GOVERNMENT AGENT
POSTPONES VISIT HERE

Mr. w. L. Owen, Red Cross home
service secretary, received a telegram
Saturday afternoon, stating that Mr..
E. G. BurghauseT, special agent Of
the federal board of vocational train
ing, who was TO have beer here On
Monday, July 7, had been compelled
70 postpone his visit until a later
date. This message arrived too late
to give those interested notice, bat
those who came on Monday were as
sisted in filling out blanks for COM
pensation by Mr.. Owen, and an ex-
PLANTATION made of the governments
plan for furnishing a free education
to disabled soldiers.
One of the callers had been a farm
er before going to France, where he
was wounded in action; and upon re-
turning he found himself unable to
carry on with his former work. He
desires to study electrical engineer
ing, and it is probable that he will
soon be sent to such a school, where
he can learn that trade at the ex-
pense of the government. Another
boy had suffered from a severe at
tack of pneumonia, which later had
affected his lungs. The government
plans to send him to one of its large
hospitals in the west, which are es-
pecially prepared for the treatment
of tuberculosis.
These were only typical cases.
There were number Of others who
were also found entitled to compen-
sation and also to vocational train
ing if they desire to accept the same.
The government will send Mr..
Purchaser or some other represent
alive here later, and due announce
ment will be given Of his coming, in
order that all interested may see
him.

ly, the Democrats, who only few
months ago had the scepter of power
in Congress swept from their hands,
find in this disintegration Of Repub-
lican control in the House and Senate
justification for revising their hopes
and expectations as to the 1920 pres
idential campaign.
It is more manifest as the days
come and go that the Republicans are
greatly divided on what use to make
of their victory in the last November
elections Their chief handicap is the
action that old party methods are APP
propriating to the new order of
things. Realizing that there is a vast
deal to do, they have thus far been
unable to coordinate their party
strength and resources to the execu-
ton Of a formulated program Of CO.
operative action.
For once, at least, the Republican
party, with its plethora Of "braihs for
big business" is about to stall in the
presence Of the stupendous problems
bequeathed to the nation as war leg
acies. The Democrats are tempted
to make the Republican yoke Of leg
islative responsibilities more CALLING
by remindina them that the great
war was won under the very Demo-
cratic administration the leaders Of
their party are striving so diligently
to discredit in its efforts to make
another such war impossible.

told throng of many thousand
Washington citizens who greeted him
at the Union Sation that he came
home confident that the people Of
the United States were for the league
of nations" The welcome he receiv-
ed here, he said, was particularly
pleasing because it was Immediate

on American soil since the peace
treaty was signed, declared that the
peace concluded at Paris was "a. just
peace, which, if it can be preserved,
will safeguard the world from un-
necessary bloodshed."
; The only reference the president
made to his political opponents was
when, in referring to the negotiations
at Paris, he said: II am afraid some
people, some persons. do not under
stand that vision. They do not see it.
They have looked too much upon the
ground. They have thought too much
Of the interests that were near them
and they have not listened to the
voices of their neighbors. | have
never had a moments doubt as to
where the heart and purpose of this
people lay"
The president arrived at the Hobo
ken army pier, formerly the dock of
