as the United States has, except In its
northern African colonies. All of
France is cultivated intensively, leav-
ing none for reclamation by demobil-
lied soldiers. And 1t is calculated
that few will want to leave their own
country for the purpose of colonial
ton.
G. H. Roberts, British minister of
labor, recently discussed this subject
before an audience Of British soldiers
at the British Army and Navy Leave
club in Paris.
The British minister said temporar-
lily unemployment difficulties of demo-
bilized soldiers would be met by q
free Out-of-work donation covering q
period of IL months after discharge.
This will be additional to the months
furlough given each man on his dis
charge, during which time pay and al.
lowances are to be continued.
The skilled workman among British
soldiers, Roberts said, is safeguarded
by the munitions Of war act, giving
him the assurance Of reinstatement In
employment. Committees, he said,
would establish employment agencies
In all cities and everything possible
would be done to make labor resettle
ment as speedy and smooth as posi-

FRANCE HAS MORE
WORKERS THAN JOBS

ty-f1ve commissions composed Of spe-
cialists in various lines have prepared
q solution. :.
Germany had its after-war program
definitely mapped out. First the men
who in civil life were engaged in such
occupations as technical, commercial
Industrial. financial and transport
were to be freed from army service.
Other kinds Of workmen were to be
demobilized successfully.
France must not lose a moment in
mapping out Its labor readjustment
plan. Otherwise there will be social
catastrophe"
Labor leaders In France point also
to the preparations in America for
distributing farming land to demobil-
lied soldiers. But they remark that
this method Of finding something for
the ex-soldier to do is closed to the
French.
France has no vast unoccupied lands

Paris.-Readtustment of labor after
rehabilitation looms as the biggest
after-the-war question In France.
A committee of members of the
French chamber Of deputies has off,
Cally asked the government what
steps toward labor reconstruction are
to be taken.
Appointment of a commission to
study the question has just been an
nounced.
Labor readjustment Is subject Of
greater importance in France than in
any other befligerent country-outside
Of Belgium, perhapS-because so many
factories and commercial enterprises
have been destroyed by the war.
When the soldiers are demobilized
a great number win not be able to
return to the work in which they were
engaged before the war. Their work
shops have been wiped out.
Many others who have been en-
Dloved on war work in munitions
plants will be thrown out of employ
ment. For such concerns will have to
shut down while they adapt them
selves, many of them slowly, to
peace-time line of manufacture.
Another class of men, who have
been away at the front four years,
VIII find no places open because they
have been replaced by other labor
women, in numerous cases.
The government faces the problems
OF having more men on it's hands than

Laredo, Tex-According to reliable

from various portions Of Mexico. the
present epidemic Of Spanish influenza
in that country has been the most fa-

the death rate exceeding that capsed
by any previous epidemic Of typhus,
yellow fever or smallpox. The under

influenza epidemic without practically
any supply of collins or caskets on

In Mexico City it is estimated that
at least 10000 cases Of influenza were
in that city the middle Of October,
many cases developing into pneumonia
and causing several thousand deaths,
these latter being mostly among the
poor people who contracted the disease
and were compelled to lie down on
the dirt floors Of their jackals and
there contracted pneumonia and died.

Federal food inspectors Of the Unit

are giving special attention to fac
tories where milk is condensed OF

| Condensed or evaporated milk Is q
most important article OF food even IN
peace times. It Is used by bakeries
and confectiOneries, and In feeding
babies and the sick, as we'll as being
used as q general substitute for fresn
milk wherever the raw milk cannot BE-

In time Of war, evapOrated MIR De-

where 1t Is impossible to obtain er

cent Of the output of many large fac
tories is being shipped overseas for
the use of the allied armies.
Inspectors examine the sanitary
condition Of factories where milk is
condensed or evapOrated, sterilized
and canned. Samples of the raw milk
as received at the factories are taken
for analysis by chemists end bac-
teriOlogiSts to see that it is clean and
wholesome and that It possesses the
proper proportion of butterfat and 9th

The contents of the cans are weighed
and compared with the amount stated
on the labels. The labels on the cans
are critically studied to see that there
Is no msbranding or false statements
made regarding the quantity, the quail
ity, or the strength Of the evaporated
milk.
Inspectors of the various states CO.
operate with the federal food inspec-
tors I'm this work. The federal food
and drugs act applies only to ship
ments of foods that enter Interstate
or foreign commerce. State inspectors
have Jurisdiction over products made
and sold wholly within the state.
The joint authority of the federal
and state inspectors often enables
them, working together, to correct
abuses which either working alone
could not reach. Adulterated or mis-
branded condensed milk. when shipped
into interstate or foreign commerce,
may be seized under the federal food
and drugs act, and the manufacturer
or other responsible party may be
prosecuted under the criminal sections
Of the law. The state food inspectors
have authority, under the law Of some
states, to require insanitary factories
to close until put into sanitary condi-
ton.
Evaporated or condensed milk, as
defined for the guidance Of the officials
in enforcing the food and drugs act,
must be made from whole, fresh, clean
milk, and contain not less than 25.5
per cent Of total solids, and not less
than 7.9 per cent Of milk fat.

4 MONTHS SENTENCE
 IS GIVEN THIEVES
Miller and Kerrigan Will Have to Serve Time For
 Robbery.

A jail sentence of four months was imposed on Edward Miller and Jo- seph kerrigan by Judge James T.. M eskill at the police court session this morning, who were found guilty of theft of $40 from Louis Lucas of Mill street early this morning.
 It is alleged that Miller and Kerri- gan, who lived in the laborers rooms at Towers brick yards, stole two. twen- ty dollar bills from Lucas while he slept. Lucas upon waking and find- ing his money missing, created scene in the rooms and entered a omplant at police headquarters at 3 o'clock this morning. Officers Stroll and He'll berg were sent to the yard and found the men eating midnight lunch. Both men were searched and the money which was taken from Lucas was found on their person.
 Kerrigan has no record in head quarters, while Miller was recently put on probation, and if he does not pay up what is due with the probation officer he may have to serve over six months.
 Gustave Saladin, who was arrested near the Hotel Bronson late last evening by Officer Stadler on the charge of breach of peace and drunk enness, was discharged by Judge Mes kill, owing to his previous good rec ord. Saladin was charged with talk ing Socialism to a number of his friends near the Boys club on East Main street. In his plea he stated that he was only talking of the close rela- tions between this country and Switz- erland. Prosecutor Klett asked him if he was discussing the possibilities of a large Swiss navy. Saladin stated that he was slightly drunk and added that he had some job finding something to drink.
 Mrs. Lillian Brown, who was arrest ed by Detective Sergeant Theodore Johnson yesterday afternoon was sent to the town home until next spring by Judge Meskill this morning. Mrs. Brown pleaded guilty to drunkenness. She was given a warning that if she left the home before her time was up she would be sent to the state farm at Norwich

MISTAKEN IDENTITY
 DECORATES BUILDING
SoVereigns Building is Decorated, But Order Was Originally Placed
 For the Next Building

One amusing story which has come to light in connection with the cele- bration has to do with the decorating of the Sovereigns block by local firm of decorators, and thereby arises the question of whether the decora- tor is "out" and the Sovereigns block
 in, or not.
 The decorator, having received an order, sent some of. his employees. with large number of flags and much bunting, down to decorate the Chamber of Commerce building"
 Several hours later the proprietor wandered down Main street and was surprised to find his men putting the last piece of bunting on the top of the Sovereigns building. The decora- tors had forgotten that the Chamber of Commerce had moved, several months ago, from the Sovereiens building to the one next door.
