ABOLITION IS PROTESTED

The federal employment service IN
the Department of Labor Will De
wiped out of existence after July L

ported to the House last night. Ihe
committee recommends
that an estimated appropriation OF

year starting July / next be not allowed.
lowed.
The federal employment service was
designed during war days to prevent
the congestion of labor in any locaiity
and to allocate the available supply
of labor in order of priorities TO the
industries where it was most needed.
It was expected that this service
would perform an important WORK
during the days of demobliizatlon IN
finding employment for the returning
soldiers and in aiding industries TO
reorsanize their forces to a peace
time basis with as little disturbance
to business as possible.
Size and Scope Explained.
The size and scope of the organiza-
ton was explained at hearings oeiore
the appropriations committee Dy Johh
B. Densmore, director general OF tne
service, who said:
'"The agencies which we have SET up
in addition to our 500 regular employ,
ment Offices throughout the United
States-namely, about 1850 war serv-
ice bureaus-are special bureaus LoF
returning soldiers, sailors and ma
rines. We have some 1900, think,

ated by central committees OF Inc
Knights of Columbus, the War Camp
Community Service. the Red Cross, the
Y. NJ c. A, the Jewish Welfare Board.
Salvation Army. etc. Those people
are all grouped and are operating with
the service and cooperating under our
direction. There are 1850 Offices
MIR. Densmore submitted tables OF
statistics showing that the service
now has 1854 employees.
Last year this service had an ap-
preparation Of $500, 900, and there. is
deficiency estimate Of about W
500, 900, which is being considered by
the appropriations committee for IN
clusion in the third deficiency bill:
which will be introduced the hrst OF
the week.
Protests against the adjustment of
the employment service were received
from many state and municipal ofn-
Gals and others by the committee,
but it's majority voted against the
s1O,G33,000 appropriation for con-
tinuing the service. Four members,
however. joined in a minority report,
claiming that the service could be
continued by including the appropria-
ton in the new bill Other members
held that the service was created as
war emergency and could not be
continued without specific legisla-
ton.

take its place.
I have just got confidence enough
in President Wilson to believe that
he would not propose anything that
would result to the detriment of this
country. He is just. as big and true
an American as ever lived. He knows
more about the League of Nations
than Frank Greene and all his tribe
of junkers and partisans.
When all is said and done I want
to make this prediction. President
Wilson will return from France with
the Peace Treaty and League of
Nations covenant all combined in one
paper. He will throw it at the United
States Senate and that body will not
dare to not ratify it.
AS the Middlebury Register says,
The League of Nations is Right.
It is right, the people want it carried
out. Vermont wants it and wants it
so much that it will not hesitate to
depart from it's traditional Republic
anism if necessary to carry it
through.
Frank Greene, you're treading on
dangerous ground in your opposition
to the League of Nations. You're go
ing counter to the ideas of the real
people of this state. You and the
rest of your Vermont Congressional
Colleagues will get setback good
and strong if you continue your par
tisan opposition to this covenant to
stop world war"

Unprepared England

Conflict of opinion on Lord Jelli-
GOES action at the battle of Jutland is
reused into new heat by the appear
ance of his book on the naval history
of the war during his term in COM
mand of the fleet, from which we
printed excerpts on page rs of the
Literary Digest for March 8. The
London press seem divided in praise
or blame of him, but all observers are
alarmed by his revelations of the sta
tus of the British Navy at the out
break of the war. The London Spec
tator infers from Lord Jellicoe's book
that eff the enemy had had sufficient
enterprise, his submarines might have
entered our bases almost at any time
in the early part of the war and sunk
large part of the Grand Fleet" The
London Pail Mall Gazette is amazed
that Britain's battle-cruisers were
"inadequately protected against shell,
torpedo, and mine," and that the
number of destroyers which could be
allotted to the Grand Fleet was less
than the number which the Germans
were able to employ against it. But
this was not all. Germany possest an

ed through the interior of the ship it

These disclosures, in view of some
onlookers, offer the best explanation
of Lord Jellicoe's defensive strategy
at the battle of Jutland, about which,
remarks the London Times, there can
never be such controversy as there
was about the battle of Trafalgar.
After more than a century, it is re-
called, the Admiralty appointed a
committee to decide whether the
battle of Trafalgar was fought in
accordance with. the original inten-
tons of Nelson or not. Lord Jellicoe
writes not in the least a defense, ac-
cording to this journal, for no de-
Tense is needed, but he gives ga very
frank, seamanlike, and entirely mod
est and straightforward explanation"
He has been "widely blamed for his
cautious tactics and failure to destroy
the German Fleet" observes the Bel
fast Northern Wing, and while it is
clear that by temperament Lord Jelli-
coe belongs to the defensive type of
strategists, still it must be remember
ed that
"In the case of the Jutland battle,
however, it is only fair to state that
his decision to break off the engage
ment owing to the approach ~ 'ork-
ness was approved by Admiral Beatty
who certainly does not belong to the
defensive school of tactics. Altho
Lord Jellicoe makes no express
charges against one, it is evident that
he was not always properly supported
by the Admiralty. Only after urgent
demands did he get the assistance of
Beatty's Battle Cruiser Squadron at
the action in the Helgoland Blight.
During the Jutland battle Commodore
Tyrwhitt's squadron lay idle at Har-
witch when its aid might have been
invaluable. Jellicoe's proposal to at
tack Zeebrugge in 1914 was also re-
jected, only to be adopted long after
ward when the defenses were far
stronger; while, on the other hand,
some of the Whitehall strategists
made the Churchillian proposal to at
tack the tremendous defenses of Hell
goland-a plan as foolish as the
bombardment of the Dardanelles."
1t begins to look as if something
else beside the American army was
unprepared.
