Jobs for Disabled Yanks

Washington, D. c., May 20.-An
Executive Order recently issued by
the President and received by cable
amends the Federal civil service
rules so as to permit the U. S. Civil
Service Commission to waive the
physical requirements under certain
conditions in favor of men who were
injured in the military or naval Ser
vice.
The civil service regulations speci-
fy certain physical defects which de-
bar from all examinations and other
defects which will debar from GER
tain examinations. These regula-
tions are based upon the require
ments of the service as established
by the several department heads.
Upon the recommendation OF
the Commission, after consultation
with the Federal Board for Vocation
al Education and the U. S Employees
Compensation Commission, the Presl
dent issued an Executive Order as
follows: r
Provided, that the Commission
may, in it's discretion, exempt from
the physical requirements establish
ed for any position disabled and
honorably discharged soldier, sailor
or marine upon the certilication OF

THE VICTORY BUTTON.
It Distinguishes q Newly Organized
Force in American Life,

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: A
new brotherhood Is born. The emblem
IL the bronze Victory button worn by
honorably discharged soldiers. It stands
for outstanding, hard hitting American
manhood. Men of all ranks are proud
to wear it. To see 1t on a man means
that that man honors all that his SER
vice meant, stands ready to be called on
in any daily emergency and to practise
courtesy and regard for the rights Of
others. He wants to play the game.
The American Legion is organizing
this body of men with its wonderful
potentiality so that its fearless Ameri-
canism may be felt for the good Of
America far beyond the power of any
other organization. This is most m
portant at this time of general uncer-
tainty and the lack Of inclination on the
part of the people to get together. We
seem so Indifferent to the things that do
not directly concern our immediate well
fare.
The fabric of our country's traditions,
government and industries is permeated
with the poison of Bolshevism, social
ism and the like Their propaganda is
permeating labor, and the lid Of one or
ganizatlon after another keeps blowing
off. Prussianism is still at work. Hero
is work for the Legion, a chance for
comprehensive instruction or its men,
bers. When they realize the danger Of
revolution they will gladly play their
part according to their instruction. How
much the Legion will be felt politically
will depend on conditions.
This great army, especially the part
that served in France. is bound together
by a knowledge Of actual conditions con-
fronted and a common viewpoint that the
civilian cannot or will not grasp. He
thinks the soldier views the result of
personal disyruntlement as ''het air. ;
but the 'buddies' understand and agree.
This sympathy binds and always will
bind them.
1t is an army without an idol, without
It's loved hero. There is no Grant or Lee
or Sherman or Sheridan to adore this
time. There is no name that can be
mentioned before a large body Of the
men that will ever cause one single
added pulse beat. Many explanations
may be made, but the fact remains
However, do not think It an army
without a heart. I was in the ward OF
! hospital near Bordeaux with forty-nine
other officers on the day of the report OF
Colonel Roosevelt's death. These men
were from many different combat di-
visions and came from the north. south.

there was not a man in that ward that

Guayaqun Cleaned Up.

A despatch of a few lines from
Guayaquil, saying that Major General
GoReAs has announced the eradication
of yellow fever In that town, indicates
that the chief seaport of Ecuador at
last has had lifted from It the incubus
Of centuries 1t was once the cry in
Panama that its yellow fever came
from Guayaquil, and in Guayaquil
that the fever originated in Panama.
When GoRGAs and SHoNTs cleaned up
the Isthmus it became evident that the
mutual recrimination was unfounded.
Since then the Ecuador town has been
the worst plagued fever city Of South
America. As late as 1912 the Amer
lean Consul at GuayaQuil reported
that tourists should stay away except
from June to October /.
If Guayaquil has been cleaned up
so that the mosquito will no longer
exist 1t must also be that the town
has been rid of other pests. The An.
dine traveller WHYMPER testified that

in the bedroom he took at Guayaquil
he made a collection of fifty kinds of
insects. 1t Is not nature who has
been dirty there, but man. The city
was clean only after the torrential
rains. Drainage of streets and the
elimination Of pools where mosquitoes
bred were the chief needs of the place.
Ecuador in general is not a victim of
yellow fever, but the reputation of its
seaport kept many visitors away.
Thanks to GoRGAs and his associ-
ates in the Rockefeller commission
an important South American city
which is only $500 miles from New
York is made safe for the tourist and
the trader, not to mention the $4,000
inhabitants who have lived in con-

None who has watched the Sunday

Of THEODORE ROOSEVELT will fear that
his memory will easily fade. His
character, his principles, his deeds
are now, many months after his

But It is the habit Of civilized men
to establish formal memorials to their

ROOSEVELT In the same grateful way
that they have honored WASHINGTON
and LINCOLN and GRANT. The 9th
Of October is RoosEvELT's birthday,
and the week preceding that Monday
will be the occasion for memorial
meetings In every city and village,

tribute toward a memorial BETTING

This is new stun.

When the war began the Grand
Duchess MARIE-ADELAIDE ruled Luxem-
burg, and lnsuccessfully protested
against German invasion of it's terri
tories. The German reply was their
march across the Grand Duchy and
the occupation they persisted in until
the armistice. When the Americans
+, got to her capital they were greeted as
liberators and General PERsHINo stood
beside MARIE ADELAIDE on the balcony
Of the grand ducal palace as our SOL
diers entered Luxembourg on Novem-
Der 81.
Politics had been brewing during the
period OF German occupation and a
movement for republican institutions
was on foot. MARIE-ADELAIDE had suf-
fered in popularity. She was said to
have written to the German Emperor
that she prayed every day your army
may be suco" Ssful and bring back to
Germany a heavy harvest OF laurel"
1t was reported she was to marry a
Bavarian prince. HENRY; that Prince

one of her four sisters. Republicanism,
resentment against Germany, a keen
eye for the future. stirred the Luxem-
/ burgers. and in January a republic was
proclaimed. MARIE ADELAIDE quit the
throne, and CHARLOTTE. her sister, suc-
ceeded her. Out OF that uprising came
| the plebiscite of Sunday, in which the
Luxemburgers, men and women voting
on equal terms, decided to retain their
constitutional monarchy and TO seek
an economic alliance with France

A British Minority Strike Against
British Majority Sovereignty.

The railway strike situation In Eng
land can be plainly stated and easily
understood. The present British Gov
eminent represents, If 1t represents
anything at ell, the British nation.
But the railway unions have demanded
that the Government should represent
them above all the people. They
threatened that II their minority Will
were not imposed by the Government
upon the majority nation they would
defy the Government, lock the wheels
of the country's transportation, para
lyze the country's industry, cut off the
country's food and fuel-freeze and
starve the majority into subsection to
the minority. And now the minority
unions are trying to make good those
threats against the nation.
This is the British strike condition
In a nutshell. Nobody blinks the
truth over there; nobody need shut his
eyes to its significance over here. 1t
is, as the British Government declares
in its denunclation of the strikers,
simply war against the whole ma
ton by highly organized, closely CEN
tralized minority power which fights
its war exactly as the highly organ
lied and closely centralized German
power fought it's war against Europe,
regardless Of the terrible cost to men,
women and even children.
The issue being so clear, the result
cannot be in doubt. Either the Brit
ish Government is going to defeat the
railway strikers or 1t is going to hand
over its functions. 1t is not going to
hand them over, however, to the
strikers. If 1t were willing to II

tyranny Of a minority of high caste
