Headlines

Big headlines in the daily paper are always
the reflection of what shrewd editor considers
uppermost in the interest of his readers. Big
things get the big. headlines in the paper, and
attract the greatest amount of public attention
because they are already to the greatest extent
in the public mind.
Sometimes, however, things of great public
they are much in the mind of newspaper readers.
Employment for soldiers and sailors is in this
class-a the country is thinking of it, governors,
mayors, chambers of commerce, labor unions and
merchants associations, everybody is working to
get places for discharged service men, but the
headlines are all in the minds of the public, and
really not in the newspapers.
But, as the number of men who come back
home from abroad and are discharged from the
military and naval service increases, the head
line value of the problem will become constantly
greater The function of Colonel Arthur Woods,
former police commissioner of New York city,
and now assistant to the secretary of war, is to
act as clearing house and an agency of unifica-
ton for all the effort that is being made in the
United States today to obtain jobs for ex-service
men,
Getting jobs for soldiers ought to be almost
the easiest job the war department has ever
tackled because not only do the soldiers need the
Jobs but the jobs need the soldiers quite as much
The main point is getting jobs and soldiers
together If that could be done, the employment
problem for discharged service men could be
solved very quickly indeed.
To this end, hundreds of agencies all over the
United States, under the guidance of Col. Arthur
Woods, assistant to the secretary of war, are con
Quoting nationwide campaign. It's purpose is
to find where men are needed and where jobs are
needed, and to bring the two elements together
thus placing the 10000 or more men who are dis
charged daily from the service of the United
States into appropriate civilian employment with
the greatest possible speed and the least possible
friction.
