army divisions, it is stated on good authority that the men of the Rainbow Division acquitted them selves so well in the training camps Of France that they were included in the first corps.
 The exact part which the American forces will play in the French offen- slVe is not known. Army officers here believe the corps will either take over part of the trench lines held by 'ne French in order to relieve the lat ter for service on the fighting front,

THE EYE OF THE NATION
 ON NEVADA COUNTY
Nevada County Quota for Third Lib-
 erty Lean Bonds is $110,15O.

All is now set for the great third Liberty Loan drive for S3,00O, ,00O 900 with its over subscriptions.
 Every county in every state in the Union, and every town and city in every county, is listed at headquar- ters of the Liberty Loan organization at St. Louis, and at the Treasury De- partment at Washington.
 Each town, city and county has had the quota of bonds it must take al- lotted to it, and each will be expected and must take the bonds assigned.
 The financiers everywhere expected the issue to be much larger than the S3,000,0 100000 required. Plans were perfected for sale largely in excess of this. Now with the organizations that have been effected the quota should be subscribed in very brief campaign.
 Many counties and towns have ad- vised headquarters that their quotas are already pledged, and with little work the over-subscriptions will reach sums that will show the world that the patriotism of the people has been aroused to a high pitch; will show our allies across the water that the United States may be depended on to do its rart, and will demonstrate to the kaiser and all Germany that every man in this nation and every dollar of Americas wealth will be enlisted in the war that is to sweep Prussian- ism from the face of the earth.
 For the third Liberty Loan Nevada county's quota has been fixed at $110, 15O. The county in the second Liber- ty Loan had $71 ,000 for it's minimum; the target was $l1S,50O; the actual subscription totaled $S0600, and was taken by 301 subscribers.

GRANITE WALLS ENCASE MIGHTY
 GERMAN ARMIES
Prussian Eagle Unable to Make More Than Fluttering Move in Picardy-Hindenburg Hurl Masses Into Blood Bath.

London, April 1.-The end of the day on which Hindenburg had boast ed his army would be in Paris sees the great German wedge in Picardy encased on both sides by walls of granite and it's spearhead badly bat tered on one side while desperately "craning" forward on the other, talk ing fearful punishment.
 The Prussian eagle wings are as if tied fast, unable even to make the slightest f1uttering moves. They are in great danger of being momentarily clipped. Meanwhile the "beak" is desperately hacking away-toward Amiens. The twelfth day of the bat tie brought the Germans only insig- niicant gains in this 'haeking move ment" but netted them a bloody har- vest of losses.
 With the fatalistic persistency of a losing gambler, Hindenburg is hurl- ing mass after mass into the center, on the front between Montdidier and Marcel Cave which has the ominously significant length of some thirteen miles. He pursues, despite the in describable blood bath in which thous- ands of his best fighting men have suffocated during the ten days of the win or lose tussle, the same aims which he has set out, but failed to gain, in the first violent sweep: Sep aration of the French and British ar mics.
 Paralyzed on both sides, forced to dig in where he had intended to roll up the allied wings, he still hopes to penetrate further and further in the center. reach Amiens, cut the Paris Calias rail and automatically release his Hanks from the grip in which they are now held. In the marshy angle between the Avre river and the Lucebrook, he is throwing new divisions into combat as last des- perate chance.
 All day long the carnage ragged on this front and it continued through out the night. Despite their small gains, made during the last 24 hours, the Germans are farther away from Amiens than they were three days ago after the capture of Mezieres, .t- IL. ( IL center faces the big strategic rail head in semi-circular shape, the. nearest point still being ten miles to the southeast of Amiens. Time, the greatest ally in this crucial bat tie, has enabled the British to take every possible measure of precaution to re-group their forces and bring up fresh troops and more guns.

or that they will be moved to the Picardy battle field to support the French counter offensive blows. The majority of the army officers incline to the belief that the Americans will be used as reserves, but will be rush. ed against the Germans in the event the French counter drives force the invaders to fall back on any consider able front.

ALL J. s. TROOPS ID BE IN FRANCE AUG. 1ST
Less Than Fifteen Per Cent Will Be Retained For Training Pur p0ses-President Will Speak in Baltimore.

Washington, April 1.-President Wilson today tentatively accepted an invitation to make a war speech at Baltimore next Saturday on the oc- casion of the opening of the third Liberty Loan drive.
 Secretary of War Newton D. Baker will return to Washington from France immediately after making a hurried trip to Italy to bring first hand information concerning necessi, ties imperative to the defeat of Ger many.
 General Tasker H. Bliss, represen- tative of the United States in inter- allied war council, and General John J. Pershing, commanding the expedi- tlonary forces, both cabled that the situation on the western front was steadily improving.
 Executive orders were issued which will place in France, or en route by August 1, all troops now in the can tonments of this country. Less than 15 per cent will be retained for train ing purposes. To facilitate the over seas movement, Resident Wilson pressed for an immediate statement from the French and British authori- ties as to what percentage of supplies can be eliminated to make available additional shipping.
 This summarizes the war news as centered at the White House. The spirit with which orders were given and executed indicated steadily in- creasing encouragement. The calling list was again cut to the lowest pos sible minimum consistent with the transaction of official business. All important happenings on the battle front get the immediate attention of the president. The plans for greater participation are accelerated by pass ing through his hands.
 Secretary Bakers message indicat- ed he thought it wise to return at once in order to give the war depart ment and supply bureaus the benefit of the information he has gathered. The president is understood to have replied with an urgent request that the contemplated trip to Italy be not abandoned.
 Italy is regarded by the president as one of the great sufferers of the war. It is said to he his desire that no incident occur which the Italian people could consider a lack of cour- tesy. From Italy Mir Baker is ex- pected to go back to Paris for a final conference with General Bliss and members of the war council
 It is not permissible to give the approximate date the secretary of war is expected back in Washington.
