RESTORING MEN
TO USEFULNESS
CONGRESS APPROPRIATES MIL
LIONS TO REFRAIN CRIPPLES
OF INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. q
In the interests of the common good
no congress ever assembled has
framed and passed a law so worthy
as the Cripples of Industry bill
which has passed both houses of the
present congress.
1t is estimated that fully 500 900
persons in the United States are
injured in the pursuits of industry
each year. More than 10 per cent
of that number require complete re-
training because OF the nature of
their disability, which does not per-
nit of their return to their old po-
sitions. In numerous cases these
dependents have become a charge
upon the community.
The law provides that half a mill
lion dollars will be available the
first year. The second year $780,
900 will be available, and the third
year the government will allow ST.
000,0 for the rehabilitation of the
handicapped men, women and chill
dren.
OF the money so appropriated the
government will give a dollar every
time the state gives one to ge-edu-
cate the disabled man. The state,
however, must enact laws based
upon the federal act if they desire
to receive the benefits of this
money. The states are to have their
own examining boards, such boards
to determine who is eligible to re-
education and training, the kind of
training necessary. and the institu
ton to which the handicapped per-
son will be sent. The federal bill
expressly provides that the state
treasurer must be designated as
the custodian of all state funds.
Each state will proceed i%ndepend-
emily under a plan agreed upon by
the state and the federal govern
ment.
1t has been the experience of the
federal board for vocational educa-
ton that the legislative bodies of
the various states have been quick
to meet the government in all acts

ABANANS STILL PLEAD WITH AMERICA

tinued appeals r being made by
the Albanians for the United States
to assume a mandate for Albania.
The Albanian has An amazing con-
fidence in America. Scarcely a
week goes by in which some local
Albanian society or group of patri-
OTIS does not present a petition adj
dressed to the Americans appealing
to President Wilson to intercede on
behalf of their country.
When the Associated Press cor
respondent was passing through a
small town south of here on horse
back he was stopped by the mayor
and local officials who presented to
him an appeal seeking the protec-
ton of the United States because
the Greeks were reported to have
taken possession of the city of 10
rita, in Southern Albania.
The Italian ~protectorate is in the
operation but most Albanians pro-
fess a distinct dislike for the 1tal-
ians, saying their desire is merely to
exploit the country and to retain a
strategic foothold in the Balkans.
Some of them say they Jared bet
ter and the country progressed more
under the Austrians. American OBJ
servers say the Italians have brought
great material and moral good to
the country and have stabilized
things in an effectual way.
The country is extremely primi-
tive and there are continual internal
disorders. Railroads or telegraphs
do no texist, many of the most or
binary conveniences of life are
wanting, sanitation is almost un-
known, schools and churches are
few in number, and altogether the
country seems extremely backward.
Except for the southern part which
is fairly fertile, it is a barren waste
of rocks and woodless hills and
mountains.

crops to support it's inhabitants. The

GRAFT THREATENS
TO RUIN S0v|ETs
RUSSIAN CONDITIONS DECLARED
TO BE WORSE THAN UNDER :
EMPEROR

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY, Nov. 6.-Sidelights
on the trend of events in soviet Rus
STA indicating that internal dissen-
sion in the Bolshevik ranks is sapp-
ing the power of the soviet leaders,
are contained in the report of a SOL
diers' and sailors conference, de-
tails of which recently reached Am
erican headquarters. The conference
was held in Petrograd in the sum-
mer and much dissatisfaction at con
ditions was displayed by the soldiers
who charged that officers enjoyed
special privileges and that affairs
generally were worse than they had
been under the rule Of the former
emperor.
Portions of the report read:
1.-THE convention of the support
ers of the Red guard and the
sailors, held in Petrograd, was at
tended by several thousand from the
army and the fleet. The minutes
show that the commanders and the
wal commissioners still take 1advan-
tage of their office, and although
members of the communist party,
are ever trying to eel special
privileges. The soldiers and sailors
were indignant because of the in
crease in pay of the commanders
and declared that conditions were
worse now than those that prevailed
under the regime of the emperor.
They demanded that the pay be
equal for all, whether the soldier be
a private or a general.
Complaints we're made against
the conditions of the barracks. be-
cause no repairs were made and the
funds appropriated for this purpose
went into the pockets of the high
officials. The condition of the hos
pitfalls is still more de%plorable. There
are no doctors or medicine and those
really sick or wounded have to
shift the best they can for them
selves. The worst problem of all
is to provide for the families of SOL
diers in the field. Nothing is done
for them and the money for them
also disappears in the pockets of the
official thieves"

