NEW SCHEME REPORTED
TO RAISE GERMAN ARMY
American Officers See in West
phalia Corps Plan How Hard
Prussian Militarism Dies.

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY. September 10 (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press).-
An entirely new scheme for establish
ing reserve army in Germany in an
ticipatiop of some future opportunity
to establish German military power is
seen by some German newspapers in
plan they have just discovered and
exposed.
While the scheme is confined to only
one regiment. and so probably has no
sanction from the war ministry, it is
an indication. in the opinion of Ameri-
can Army officers, who, for eight
months. have been studying demobili-
zation of the German forces, of how
hard Prussian militarism dies.
The Lightschlag Corps in West
phalia. now the SD Reichswehr ina
tional army Regiment of the 31st
Reichswehr Brigade, has sent cut cir
culars to all men who have served in
this volunteer unit since the armi-
stice, urging them to sign pledge to
answer to a call to the colors in the
event, of general disorder or new
revolution.

Cannot Find Locksmith.

1T seems incredible, but we could
not find even one locksmith among
our applicants, yet we knew of more
than hundred openings for men in
that trade. It was the same with
shoemakers. Now, out Of those g.
211 men whom we listed as applf-
cante there must have been at least
one who was a shoemaker. II there
was he refused to admit it, for we
could not get any one Of them to take
interest in the 128 Jobs at the shoe
bench. which we found to be waiting
for capable men.
Likewise, we failed to unearth
any BARRIERS. although there was de.
mand for them. Neither were there
any detectives. We were astonished
when our canvassers listed ten Jobs
as detectives to be filled. Those Jobs
are still untitled, SO far as we are
concerned. :" -
I'VE were gratified. of course, to
see men put forward by us land hap
PLY in $7.000-a-year jobs. But there
was a sad incident in connection
with the highest salaried place on
our list. It was a managership at
$4,000 year. A soldier had all of
the mental qualifications, but he was
turned down because of a moral blot
on his life.

work. to be done for the returned

Men Are Ambitious.

I'VE discovered early in the game
that many of the men had become i'm
bued with ambitious thoughts They
wanted better jobs than they had had
before they went to war. We SYM
pathized with their aspirations. How
ever. many of them were not fitted
for the kind of work they wanted, SO,
in order to put our sympathetic nn-
derstanding to practical use, we en-
ployed teachers and gave vocational
teaching and educational guidance to
21,113 soldiers. Under this training
nearly all qualified for positions in
higher fields than they had known
before they. went to France.
while we rejected several thou
sand so-called opportunities as not
worthy Of the men. we found that we
had openings for more men than ap-
piled for work. Employers had places
for 70,023 men: there were 62,211 ap-
,plicants on our books.
Wounded men, of course, enlisted
our most earnest efforts to be helpful.
We were successful in finding more
than 400 openings in the jewelry trade
AN occupation suited to men who
had lost their legs or who had been
crippled. Unfortunately we could not
find more than fifty-three men suit
able for that kind Of work.
Requests came to us to supply
more than 1000 tailors Only one man
was discovered who was a tailor and
said so. That one went to work at
$50 week. After that we kept on
looking for tailors, but without much
success.
