1t must be remembered in this> connection
that America went into the war with Ger
many for tho sole purpose OF putting an end
to war. This country was told day in and
day out that tho sacrifices 1t was called upon
to make, the lives it was called upon to lose
and the treasure it was called upon to give
up could only be justified IL victory over
Germany should be followed by the reason
able certainty that no such war could ever
again be waged. 1t is natural that the Amer
lean people, with this hope firmly planted in
their minds, should make it Improbable for
any group Of mon to throw themselves in
the way Of any sort Of a league of nations.
This popular feeling no doubt is huving fits

Roanoke. Lynchburg and Danville are
making strenuous efforts to retain their
branches OF the United States EMPLOYMENT
Service, and indications are that all three
cities will be successful. The appropriation
for the service was among the many measures
which had not been passed when Congress
adjourned and, in the belief that Congress
at the special session will remedy this, the
service has been continued in operation in the
large centers OF the United States, but funds
are SO limited that the branches in cities of
the class of Roanoke, Lynchburg and Dan
Vile will have TO be discontinued unless the
citizens of these municipalities come to the
rescue. That they are doing all in their
power is shown by the money being pledged
by their business organizations and City
Councils. At this time the work OF the
United States Employment Service is OF such
importance that it can hardly be dispensed
with without serious detriment to employers
sand prospective employees.
