U.S.. Wants to Help

New York. July lo.--The fact that
thousands OF soldiers, crippled by
the war, do not fully understand
their rights, particularly that involv-
ing re-education at government ex-
pense in callings suitable to their
disability, has induced Col. Arthur
Woods, assistant to the secretary Of
war, to describe some of the things
the government is doing to enable
men disabled in the line Of duty to
re-establish themselves is civil lite.
All disabled service men are en-
titled to assistance, no matter where
they were injured, and a postcard

and he hadn't noticed the table
much. He noticed it now, though.
1t was full of little plaster images
of saints and II q was vase Of
artificial roses OH it and a vase of
some dried grasses and a picture of
little girl.
By the picture lay some thing
that made the orderly start and rub
his eyes. 1t was a "springling"-a
St. Nicholas day cake-a Christmas
present. The old man had put it
there for him. Well, that was pretty
white for an old boche. .
Violated Family Altar.
The cake was shaped on the
rough, general lines of rooster

keep the rest and take it home. That

cake left by old Santa Claus him.
self in his own country. which had
just been licked by the Rainbow
division, ct al. So he put it in his
pocket, dressed hurriedly, dashed
downstairs to breakfast in the old
Germans kitchen, where he and
some other orderles had arranged
for mess in Welschpillig and went
about the work of getting himself
and his captain ready to move on to
Speicher.
1t was about 9 o'clock in the
morning and he was half way there,
riding on a baggage truck, when a
startling thought occurred to him.
He had felt the cake in his pocket
and his mind had gone back over
the train of events that led to the
origin of it. He recalled the little
table, and everything about it stood
out sharply in his memory. In
memory it had a strange look that
he hadn't noticed in the hurry of the
morning There was something
sacred about it. Those plaster
images-one of them was of the
Saviour, he remembered now, and
there had been a crucihx, too, and
they had all been arranged in some
order.
And that picture; the cake had
been lying right in front of it. 1t
was a picture of a little girl dressed
all in white, with a wreath around
her hair. Her first communion
dress, probably. She was probably
the old mans little girl.
Just there, apparently, this star
Ting thought hit him between the
eyes. Why, that table was family
altar, of course. That cake hadn't
been put there for him, the old man
hadn't even known he was going to
stay in the room.- He had put the
cake there for his little girl The
little girl had died. They probably
put that cake there every year on
St. Nicholas eve.

Now, this Kansas boy was like
every other soldier in the American
army Nof occupation. He had been
iii the hardest fights in the war. He
hadn't been an orderly very long,
he had been fighting, hard-boiled,
rough-neck doughboy, who knew
the German as an enemy, for he
had seen the German trying to kill
him and actually killing some oi
his buddies. Like every other
American soldier, he had ap-
preached the German border with
some hauteur and contempt, ready
at the flicker Of an eyelash to slug
to his knees the first German who
tried to get gay. And, like every
other American, he had been pattins

The strength of the Rainbow di-

The dope seemed to be that we
would be on the Rhine by Decem-
Der II. The division started into
Germany on December Q. Looking
ahead, the Rainbow's quartermaster
Col. George F. Graham, of Texas,
must have figured that he would
have to use 10000 gallons of gaso-
line on the trip at the lowest esti-
mate. To carry $4,000 gallons OF
gasoline for IS days would be as
impracticable and unwise as to car

servation dictated adherence to a

would make a fine fashlight, for the

bourg children, wondering whether
the nice leather case wasn't full of
that precious thing, chocolate, had
opened it, pulled out the plates and
exposed every one to the light.
But coming into Germany he had
got some good stuff. Spinning along
in his Ford truck, he sat on the front
seat and the sergeant hung his legs
over the tailgate, and between them
both they licked the German seem
ery-platter clean. One morning they
caught a group of Germans working
around two dead horses. They had
just skinned the horses and the pho
tographer had "shot" the whole
scene-one German rolling up the
skins and putting them in a wheel
barrow; two Others cutting steaks
and piling them into another wheel
barrow, and the rest looking on hun

Leather would come from the
skins sprobably, and the steaks would
trot their last heat from the frying
pan to several German dining room
tables.

GOOD HOPE MINE IS
 TO BE SOLD FOR THE
 TAXES THAT ARE DUE

RIVERSIDE, Cal, June 2O.-The Good Hope mine, on the Perris-Elsi. lore highway in Riverside county, famous in other days as producer 1f gold, which once sold for $500, ,000, IS to be sold for taxes.
 The county board of supervisors llready has received two bids-S5O from Judge c. P. Carter, of Elsinore, and $250 from Hook Brothers, of Ferris, who have lien on the property.
 As the taxes delinquent amount to s2,000, both offers were rejected and plans were made to advertise the mine for sale at a later date.
 In 1900 the mine was sold for taxes to the state. the assessment indicat- ing an official valuation at the time of $40,0O0. About ten years ago. a company was organized to re- open and operate the property, but it's was unsuccessful.
 In recent years, the mine has been used frequently by motion picture companies seeking a location" for movies" of the early days in Cali fornia.

MORRISON, SPOKESMAN
 FOR LABOR, LAYS BOMB
 OUTRAGE TO ALIEN LAW

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 19-- Secretary Morrison of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement on the bomb outrages, declared the country was reaping the result of it's immigration policy.
 The attempted destruction of life and property should cause calm re hection, rather than hysteria, on the part of every American,' he said. "l can understand why the Nihilist of Russia used bombs but this method can have no place in American insti- tutions. And when it is used it is our patriotic duty to inquire why.
 For years the trades-uni0n move mene has urged the restriction of i'm migration. but the workers were op- posed by steamship companies, the Steel Trust and other employers of labor, who stimulated immigration at the rate of 100000 persons a year.
 Many of these immigrants were hearded in large cities or other in. dustrial centers They were encour- aged to use their own language and to perpetuate traditions of their mother country.
 What can Americanism mean to those people? They do not even un- derstand our language. To them Americanism means a pettyI boss and low wages. They know, nothing of our theory of government. This country is now reaping the result of its immigration policy-or lack of policy-during all these years"

LABOR SECRETARY SAYS UP TO BUSINESS MEN
 TO SOLVE QUESTION

NEW YORK, June 19.-Secretary of Labor Wilson says in the New York Tribune that if every Ameri- can business man were imbued with the idea of prosperity and would en- large his establishment to the pre- war basis all unemployment prob lens would be solved. Later there will be labor shortage, he figures. Before the war immigrants used in the industrial life annually numbered 1,200,0 ,000, of whom 100000 returned home; leaving a net gain of S0O,0OO. Thus in four years we are short from this source 3,200.000. Secretary Wilson predicts that only four to six months will elapse before the country emerges from reconstruction period into post-bellum swing.
