MEN REGISTER AT U. s. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE, WOMAN'S DIVISION,
 AT Y. W. c. \

A gardner who was out of a job, a { coachman and a butler-aI of them men, have filed their names with the I Women's Division of the U. S. Elm ployment Service, U. s. Department of Labor, which Is maintained at the i Germantown, Pa, Y. w. c. A, 582O i Germantown avenue.
 4 Miss Josephine O. Motheral, who is in charge of the division at Ger mantown, had not anticipated hand 1ing male applicants. But she listed ltheir names and is making every eff ffort to place the workers. These ap- tpeals from men who need work are the result of the recent contraction of the United States Employment Service which was necessitated by the failure of Congress to meet the needs with legislation.
 The mere existence of the German town Division is due to the generosity of the War Work Council of the Ma tional Young Women's Christian as sociation, which appropriated $6,OO0 for a temporary continuance of the Womefl's Division of the U. S. Elm ploynent Service. The central head quarters which were formerly at 18th and Arch streets, are now installed at 25S South Twelfth street, where the stan VIII De InalnLdlueu iOT three months.

JOHN JONES IS TAKING COMMONS
 BY SURPRISE

London, April 2S-Every parlia- ment produces a new character. The American Congress had it's 'Sockless'' Jerry Simpson from Kansas, and the House Of Commons had Kier Hardie. who appeared on the floor in a work ingman's cap and with a working mans freedom of speech in the era when the silk hat and frock coat were still almost a uniform for that assem- ply, and when the heavy GIadstonian manner was it's model for debate. John Jones' the new labor member from Silvertown, is the Jerry Sinp- son and the Kier Hardie of the new House of Commons.
 The proof of this is that his speeches are punctuated with shocked cries of ''Order!" from the old timers, and the reason for the cries is that he talks to the House of Commons just as he used to talk when he was ad- dressing out of door audiences from a soap box at Tower Hill, which is the forum for informal workmen's de- bates.
 Don't you try to assume so much, Guy nor!" was his first remark to the Speaker. Speaker Lowthar sitting under a canopy arrayed in his wig and gown is a parsonage certainly no less portentous than the Chief Jus tice of the United States of America, and the House had a shock equal to what the Supreme Court would have suffered under similar Iese majeste.
 John Jones got even with the House last night.
 T want you gentlemen to know he remarked, while discussing con o1 ia the halowed term for referring to members of the House). There were loud calls for "Order!' MT. Jones replied:
 'I beg your pardon if I have made a mistake by calling you gentlemen The House saw the joke and cheer ed him.

HELMETS REVEAL GREAT DREAM
 OF EX-KAISER
Gorgeous Headgear Reflects Plans for TriumphaI Entry
 Into Paris or "Der Tag"
SEIZED BY AMERICAN BOYS
 IN CoBLENZ WAREHOUSE
Supply of &, ,oco to Be Used In New
 Works Victory Way.

Twelve hundred polished nickel, gunmetaI and patent leather helmets, with gorgeous trappings that eclipse the splendor of the headgear of the proudest of Roman centurions, have been pyramided in Victory Way, New York city, into a monument to the mill lions of Americans who shattered a mad monarch's dream of the greatest triumphal entry ever conceived in mill ttary history
 These helmets are part of a supply of 85,O0O seized by the American Army of Occupation in Coblenz in Decem- Der, 1918. A large warehouse, guard ed by a German officer, housed the precious headgear that was to adorn the heads of the German Uhlans and fnfantrymen when the armed legiOns of the Kaiser cantered down the Champs Elysees. The scorn of the Parisian was to be tempered by amazement when Der Tag" arrived. The world was to stand aghast before the impressive spectacle.
 Of all the gorgeous features of New ] " avenue plaza between Forty-ffth and Fiftieth streets the pyramids of hel nets, with their more than ordinary significance, constitute one of the most interesting
 Back in 1916 Kaiser Wilhelm and his generals, intoxicated with repeat ed successes of arms, placed an order with large German firm for the man ufacture of the helmets. No grimy unkempt German army would parade the streets of Paris. Eighty-fve thou sand picked soldiers, attired witt scrupulous care, gIeaming and glitter ing with military contraptions, would prove the folly of the French in op posing the will of the German Wal god.
 The Coblenz warehouse was select ed to protect the helmets until the eventful day arrived. But months rar into years. Still the headpieces wer, kept oiled and shiny, each wrapped carefully in paper. Thus they were | found when the Americans took ove Coblenz.
 It has been said France fought tht war for her existence, England fol | sport and America for souvenirs 1 And the Yankee penchant for souve mfrs soon asserted itself. Some thou i sands of the helmets were distributed 1 to the doughboys before an order cam 1 from general headquarters that tn, ] helmets were to be saved for trans portation to the United States. They have been distributed for exhibition | in the Victory Liberty Loan drive. New York citys Victory Way f studded with innovations that astount 1 the visitor. The two-pyramids of hel nets will be on display throughou the Victory Liberty Loan Campaign.

 A few days ago an inspector com plained when men in the Recreation Hall did not rise and salute as he en- tered. Major Schneider explained that the men were not required to do so.
 That's part of their recreation" /" he said. This is their home, off duty" The inspector took it up with the general, and the result was in favor of the boys.
 Clean recreation has beaten the German open saloons in Neuwied, and in adition to that the ice cream, pie and cake factory, now producing 100 gallons of cream and 300 cakes of various kinds each day, soon will double it's present output.

