Seek CiuiIian Jobs for
Former Army Prisoners

The New York War Camp Community
Service announced yesterday the estab-
lshment of a special unemployment bu-
reau to help the military prisoners in
the "Castle" on Governors Island to
get back into civilian life. The bureau
is under direction of Harry M. Bremen,
Of the War Camp Community Service,
who has a staff Of three men.
"There are 1920 of these men at the
CASTLE" Mr.. Bremen said yesterday
"and soon there will be 1000. They will
be discharged with the yellow or blue
ticket, and will have to face the world
with IS in cash and a $40 suit of clothes.
Unlike men who get an honorable dis
charge they do not receive their trans
portation nor the $50 bonus. Realizing
that these men would land in New York
without friends or place to 60, we
have undertaken to do all we can for
them. Naturally, the first thing re-
Oui,ed are Jobs, and we are now regis
tcring them so that jobs may be found
for them.
The great majority of these mill
tary prisoners are serving sentences for
being absent without leave; they are not
criminals in the civilian sense. Most of
them have seen service overseas and
have fought in the great battles. They
ale entitled 10 their chance. and we in
tend that they shall have it."

able and reliable source. which will
guide the committee in framing legis-
lation for the permanent organization
of the military forces of the country.
ut is hoped that Congress, if not
during the extra session at least in the
coming regular session, will write a
military policy for the United States,
something that will be acceptable to
the people, democratic in character
elastic in it's mechanical workings and
capable of providing the country with
an adequate defence.
"The committee will hear officers
and civilans-of1icers of the regular
army, National Guard and reserve
corps, representatives of various asso-
cations interested in the subject, such
as the American Legion and other vet
eran soldier organizations. heads Of
universities, colleges and educational
systems.
"The committee approaches it's task

tons and not committed to any plan
thus far proposed. 1t hopes to con-
tributeAsomething in the way of con-
3tructive legislation"
