EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
GAVE THOUSANDS WORK

That the United States Employment
service has been q most important branch
Of the Government service during the past
year, is indicated by the annual report
Just submitted by Federal Director A. G..
Benkhart 70 Mayor John w. Lawson and
City Council. During the year nearly 28,-
900 people made application for work,
and nearly all Of them we're assigned 70
employment in this city. Those not as
signed was not due 10 q scarcity Of aD-
plicants for help, az the number If
orders flied with the Service for help 81
various kinds exceeded the number of ap-
plications for work by more than ten
thousand, but due TO "hoaters, who had no
real desire for work The report follows:
"To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council, City Of Wilmington, Del
Gentlemen:
'In accordance with Councils res-
oluton Of August ~ 1916, / have the
honor TO submit hereunder q resume Of
reports furnished you from time to time u
the activities Of the local U s Employment
Service, with which the City Of Whining
ton is cooperating. The report covers
the period beginning January l. 1918,
and ending December 81 1913.
Applications for employment reg
istered-Males. 24900 females, 3,08l;
total, 27,9s1.
Applications for help-Aales, "a
224; females, 1880; total, 38,S54.

655; females, 1856; total, 273ll.
Reported piaoed-Males, 20,Il2; fe-
males, 2, al; total 22,553.
The apparent discrepancy between the
number referred to employment and the
number placed is due 20 the fact that
many employers failed TO return to this
office the card Of introduction gwen to all
applicants for employment.
With the ending OF the war II is antici-
pated that employment conditions through
out the country WILDE reversed-that inthe
near future this Service will have more
workers. both males and females, than
in which they may be
placed. The returning OF our soldier bows
will greatly tax the resources and functions
of the Wilmington office. These facts were
included in a circular letter addressed
to the employers Of labor in this city
which is self explanatory.

NOW WE KNOW BETTER.
War Has Shown How Absurd Were
Some of Our Boastful
Claims.

What effect has the war had on the
English language" asks highbrow
of the Star.
Well, lets see II has eliminated a
good many popular expressions that
were in use before the war For IN
stance, there is this one; II we should
be attacked by foreign foe We could
raise an army overnight. \ million men
would spring to arms and be able 70 lick
the world.
In very general use at one tine,
especially in Congress and Cabinet places,
and at Fourth of July celebrations Now
marked Obsolete.
Then there is that other one, Why
do we need large navy? No nation
would dare come so far to attack lis.
Once good for an applause that would
raise the roof Now laid away in the
morgue of "Old English Literature"
In the same envelope is the expire sion Of
the late Jerry Simpson of Kansas: Why
build another battleship? We can't
shuck corn with them things.
Here is another one, at one time re-
garded as q gem of sound English in
campaign oratory: why these United
States could build a wall around the
coast, seal the gstes, and live without
communication with, or help from, any
country on the globe
Marked "Old Stuff and laid away
among the archives Of obsolete expressions.
There are Others, some from the high
est authority in the English language
and its uses. For instance: TOO proud
to fight
Put away and marked To be for
gotten
There are Others very many other
once cherished as the very pillar and
ground Of truth, that Save been literally
shot TO pieces in the war.
Possibly this does not answer the
question of our highbrow inquirer, but
It is worth notice in passing, Kansas

the government will try to prove show
that the Villa uprisings Of that year were
financed by Bcrnstorf and Albert. Drafts
drawn on that bank by Felix Somerfeld
the enemy alien who was Villa agent in
New York, show that in eight months
Villn received nearly s400, 900 worth Of
rifle cartridges from Somerfeld, who,
Major Hume pointed out, was af that
time closely associated with the German
agents, Carl Rintelen and Friedrich

bankers in Mexico
Major Ifumes pointed out that on April

On the same day DR. Albert opened an
account IN the 81 Louis National Bank
for 100000
All three accounts, Major Humes
added, were closed out at about the
same time in the November following,
and during this period Villa received
