BREST CAMP 0. K.
SAYS GEN. MARCH

Charges that American soldiers
were not being properly cared for at
Brest, principal embarkation port for
returning soldiers, are denied en-
phaticaIly by Chief of Staff March.
Casualties and sickness of all the
American forces in France, which are
cabled from Brest are being confused
with the health conditions there, he
declares.
The sick report of the men actu-
ally at Brest is excellent" General
March said. The charge that the
War Department is trying to put
$4,000 men in the Brest camp, when
it has room for only 1000 is pre-
posterous. There are now in the
camp $4,000. and we are going to
make it a camp of more than 100, 900.
1t is fast being made the largest
camp in the world"
After declaring that rehabilitation
of troops in the United States is ION
the home stretch" General March
said the machinery was ready over
here to discharge foreign service
men faster than General Pershing
could send them over. -

PLEA FOR CREDIT
.TOBUILDING TRADES

Appealing for \ resumption Of
building activities Throughout the
country. the Treasury Department
last night declared valid reasons no
longer exist for the Withholding OF
credit for construction work. Blame
for the inactivity in construction
lines was traced In an official state
ment to high costs OF material.
"The impression seems to exist that
policies initiated during the war BY
Secretary McAdoo ana BY the Federal
Reserve Board for the conservation
OF credit are still fully effective and
responsible for inactivity in the
building trades" the statment says
The activities Of the country have
undergone a great change since the
signing Of the armistice. Many In
dustries. which were engaged in the
production OF war material and for
which credits were essential. are now
directing their energies to other lines
more nearly related 20 normal ac-
tivitles Of peace. Consequently. many
OF the policies adopted during the
war are now out Of date.
The departments impression Is
that inactivity in the building trades
Is directly traceable to iusufficioncy
OF credit and abnormaIly high costs
The building trades OF the country
responded promptly 20 the previous
policies and co-operated In q patriotic
way with the Government in It's pro-
gram for the conservation Of credit
during the war. Now, apparently
there is no valid reason why suf-
ficient credit should not be made
available for useful building opera
tons"

NAVY SEEKS TO ENLIST
DISCHARGED SOLDIERS

A call for discharged soldiers to en-

Information desired at the local re-

PROBLEM
KEEPS MEN, J0BLESS

Thousands Of men, many OF them re-
turned soldiers, are being kept from
needed Jobs which the Railroad Ad-
ministration can give them because
of the failure OF Congress to act on
the railroad problem.
That is the essence of a statement
by Director General Of Railroads
Walker D. Hines. Mr.. Hines was
speaking to a group of Chicago bust
ness men and aldermen, headed by
Louis T. Jamme, vice president Of
the Association of Commerce, who
came here to urge certain railroad
construction work in Chicago both as
a means of supplying jobs to unen-
ployed men, including hundreds Of
demobillzed soldiers, and at the same
time effecting needed improvements
on the roads. which had been post
poned because Of the war.
Il don't think there is anything in
this country of greater Importance at
this time than to resume the improve
ment work that was necessarily held
up by the war" said Mr.. Hines. mot
only do the public need the improve
ments, but it is of the highest i'm
pOrtance to give labor the employ
ment right now. The Railroad Ad-
ministration will do everything. in its
power to cooperate in promoting that
policy.
"It is not only in the interest of the
general welfare to furnish this en-
ployment for labor and to see that
the public gets the benefit OF the i'm
provements, but the Railroad Ad-
ministration has the selfish interest
that il wants to see business stimu-
lated so there win be more business
for the railroads to carry.
when il comes, however, to what
the Railroad Administration can do,
il is confronted with uncertainty.
There is a very insistent demand on
the part OF many railroad representa-
tives and business representatives
that Congress at once adopt some leg
islation about the railroads and turn
them back as promptly as possible to
private control, and that there ought
not to be any extension OF public con-
troll. If it turns out that that policy
is adopted the situation will be that
anything the Railroad Administration
plans now for the Government could
not be carried out, because If these
demands are realized there will be a
change. Of management before the
pIaQs could be carried out. That Gre
ates a situation Of uncertainty that is
a tremendous obstacle to the Railroad
Administration at once doing anything
comprehensive on. its own RESPONSE
bility. .- ... ..- ----
what we can do and will do even
in the face of that uncertain situation
is to use whatever moral sUasion we
have to get the railroad corporations
to consent to going ahead with these
improvements and TO financing the
improvements. and whatever they can
finance we viii welcome and we will
be glad to go ahead with the work,
but in the face OF this uncertainty
with the claim made that the railroads
ought 10 be turned back very shortly
to private control, the Government
isn't m position to enter upon an ex-
tensive program Of financing itself"

IN NEW KINGDOM

Croats and Slovenes, in the new
Jugo-SIav kingdom, threaten TO rise
gatnst the Serbians, according to dip
Dmatic advices today from Paris.
The kingdom was recognized by the
United States on Friday.
Attempts of the Serbs to centraltEe
South Slay power at Belgrade and dis
satisfaction Of the Croatians and SLOW

georgavic dynasty is declared to be
at the bottom Of the trouble.

STATIONS have been staged at Varsd
and Bolivar, IL Is stated. Diplomats
suggested today that the brevity of
Prince Regent AlsxanEeris incognito
visit TO Paris last week might have
been due to fear of coup d'etat dur
ing his absence from Belgrade.
Diplomats have seen the possibility
OF an early rupture between the op-
posing nationalities Of the Jugo-Slav
kingdom, but an open break was hard
ly expected as long as the Slays found
iE necessary TO offer a strong front at
the peace table against the Italian
claims in Dalmatia-
