ed States, in formulating it's plans for
mobilization, was fortunate enough to
nave protited by some of the costly ex-
perienees of Others, and by system.
attic classification prevented men from
being sent to the trenches who later
had to be withdrawn and returned to
industries essential to the prosecution
of the war. In carrying out it's sys.
tematic draft system, the tendency was
to retain In the Industrial world the
pivotal or key men, the return of whom
to their normal activities in the indus.
trial world appears to be one of the
outstanding principles in the British
rehabilitation system. The war de.
partment has consistently declined to
discharge our selected service men by
classes, the needs of industry having
been recognized in the selective serv-
ice law.
In many families distress exists.
Certain men are indispensable to In
dustry. To enable such men to be re-
leased, the war department has issued
a circular to all commanders covering
their cases.
The secretary of war has also rec
commended to congress that a man be
paid an additional months pay and
allowance on discharge in order to
tide him over the interim between his
discharge and the date he obtains en-
ployment; and congress has now
passed bill authorizing a $50 bonus
to be paid on discharge to each officer
and man who is hOnorably separated
from the service
Some Dissatisfaction.
Some dissatisfaction has arisen be-
cause families find it difficult to i'm
mediately see their sons and relatives
on their arrival at the port of debarka-
ton. This is due to the fact that pub
lie health demands that these men be
segregated until they can be disinfect-
ed, in order to prevent the spread of
diseases, such as typhus, trench fever
and influenza, in the country. Also
practical conditions connected with the
handling and discharge of large bodies
of men demand that they be sent after
their disinfection direct to their demo-
bilization points.
This all seems hard and being a
difficult practical problem, is of ne
cessity entirely devoid of sentiment,
which is, however, continually impel-
ling those intrusted with the carrying
out of these measures to devise some
way of showing the soldier the esteem
in which he is held by the country, and
of satisfying the just pride which his
family possesses in his exploits.
There is a general belief that the
emergency has passed. that the war
is over, and that there is no reason
for keeping troops in France. The
war is not over until treaty of peace
ends it.
The emergency cannot be consid-
cred over until the last of our troops
arrive from France. What could we
say to these men and their families if
we demobilized all troops in this coun-
try and were powerless to care for and
return to their home districts the men
returning from overseas?
Troops must be kept in France for
such army of occupation as may be
decreed by the treaty of peace, and
for every division held there to clinch
the fruits of victory must be kept a
certain proportion of men for their
supply, to provide measures for their
comfort and for their final embarka-
ton.

she has one mission in life after the
discovery, and that is to destroy them
all. and if she doesn't get them today
she will tomorrow or the next day,
