Returning Army to Civil Life . Brings Problems Unlike
 Those in U. s.
WORKSHOPS ARE WIPED OUT
Labor ReadIustment Is Subject Of Greater importance in France Than In Any Other Bel
 Iluerent Country.

rParis.-Readjustment of labor after disqualification looms as the biggest after-the.war question in France.
 A committee of members of the French chamber of deputies has ofii- cially. asked the government what steps toward labor reconstruction are to be taken.
 Appointment of a commission to study the question has just been an nounced.
 Labor readjustment Is subject of greater importance in France than in any other belligerent country-outside of Belgium, perhaps-because so many factories and commercial enterprises have been destroyed by the war.
 Workshops Are Wiped Out.
 When the soldiers are demobilized a great number will not be able to return to the work In which they were engaged before the war. Their work shops have been. wiped out.
 Many others who have been em- pIoyed, on war work in munitions ulants will be thrown out of employ ment. For such concerns will have to shut down while they adapt them- selves, many of them slowly, to a peace-tlme line of manufacture.
 Another class of men, who have been away at the front four years, will find no places open because they nave been replaced by other, labor women, in numerous cases.
 The government faces the problems of having more men on Its hands than it has jobs. 4 quick solution Is i'm perative, according to the view of prominent labor leaders.
 Every other country except France has thought about this matter" said Emmanuel Brousse, a French deputy and member of the newly appointed labor adjustment commission.
 Britain has been working on the labor question for long time. Twen- ty-AYe commissions composed of spe- ciallsts in various lines have prepared a solution. ..... --.- .... .........,.
 @Germany had It's afterwar program definitely mapped out. First the men who in civil life were engaged in such occupations as technical, commercial industrial, financial and transport were to be freed from army service. Other kinds of workmen were to be demobilized successiyely.
 France must not lose a moment in mapping out its labor readjustment plan. Otherwise there will be social catastrophe" :.
 Labor leaders in France point also to the preparations in America for distributing farming land to demobil. tGed soldiers. But they remark that this method of finding something for the e1-soldier to do is closed to the French. .s..
 Land Cultivated IntenslVely.
 France has no vast unoccupied lands as the United States has, except in it's northern African colonies. All of

France is cultivated intenslvely, leav. ing none for reclamation by demobll- ized soldiers. And it Is calculated, that few will want to leave their own country for the purpose of colonlzas tion.
 G. Fl. Roberts, British minister of labor, recently discussed this, subject before, an audience of British soldiers at the British Army and Navy Leave club in Paris:
 The British minister said temporar. fly unemployment difficulties of demo- bilized soldiers would be, met by a free ortof-work donation covering @ period of F months after discharge. This will be additional to- the months furlough given each man on his dis charge. during which time pay and al- lowances are to be continued.
 The skilled workman among British soldiers, Roberts said, is safeguarded by the munitions of war act, giving him the assurance of reinstatement in employment. Committees, he said, would establish employment agencies in all cities and everything possible would be done to make labor resettle' ment as speedy and smooth as possi- ble. -.

ship, who had been on the ocean ever since he shipped as cabin boy on board a down East blue noser 50 years ago, admitted the convoy game was a new one on him, and hung over the rail watching our many war-cOlored neigh bors.
 Tt Is not hard to see why the con- voy system was effective. Take the case of a convoy of 25 ships (72 Is the largest number I've heard of In one convoy; our mate told me of being caught In a 72-ship convoy in sail- Ing ship in the Bay of Biscay). When these ships went in convoy instead of there being % different units scattered all over the zone for the U-boats to find, there was only one. That is, the Hun had only one chance of meeting a ship where he had 25 before. And If he did meet the convoy he found 1t usually with q naval escort, whose sole business was sinking submarines. He found, too, 25 lookouts on watch for him. % sets of guns ready for him, where there were but one each before. If the Hun showed himself to a con- vOy and its escort. the odds were that he was due for quick trip to the bot tom.
 "The usual convoy formation was in columns in a rough square. This was the most compact, and the inside ships were practically immune from attack. The escorts circled the convoy, If necessary, and the outside ships con- centrated their fire on any submarine that appeared.
 "Convoys were made up at different speeds, and even the rustiest old tramps were provided for In a six-Snot class.
 "In spite of this, some captains im- agitation always tackled couple of knots to their ships speed. There seemed to be a nautical version of Home, Sweet Home'-be 1t ever so humble, there's no ship like mine and vessels making nine knots on Broad way make bare seven off Fire island.
 Tt was remarkable what a snappy escort commander could do with his charges. After a day or two together he had them maneuvering in position like a second grand fleet; zigzagglng dark through a black night, not ray of light showing anywhere if they were in the danger zone or tin fish was reported near.
 Color Schemes Are Bizarre.
 ''The war brought no stranger spec tacle than that of convoy of steam ships blowing along through the mid dle of the ocean Streaked and bespot- ted indiScriminately with every color of the rainbow In a way more bizarre than the widest dreams of a sailors first night ashore.
 'The effect of good camoufage was remarkable. 1 have often looked at a fellow ship in the convoy on our quarter on exactly the same courses we were, but on account of her camou- 1age she appeared 10 be making right

New YOrk.-With the need of se- crecy ended by the cessation of fight ing lon land on sea and in the air' the methods used to baffle the Hun submarines have been revealed by Of fcers of the United States shipping board. They made public the details Of convoy management and the proper camouhaging of grouped ships to make their destruction by undersea craft difficult.

 ''Once we were out in the stream" !" he says, i've headed down the chan Del for the lightship. beyond which our convoy and escorts were waiting for us. All were slowly under way when We reached them.

 Back to Primitive Methods.
 -As Ia the army we have turned back to medieval helmets and armor, so on the water we have turned to medieval naval tactics; but instead of conveys of Spanish galleons and fri gates of the seventeenth century from the new world to the old, our conveys were American transports and de stroyers.

State of Washington EnIlsts Army of Ladybuas to Fight Fruit

Seattle, Wash.-War has been de- clared on the aphis that annually de- stroys thousands of dollars worth of crops in eastern Washington and Ore gon. An army of ladybugs is being recruited by the United States bureau of entomology with the assistance of game wardens throughout the two Northwestern states.
 The ladybug is the natural enemy of the aphis. When liberated in col ony of aphIs the ladybug's actions are anything but ladylike. One ladybug is said to be more than match for 100 able-bodied aphis. The army of ladybugs is now in winter quarters in the mountains at an altitude of about 5000 feet. The game wardens will be required to round them up and have them ready for the. spring drive.
