Idle Soldiers,

 "RiGht now we have ten jobs to every soldier who comes to us for york; reports the secretary in charge of the employment department of a big Y. NJ. (. \. "From six of the largest manufacturers in the city we have 1000 jobs waiting for applicants. These are mostly in shops. and in al- most all of these cases the places are open only to returned soldiers and Gailors.'
 The men for whom they are held open do not turn up to claim them. There are far more than enough idle soldiers and sailors in the city to fill those places. But nearly all Of them are looking for better places--or rath- CT. waiting for something better 10 be offered them.
 The same situation is revealed hN an inquiry into the labor situation in the majority Of cities- II is shown bv the array of "he1p wanted" notices in the liner ad section Of almost any newspaper There is plenty of work available for the returning soldiers. but they are disposed to regard the work as not good enough for them. Their point Of view is understand able enough. and in wax is very much to their credit It may be read ilv granted that nothing is too good for these sturdy young fellows who have fought their county battles so hraVelN and in many cases endured so much hardship. It is probably true. also. that most of them have been so improved by their experience that thev are capable of filling better po- sitiOns
 But there is 8 practical situation to deal with No matter what the sol diers and sailors deserve. there are not enough of the sort of jobs they want to go around among them. Busi-

GERMANS PREPARING ,
 FOR EVENTUALITIES
Reported to Be Moving War Materials and Supplies Away From Area
 Occupied By Allies.

Coblenz, June II. (By the Associate ed Press )--The movement of war material by the Germans from terri tory beyond the occupied areas con- tinues according to German newspa- pers. The beginning of this withdraw~ al was made several weeks ago when there was q hitch in peace ncgotia7 tions. The withdrawal of troops from various sectors opposite the AL lies brdgeheads is also reported. <. ..
 Several days ago the removal of material from the Frankfort area be- gan. Most of this material is going. in the direction of CasseI, but there are no indications it is being unloaded there. Frankfort Is on a line over which the Americans would advance should the Allies be ordered 10 move further into Germany. Beyond the Coblenz brideehcad much war ma teriaI has been withdrawn for a dis. tance of more than so miles Tn the Ruhr district the military retirement is virtually complete.
 According to German newspap pers, industrial plants, banks and civilians east of the Allied bridgeheads are making preparations for eventualities in case Allied forces move eastward. It is reported that schools have postpon-. ed exercises scheduled for this week.

SUING THE UNION.

The people of Pittsburgh are suing the local branch of the Amalgamate1 Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes for sum amount ing to $2.O35.0oo.78. which represents the amount lost by the public of that city during the recent street car strike.
 Allegations are made that the action of the public service Workmcn in striking was unlawful, that it in fringed the rights of trade, business and travel which was in violation of the Constitution of the United States and the State of Pennsylvania, and a con- spiracy and a combination in restraint of trade Some of the strikers, it is said, did not understand that they were being led into possible violations of the law and all will be given a

A PHYSICIAN FOR THE SOLDIERS.

The appointm of Dr. Henry T. City of New Britain in order that the Citys discharged soldiers may be better taken care of should prove 8 local benefit that cannot be ignored The wounded and sick ex-service man who owes his inCapacity to the war will now have medical advice and at he will be able to have his needs at tended without going out of the city.
 pr. Brays powers will be large and he will be in supreme authority here. Any cases of disability will come be- fore him He will pass upon the na- ture and extent of the injuries and arrange for compensation. He has designated the New Britain General Hospital as a recuperation point for cases which demand treatm ent in an institution.
 There were many instances during 2 the height of the recent demobiliza- tion of cases discharged as cured or partially cured that did not warrant this action. \ large number of men were handled and the wish of the "doughboy" to get to his home was the cause of his hiding ailments which should have received proper m medical Urea tment. Such cases will now have a doctor available in their own city to whom they may go and obtain care, even though discharged Dr. Bray s appointment will prove d boon, if properly used.

THE MYSTERY SOLNED.

