 IN GETTING EMPLOYMENT

Washington, July 31.--CSpecial.) )-Arn, officers are registering with the United States employment service for positions special efforts are being made by the ser vice to place them in suitable employ ment. Engineers, office managers, teach erns, lawyers, doctors and other pro- fessional men are applying in large num- bers for aid in obtaining employment
 According to Prof. William F. Turnbull formerly of the University of Pennsyl. vania, who is acting director of the sol d:ers' employment division of the federal employment service, those hardest to place are the engineers and other men of technical training.
 This is due to the general holding up of new projects requiring the services oi technical men and executives he said today. Many engineers are now forced to take positions as draftsmen or clerks; in engineering offices pending the be- ginning of these projects Heads of large engineering firms in New York and other cities with whom have talked lately be- lieve that as soon as the peace treaty is ratified and the financial situation set ted engineering work will be undertaken on large scale, thereby opening many opportunities to technical men"
 Under arrangements with the war de- partment, all officers resigning from the army fill out blank stating whether CT not they wish government assistance in obtaining employment. Those who ask for assistance are referred to the federal employment service by the adjutant gen erals office.
 Professor Turnbull estimated today that approximately S5 per cent of the officers registering with the federal employment service are being placed.

Congress Glad to HaUe
 Vacation During August
House Members Have Already Prepared to Go Home While Senate Wrestles With Treaty-Congress
 Will Give Pershng Fitting Honor
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Washington. July s1.-(Special.)-Afte as fine talk-fest as ever men engaged in, the House of Representatives will recess Saturday.
 All that has been accomplished in the extra session beginning May 19 would have been accomplished without an extra session, prior to March, but for the re- publican hlibuster.
 The appropriation bills, which should have been enacted last spring, were com pleted in the extra session. Other than the passage of those bills, the House did little, and the Senate less
 While the House recesses the Senate will continue the consideration of treaties the peace treaty, including the cove nant of the league of nations. and the United States treaty with France under the terms of which this nation will go to the assistance of the European repub- lie in the event of an unprovoked attack against it on the part of Germany.
 While the resolution providing for the recess was under discussion, both parties engaged in considerable "horse play" Two democratic members protested on the ground that nothing had been done for the returned soldier. It began, for an instant to appear as if they would make progress. But Republican Leader Mon dell, in order to keep the democrats in line, called on Representative Kitchin and Clark.
 Mr Kitchin declared in favor of the recess and gave as his reason his belief that the country would be better off with the republican majority unable to legis- late There was laughter on the demo- cratic side And MT. Clark declared in favor of the recess. He did state that the republicans had demonstrated their inability to do things, and for that Iea- son they had discredited themselves. And then he talked of the intense heat which "deprives the mind of man of it's wonted resiliency." He added that he had been speaker for many years, and as "an idi-

ST. THOMAS TAKES
 NEW LEASE ON LIFE
Uncle Sam's New Islands Were Some- what Neglected as Result
 of the War
sx Associated Pres.

St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, July 5. -(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-This American port is beg.n- ming to regain some of it's former mar itime importance. Owing to the war, improvements in this direction have been slow since the Virgin Islands were purchased from Denmark, but now, after considerable agitation by business men of St. Thomas, Amer ican steamers are beginning to call here. This is the result of representa- tions which have been made to Wash ington in behalf of the inhabitants of the islands.
 The islanders feel that American steamship owners and especially the shipping board at Washington have heretofore Overlooked the facilities of the harbor of St. Thomas for provid- ing coal, fuel oil and other stores. While few American steamers have been calling at St. Thomas for sup plies. many have called at the neigh boring British islands. where facilities are not considered as good as here. The price of coal is cheaper at St Thomas than at the British islands.
 To bring this matter before the ship ping board and to obtain all the help possible from the American people and Congress, meeting of the inhabitants of the Virgin islands was held here Resolutions were adopted calling the attention of the shipping board to the facilities of the port, such as pier 5000 feet long with s1 feet of water alongside and all up-to-date appliances for the quick dispatch of vessels want ing coal, water. fuel oil and otEel stores.
 l The resolution was carried to Wash l ington by Darwin o. Curry, collector | of customs, who laid 1t before the l shipping board. MT. Curry has since
 returned and reports that that board
 members of Congress and American /, business men have promised to do al they can for the island.

EUROPE'S DEMAND
 FOR AMERICAN OIL
By HOLLAND


 New York, July s1.-(Special. .)-Some time in mid-winter A. c. Bedford, who is chairman of the board of directors of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, went to Europe He did not return until a few weeks ago. The surmise was general that MT. Bedford had gone to Europe chiefly for the purpose of Investigating at first hand the conditions there. especially as these might relate to the renewal of the ex- port of oil to those countries of Eu- rope which before the war were buy ing large amounts of oil from his com pany.
 Now it is commonly believed that the recent action of the board of directors In recommending the increase of the company's capital stock by almost ex- actly hundred per cent or a hundred
 millions in all. fairly well represents
 many things which MT. Bedford learned
 while in Europe especially those which
 bore favorably upon the renewal of our
 very large export trade in oil.
 Before the European war, Walter Clark Teagle, now president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey had established very large trade not only in England but upon the continent of Europe whereby this American oil was placed upon the market in many cases in manner similar to that adopt ed in the United States, whereby the oil company delivers by wagon or tank from place to place and from sales room to salesroom its product Mir | Teagle was looking for a considerable expansion of this business when tn, war caused him to retire from tha field since there was no longer an, business possible. Upon his return. his | energy and success in the European | field were recognized through th' choice of him as president of the I'm perial Oil company a subsidiary of tht Standard Oil company of New Jerse, whose headquarters are at Toronto Canada. year or two later MT. Tea gle was elected president of the Stand ard Oil company of New Jersey, sue ceeding MT. Bedford who became chair ! man of the board of directors. Botl Mir. Bedford and MT. Teagle are of tn, younger generation of business men MT. Teagle was in fact only thirty
 nine years of age when chosen presid ent of the Standard oil company 0 New Jersey a year and a half ago Both of these executives are master! of the oil industry in all it's depart | ments.

Memorial to Roosevelt

AS a memorial to Theodore Roo1e- welt, a forest biological station, de- voted mainly to the study of wild animal life, has been established at the New York State College of For estry, Syracuse university. This sta tion is believed, says the Popular Me- chanic magazine, to be the first of its kind to be established in the world. It is considered to be of great impovt- ance to foresters and zoologiSts, though it is a project in which many simply interested in the conservation of wild life feel concerned. A better Knowledge of all kinds of wild animals, birds and fish is necessary, according to authorities, to enable law makers to pass suitable legislation for the protection and conservation of game. The idea of the biological station received the indorsement of the ex- president before his death.

REPUBLICANS HIRE
 MEN TO WRITE BILLS

Washington, July 31.-(Special}-The re- publicans, practicing economy, have em. ployed force of capable men whose duty it is to write bills for members.
 All that a member has to do when moved to put through legislation for the uplift of the world, is to order the force of capable men to prepare the legislation
 This force is lodged in one of the mos; desirable rooms of the House office build ng-a building already incapable of hous- ing comfortably all the members of the house. Democrats have asked the speaker and his committee to put the force for bill writing elsewhere and per init them to use the large and airy space the force occupies. But they have scored no success.
 Under democratic rule employees were given space after members had been cared for. But under democratic rule members were expected to prepare theil own bills.
