GERMANY SEEKS LOST TRADE
Would Regain Her Prewar Place In
Commercial World-cunning
Is Shown.

Brussels.-Signs are not lacking
here of the attempt being made by
Germany to regain the place In the
commercial world which she lost
through the war.
Goods now In the market in Belgium
are often typically German. They are
supposed to have been introduced Sc
cretly into the country via neutrals
such as Holland and the Scandinavian
countries.
One outstanding feature Of these
goods, however, is the disappearance
of the German trademark, but the
German cunning does not halt at this
The imperial crowns are now replaced
by American eagles in an attempt to
make the goods pass off as American,
while others bear British and French
trademarks. The names Of German
firms are completely absent, but the
manufacture is too typically German
to go undetected.

HELPS SOLDIERS !
TO find JOBS
Bureau in Chicago Shows Gooa
Record in Helping Dis.
charged Men.
PLANNED BY GENERAL WOOD
OF the Men Seeking Employment
cas- Per Cent Have Found It
Through the lnstrumentallty
Of the Bureau.

Chicago.-From a report Just ISSUED
by the bureau for returning soldiers
and sailors and marines In this city
1t is possible to get adequate informa
ton concerning what has been done ir
behalf of those of our returned de
tenders who have sought employment
and other aid.
In the district Of which Chicago IL
the headquarters, the plan Of the bu
reau for giving assistance to dis
charged service men was formed BY
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, who acts as
the chairman of the headquarters com
mittee, and who from the first has
taken personal interest in the work
The bureau was established last April
and its records today show that 43,345
service men have registered at head.
quarters. OF this number 32,259 asked
for assistance in obtaining employ
ment. At the present time the files
of the bureau show that only 2,25C
men still remain on the mot hired
list. This means that 94.3 per cent OF
the men seeking employment have
found 1t through the instrumentality
of the bureau.
Rumors Are Refuted.
There have been rumors which some
people have been busy in passing
along to the effect that bureaus for
aiding the soldiers and sailors to get
re-established in civil life were not do
ing adequate work. To considerable
extent this sort of thing, 1t is said,
has been propaganda for no good pur-
pose. So far as the district which has
Chicago for its headquarters is con-
cerned, the attested records which
show that 94.3 per cent of the appli-
cants have found work, speak for
themselves.
In the daily life of the bureau there
is much to be found of human interest.
OF the 43,345 men who registered
about 5000 asked for assistance along
lines other than that of employment.
They wanted to secure vocational
training. to be given information con-
corning educational work, and In some
cases there were requests for clothing
and for temporary loans. Every case
was met. Out of the great number Of
men who applied at the bureau only
43S actually needed food. Between
5000 and 1000 of the men did not
know how to secure their bonuses
from the government. Every man was
told how to go at it and every man got
his money. OF the applicants for as
sistance $500 have entered courses of
vocational training.
Much of Interest.
The activities of the bureau as they
have gone on day by day are interest
ing to watch. From the returned sol.
diers and sailors one gets the after
the-war viewpoint. The comments on
the war and its aftermath and the
conclusions which the men have drawn
show almost invariably thoughtful
consideration Of the problems involved.
Col. Halstead Dorey. who served
with the Third Division in France and
who was four times wounded, is &C.

reau. With him are Maj. John S.
Bonner, who formerly was a United
States consul, and Lieut.. w. e. Stan.
