JOBS FOR MANY SOLDIERS
Positions Have Been Obtained for
70 Per Cent of Returned YanE<s
Says Colonel WcsHs.N*

New York, June 3O.-Seventy per
cent of the soldiers discharged since
the armistice have positions awaiting
them, Col. Arthur Woods assistant to
the secretary of war, who is in charge
of obtaining employment for dis
charged service men, announced.
Enlisted men are being discharged
at the rate of from 10000 to 10000
week." Colonel Wood said, "and only
a comparatively small percentage are
unable either to return to their old
positions or to obtain new positions
through the various agencies. The
principal centers of unemployment at
the present time are New York, Chi
cago, Pittsburgh, st. Louis and Bos-
ton. Colonel Wood again emphasized
the fact that one of the difficulties is
the unusual demand among discharged
service men for clerical labor and the
reluctance Of the average man to per.
form farm labor.

Reconstruction Record.

What is said to be the record for re-
suscitation from drowning was accom-
plished by United States life-savers
after the victim had been submerged
for six minutes. Among a great many
persons the erroneous belief exists that
persons can be resuscitated after hav-
ing been in the water a great length
of time. Cases have been known where
resuscitation methods were used for
hours after the drowned persons had
been under water for a half-hour, or
even longer. Thus it will be seen that
drowning is a quick death and the
hazard of the water correspondingly
great.
