Uncle Sam Plays the Role of Foster Fa-
Their to His Boys.

Washington, d. c., June l7-Just by
way of illustrating what the federal
board for vocational education is doing
for our wounded boys, take this case
which is one of thousands who are be-
ing helped to overcome their handicap:
Away back early in the war one of
the boys got frightful wound in the
leg and was carried to the hospital half
crazy with the pain. After the other
effects had passed, he was told that his
right leg had been taken off just five
inches below the hip. "Were they to let
his mother know, or his fatherY" He
shook his head. You see he didn't happen
to have any father or mother. In fact
it developed that there wasn't single
soul that that boy knew who would be
interested to make life worth while for
him, after he got back to his town with
a wooden leg and shattered future.
There were lots Of complications too.
He had been so anxious to get an educa-
tion that he had borrowed the money to
20 through high school. because he had
hopes of entering the banking business
later on. With no right leg and no money,
1t looked for a while as though there
wasn't any heart either to go on and
fight it out. But it was there, and
the only thing needed to discover it was
the exercise of little intuition on the
part of special agent of the federal
board for vocational education These
special agents are endowed with kind
OF super sense. They know when man
has some possibility hidden away that
even he himself doesn't know about. The
possibility they found here was good
enough bet to stake pretty fair sum
of money on, and that is what the board
did.
He was sent after his discharge to a
commercial school, and completed a
course in commercial subjects. And then
the possibility didn't seem to be at an
end, for he was found to have made such
good progress that he was given col
legiate course in banking and economies
so that his field of activity could be
considerably widened
Sometimes, he says, he stops and
thinks of that first day when he wished
so hard for somebody to care, and then
of to-day when he is doing the one thing
that he has always wanted to do, and
hardly dared to hope for This is just
one out of the thousands of cases on
file with the federal board

CADORNA AND THREE OTHER
GENERALS HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR CAPORETTO DISASTER

Rome August 14.-General Cadorna,
the Italian commander-in-chief in Octo-
Der. 1917, and Generals Porro, Capello
and Cavaciocchi, were mainly respon-
sible for the disaster to the Italian
army at Caporetto which resulted in
the retreat to the Piave, according to
the official report of the commission
of inquiry, made public today.
The defeat of the Italians when the
AustroGermans broke through their
line is attributed by the commission
chiefly to military causes, including de-
preston of morale and an entire lack
of reserves.
The report of the commission admits
that socialist and clerical propaganda
had played its part in the lessening of
morale of the Italian soldiers.
