Philadelphia, Pa, May S.-Thou-
sands of church welcome committees
organized to serve returning soldiers
and sailors thru the plan put forth
by the army and navy department
of the Brotherhood of st. Andrew Will
Join tomorrow in the nationwide cam
paign to observe Employment Sunday.
The object of the day is to get JOBS
for all men returning from the army
and navy.
The suggested observance of this
day is endorsed by President WILSON,
the department of labor, the United
States employment service and large
percentage of the $4,000 Protestant
churches thruout the country which
are represented by the general war
time commission of the Churches of
Christ Thru the general war time
commission and under government
frank posters have been sent to the
pastors of lis, 900 congregations TO De
displayed in each church, together
with suggestions and ways in which
the churches may cooperate with the
United States employment service.
Churches Are Active.
Church welcome committees in all
parts of the country organized thru
the efforts of the army and navy de-
partment of the Brotherhood OF ST
Andrew already have been doing an
active work in welcoming the returned
soldiers and sailors, placing them IN
jobs and serving them thru the many
channels of church and community
life. This plan of welcoming returned
men has the hearty endorsement and
cooperation of the big welfare organi-
cations, notably the Red Cross, Y. NJ.
c. A and war camp community serv-
ice. The general war time commits
sion is acti~ely pushing the idea and
has called on the various churches to
appoint church welcome committees
and to put them to work at once in
serving returning soldiers and sailors
in every way possible.
Ask for More Help.
Fitting the returned man into his
proper place in the community and
church life is the keynote of the plan.
1t suggests that each church should
form at once a committee of its active
laymen with necessary officers. This
committee gets in touch with the men
as they return home, seeks out their
needs and in every way possible works
with them in filling those needs.
Jobs are found, entertainments are
planned, the man is welcomed to the
church and to all activities CT the COM
munity life. He is welcomed home
and shown that his church and COM
munity feel proud of him, not in a
stand-offish semblance of hero wor-
ship, but in real service that tends to
build up and strengthen the ideals for
which he fought.

FAME FOR SOME CITY

lard Dempsey Fight.

New York, May Sex Richard is
about to open his mouth and make
some town famous. Today or tomor-
row he is expected to name the place
where Jess Willard and Jack Dempsey
meet for the championship July 4.
According to the terms of the
agreement, the site must be fixed to-
morrow, two months before the date
of the combat.
Richard was due to start for New
York today from Cleveland. He has
been looking over the situation in To-
ledo, which is anxious to get the
melon.
Bids have been received from nu-
merous localities and all kinds of
money has been offered by many
chambers of commerce and similar
organizations. Richard is now be-
lieved to have fully made up his mind
and the guessing is that the fight may
be staged in Ohio. 1t is considered
significant that Tex is remaining there
so long. He was expected to start for
New York yesterday, and the fans
here have bunch he is staying over
to do some last minute dickering and
arrange final details before coming

clans. is often enormously called
sleeping Sickness is resting easy
today, it is asserted.
Miss Klein suffered with the influ-
pneumonia last December but
apparently recovered. She became
sick a week ago Saturday and since
last Friday has been belfast in an al
most continual restless slumber.
The case has been diagnosed by DR..
c. f. and Karl A. Menninger and 9TH

tact with it as encephalitis lethargica
physicians say, as that which is now
occurring thru this country and being
enormously allied sleeping sickness. -
Not Tropical Disease.
However, according to DR.. Karl
Menninger, specialist, it is not the
same ailment as sleeping sickness,
which does not occur outside of the
tropics and is caused by the bite of a
fly found only in middle Africa and
similar climates The real sleeping
sickness is always fatal.
Encephalitis lethargica, or mona, is
not a new ailment, it is asserted. 1t
has been found since the middle ages
in various countries, mona being its
name in southern Europe. Altho in
fluenZa is said to be contributing
cause, it is not the sole cause, physi-
clans say. No definite discovery of all
elements of the cause have been made,
and little is known about an effective
remedy or definite cure.

COUNTY COURT HAS WAIVED |TS RIGHT
 IF EQUALIZATION

Both divisions of the superior court yesterday relinquished the jurisdiction conferred upon them by the naturall- zation laws. The court has not exer- cised it's jurisdiction in the matter for a number of years, the federal court considering all such affairs. At the in stance of Claud s. Berryman clerk of the court, Judge Stanford and Judge Lyman waived their rights in the mat ter, which will save Berryman the ne cessity of sending blank reports to Washington.
 The action taken by the superior court judges took the following form: WHEREAS the Naturalization Laws of the United States Of America Of June 18th, 1906. conferred Jurisdiction l to naturalize aliens upon ''all courts of record in any state or State or Ter ritory now existing, or which may | hereafter be created. having a seal a clerk and jurisdiction in actions at law or equity, or law and equity, in which the amount in controversy is unlim 1 ited: and
