AMERICANS ARE MAKING HISTORY
 IN SLAV ARENA

MECHANICALLY seven Ameri- can soldiers who recently received British decorations for gallantry in fighting the Bolsheviki along the Vologda railway front were highly praised in the official citations.
 Lieutenant G. B. Reese, of Mil ford, N. H., was awarded the Mili- tary Cross for having "reconnoitered enemy positions and brought back most useful information which was greatly instrumental in the success of the operations on Oct. IA" The citation adds that ''since joining the column Lieutenant Reese frequently had shown great daring loyalty, per tnacity, and devotion, and given a fine example to his troops"
 Sergeant H. G. Hayden, of Athens Ohio, received the Distinguished Conduct Medal for the operations on Oct IA His citation says that he reconnoitered the ground behind the enemy's rear positions of which the British commander had no previous knowledge. It adds that he always displayed great initiative, coolness, devotion, and courage, and was a fine example to all troops
 Private C. E. Garrett, of Kala- mazoo, Mich, received Military Medal. His citation says that "hav- ing no cover, and without thought of personal danger, he discharged his duties with coolness and per tinacity under exceptionally trying circumstances, setting an admirable example for all Private Garrett also carried R. w. Hickman, who was wounded, back to a place of safety under heavy shell fire, saving Hickman from the hands of the enemy"
 Private l.. l.. Hopkins, of Muir, Ky, was cited for the same reason as Garret except that he did not participate in saving Hickman.
 Corporal w. Shaughncssy, of De- troit; and Privates J. P. Wagone<k of Detroit; and G. Hinman, of Lin wood, Mich. each received the Mill tary Medal for having, the citation says, carried the telephone wires to our most forward position under heavy machine gun fire. It was entirely due to their devotion and courage that communication was es- tablished between our troops. Thrua: out they operations they displayed loyalty, coolness, and devotion.

THE BRITISH PROBLEM

The British government has com pleted it's basic plans for demobiliz- ation of the army and providing employment for the man whose sole business for four years has been war. It is calculated that 60 per cent of the men in the army will 20 back to their old jobs or have new ones awaiting them, but taking care of the remainder even though every ounce of man-pOwer will be needed immediately, presents d most difficult problem.
 It will be long tedious task, predicts and Associated Press cor respondent, writing from London, to transform millions of men from khaki to civil life and must be done by degrees. By the plan agreed upon these degrees have been fixed upon the needs of industry with certain consideration being given to married men or those who may otherwise be needed in the home.
 The government has record of what each man is best fitted for in civil life. The Ministry of Public Service which has efficiently com piled this data has, together with other official agencies, presented d list of necessary industries in the order of what is deemed their i'm portance. The first few are called ''key" trades, many of which pro duce materials needed for use in other trades. The idea is that it would be useless to release lot of structural steel workers ahead of the men who produce steel The trades list is complete but will not he announced because of contro- versies it might arouse.
 The fact that man has job awaiting him will not insure his early release. The government would like to be rid of that class but it cannot handle more than half the army at one time, hence rigid adherence to industrial needs. A with job to go to while his trench mate may be a railway brakeman without job The brakeman will be taken first and given an oppor- tunity to go to work.
 It is reasonable to suppose that railway workmcn, if not heading the "kcy" list, are very close to the top of it and also that miners are well up. It is vitally necessary to demobilization plans to have the railways in running order and the miners are needed to increase the fuel supply for industries and home comfort. And so on down the long list until practically every recog- nizcd trade is included.
 When man has been selected for discharge he will be sent to a collection camp, the most of which will be in France. He will then be sent to distributing camp in England, where he will receive his allowance for civilian clothing. He will be given montn's furlough which means that he will be on army pay while getting located in new v-o' k. From this stage the ministe.' Of labor assumes charge He VII have the aid ard co-opera- tion of c;,l employers. associations ard labor ua ,ns. Already long lists of } o1en to soldiers have be,n prepared.

