BECOMES BUSINESS MAN
THROUGH DISABILITY
Federal Board for Vocational Education
Enables Disabled Soldier to
Realize Ambition.

Washington, D. c., Aug. LIN spite of
severe physical disabilities, ordinarily
discouraging, many wounded soldiers are
enthusiastic about their future, because
of the training being given them by the
government. Take this case of one Of
them He was born in Hungary, but at
10 was clerking in grocery store in
Alabama, when he enlisted and went
overseas with the A. +. F. A high ex-
plosive shell shattered his left knee.
While in the hospital this young man
lost no time in applying for training.
He is taking business course at a
commercial school in Birmingham, Ala,
which win enable him to realize his long
cherished ambition of becoming a bust
ness man. He wears a croix de guerre
under his coat, and when asked for an
explanation he laughingly says it was
awarded to him for being killed in bat
tie. In reality, he was reported killed
and the decoration was sent to his ia
Their.
If you know of any other disabled SOL
der who has an unsatisfied ambition,
put him in touch with the federal board
for vocational education at 200 New
Jersey avenue, Washington, or perhaps
one of the district offices of the board is
located in your own town.

NOT TO QUESTION PATRIOTISM
Of Those Who Hold Differing Views on
League of Nations.

Washington, D. G., July 3l.-Patriot-
ism of men who hold differing views on
the wisdom of ratifying the peace treaty,
including the league of nations covenant,
is not to be challenged $50 long as they
think above the plane of partisanship,"
Secretary Lane declared here last night
before mass meeting of government
employees.
"It is not an easy question to answer"
Mr. Lane said, adding that it was one
''to which we wish an American answer"
"And it takes courage" he declared,
whether we stand still and risk the
scorn of waiting, eager world, or break
through our inertia and take the step
that leads to multitude Of new rela-
tionships and possible obligations"
The view of the ordinary citizen, the
secretary said he thought, was that as
many obstacles as possible be put in the
way of nations desiring to make war
"but to be left as free as possible to
follow our own designs, knowing that
these do not endanger the peace of the
world"
eve will not hazard our national life
or the right of or- people to determine
their own institutions and destiny" he
said. but with these safeguarded we
win go far for the sake of the world"

of noses" Mr. Lane said "and we may
presume much for policy which the
chosen leaders of the two hundred and
fifty million of the most civilized OF the
worlds people have endorsed
Mr.. Lane said he believed everyone
would have preferred that the league
should have been born "in different
way, at different time" When Theo-
dore Roosevelt returned from his trip to
Africa, he added, the former president
made the strongest appeal any national
leader had then voiced" for such a
league"
"Then was the day for its creation"
Secretary Lane continued "But the
world did not see the danger it was in.
Such men as President Taft and Mr..
Root committed themselves to the pro-
iect then, Mr. Lane said, but ''the stern
figure of the kaiser backed by his stand
ing army of two million men" stood in
their path William Jennings Bryan, as
secretary of state, had moved in the
same direction with his negotiation of
arbitration treaties, Mr.. Lane continued,
adding:
let us be frank. We of America did
not take these efforts of Mr. Bryan with
any degree of seriousness. We thought
him a undetermined visionary. Yet his
plan is incorporated as the first step of
the pyramid of the present proposed
league"
1t was not until the war came that
any but tentative steps could be taken
toward the formation of a peace league,

BRITISH RAILWAYS
FINANCIAL NVALIDS
Proposal That They as Well as Coal
Mines Should Be Mathematical Is
Now Being Agitated.

London, Aug. Correspondence of the
Associated Press) British railways and
coal mnies are at present financial in
valids. Both of these industries still
are controlled by the government, under
war legislation. Proposals that both
should be nationalized are among the
most important reconstruction plans now
being agitated here.
The British railways are managed by
the ministry Of transport with a guar,
antee of pre-war profits to the share
holders. The coal mines are operated by
controller who fixes the compensation
of the mine owners.
"The transport systems OF the country
are financially in a semi.paralyzed
state" the minister Of transport, Sir
Eric Geddes, recently told the House Of
Commons. The balance sheet Of the rail.
roads for the coming year, as he fore
cast it, will show loss of II 900, 900
to 100000 pounds, against an annual
profit Of about 100000 pounds for the
five last years before the war.
The annual wage bill of the railways
before the war was about $4,000 600
EClI Eric bcuubA ESTIMATES the
increased war wages and other conces,
sions at 57,000,000 pounds, the eight
hour day and other concessions to cost
from 200O00O0 to 25,O00,000 pounds and
the extra cost of materials and coal o.
100000 pounds, making the increased
cost of running the railroads 100000, 900
to lO7 100000 pounds without taking
into account the great depreciation Of
plant during the war.
Some fnanciers contest these figures
strongly and assert that the deficit is
merely a paper one, due to failure in
bookkeeping to charge the immense gov
eminent traffic at rates which private
traffic would cost, and that the financial
outlook is nowise as bad as Sir Eric's
view of it.
The deficits of the railways and mines
are betrayed under present arrange
ments, the former directly from the
treasury out of the pockets Of the tax
payers, the latter by the whole com
munity through official advances in the
price Of coal.
On July IA the British government
announced that the price of coal would
be increased six shillings a ton.

