1t stands to reason that every returning

We drafted these men.
We made them join the army, whether
they wanted to or not. When the supreme
danger faced us we had no time to parley,
to consult convictions, prejudices, or opin-

good.
Now what?
When it's all over, and they're brought
back home, are we to say to them: Nov
that we're done with you, and you've saved
our lives and property, you can go hang?
] think not
No decent American would say this. That
is, directly.
But we do say it indirectly, and just as
cruelty, when we neglect to put these dis
charged soldiers in some position where they
can earn an honest living.
Pensions are all right in their place-good
for crippled men. But the men that are I'M
crippled want no Charity. To offer them
free soup or money, or otherwise to indulge
in what Bill Donovan calls "lap-dog patriot
ISM" is TO insult them.
They want a chance.
They want a square deal.
And if we don't give it to them we are
lot of rascally pikers.
The Unemployment Bureau, under the di
rection of the War Department, is trying to
do for us our duty, to get every soldier into
job Colonel Arthur Woods, whom the
Department has called back into the service
and set to this work, has gathered around
him considerable group of officers, distrib-
uted them throughout the cities, and through
them is endeavoring to attend to this most
important business.
An effort is being made to get all the jobs
in one place and all the soldiers to the same
place.
Now YOU are needed.

On the ISSUE Of
4mericanism There Can
Be NO Compromise
A Job for Every Ex-SOldier
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. by Frank Crane,

Every Employer should give preference to
the ex-soldier We owe him this.
Newspapers, school teachers, churches,
clubs, city councils and every other organ
ization should heartily cooperate.
In calculating any applicants fitness for
employment in your concern, put down the
fact that he is an ex-soldier as rating at
least rs per cent.
In nutshell, look at it this way:
Would you not give YOUR OWN SON
preference in your employment? And if he
were not quite fitted, wouldn't you help him
along and TRY TO MAKE HIM FIT?
LOOK UPON EVERY EX-SOLDIER AS
YOUR OWN BOY!

Who interdicted your incision.

To offer my collaboration