population is upward Of two mil
lions, divided about evenly between
Christians and Mohammedans. Only
about 5 per cent of this number is
able to read or write.
The women do all the work. They
are veritable beasts of burden. In
deed they compete with the ponies
and donkeys as pack carriers, but
are not considered by the men as
valuable because they cannot bear
up under such heavy loads. In the
frequent sale of young women for
wives, the price paid often is not as
high as that given for a good horse.
This severe life among the women
shows itself in premature old age
and in many forms of serious physi-
cal disability. Fifteen per cent of
the mothers die in childbirth.
The men sit around coffee houses,
discussing politics, or attend to the
business of repelling by gun or
sword the frequent Serbian or Mon
t~enegrin invaders. The hostility to
the Serb and M~ontenegrin never
ceases. Feuds, pistol duels and ven
dettas are of daily occurrence. The
Albanian, once he believes himself
or relatives wronged, never rests
until complete and fierce vengeance
is secured. The American Red Cross
hospitals throughout the country
are constantly called upon to treat
the victims of these feuds and ven
dettas.
The Italians have a force of
about $4,000 troops in Albania. The
major part of these are in the vi
cinity of Valona. The rest are
used in police and garrison duty in
different parts of the country. Their
presence has tended to tranquilize
the country and keep down the trou-
blesome elements among the popu-
lation. There are recurring spread
ic clashes, however, between the AL
banians, Serbs and Montenegrins,
in which frequently the Italians are
forced to take part.

which have provided for the good of
the people of their communities in
the past. There is every reason to
believe that every state will hasten
to enact legislation which will per-
nit it to secure benefits under the
federal bill. The desire to reclaim
the disabled man has always re-
ceived attention at the hands of leg
islative bodies. A number of states
have already enacted laws modelled
on hat of the federal act, some Civ
ing three Or four dollars for every
dollar offered by the government to
carry on this great work.
Just as soon as this bill comes out
of conference it will be presented to
the president for his signature.
There is little doubt as t the atti-
tude of the president when the bilt
reaches him. Further action is
squarely up to the various states.

CHICAGO SALOONS ARE
PUT TO STRANGE USES
SOFT DRINKS BEING SERVED
IN THE NOTORIOUS
RESORTS"

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The problem
of placing the hundreds of Chicago
saloons on the "dry" basis is be-
ing solved in various and unique
ways.
The Rev. George Kilby, genera.
manager of the Chicago Christian
Industrial League, is trying n way
by turning "~saloonist" himself and
operating as a soft drink saloon a
bar that formerly figured in man,
newspaper stories as a notorious
resort" In addition to soft drinks
with which it is hoped to retain at
least a part of the former patronage
of the place, Mr.. Kilby is providing
club features to make it in fact the
'.poor mans club" with writing
tables and free stationery, a bill
lard table, books, magazines and
reading tables.
A hotel with 800 beds to be let at
from 10 cents to 25 cents each a
night is being operated in connec-
ton with the club. In the base
ment shower baths, wash bowls and
facilities for the patrons to do their
own laundry work are installed. A
restaurant in connection completes
the hotels equipment. Cold weather
is expected to augment greatly the
institutions patronage.
Another former saloon has been
converted into a clubhouse for chill
dren. The children call it the RED,
White and Blue Club" and at times
more than 100 children are reading
and playing where the former pa
trans of the saloon played cards and
discussed their stein.
The Red, White and Blues were
first organized as a part of the work
of the women's committee, council
of national defense and since then
the club has been financed through
the efforts of several women who

Some of the functions of the day
nursery are exercised by the club
which keeps tire children of en-
ployed mothers during the day.
Others of the little members" are
orphans.
Although the place lacks furnish
ings it has proven very popular with
the children of the n~eighborhood
and the women managing it plan
to raise $500 for heat and main
tenance through the winter months.
other Chicago saloons have been
converted into restaurants, cafe

parlors, coffee and chocolate houses,
but the majority still are running

and employees. having substituted a
great variety of non-alcoholic drinks
for the liquors formerly dispensed.