ASKS HOUSE TO
STAY IN SESSION
President Wilson Wants 1t
to Postpone It's
Recess
UNTIL ACTION is
TAKEN ON R. r. WAGES
Special Investigating Com
mission Asked to Pass
on Wage Increases

Washington, D. c., Aug. president
Wilson late yesterday asked Speaker
Gillett of the House OF Representatives
to postpone its recess until definite ac-
ton was taken on his request that Con
gress set up commission to pass upon
wage increases asked for by railroad EN-
ployes. An identical letter was sent to
Representative Mondell, the Republican
floor leader
President Wilson yesterday asked Con
gress to create a special investigating
commission to pass on the wage increases
asked by the railway shopmen and other
railway employees.
The president forwarded to Senator
Cummins and Representative Esch, chair
men respectively of the Senate and
House interstate commerce committees,
the proposal made originally by Director
General Hines and asked that provision
be made for representation of both labor
and the public on the body.
The president asked Congress to stipu-
late in its legislation that if wage in
creases are allowed under its award, it
should be mandatory in rate making au-
thority to increase railroad rates enough
to meet the advances.
Director General Hines informed the
president that inasmuch as the increases
being asked by all classes OF railroad
workers aggregated $s00,000,000 year,
he hoped something might be done TO re-
duce the cost of living as an alternative,
because he doubted that his powers were
sufficient to increase rates enough to
meet the vast sum.
President Wilson wrote tn. committee
chairmen that he concurred in the view
of Mr.. Hines that the legislation under
taken should authorize the body thus
set up to make its findings with regard
to wage increases retroactive TO the first
of August, 1919 at any rate to the ex-
tent that the tribunal may regard rea-
sonable and proper. in order to give real
relief to the employees concerned.

WHY FRANCE NEEDS BRIDGEHEADs
Was Related by Premier Clemenceau to
French Legislators.

Paris, July 29.-Premier Clemenceau
accompanied by Captain Andre Tardieu,
attended to-day's meeting of the COM
mittee of the Chamber of Deputies which
is considering the peace treaty and
brought written replies to questions
formulated by the committee regarding
the left bank of the Rhine.
Captain Tardieu read the replies, after
which there was a lengthy discussion, M.
Clemenceau simplifying the replies. He
recalled that the government had pre-
scented memorandum to the peace CON
ference, setting forth at length the rea
sons why France should hold the Rhine
bridgeheads. The document, presented
Feb. 81, was discussed until the middle
of March. At that date, the French gov.
eminent, in agreement with the allies,
combined various military systems which
fully assured the safety of France and
which, taken one with the other, We're
equivalent to occupation of the bridge
heads. These measures were accepted by
the peace conference and incorporated in
the treaty. In addition to them came
later treaties with England and the
United States, guaranteeing immediate
and unlimited military aid.
The premier and Captain Tardieu, an
swering various objections raised regard
ing the rapidity of possible German con
centration and distance of the military
help of the allies, pointed out that it
was impossible to admit that an army,
reduced to 100000 men, could, even in
the face of the universal indifference of
the world in general and France in par
ticular, be raised to several million men
armed and equipped, ready for war. The
hearing of NJ. Clemenceau lasted three
hours.

Recipes for Preserving Gooseberries.

Gooseberry Conserve.--Wash and stem
five pounds of gooseberries and add four
pounds of sugar, one and half pounds

into preserving kettle, let stand for 20
minutes and simmer for - minutes aft.

Gooseberry am.-This may be made
with the plain gooseberries and sugar or
with the addition of red currant juice
For the former, stem and wash the ber-
ries, put them in preserving kettle
with just enough water to prevent burn.
ig, mash the fruit well and cook until
the fruit is softened. Add as much heat
ed sugar as you have fruit pulp, and
simmer for about 90 minutes Skim

For the other method, melt six pounds
Of sugar in quart of red currant juice,

perfect gooseberries. Make tiny open
ing in the side of each one Then with a
needle remove the seeds one by one,
taking pains to preserve the shape of
the fruit, Weigh the prepared berries,
allow an equal amount of strained hon
ey, and when the latter is hot put in
the berries and simmer for four minutes.
Skim out the fruit, place in tiny jelly
glasses and boil down the honey syrup
until very thick, Pour this over the fruit
and seal when cold with paraffine.

apple and one pound of chopped, seeded
raisins. Boil the mixture very slowly