JAPAN NOT CONCERNED
 IN LAND SETTLEMENT

TOKlO.-Japan's attitude at the peace conference. should be one of dlsinterestedness as far as territorial gain IS concerned, in the opinion of T. Inukia, the leader of the Koku- minto political party. The states man said the other day that Japan's actions hitherto have been liable to misunderstanding as possibly acu- ated by territorial ambition, and Japan should seize the first oppor- tunity to disabuse the world of any misapprehension.
 At the same time, MT. Inukai thought it desirable that the United States and other countries should freely open their doors for the ad- mission of aliens. thus bringing up again question which in the past has caused considerable negotiations between the United States and Japan. With the worlds tendency toward forming republics it would be necessary, he said. for the Jap anese to carefully ponder over the future of their own country. Japan could prohibit the import of foreign books, but she could not prevent the influx of foreign ideas, danger ous or otherwise.

Nation Wide Campaign by
American Express Com
panies Launched for
Better Service
Local Agent Logan Tells of
Plans Made for
Efficient
Service

Plans of most Comprehensive ma.
ture to bring about conditions which
will make possible marked improve
ment in the express service through
out the country have been announced
by Mr.. Logan, local representative
of the American Railway Express
Company. A Better Service CAM
paign" will be undertaken by the 1885,
600 men and women employed in the
express business, for the purpose of
raising the standards of packing,
wrapping and marking express ship
ments.
The drive will start on February
10. in every city and town in the
country. 1t will comprise campaign
of education and appeal among exc
press employees simultaneously with
a widespread effort to secure the CO.
operation of the shipping public
along the same lines. No new pack
ing or marking rules have been
adopted for the campaign, but ex-
press drivers and receiving clerks will
be instructed hereafter to insist,
firmly but courteously. that the rules
already in force be strictly adhered
to.
"We believe that there Is a remedy
for this evil in the fact that the loss
or damage to shipments can in many
cases attributed to the unsafe con-
dition in which it is turned over to
the express company to handle. Ex-
perience has shown that shipment
started right seldom goes wrong.
Starting right means simply that it
has been securely wrapped and pack
ed, that it can stand up for itself and
is plainly and properly Marked not
only with the name and address of
the consignee, but with those also of
the shipper. The use of poor quail
ity of paper or twine or inattention
to the condition of shipments turned
over to the express is something
which we are trying to discourage.
But nothing is more essential than
the Cooperation of shippers, and as
they are keenly concerned in the
matter, we are hopeful of getting
them to help u.s."

Sgt. Archibald Munro Re-
views Great War in

Message
Parish Chairman Names Chair
man for Communities in
Parish to Conduct
Campaign


On Wednesday evening, February
5, the people of Patterson were to
have had the pleasure of hearing a
lecture by Sergeant Archibald Mum
roe. late of the 3rd Toronto Regi-
ment Of the Canadian Army, on his
experiences in France and in the Ger
man prison-camps. But as no public
gatherings are allowed by the Board
Of Health, on account Of the preva-
lence of influenza, we were denied
that pleasure However, feeling sure
that the people Of Patterson were in
terested in this Canadian hero, your
editor obtained lengthy interview
with him and heard the recital OF his
experiences. Sergeant Munro's story
we herewith present to our readers.
Sergeant Archibald Munro was
born near Edinburgh, Scotland, In
1888, where his father engaged in coal
mining. When Archibald was eleven
years old, his father moved with his
family to the vicinity Of Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada, where Mr.. Munro
again engaged in coal-mining and
farming. Northwestern Canada has
often been termed "The Country Of
Strong Men," and indeed it has lived
up to its name.
At midnight, August 4, 1914, Great
Britain declared war on Germany, be-
cause Germany would not guarantee
the neutrality of Belgium. On Au-
gust S, King GeoSge sen, a message
to every part of his empire, calling
for volunteers. Canada's quota was
fixed at twenty thousand men. Thir-
ty thousand volunteered in two days,
among them, Archibald Munro and
his four brothers. The Munro family
was living on their farm outside of
Edmonton. At that time, nobody
knew that the war was to resolve it.
self into a struggle of the autocratic
form of government against the re-
publican form Of government. But
the Munro boys thought that it was
their duty to go when their King
called for them and they went, with
the thousands of other brave volun-
teers. Although Mrs. Munro hated to
see her five stalwart sons march out
to face the shot and shelf and the hor-
rors of war, she did not protest when
their country had called them. SUBJ
sequently, three of the Munro boys
were killed in France and the fourth
suffered the loss of one leg, from a
German shell.
A training camp was established l6
miles from Quebec, Canada. Here.
these boys who had volunteerer to
give their lives for their King and
country were trained intensely for
four weeks. At the end OF that time,
they sailed for England. The entire
thirty thousand went at once, on