After wasting many words and much of it's time, the United States Senate has finally solved the mystery of the "purloined" treaty. The party guilty apprehended and q week of verbal sleuthing has come to a close. H. r. Davison had the treaty CODY and he showed it to Elihu Root. Doubtless there are other copies in the United States; that is admitted everywhere. 1t is now public property.
 The whole affair was amusing in it's pettiness. MT. Roots remark that no damage was done in publishing the treaty in the Congressional Record "unless it was through withdrawing the attention of the Senate from the various other important matters awaiting action" may be applied to the whole investigation. President Wilson's request, from Paris, that the document be unpublished was prob ably contrary to the wishes of the ipeople. The Senate should have had a copy for it's use. But the pains taken to officially obtain it and the value of the copy after it was obtained by no means balanced. It's essential details had been covered in advance statements and they were sufficient, as it turned out, to give accurate knoNl- edge of what the whole document was to be.
 In the hunt for political bombshells, the Senate has utterly failed. IA week of time belonging to other and weightier matters has been consum ed and nothing accom- plished. There were no additional thorns placed in the crown of the Democratic Party nor were laurels added to the Repub- N an halo. If anything, we have been aown that the peace representation vas acting in good faith when it sum- lnarized the treaty for the people of this country several weeks ago and that the policy of "open covenants openly arrived att was to be followed. The public has not been tricked. The Senators have proved that, proba bly to their own dislikng.

DREAM WILLOWS.

Seems to me I hear the willows sigh ing round the river bend. Whisp ring secrets in my lrea ring, just as though I were a friend And, why not" I've lain beneath them man and boy. for twenty years; Told them mine in reckless laughter: told them in a storm of tears There l used to go at sunset when the great green world was still, Taking all my boyish passions,
 whether good or whether ill. Felt the spring rains gentle batter falling on my upturned cheek Felt the north winds lash in winter when the hills were white and bleak.
 Every spring I hear the music of their far off CoaHing call High above the sleopleEs traffic; high above the human brawl. Just 9 day to seek their shadows: just an hour to hide a pain Just to rest beneath their branchc cs dreaming dreams of youth again. Do you weep, 0 fragrant willows, as you did in other days" Do you gossip with the rifles of the worlds distressing ways? Do you spray the grass at sunrise with your night old wealth Of tears? Do you sigh your gentle greeting when the first haw bloom appears: Does the big black bass annoy you,, with his unexpected splash? Does he still disport before you With
 his mottled si1Ner flash? Does he chase the phantom minnows to the shadows Of the pool, Then laN by in crafty silence to await another school?
 DO the anglers mar the silence as they
 cast in. sheer despair. Aiming where they. last espled him
 but to find he isn't thereo An, wonder if you miss me as these
 spring days come and go, Al the river bend of Fancy--iu the
 land of So and So.

GERNIANI'S MOVING DAN.


 David R. Francis, American Am bassa dor to Russia, gave uttcranCe to in that country which will receive hearty concurrence in the minds of those knowing conditions there when
 he stated that unless steps were taken to put down the Bolsheviki and es- tablish q stable form of govcrnm cnt, Germany would be in charge of all of it's resources in men and material and
 again he menace to the world. The German military party, through it's vell-knovn capacity for organiza ton, may readily obtain the leader ship of the frcnzied peoples of Russia
 unless the Allies take pains to see that their representation there is strong enough to offset the influence of the
 Hun. That that power is not small
 may be gleaned from the following
 part of the Amba ssador's speech: Germany has not only been studying the immense resources Of Russia for a half-century, but
 during the past several decades has given careful attention to the Russian character, going so far IS to place German teachers in Russian schools. As I said in my testimony before the Overman committee of the Senate and on if Ger many. had deferred the war a decade. or five years even, she would have had such a strong foothoId in Russia that it would have been impossible to dislodge her. I have also expressed the view many times that it would be l difficult, if possible. to establish peace in Europe with chaos pre- vailin.g in Russia, or even with Bolshevik rule dominating Russia. 1t is also my conviction, if sta ble government is not established in Russia, that Germany will l. utilize. the resources of that country, organize it's man power as Germany knows so well how to uO--and become as powerful and as great a menace 10 the people of Europe at the end of one or two decad des as she was at the be- ginning of the World War. Lloyd George said to one of his col leagues at the Paris conference: Any peace which we negotiate here with Russia left out would be q travestH, for Russia com
 priscs half of the dry land of Europe and half of Asia alSo.' ." Germanys war leaders would lose
 nothing and gain a great deal if they l could transfer their repudiated gov l ernm ent into Russia It's resources are l greater than those of any other coun- l try. Though undeveloped, it is capa- 1 ble of self-support and could put l the rest of the world. It will become
