was peculiarly designed to add to the
enemy's suspicion of the approaching
trouble-an imperative demand for 2UG
copies more additional of the Contains
sheet, "plan directeur map" This
could only be interpreted by the Ger
mans, the Americans agreed, as prepa
ration for a coming drive on the Briey
iron center.
In addition to the wireless the ''X
army" also had in operation, on the
front between BeZonaux and Fresnes,
a telephone Squad-a careless squad
which set up telephone stations here
and there and sent messages and
talked shop and gOssiped all night
about the arrival of some old friends
from America with such and such an
outfit.
The ak" army telephone squad took
no chances that the Germans might
not hear the conversations the Amer
leans desired them to record. They
deliberately grounded their wires, so
the enemy could 'listen in" and
crawled out into No Mans Land in
the darkness and hooked one of the
American wires on a German barbed
wire in front of an abandoned trench
system. In the front line of modern
warfare the telephone is a most dan
gerous instrument, for both sides de-
vised apparatus which within certain
limits could pick up conversations
over enemy lines with which it was
not even connected. So the Ameri-
cans felt certain that all their CONVEX
sations were heard by the Germans.

are you sleeping, sleeping soundly.
Comrade over there,
Where the grasses wave above you
In the summer air,
Where We laid you as we found you
With the ravaged land around you
Grim and bare?
Can you hear the bugle blowing
Faint and far away?
Ian you hear the loud drums throbbing,
Hear the trumpets bray,
Hear the tribute that we render
TO the souls that won the splendor
Of the day?
IT'S tbs day we fought and toiled for.
The day for which you died,
Underneath the flag of freedom,
The banner of our pride,
Which today is proudly flying
Ger the fallen victors lying
Side by side.
o. surely you shall know US
Within your narrow bed,
When battle-worn battalfons
Salute the honored dead
Snail feel the brown earth shaken
And to knowledge shall awaken
At our tread

cratic Company on October Z. The
opening half of the program will con-
sist of concert given by individual

other members of the company. A
complete production Of the opera
''The Gypsy Trail" will form the last
half of the program.
Colonel Balm, the lecturer who will
fill the second number of the course
on November 20 has been on the
platform for thirty years and has
made many appearances on the

that the committee made every effort
to secure the players again. The
OngaWas in their appearance on

and stories as actually lived in ia
pan. The musical part will consist
of japanese melodies played on ma
tive instruments. The Fighting

Last year the course cost $34O Of
which $275 was paid to the Extern
sion Division of the University of

q. S. Employment Service Has Found
Positions For S, 600, 600 Persons

Placement of discharged soldiers
and sailors into Jobs by the United
States Employment Service is to con-
tinue until the Service is discontinued
by lack of funds.
This announcement was made re-
Gently by Director General DensmOre,
Of Service. The work of placing dis
charged service men in jobs is being
carried on at the rate of about $4,000
to $1,000 a week and for the past
three months has been financed by
voluntary subscriptions.
These subscriptions" said Direc-
tor Densmore, were voluntarily Civ
en- to- tide the Service over until the
66th Congress could pass the neces-
sary appropriation bill to provide the
necessary funds for the continuation
of the Service, but as there seems a.
possibility that this will not be done,
our remaining funds will be expended
in the placement of. soldiers, sailors
and marines and we expect to do ev-
erything possible to- find them jobs
until the last day when we shall have
to close our doors for the lack of
funds to operate:"
The work of finding jobs for dis
charged men is, being carried on
through 500 volunteer Offices and.
2, 600 bureaus for returning soldiers
and sailors.
The method used by the Employ
ment Service in bringing the man and
the job together ID, to, make record
of each, man who needs job prior to
his discharge. This is accomplished
by having a representative Of the
Service stationed at each demobiliza-
ton camp in the United States; the
embarkafion. ports. and on. the return
ing transports.
The men are divided into three
classes, to-wit: those who are sure
they need no. assistance, those who
ara doubtful and those who abso-
lutely know that when discharged
they will face the necessity of secur-
ing employment.
A duplicate record is made of the
last two classes. On the face of each
mans record is a brief summary of
what he is capable of. doing what he
prefers to do. with. first, second and
third choice. These cards are then
sent tor the home of the man who is
shout to be- discharged and work is
Immediately begun. to secure q suit
able job for him.
By securing record of the men
prior to their discharge it gives the
Service about ten days or two weeks
in which to find job for that partic
ular discharged man before he is,
ready to fill it. In this way the Serv-
ice has much better success in finding
Suitable jobs-jobs W .iich suit the
applicant and which he is capable of
and is willing to fill