 MOVEMENT WILL
 BURN OUT

London, April 28-'The present cOnfagration in Russia cannot last. Without fuel, in the form of food and supplies generally, Bolshevism must burn itself out"
 Such is the opinion of an English man who left Moscow February and has just reached London.
 T find in this country" he said, "a general impression that the BoIshevik leaders are nothing but violent crim- inals and robbers. But they have other qualifications aas well, such as organizing ability, ruthless decision and the power to rule.
 Public opinion as to the advan- taSes of Bolshevism is widely diver gent. Those who have secured through the revolution a comfortab ble sinecure, with 6 monthly salary of perhaps 1,5O0 rubIeS in one of the in numerable governmental departments which exist in every town are not anxious to upset the present order of things. On the other hand, specula- tors and peasants who, through the
 misfortunes of the aristocratic and bourgeois classes, have lined their pockets, are now rather inclined to clamor for more stable and consti- ! tutional form of government which would enable them to keep what they have unjustly gained.
 As a whole, however, the people are apathetic, and though many of them will confide to you that they dislike BoIshevism and desire its downfall, yet I doubt very much if
 they would be ready to give personal | assistance to any such movement. Lack of food is the greatest dan ger the Bolsheviki have to face. Bread and other commodities are be- i coming scarcer every day.
 'Rabid socialism is the order, and everything is communicated and sold
 on a voucher system through a few shops managed by the Workers and Red Army committees"
 ! The Britisher brought the first
 news to London of the fact that about forty British naval and military pris- | oners of war, captured on the North | Russian front, were now in captivity l in Moscow. The officers are confined
 in small cells, but the men, he said, are permitted to move freely about | the city and may even visit British
 residents. They are provided with | better food than other prisoners and with warm clothing. Evidently, the 1 Bolsheviki in the opinion of this Eng
 lishman, are trying by means of pre-

HOUSING PROBLEM IN
GERMANY VITAL one
People Of Berlin Seeking Re-
lief From Excessive Rents
Now Asked.
By Carl D. Great
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent


Berlin, (By Nall Berlin is faeiag a
serious housing problem. There are in.
sufficient houses and rents are vastly
high. Out Of this situation is develop
ing a demand that the municipality do
something to alleviate conditions, par
tieularly the conditions Of the poor. Re-
Gently the question became so grave
that there were threats among the popu-
lace to go a rent strike-that Is, TO re-
fuse to pay rent.
While this proposed refusal arose in
part from the communistie spirit Of tho
times. it was in part the expression Of
long continued dissatisfaction with
quarters and with prices In some or
the outlying districts, people live in
barracks, and they have long sinee tired
of this mode of existence.
As for even the wellto-do, the hous-
ing situation is difficult. Just as in
the American national capital during
the war, people advertised frentieally
for apartments or houses and offered
fancy premiums so are Germans here ad.
vertising constantly, with the bait of a
large reward for desirable places.
While up to this writing the rent
strike proposal has been merely sporadic
threats, the question of housing has
come up quite strongly of late for gov
ernmeut consideration. And, one of the
answers given in the course of testi-
niony on the subject was that the Illicit
trade in lumber and building material
just as with the "Schleiehhandel" in
food-had made prices Of building
stuffs soar out Of reach OF ordinary con
tractors.
In line with development of socialis-
tic proposals here, many persons would
like the government TO go into the hous-
ing business on large scale but this
has not so far come to any material
plan.

Bryan's First Oregon
Speech Is Recalled

Dee, July 6.-(To the Editor Of The
Journal. The writer, always having an
interest in Oregon and Oregon state
fair history, wishes to make correction
Of fact recently appearing in The Jour
ma relative to w. J. Bryan's first
speech in Oregon. The item stated that
it was at Lebanon in 1897. The fact
that Mr.. Bryan has become a national
character makes this matter Of the more
Importance to- 0regonians. Iii 1894 or
1861 am uncertain Of the year, but
think it was 1S9j-the board Of diree-
tors Of the Oregon state fair voted to

party had at that time taken . position
against silver. ] remember that JET.

president, and United States Senator

known as the editor Of the Weekly
World.Herald Omaha, Ncb.-was the
one agreed upon to speak in favor of
free coinage. Free coinage Of silver was
popular in Oregon and was not a party
question. Such leading republicans as

Owing to the increased attendance upon

popular orator, and he was prevailed up

expenses. 1t was at the state fair that

on the floor, where it was found the next day, much the worse for wear.
 Anyway, Miss Willard took her grievance to the Prohibition party. The Prohibition party offered the nomination for president to St. John, with William Daniel of Maryland for vice president. St. John accepted the nomination. He was an effective speaker and campaigner and he went out after blood-and especially Re publican blood. He carried the war into New York, considered doubt ful' state in the exciting struggle of that campaign between James c, Blaine and Grover Cleveland.
 St. John jumped the Prohibition vote from 10366 votes to 150,626 votes. What is more, he boiled enough votes in New York to defeat the "Plumed Knight" in that state and, as if turned out, in the nation. The feel ing of the time Is indicated by the fact that St.. John was burned ir effigy in more than 100 cities.
