Five Jobs for Every Returned Soldier
Wages Increased Daily.

DETROIT, Nav 6-In Detroit there
are five Jobs available for every sol
der who returns from the war and
two Jobs fer every civilian now out of
employment.
That statement is made on the au-
thority of bureau of the Red Cross, es-
tabhshed for the purpose of finding
employment for returned soldiers. Ev.
cry day the Office has appeals for men
which must be left unsatisfed because
there are not enough soldiers to take
the places.
Not only is this true, but the rate Of
pay is going up daily and is now said
to be the highest point in the history
Of industrial Detroit
As employers have decided they will

reau has an order for $50 men a week
from one large plant. These are to
take the places of Bolsheviki and other
agitators who are un- American. who
are being dropped from the pay roll OF

Reported 1t Will Be Main
tained as a Neutral Port
for Two Years
PRESENTATION OF
PEACE TERMS NEXT
Italians Will Be Present-German Ru-
mors of Dissatisfaction at Versailles
-Bolshevists Of Russia Are Hard
Pressed-An Independent Finland.
Associated Press }


With Premier Orlando and Foreign
Minister Sonnino of Italy on their way
back to Paris it seems probable that
they will be present at the historic
meeting in Versailles tomorrow when
peace terms will be presented to the
German delegation. Nothing official has
been made public as to the agreement
under which Italy has consented to re-
sumo participation. A report reaching
London however, declares that it is
proposed TO make Fiume neutral port
for two years, after which it is to be
turned over to Italy.
German newspapers are printing re-
ports from Versailles that German rep
resentatiycs have served notice on the
allies that further delay will result in
the Germans leaving for Berlin. An
other report emanatng from Berlin
states that German ministers Lands.
berg and Giesberg have left Versailles
but that "peace negotiations viii con
tinue.' Ii is probable that these reports
received in Berlin were intended fol
home consumption.
lHc government OF flnldnd VIII re
ceive recognition from the allies accord
ing to report. The power of the Soviet
government in Budapest seems to b,
crumbling Reports agree that anarchy
reigns in that city.
With the circle OF anti Bolshevist
forces rapidly closing in from south
east, east. northeast and north, the Boil
shevist government of Russia also ap
pears to be hard pressed.
