Seventy Percent Of
Discharged Soldiers
Have Positions Ready
(By Associated Fress)

NEW YORK, June 27-Seventy per
cent of the soldiers discharged since
the armistice, have positions awaiting
them, Colonel Arthur Woods, assistant
to the secretary of war, who is in
charge of obtaining employment for
discharged service men, announced
today.
Enlisted men are being discharged
at the rate Of from $4,000 to 10000 a
week. Colonel Woods said, "and only
a comparatively small percentage are
unable either to return to their old
positions or to obtain new positions
through the various agencies. The
principal centers of unemployment at
the present time are New York, Chi
cago, Pittsburg, st. Louis and Boston.
Out of 100 cities which have fur
nished reports to the war department
81 report total surplus of labor of
22S,000 men and Is cities show a
shortage of labor of 10000 Akron, o.,
reports that it is short 1000 men, the
largest number of any city In the
United States. The greatest demand
for labor is for agricultural hands of
all kinds
Colonel Wood again emphasized the
fact that one Of the difficulties Is the
unusual demand among discharged
service men for clerical labor, and the
reluctance of the average man to per-
form farm labor.

Wilson'S PriDate Seal to Sign
Treaties With Central Powers

Secretary Bryan taking great pride
in the possession of an ancient stone
of Ptolemy's time representing con-
ventional bird with a branch, which
Mr.. Bryan regarded as the original
bird of peace" 1t was this sign that
appears upon each of the twenty-one
arbitration treaties which Mr.. Bryan
esteemed as his greatest accomplish
ment.
AS never before has the president
of the United States been known to
sign treaty, hence there is no record
of a private presidential seal in con-
nection with such documents, Mark
ing another precedent. it was neces-
-sary for Mr. Wilson to duly accredit
himself as a plenipotentiary author
lied to negotiate and sign the Paris
treaty. This, he did by causing Sid
ney Smith, chief Of the diplomatic
bureau of the state department, who
accompanied him to Paris, to prepare
full powers" in his own name which
he duly signed.
