Evidence that returned soldiers, par

its name be rot disclosed.
OF more than six hundred returned
soldiers who have been employed by
this corporation 43 per cent have
proved more efficient than they were
before their military experience; So
per cent are put down as Just about
the same as before In efficiency and
the remaining per cent are rated as
