Wounded men whose cases have not yet been finally passed on by the War Risk Insurance board are, in many instances, without money for immedi- ate expenses and for this reason can not enter upon this vocational train ing. All such cases will be cared for by the Elks' fund.
 Thousands of cases of wounded sol diers do not come within the purview of the federal act for vocational train ing at all. These include those who were wounded before the law became operative, those not technically in. cluded under it by reason of the char acter of their disability, and citizens of this country who were wounded while fighting in the armies of the allies.

(By ALBERT B. REAGAN.) Right and justice call'd all free men to

 to help halt the Huns advance. Savage tides of heinous, hateful brutes
 shall not engulf the world Swift we hurried that their gory host
 beyond the Rhine be hurled. Swift we hurried, God, humanity com
 manded then as now. Measur'd we our blood and strength
 that all men of free mind should
 hot bow
 To the Hun in hat'd submission, but
 should be forever free That they should control their lot and
 work out their own destiny. Swift we hurried, rushed we our all,
 men, food, money to the fight That the crown of human freedom
 should come into it's own right That the brutal German ruler to eter-

 deemed back to liberty. Swift we hurried, sailors, soldiers, to
 o'erwhelm the Kaiser beast, And with Stars and Stripes, Tricolor,

ELKS WILL HELP
 RETURNING SOLDIERS
 SECURE EDUCATION
Vocational Training Act Ahead of All Laws on the Subject Enacted
 in European Countries

At the international conference on vocational education for disabled sol diers of the late war, which has just closed a five-day session in New York, the European delegates strongly en- dorsed the provision in the law passed by Congress-on this subject which pro- vises for cooperative arrangements between the government and private agencies. Vocational work has been going on in France since the first year of the war; but it has been found that government agents alone can not interest large percentage of the dis abled soldiers in it, and no such CO., operative arrangement is authorized abroad as that cont aimed in the law of this country. In the United States the federal board has selected the Elks fraternity as the private agency to as sist in this work. The international conference was addressed by Joseph IT. Tanning, secretary of the Elks' War Relief Commission, and his pledge of the financial and fraternal re- sources of the order, with it's 500,000 members, in personally searching out ana interesting all disabled soldiers, sailors and marines in vocational training or re-education was received with great enthusiasm.
 The Benevolent and Protective Or der of Elks has branched out in new field of work that is destined to de- velop into a great asset for the na- tion. This is through the appoint ment in every Elks' lodge throughout the country of a special committee known as the Soldiers Friend Com mittee," which will cooperate with the federal board for vocational education in the re-education of disabled sol diers, sailors and marines.
 { The government proposes to edu- cate every one of it's disabled parti- cipants in the great war, for future usefulness and independence. This will be done by teaching them trades or professions which will overcome their physical disability and make them capable of earning at least as much as before they were disabled.
 The Elks' connection with this great work will be primarily to give it the human touch. In many instances, too,

be cared for from the Elks' fund.
 In addition to this, it will be the business of the Elks to get in personal touch with these wounded men and their families and urge them to take advantage of the governments action of offering free vocational trainig, all expenses being paid by the govern ment and the Elks.
 But experience has shown that these wounded heroes do not always take kindly to this re-education. Some times the men themselves, and more often their relatives or friends, get the idea that the country owes them a living for what they have contributed physically to save it. The Elks will make it their business to convince these heroes of the wisdom of fitting themselves to be self-supporting and independent, instead of becoming ob-

jects of charity or compelled to live on the mere pittance of pension. 1t should be remembered that, regardless of whatever earning capacity these wounded men may acquire by voca- tional training or re-education, their right to a pension will be in no wise affected by their increased earning ability. The economic value to the country of this vocational training for disabled men is declared by men who have investigated it's possibilities as being almost beyond computation.

 IS OFF TO RUSSIA

Captain John D. Guthrie, former forest supervisor, writes the following interesting letter relative to his move. ments to. T. A. Riordan:
 Park Royal, London, Eng,
 March 31, 1919. Mir. T. A. Riordan,
 Flagstaff, Ariz.
 Dear MT. Riordan:
 have intended dropping you line ever since my arrival in London on March 13-but time has flown SC very quickly that, although our off cial duties here have been very light l am one of seven engineer officers going to Archangel to join the staff of the 31Oth engineers-a pioneer reg iment that has been on the Murmansk coast since last fall. We go up with four companies of railroad mainter- nance men-also general and his staff go up with us.
 According to the prescribed infor- nation, orders have been issued for the American troops to come out, and should reach Koia Bay by April 10 at the outside. From there we go to Archangel.
 I am to be forestry officer on the staff of the 310th engineers. From what l can learn there are some (or there were) forty sawmills at Arch angel, and the region around Archan- gel is forested with Sylvester or old Scotch pine-the same kind we cut in France. Russia, as you know, has the largest forested area in the world. There is no coal in northern Russia (although Russia is said to have the largest coal deposits in the world), so the allied troops burn wood, and all locomotives are wood-burning. The country seems to be one largely of swamps and rivers--which makes go- ing good in the winter on the ice and snow-but it's a different story in the short summer, when the country is vast bog. Naturally raill oad construction and maintenance during the summer months are unsatisfac- tory. F
 I have enjoyed every minute of my stay in London. We are at Park Royal camp-within a half hours run by the Tube" to the heart of Lon don--and so I have taken advantage of this opportunity to see the sights and scenes of which I've heard and read all my life. Have seen the Prince of Wales; the march post of the fam ous guards divisions, which includes such famous regiments as the House. hold Cavalry, the Grenadiers, the Cold Stream Guards, the Scots, the Irish and Welsh Guards. This was thelr triumphal parade upon their return from France.
 We've had fine weather-for Lon don. This is beautiful camp, and the British officers have been fine to us. have "tead" at most of the fam ous places--and some of us have be- come regular "tea-hounds." We've seen most of the good shows, includ- ing Elsie Janis in Hello, America" !" "Chee Chin, Chow," etc.
 My old company left for the States in January and probably by now are mustered out. Wahlenberg went back as captain of my old company. Many of the battalions of the Twentieth are still in France, cutting the fire killed timber and repairing roads used by us, but the plans for sailing contem- plated all of the Twentieth to be back by June 1.
 I was really sorry to leave France and hope to get back there again
