CANADA HAS PLAN
RECONSTRUCTION TO KEEP MEN
IN FAMILIAR WORK.
If Disabled to Follow Former Voca-
tior, Will Be Educated for EN-
ployment in Other Lines.

Canada's work in the re-establish-
ment of disabled soldiers has long
been recognized as a model, and con-
sequently any feature of it is worthy
of consideration.
One of the fundamental principles
of the Canadian system is that the
disabled man should be induced where
possible to enter his old occupation,
or, if he is incapacitated for that, to
train for work in which his previous
experience will be of value to him.
For example, the physical qualifica-
tions of a miner are essentially the
same as those of the soldier. and if a
man is unfit for further service in the
trenches the chances are that he is
also unable to take up the pick and
shovel again. But coal mine has a
large staff of officials, and it is the
aim of the vocational officers to per-
suade a disabled miner to undertake
a training course that will fit him
to occupy a staff position, for his eX-
perience in the mine makes him an apt
pupil in a course for such positions
as shot firer, fire boss, underground
manager, or manager of collieries,
provided he has the necessary per-
sonal characteristics.
Difficulty has been experienced at
times in inducing men to follow the
advice of the vocational officers. Ger
tain occupations, of which that of
chauffeur is an outstanding example,
seem to offer a strong attraction to
the returned men, quite without regard
to their fitness for the work. In most
cases, however, the vocational officer
is able eventually to induce a man to
return to his old job, or to take up
analogous work, by showing him that
thus he will be able in a much shorter
time to place himself in a self-sup-
porting position.
To return to the example of the dis
abled miner. If he is unable to take
up any of the work already mentioned,
he is given re-education to prepare
him for new but similar employment.
The positions named require gov
ernment certificate, and hence the aim
of the instructors is to fit the man to
secure such certificate. Very badly
disabled men may act as gate ten
ders, watchmen and relighters. There
is room for few in the position of
check weighman, which offers good
pay. Other examiners take courses in
the technical schools maintained by
the soldiers civil re-establishment
commission in preparation to be ma
chinists, pattern makers, pneumatic
tool repairers or electrical machine
repair men. Still others are taught
harness repairing or boot repairing.

Especial correspondence.)

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Nov. s.
Spanish-American societies, Mexican
labor organizations in the United
States and officials of state and CEN
trail bodies along the border are sig
nifying daily by letter their intention
to be present at the Pan-American la
Dor conference opening at Laredo,
Texas, November 13.
The Sociedad Nacional Mexicana de
Beneficiencia, with headquarters in
Phoenix, Ariz., declares that altho
not strictly a trade union organiza-
ton, the interests of all Mexican
workers are so vitally interested in
the results of the conference that it
will send delegation to Laredo. The
Sociedad Nacional Mexicana de Bene-
ficiencia is of that class of organiza-
tions known to Mexicans as "mu-
tualist."
The International Union of Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers, embracing
the trades working in the metallifer-
Gus mines, has resolved to send dele
gates.
The State Federation of Labor of
Arizona, this state being so largely
given over to mining, with major
ity of the miners Mexicans, has re-
solved also to send representatives.
Americans now in the United States
are thoroly awake to the significance
of this international conference being
held, in all probability, at the time
when the peace of the world is about
to be settled in definite terms From
the Atlantic to the Pacific, in New
York City and Los Angeles, meetings
have been held within the last few
weeks by Spanish-speaking unions,
societies and federations, whose sole
object was the consideration and fur
therance of the Laredo conference, at
which international problems affecting
the peoples of Pan-America for all
time will be discussed.
1t is confidently expected that Presi-
dent Wilson will make expression at
the time of the conference of policies
vital to the mutual interests of the
masses of the people of the Western
Hemisphere.
Cayetano Ruiz, organizer of the
Mexican Federation of Labor, is one
of the men in hearty sympathy with
the idea of the Pan-American labor
conference. In a letter written from
Torreon, Coahuila, to members of the
border committee on arrangements
Ruiz declares that "on this conference
depends the future, not only of the
proletariat of both the United States

fered to manifest this associations
friendship for similar organizations in
the aforementioned country"
The work of uniting labor in the
two American continents has the en-
phatic approval of La Verdad, the
powerful labor paper of Lima, Peru.
In a recent article the editors of
La Verdad whole heartedly approve
the work undertaken by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to effect the
Continental unification of the Pan
American workers, and predict that
the labor organizations thruout Latin
America will unite to secure the reali-
zation of the labor program outlined
in the manifesto to the workers of
Latin-America issued by the Pan
American Federation of Labor con-
ference committee"

