Information Service for Soldiers

1t was announced today by the United States
employment service, on the authorization of Col.
Arthur Wood, special assistant to the secretary
of war, that division of correspondence of the
emergency employment committee for soldiers
and sailors of the council of national defense is
ready for business.
This new division has been established for
the purpose of giving information and directions
to men who are being discharged from the service
such as questions concerning allotments, war
risk Insurance. bonuses, employment, civil rights,
vocational training and the like.
It is not the purpose of the division to in any
way supplant the work of any other government
department or bureau that is taking care of spe-
cific lines of information such as the United
States employment service, to whom all ques-
tions on employment will be referred, the Red
Cross which is furnishing information as to cas-
uaties civilian relief, etc. Nor is it the intention
of either the committee or the new division to at
tend to anybody else's business-the purpose is
simply to render distinct service to those SOL
diers and sailors and marines who do not know
where to write who having written, have re-
ceived no action on their letters.
1t has been noted that men who have been in
the service turn naturally to the war department
division to direct these men where the Informal
ton can be obtained.
Whenever letter is received asking for spe-
cifc information which can be furnished by some
other government department or organization, it
will be referred to that department and the writer
advised that it has been referred. If no action
is obtained, the division of correspondence will
then take the matter up for the soldier or sailor
with the proper officials.
This division is simply a court of last re-
sort to serve men discharged from the service
who do not know where to obtain desired Informal
ton or who having written have received no
response.
Captain C. B. Hammond will be in charge of
the division. All requests for information should
be addressed to Colonel Arthur Woods, special
assistant to the secretary of war, council of
national defense building, Washington, D. c.

based on g. 446 building and construction projects

half the total construction costs, yet to be
started.
With March showing remarkable increase
over January and February in contracts let, and
with approximately billion dollars worth of
projects known to be contemplated, there appears
to be justification for the prediction that 1919
will prove one of the greatest in American his
tory for building and construction work.
The war brought building and construction

ors and builders on these deferred projects, q

may be referred to such-for these question
naires is February l, and they are, therefore,
recent enough to clearly indicate the situation

The personal experience of Walter
Luther, miner, 1927 North Fourth St,
Terre Haute, with Pepgen, is inter
esting because there are hundreds of
people who are troubled the same way
he was The rapid manner in which
Pepgen relieved him is little short OF
marvellous. declares his wife, who re-
lates the following:
my husband suffered with severe
pains in his back. l don't think it was
a case Of rheumatism but his kidneys
were out of order and that seemed to
upset his entire system. He COM
planned that his food did not agree
with him and that he frequently was
annoyed with sour stomach, heart
burn and indigestion. There were a
great many foods that he didn't dare
touch. If he did he was sure TO have
misery. Gradually his appetite left
him and then he grew weak from I'M
der nourishment
He was feeling very bad when he
started to take Pepgen. 1t is little
short of marvellous how the tonic
helped him. He has splendid appe
tite and can eat anything that is set
before him. He looks brighter, and he
tells me that he feels stronger. We
gave some Pepgen to a friend Of ours
who was having trouble with her stom-
ach. | saw her a few days since and
she told me it was certainly fine medi-
cire and that she was going right
away and get bottle"
Those who wish to learn more OF
Pepgen may do so at Thistlethwaite'
drug stores or any other first-class
drug store anywhere.-Adv.

Wayne County's Soldiers and Sailors

Wayne county need not be ashamed of the
record which her sons in the army and navy made
in the great war. They kept alive the fighting
traditions of their fathers and grandfathers and
contributed a new chapter to the annals of our
community history.
A partial review of their deeds, printed in the
Palladium Wednesday, makes impressive reading.
The article is worthy Of preservation. Owing
to the large number of men called to service and
the difficulty of ascertaining the war record of
all of them, some omissions may have occurred.
These were unintentional, and as the records
gradually come out of the Washington office the
home list will be supplemented.
In this connection attention is again called
to the association which the veterans of the great
war are forming here. Every man who was in
the service should join the organization. Broth
ers in will find in it of keeping
alive glorious memories and Of perpetuating the
spirit that actuated them when they discarded
civilian garb for the uniform of the republic. In
it's widest significance, the association will serve
a high patriotic purpose, for it will keep alive the
martial spirit that must actuate citizens of re-
public that is dedicated to the principles Of human
liberties. To this cause every sailor and soldier
can dedicate himself and every civilian &C
cord full measure of support.

Buying Bonds is Doubly Beneficial

Because the war drums throb no more and
the battle flags are furled let it not be taken for
granted that the inevitable consequences of war
have passed." says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Immense as were the preparations for the enter
ing of the war with Germany they pale into insig-
nificance beside the unacceptable labor of devolll
ton. Millions of soldiers are to be returned to
civil life, thousands of factories are to be re-
stored to their former places in the world OF
peaceful production, ships and shoes and sealing
wax are to be considered and the old machinery
of government must be reconstructed to meet
new conditions.
THE people must bend their backs to this
burden The money for all these things must
be provided unless the nation is to stand dis
honored. Only the recreant will take refuge be-
hind the blunders of administration. Each of us
was fully aware of what the declaration of war
would bring, and it is detestable to play the part
of the scuttling crawfish now.
"All went on the national note for funds, and
it cannot be permitted to go to protest.
ut is taken for granted that the indorsers
will prove faithful. Indeed, it is unthnkable that
any other course would be pursued.
LET the response be hearty one, because
the the debris of hostilites is cleared away
the sooner will come the reduction in the super
taxes which now are making considerable fric-
ton in the machinery of business.
Buying victory bonds now and otherwise as
sisting to relieve the strain on the Treasury
means triumph over industrial paralysis

good citizenship, but it is also wise and construct
