ERZBERGER TELLS REASON WHY HE SIGNED THE
 ARMISTICE OF ALLIES

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Erzberg- er Centrist leader and member. of German armistice delegation, says in the New York World: "I signed the armistice because there was nothing else to do We could not go on without disaster. But even IS l signed it l feared it would be impossible to live up to the letter of the agreement. Marshal Foch did not believe in the sincerity of our demand nor did he appreciate it's urgency. l am sure he thought it was a German ruse." Discussing evacuation of occupied territories 1y German troops Erzberger says:
 Our fear is that our soldiers surthest from the Rhine may be- come panicky, fearing they may never reach the Rhine and may be interned. Should that occur the army may be thrown into such dis order as to do much harm to the tender young German democracy" He complains of large deliveries of railroad equipment, claiming that If 900,000 German railroad cars 250,OOO are in Poland, Ukrainia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Rumania and therefore valueless. There is always car shortage in Germany in the fail and this season it is az
 gravated. Surrender of 150,000 cars within armistice period will mako ipterior cifuation xary d;@

DANDELION DRIVE
TO BE SUCCESSFUL
Indications, Judging From Re-
suits to Date, Are That All
Lawns Will Be Saved.

Great Falls is certain to be saved from
the ravages of the dandelion now. The
task of ridding the city Of the weed is
progressing relentlessly, 1900 school

gardens of dandelions is to bear fruit.
from the looks of results already seen.
Tons upon tons of the dandelions have
Deen dug from their Businesses beneath
the surface of the ground, for it is said
the root of a dandelion extends down
IN many instances more than foot and
that merely picking them does not eradi-
cate the nuisance.
Other cities continue to watch the
result of the campaign here and there
is little question but some Of them will
carry out a similar drive in the near
future.
Mayor Newman has not yet completed
plans for the big picnic to be rendered

FOR THE SOLDIERS

4. G. Hay, secretary of the Soldiers
and Sailors department Of the United
States employment service is Swamp
ed'' with applications for jobs which he
finds it almost an impossibility to sup
ply Tor the numerous service men who
are returning every day and en-
listing for help at this office. Mr.. Hav,
from recent reports from several re-
turned service men. has discovered, he
says, that there are many contractors
in this city and vicinity who have po-
sitions open but have refused to give
them to returned service men for some
reason or other" quoting Mr.. Hay on
the matter.
"A few months ago when the Unit
ed States employment department was
looking for positions for men, num-
Der of business men, contractors and
farmers withheld POSITIONS which they
could have created then and filled with
men from this office hut they did SO
saying that they were holding them
open for returned soldiers and sailors
or marines said Mr.. Hay. During the
past two weeks there have been num-
Der of service men return to the city
who are now looking for positions, and

would like to have all such offers now
fulfilled
The soldiers and sailors department
Of the mems division has greatly aided
in the placement of returned service
men into positions and during the two
weeks. ending May n, the total num-
Der of men placed were - but this

CHANCES TO OPEN
In MAIL SERVICE

| A civil service examination will be
held in Great Falls, June IA, 1919, for
the purpose Of securing list Of male
/! el1gibles for clerk and carrier work in
connection with the Great Falls office
Applicants must be not less than Is
and not more than 45 years old. This
presents good opportunity for young
men with ordinary high school educa-
ton to secure a desirable position. The
compensation has recently been increas-
ed 70 per cent SO that the entrance
salary IS now $1,000 per year with an
increase ll.i, o1 sIuo per year up to $500.
wh1ie some city positions pay a little
more, it should be remembered that
there is always more or less lost time
on account OF inclement weather and
other causes. A young man holding n
civil service. position is always certain
~ advance just how much money he is
going to receive and aside from this
fact ne IS entitled to an annual vacation
or 10 days. Another and most import
ant point is that he knows that as long
as ne attends to his duties and remains
respectable citizen his position can
not be taken away from him.
At the present there are several va
cancies in the clerk and carrier posi-
tions in the local office and two new
carriers will probably be added in the
near future according to information
given out yesterday BY Postmaster VIII
lam Ciuston. This will make in all about
SIX or seven openings practically guar
anteelng work to all who pass sue
cessful examination.
There seems to have been some diff
ficulty for the returned service men
to find positions upon their return home
and the civil service examinations If
passed will greatly aid them in finding
a position.