TO STRESS IDEALS
TEACHERS MUST AMERICANIZE
THE RISING GENERATION.
This Is Most Important Task Con-
fronting Instructors of Children,
Says American Teacher.

"No more serious task devolves
upon the men and women left in
charge of the children in our schools
than that of Americanizing the rising
generation" says the American Teach
er, official magazine of the American
Federation of Teachers.
"This task involves much more than
teaching anthems and flag salutes;
much more than teaching the colo
quial and the lives of national heroes;
much more than loyalty and good citi-
taught to the children in Prussia; and
by all accounts, quite as thoroly as we
can hope to do ourselves.
"The task is much larger and more
difficult. 1t involves nothing less than
training a generation in ideals and
conduct becoming a democratic world.
Nothing less will do. 1t means set
ting a new measure of personal sue
cess, a new standard of national honor,
new vision of human destiny. 1t
| involves the complete eradication of
the cant and hypocrisy of our mercan-
tile moralities; the complete destruc-
ton of master and servant relation
ships, with all of their by-products in
fraud and brutality and exploitation
and degradation.
"The task cannot be evaded. The
spirit of the peoples engaged in the
war is resolved upon democratic
peace, peace that will truly make
the world a decent place for human
beings. The people will no longer
tolerate an arrangement whereby the
shrewd and the unscrupulous may
dominate the rest of US; and the peo-
pie look to America to show the new
way. The people will no longer sub
nit to either the Prussian or the Man.

morning inside the German lines by

Night patrols reported early to.
day that Clery-Le-Grand had been
cleared of the Germans.
Farther west observers during the
day reported that enemy machine
gun emplacements were in process
OF construction at various points
and that infantry is digging in in
the region of the La Dhuy farm,
east of the Bots Des Hazois.
Take Aerial Photographs.
Aerial photographs, taken within
the last few days, indicate that the
Germans are not devoting much
labor to organizing their front line
or forward positions, leading to the
belief that they possibly will fall
back upon as yet unidentified posi-
tons in the rear if they are com
PEELED to do so.
The photographs show that even
the existing trenches have not been
worked over recently except at one
or two places in front of Landres-
St. Georges. The work has been
limited to fox holes and organized
she'll holes.
Take Advantage of Terrain.
The enemy probably intends to
defend his positions chiefly by TAX
ing advantage of the natural fea-
lures of the terrain, just as he has
done at all points on this front
since he was driven past the Nolker
line September 70.
Experts figure that it is the in
tention of the Germans to delay any
advance of the Americans and rem
der such advance as costly as pos
sible by covering the Landres-St.
Georges ridge from positions imme-
diately behind it, basing their de-
tense up on the dominating ground
to the north and west and taking
advantage of the hills and woods on
other parts of the front.

with the record of the republican
leaders like Messrs. Kahn, Weeks,
Mccormick, Lodge, Poindexter and
the rest. But this is not I'll. The
peace that Spain ratified was because
we had an overwhelming republican
majority of the senate. A few up
right and far-sighted democrats
went with the republicans, two or
three pacihst republicans went with
the democrats, but the overwhelm
ing majority of the republicans were
for the peace of victory which fol
lowed unconditional surrender"
The overwhelming majority Of
the democrats were against it, The
event showed that not only was my
appeal necessary, but that if it had
not been effective the result would
have been ruinious to this country.
Il recapitulate, at this time, the
republicans have been pro-war, pro-
Liberty loan, pro-unconditional sur
render, and Mr.. Wilson opposes
them and asks for a democratic
majority which shall include all the
democrats who are anti-war, anti
Liberty loan and anti-unconditional
surrender-for of course the anti
draft democrats were if not anti-war
at least anti-efficiency in war.
