JOBS FOR MANY SOLDIERS
70 Per Cent of Returned Yanks
Says Colonel Woods.

New York, June 2S.-Seventy per
cent of the soldiers discharged since
the armistice have positions awaiting
them, Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to
the secretary of war, who is in charge
of obtaining employment for dis
charged service men, announced.
enlisted men are being discharged
at the rate of from 10000 to 10000 a
week" Colonel Wood 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, Pittsburgh, st. Louis and Bos-
ton. 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 SAYS PEACE
PACT STERN, PUT JUST
Declares Document imposes Nothing
Berlin Government Cannot Do
New Order Of Things.

Washington, June 80. - President
Wilson in an address to the American
people on the occasion of the sign
ing of the peace treaty made a plea
for the acceptance of the treaty and
the covenant of the League of Nations
without change or reservation. His
message, given out here by Secretary
Tumulty, said in part:
MY Fellow Countrymen: The treaty
has been signed. If it is ratified and
acted upon in full and sincere execu-
ton OF its terms, it will furnish the
charter for a new order of affairs in
the world. 1t is a severe treaty in
the duties and penalties it imposed
upon Germany, but it is severe only be-
cause great wrongs done ,by Germany
are to be righted and repaired.
1T imposes nothing that Germany
cannot do; and she can regain her
rightful standing in the world by the
prompt and honorable fulfllment of
it's terms.
"And it is much more than a treaty
of peace with Germany. 1t liberates
great peoples who have never before
been able to find the way to liberty.
1T ends, once for all, an old and
intolerable order under which small
groups of selfish men could use the
peoples of great empires to serve their
ambition for power and domination.
1T associates the free governments
of the world in a permanent league of
which they are pledged to use their
united power to maintain peace by
maintaining right and justice. 1t makes
international law a reality supported
by imperative sanction"

EXPL0DEs; Is HURT
Many Women and Children Are
Among Those Injured.
BLAZING BITS FALL ON THEM
Blast Shakes the Earth Like Quake
Persons Near the Scene Were
Blown Twenty or Thirty Feet
by the Conclusion.

Baltimore, July 2.-The big navy
dirigible C-S, commanded by Lieut.. N.
J. Learned with a crew of six men
and two passengers bound from Cape
May, N. j., to Washington, exploded
with terrific force just after landing at
Camp Holabird, near this city at II 80
to adjust rudder trouble.
The explosion shook the canton
ment and the eastern section Of the
city like an earthquake. The great
balloon instantly became a mass of
flames.
Flames Menace Crowd
Shooting flames and bits of blazing
fragments scattered over the crowd of
nearly 200 persons, men, women and
children, who had gathered on the
camp field to see the huge flyer, and
many of whom were blown partly
across the field
Seventy-five persons, mostly women
and children, were burned or other
wise injured. None of the officers or
crew of the C-8 was hurt, though sew
eral of them suffered severe shock.
They were at work on the disabled
rudder when the explosion occurred.
According to the commander the eX-
plOsion is believed to have been caused
by rapid expansion caused by heat.
The bag contained more gas than was
required after descending from a cold
er altitude temperature.
Explosion Shakes Commander.
Lieutenant Learned was in the office
of the camp adjutant notifying the
naval authorities at Washington by
telephone of his rudder trouble when
the shock of the explosion nearly took
him off his feet.
Some of the persons, including Camp
Holabird men, who were near the
dirigible, were blown 20 or 80 feet by
the conclusion. Houses a mile away
were shaken and windows broken by
the shock. The air was filed with gas
fumes.
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Pank, half a mile from the scene,
looked as if a cyclone had struck it.
Door and window frames were twisted.
Window panes were broken. There
were burned marks all over the house.
Mrs Pank, who was on the second
floor, was severely burned.

Head Of Episcopal Church in New
York Is Active in Promoting
Thrift.

The Rt Rev. Charles II. Brent of
the Western New York Diocese of the
Episcopal Church, In addition to the
multifarious duties as the head Of this
great religious body, finds time to en-
gage actively in promoting the National
Thrift Campaign in connection with
the sale of War Savings Stamps.
According Bishop Brent, the Thrift
Movement has the hearty support Of
the Episcopal Church. This was
evidenced at the recent annual council
of the Episcopal Church in Western
New York, over which Bishop Brent
presided The delegates adopted res
olution approving and recommending
to the clergy and laity Of the diocese
the National Thrift Campaign to en-
courage the practice of sensible econ
omy, safe investment and avoidance
of waste in their respective communi-
ties.
Bishop Brent returned to America
from France in May. He said the peo-
pie of France long have been thrifty
and frugal. Whereas many persons in
France formerly boarded their money
for the mere sake of having 1t and
gloating over it, the war has taught
them that it is wiser to invest in

Bishop Brent emphasized the fact
that it was the intention of the United
States Government to get the people
to be thrifty by purchasing what was
necessary to their comfort and reason

savings either In War Savings Stamps
or savings banks.
