Soldiers and Their Old Jobs.

A service flag" is proposed, to be
displayed by employers who have held
the places of men who went into the
military service and have returned to
find their jobs waiting for them. It
is worthy suggestion. Such a flag
will be a badge of honor and should
elicit public approval wherever dis
played When the war broke and men
were called into the service most EN-.
ployers assured them that their posi-
tions should be held open for them
whenever they returned, whatever the
conditions. But some of the men find
these places now closed to them. 1t is
not known how many employers have
thus failed to keep their part Of the
bargain, or how many men are now
held out of employment on that ac-
count, but there must be many, If
the applications of discharged soldiers
for jobs are any indication.
In the emergency caused by the en-
listment of many civilians provision
had to be made for keeping business
running. Substitutes were found,
women and girls and boys and older
men, and for time It was hard to
get even them. Some, perhaps most
of them, made good in their work, and
it has been hard to let them 60 to
make room for the returned soldiers.
But every consideration of fairness
and patriotism demands that this be
done whenever the soldier wants his
old job back. He may not be quite
as good at his work as the one who
has taken his place. But he should
be given a chance, and even more thsn
a, chance. Something is owing to him.
Whether he went to France or not,
wherever he was stationed and in
whatever capacity he served, if he an
swered the call to duty he has claim
now on the work that he laid down
when he put on the uniform, and that
claim should be honored without ques-
ton or delay.

that the extra session, if held, will not
be convened until May, by which time
most of the legislatures now in session
will have adjourned. Many Of the leg
islatures work on time limit. Special
sessions for the consideration of the
suffrage amendment are not likely to
be called. If the amendment is not
submitted until next winter it could
not be ratified until the winter Of 1891,
or after the presidential election has
been held.
In these circumstances it is only fair
to the women of the country who are
advocating this measure to give them
a chance to secure federal enfranchise-
ment by the adoption Of the resolu-
ton at this session and the immediate
submission of the amendment to the
legislatures.

The Suffrage Amendment.

If the urgings of the state legisla-
lures are needed the Senate win at this
session adopt the joint resolution pro-
posing the woman suffrage amendment
to the Constitution. Seventeen of the
legislatures have thus expressed them
selves, and If the senators from those
states observe the requests conveyed
by representatives of their constitu-
ents they win vote for the adoption of
the resolution.
1t is well known that the vote in the
Senate as matters now stand is exceed
ingly close On the submission of the
federal amendment. Not quite two
thirds of the membership favored it on
the Hast roll call. Certain changes in
membership have occurred since, but
whether they affect the situation is not
definitely known. It is at all events
desirable that the question should be
put to vote before adjournment.
Nothing is to be lost by holding back.
II the resolution is defeated it may
be reintroduced at the next session. If
not acted upon it viii die with the
Congress.
Adoption of the resolution at this
session would permit the submission
of the resolution to the legislatures in
season for ratification so that if APP
proved it could be effective in the
presidential election of 1920. Post
ponement until the extra session, should
ono be held, would render this prac-

The Presidents Report.

more probably felt, on these points
) a. How soon after his return will the
, President report on his mission abroad
{2) And will the report take the form
Of an address to Congress, or to the
country directs (3) And what will be
the nature of the report!
Interest in the peace conference is
very great, and constantly growing.
It is all the greater and keener be-
cause of the very patent fact that
there is now more in hand at the con-
ference than the people of this coun-
try had any thought Of when the con-
ference opened.
When the President left home the
rpublic was but little informed about
: his mission. He had been very reti-
cent, and had allowed guessing to go
unehallenged. The guessing had been
based on what was showing on the
face Of things: That the business
must appear very important in his
eyes, or he would not have decided
upon step defying tradition, and
violation, as some thought, of his duty
here at home.
Something more is known today, and
enough to cause uneasiness. Rearrang-
ing the world is pretty large order.

prepared and where the Bolo were
finally stopped.
For l30 versts, or 80 miles, $50
men held of between 5000 and o,0oV
of the enemy. The suffering, though.
was intense, and the losses heavy,
but the outfit was saved from cap
ture or annihilation.
Heavy attacks were also launched
against Tulgas, on the Dvina front,
but the Americans and Scots had so
fortified the place that they were
able to repulse all attacks.
In March and April the Bolo
masscd his forces on the railroad
front and began what was to be his
master stroek. He planned to cap
ture Obozerskaya, the base. and cut
off the entire force. The last OF
March he captured Bolozerskaya,
Is versts west of Obozerskaya. and
cut the line Of communication to
Omega. The French garrison de-
Tending the town were either all
killed, wounded or captured. Then
he dragged up his guns on sleighs
and hurriedly brought up from 5000
to 5000 fresh troops. The allies
tried to dislodge him, but failed.
On March 81 he began a general
offensive. Company NJ, defending
Obozerskaya, administered crush
ing defeat to him at Bolozerskaya,
although he had cut the line of COM
munication back of the force and
captured some conveys, and had the
whole force cut off. Why he didn't
continue on and take Obozerskaya
will always be mystery, for there
was no one between him and the
town to stop him.
Company |, holding the point Of
the railroad front, kept him off
there, repulsing with heavy losses
every attack he made for four days
and nights, and the Russians, assist
ed by Americans, beat him at Vol
sinetza, q versts east of Obozers-
kaya.
After this series of defeats he
withdrew his forces into Bolozers-
kaya, and later, in the month OF
April, just as the snow was begin
ming to melt, he was forced to evac-
uate Bolozerskaya while the roads
were still passable.
At Pinega all attacks had been re-
pulsed and the Russians had been
organized and had taken over the
front.

they made assaults upon the posi-

time the Americans poured their
streams of lead into them and beat
them back. One platoon of Com
pany A was wiped out at this place.
When the Bolo saw they were not
going to be able to take Ust Pa
denga without sacrificing great
many more men, he proceeded to
slip around and occupy all of the
villages near Shenkursk and in the
rear of Ust Padenga. The Ameri-
cans did not have sufficient men to

the line was slowly drawn back to

did discover that the Americans had

quick pursuit, and within two hours
