Work for all the unemployed in Germany
for the next eight years will be provided in
restoring the ruined mines of Northern
France, says ''VOrWarts," the Berlin news

the damage, and which has just made public
its findings.

great that it is sufficient to furnish work for
every idle man in Europe and for every one
else engaged in supertuous labor. The report

helped find places of employment for all these
men where they can bring forth works meet
for repentance" the governor said in his
statement. Il shall resist entrusting to them
the public safety. The forces of Americanism
gathered with so much effort and sacrifice
which came to my support and entrusted me
with their command are not going to be
ANONYMOUSLY surrendered. The public con-
fidence will not be betrayed"
