The Return Home OF Edith CayeII.

In its last tribute to EDITH CAvELL
the British nation honors a daughter
who met a heroic death. To Great
Britain Miss CAvELL Is a national
heroine who fell in the performance
of patriotic duty. But to the world
she is world heroine, whose un-
daunted spirit won victory in q titanic
struggle against terrorism.
1t was Miss CAvELL's heroism, de-
votlon and superb qualities Of woman
illness that drew the world to the door
of her Belgian prison. 1t was her
death that revealed in all Its ter
rors German militarism. Civilization
turned in horror from the crime-for
q crime 1t was-and people that may
have halted for a decision refused
comradeship with a Government that
made war on women.
The tribute paid her Is an unusual
military honor to woman: her body
escorted by a guard of British and
Belgian troops, carried back to her
native land by British warship for
military service in historic West
minister Abbey. 1t Is the desert OF a
heroine, a tribute in which the world
Joins with the British nation.

WHO NEEDS CHAUFFEURS?
Here Are $50 Idle, With the Best
References in the World.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: Men
returning from service overseas should
in my opinion have the preference in
obtaining employment upon their dis
charge from the army or navy. There
fore 1 am writing this letter for
former corporal. John J. Farrell of 1441

now employed as a chauffeur, and who
has at heart the welfare OF his COM
rades who shared the hardships with
him over in France.
His company. which was the 1o2d
Supply Train. Twenty Division.
did heroic work to conquer the Hun. as
the commander can verif' The men
have been mustered out OF service, and
the majority have been unable to Sc
cure employment on the ground they
have no references from former en-
ployers.
These men In civil life were not chauf-
feurs. but were all in different lines OF
industries, and were made chauffeurs
in the service Of Uncle Sam. They have
driven army trucks and automobiles for
over nine months on the other side, and
that should be the best reference for
any employers. All OF them have hon
orable discharges. which TO my mind is
the best recommendation in the world.
Out OF the company of $50 men. about
200 have secured jobs. The remainder
have no means of livelihood outside OF
work as chaufreurs and Jobs OF this
sort. They are unable to obtain It on
the ground stated above. Something
should be done for them and done
quickly. I am an ex-soldler myself and

NAVAL OFFICERS PAY.
A Complaint About Its Reduction
With the Coming OF Peace.

To THE EDITOR OF TIE SuN-Sir:: When
our navy was sent overseas all married
officers serving abroad were granted a
slight Increase In pay for the upkeep
OF their families at home. Now that
the war Is over this increase Is to be
taken away. and many officers will be
reduced in rank. too. owing to the less
ened enlisted personnel.
These two reductions, coming at one
time. decrease the pay of younger OFF,
GERS almost so per cent. i leave it to
your Imagination to solve the problem
OF keeping up a home on the amount
OF money each officer has availa BILE
for his family. When one considers
the millions spent yearly on pork bar
rel legislation, the millions that go so
easily in other ways and then realizes
that 100000 or less is needed to
pay the officers of our navy a living
wage" one can but wonder whether re-
publics are grateful after ALL or whether
the shouting We have been doing for our
returned heroes has expended itself
In noise and confusion after all.
