Re--Education for Dis
abledU. S. Soldiers On
y; Many Wounded
Not Eligible
Special Training for War Veter.
ans Available to Certain
Classes. Men Should Ap-
ply to Federal Board

+. Washington, March 2o.-Not every
man who has been wounded or has
suffered disability from sickness, ac-
cident, or disease is entitled to the
! free trade, agricultural and CONNER
cial training which the Government,
furnishes. The law under which this
training is given provides as pEcre-
quisite that the man shall be either
eligible for or recipient of compen-
sation from the War Risk Insurance
Bureau. In other words, if he has
not been injured sufficiently to be in
receipt of compensation, the Govern
ment assumes that he will have no
difficulty in resuming his torme. oc
cupation, and does not need this sp &C.
ialized re-education.
For those who are eligible for
compensation, the Government
will allow support of $65 per
month if the man is single, SIS
if he is married and lives with
his wife while taking training,
and with an allowance of $40 for
each child up to three. The train
ing is given in the very best ed
ucational and chronological insti-
tutions of the United States, alb
solutely without cost to the man,
every expense being borne by
the Government. There is no
time limit set for the completion
of the course. The sole object is
to make a first class, proficient
man in what he has undertaken.
Some Of this instruction is given
directly in various works and
factories. When he has quail
fled, he is placed in a position
which has been obtained for him,
and there he is kept under super
vision until it is demonstrated
that he can carry on under COM
mercial conditions. When he
goes on the payroll, and usually
at wages far in excess of what
he has ever earned before, not
withstanding that he may be a
badly handicapped man physical
ly, his compensation then begins
from the War Risk and supple
ments his earnings.
This work is in charge Of the
Federal Board for Vocational
Education at Washington, and
the Board is especially desirous
of getting in touch with disabled
men who have either taken on
semi-charity jobs, or who have
endeavored to enter into some
other line of occupation and have
found their handicaps a serious
detriment.
Inquiries are welcomed and in
formation from patriotic citizens
who know of men occupying
semi-charity jobs and who win
send in the names of such men,
will be conferring a favor upon
such men, and the interested CO.
operation will be welcomed by
the Federal Board.

NEW WIRE TOLLS
 MEAN BIG INCREASE

Montgomery, January S.-(Special) )-Fig- ures compiled by the Alabama public service commission and made public Wednesday show that the American Tel ephone and Telegraph company, and other subsidiary organizations, will add thou sands of dollars to the revenue under the new toll rates which become effective in the United States at 12:01 a. m., Jan- uary 21 This compilation of figures fol- lowed the refusal of the commission Tuesday to approve the new rates, be- cause they are shown to be far in ex- cess of the rates now charged.
 To the average layman the new classi- fication of rates is complicated, it was stated. The Postmaster General at Wash ington, who directs the telephone com- panies, provided for different classes of service, one h..own as the station to station" and another the person to per son. call. There also is provision in the new classification which authorizes the telephone companies to make a charge for tits trouble even though a connec-
 tion is not obtained by the person calling. The legislature. which meets on January 14. will be asked to look into the matter of the government taking control of the states utilities commissions. The solons will be asked to provide some method whereby the state commission will con- trol the utilities again.

FRANCE FEELS LOSS

Paris. Tuesday, January 7.-"The sud- den and premature death of Roosevelt will be felt in France as genuine na- tional loss," declares the Petit Journal The phrase seems to sum up the senti- ments of all the morning newspapers on the death of Colonel Roosevelt.
 "During seven years.' says the Jour nal, Roosevelt was the most powerful
 man in the world In that short period he found the means to revolutlonlZe na- tiona1 opinion, to provide the Unted States with fleet, to settle the Russo Japanese conflict, and to create great international power which today under takes to create a society for the future
 The Gaulois, the royalist organ, says:
 This paladin of the heroic ages was at the same time the most far-sighted or modern statesmen. He formed the Amer ican sword which has been victorious, and he showed his country the way when it was still groping."
 Humanity, justice and law" says the Figaro, were not for him mere respect full entities, but familiar realities to be accepted always and unhesitaungly.
 Stephane Lauzanpe, in the Matin, quotes Colonel Roosevelt's farewell words to him when he recently! left the United States, as follows;
 CT have no message to send to France. I have given her the best I had. If over there you speak of me, tell them simply that I have but one regret, that l was not able to give myself.
 The Temps says:
 | "The man who has disappeared so pre- maturely will be not only one Of the greatest figures of his time, cut the ln- carnation of one of the greatest stages in Americas management of public at- fairs, both internal and external. For the historian he undoubtedly remains the first American statesman who directed his country in two directions, apparently divergent, but really parallel-interior re- | form and world policy"
 1 The Journal Des Debats concludes its 1 sketch of Colonel Roosevelt as follows: NO man raised the morale of the Amer | ican soul to a greater height by insist l ing more on the necessity of sacrifice ] but sacrifice intended not to be valn sacrifice, for the great ends which hu-
 manity holds before as its ideals. It Is l in this way that the great fighter, on en- I tering into eternal repose, will have de- served lasting glory and the supreme gratitude not only of his own, but Of the i whole world"

HEADQU ARTERS

'The Red Cross has certainly saved me lot of coal this winter" said one bright little worker the other day. T just bank my fire after breakfast and stay at headquarters all day. Loveman, Joseph & Loebs store is always warm and comfy and we have awfully good times together while we are working. Tho workers are fewer nowadays, you know, so that we do not even have to pretend to observe the rule of silence. I wish all the women who are new to the town and haven't enough friends yet in Birmins- ham would come up to the balcony and join us It is a fine way to get acquainted and besides ones time there counts for something'

SUMS UP OBSERVATIONS

Summing up his observations, Senator Owen said
 ''The high prices in Great Britain and France are due not alone to high freights and short supplies, but in part to the greatly expanded currency, which while nominally on a gold basis, is in reality based on governmental credit and patriotism, British and French notes not really being aVailable to get gold. Con sequently American dollars, exchange Great Britain and France paper currency not actually convertible in gold on de- mand and with a purchasing power much lower than in normal times.
 Tn the meantime, however. Americans are paying about twice as much for what they get In Great Britain and France as ir normal times.

 An international gold currency actu- ally convertible at all times in gold is greatly needed by the world now Great Britain is furnishing Russia with ruble notes redeemable in gold at London, providing a stable means for buying and selling commodities in Russia, not withstanding the fact that ruble notes are, in all human probability, not actu- ally engaged for gold in London"
