Eighty-Five
Thousand
Hun Helmets Are Sold to
Loan Organization for the
Sum OF ST.

Washington, ID. c., April II.
German helmets are selling con-
siderably below par. Notwith-
standing this the United States
government, represented b, the
War Loan Organization, has
become the largest importer Of
Hun helmets in TN: world. Tie
eighty-tive thousand recently
received in this country were
made by special order of Kaiser
Wilhelm, for the triumphal en-
try Of the German army into
Paris. For some reason or 9th
er the German army changed
its plans aud direction at
Chateau Thierry. The helmets
Eventually reached the French
capital-but by freight and con
signed to General Pcrshing.
When the helmets reached
thls country rather q humorous
fairy was caused when they
were bought from the War De
Ipartment by the War Loan or
gnnization for the stupendous
and magnificent sum Of one
dollar. The trophies will soon
be apportioned among the Fed
eral Reserve Districts aud will
be used to add interest aud
stimulus TO the Victory Liberty
Loan campaign.
Shortly after the one dollar
purchase was announced the
publicity director Of the Twelfth
district, c, a Farnsworth, Of
California, sent a letter speed
ing to the national publicity di
rector, Frank II Wilson, in
Washington, d. c., enclosing
ten cents, which MIR. worth
deemed the proper amount
which his district should pay
Mr.. Wilson, after considering
the military value of German
helmets even those made for
triumphant entries - decided
that the California publicity
man had oyer-paid. He ac-
cordingly returned two cents.
"Wo have no desire to max e
any profit on these goods" MIR,
Wilson wrote.
BE ali this as it may. the
German helmets are here, and
they are here because the Ger.
man army was halted, thrown
back and almost destroyed Lc
fore it could manage to surren

OPPORTUNITIES IN TRADES.
Disabled Soldiers Training for Better
 Jobs in the Old Work.

Washington, May 28.-Some men never realize the opportunities within their own trades It is the duty of the vocational advisers of the federal board to point out these advantages to men who though too severely dis abled to return to the same job, may with additional training prepare themselves for a better place ln the old trade. For instance, disabled farm laborer is studying scientific farming tailor, who lost a leg in the service, is preparing himself to be a designer, a wounded bricklayer has become an estimator and cost accountant in construction work at much better wages Through their disa bilities these and other malmed soldiers have realized that with the training offered by the government they can fit themselves, as they had not been able to do before, to work with their brains well as with their hands.
 Disabled soldiers interested in ris- ing to something better in the old trade or in a new one should com-
 nunicate with the Federal Board for Vocational Education, 200 New Jer- sey avenue Washington, D. C.

GERMANS ARE READY
 TO RESUME TRADE
Quantities of Products Are Stored Near the Italian Border for
 Immediate Use.

Milan, May .o7.---Imm ense quanti- ties of German products are stored in warehouses in Chiasso, on the frontier between Italy and Switzerland, and Germany plans to renew inm ediately her commercial relations with Italy, according to Ulysses Bywater, of the Chamber of Comm cree of the United States
 There are thousands of bicycles of German manufa cture at Chia sso ready to flood the market MT. Bywator told The Associated Press today There are also carloads of chemicals and dyestuffs which have already been offered to Italian merchants at ex- tremely low prices. The high rate of American exchange makes Italian trading with Americans most difficu,t while the German mark is at it's low est ebb. This makes the price. when translated into tires, most attra ctiva The dollar exchange costs the Italians three times as much as the mark ex- change. Naturally, the prices Of Cor man goods in fires are very low. Thero is q sure American market here hu+ the monetary situation is very hard and will be solved only by anotber American loan or by the paymcnt of a large war indemnity to Italy,"

Committee Named to Start Or
 Sanlzation Of Local Chapter

The first definite action in regard to the formation of a. New Britain chap ter or the American Legion, an organ lzatlon open to all men honorably dis charged from any branch of the serV Ice, was taken today with the appoint ment of an executive committee to start the ball rolling.
 The names of the committee mem Ders show that it was selected with great care and with all branches of the service well represented. The committee is not a permanent one but will be in power until definite organi- zation of the local chapter.
 The committee of 20 will call a mass meeting in the near future of all the service men of the city at c. A. R. hall to submit their reports for ap- proval.
 The national organization requires the men to organize and apply to the state central committee for charter. This formality will be gone through by the temporary committee which will also hold the first meeting for general business. election of officers and naming the cha pter.
