TRADE WAR

bitter trade war is expected between England and
the United States based what England calls imperial
preference That giving the preference to all manu-
facturers and farmers working soil belonging to the
British Empire This would discriminate of course against

that in friendly and efficient way by establishing, as
against the IMPERIAL preference, a REPUBLICAN pref

Help the Soldiers Find Work
By EARL GOODWIN.

President Wilson has made appeal to Congress- fol-
lowing his appeal employment Sunday, May 4, ask
ing that the soldiers returning to civil life be given jobs
The Presidents recommendation to the best method
of doing this the pubcs cooperation with the United
States Employment Service and asking employers to list
their needs with the service in order that soldiers and
sailors may be furnished to fill the jobs

poyment for them. They do not wish to become mendi
cants Their task the water is done They do not
seek undue remuneration. They seek chance to slip
quietly back into peacetme employment and by acting
gether in their interest it is within power give them
this opportunity.
Tears of welcome and shouts of joy when heroes
back to don citizens clothes will fail short Of their
real and true meaning unless those of citizens who
been apahec in the face of the emergency resulting from
the unemployment situation joed out Of their
pacency and accept their part of the problem of employ
ment and industrial reorganizations which will when
the boys come home.
Unemployment, in general and soldiers, especially in
Washington is fortunately as serious as in other larger
cities However Washington has her problem More than
100 soldiers registered with the local office of the En-
ployment Service asking aid in seeking work. Each Of
these men-o man-has done his duty and is expectant
that his country will do its by at least giving him chance
to work.
Peddlng by men in uniform, panhandng BY soldiers,
is not uncommon and in the larger cities became pro-
nounced to warrant action by the War Department
Many of these men-a of them entitled job free Of

PARIS. July THE Commission Of
Admirals appointed to consider the dis
position of the remaining German war
ships submitted their report TO the AL

states that no recommendations on the
question are possible until certain mat

Powers The probability seems to DO
that the whole question finally will be
referred TO the Governments of the va
rious Powers concerned.
AS the situation stands now, Japan
and the United States are understood
to favor breaking up or sinking the re-
naming warships. Great Britain APP
proves the plan to break them up, while
Italy agrees to their destruction con-
ditionally. but II this plan is not car
ried out it insists upon having her
share OF the vessels. in case they are
divided among the Powers. France OPP
poses the destruction of the vessels and
desires their distribution. Some Of the
smaller Powers. notably Poland. approve
the plan to destroy the vessels.
