EDUCATING DISABLED SOLDIERS

One of the privileges granted to
crippled soldiers by a grateful sover
eign. centuries ago. a the exclusive
right to beg on certain streets. This
was better than competitive begging,
for In those days many civilian beg
gars. being whole In body and quick
of wit. were keen competitors. In lat
err days the more enlightened nations
provided homes for their crippled sol
diers, where they could sit on benches
in the sun and doze away the remain
der of their days.
But the unprecedented slaughter OF
men In this war, and the frightful me-
thods of German warfare that pro-
duced so large a proportion of multi
ated men. woke the world to the need
of saving for productive usefulness the
great army of disabled men. Even be-
fore America entered the war, France
and Britain had taken up the educa-
ton and rehabilitation of cripples with
great success. In France 1t Is said
nine-tenths of the war cripples are
now earning more than they did be-
fore the war.
In the vocational education Of dis
abled soldiers America leads ever
France and Britain. Any service nah
whose disability is estimated to ex-
coed ten per cent. is entitled to voca-
tional training Under an advisory
board he receives the instruction that
will best ft him for self-support, gets
his tuition. tools and books while in
school, and financial aid up to sixty
five dollars a month, or even moro,
IL he has dependents. His schooling
may last for from six months to four
years.
The rehabilitation district of which
Minneapolis is the headquarters in
cludes the four state of Minnesota,
North and South Dakota and Montana.
All disabled soldiers who entered the
service from these states are being
cared for by the vocational officers Of
the district.
While most crippled soldiers will be
educated in the home district, this is
not an arbitrary rule. The unusual
educational facilities offered by the
Dunwoody Institute, the Minnesota
College Of Agriculture. the U~niversit,
OF Minnesota and other training and
professional schools OF this city will
draw soldier students from other dis

an feels that she is entitled to a frank

Washington, April, 2nd.-British des-
troyers will cooperate with the United
States navy in patrolling the course to
be followed in the projected cir flight
across the Atlantic next month. 1t was
learned today at the Navy Department
that from forty to fifty British ships
would be on duty from the Azores to the
British Isles, where, under present
plans, the flight will end. American
d%estrOyers will patrol the course from
St. Johns, NE, to the Azores. From
fifty to sixty of the craft will be used
and they will be stationed at intervals
of less than two hundred miles. With
reasonably good weather, the planes
could ride on the water while minor
repairs were being made to the motors.
Along the greater part of the course
there will be an almost continuous
stream of army transports going to
and returning from France and these
vessels will form additional safeguardfor
the crews of the machines in the event of
accidents forcing any of the craft to de-
Scend. Under present conditions there
will be five men in the crew of each of
the two or three planes to make the
start. Besides the navigating officers in
command, there will be two pilots, a radio
operator and a mechanician. Later how
ever it may be decided to add an addi-
tional pilot. AS the result Of recent ex-
periments with radio telephones, some
naval officers believe that it will be pos
sible for the planes to be in %communica-
ton with the shore throughout the flight,
and each boat also will be equipped with
wireless outfits, SO as to maintain contact
with the ~patrolling d%estroyers and pass
ing transports or other vessels.

a final consultation with representatives
OF all parties at which an agreement was
reached as to the attitude to be adopted
IN the negotiations with allied represen-
tatlves here. 1t seems that the senti-
ment of the Germans is favourable to a

London, April 2nd.-Questioned in the
House of Commons today as to why the
American troops did not cooperate with
the Japanese in the fighting at Blagovest-
chenck, Siberia, Mr.. Winston Churchill
replied that the American Commander
said that the force which was attacking
the Japanese might be one of Insured
tionary Russian peasants who were mis-
taken for Bolsheviki. Mr.. Churchill
added that there was no doubt that the
force which attacked the Japanese was
a powerful and we'll armed Bolshev1ki

Paris, Apl. Bird The Council of -Four
has virtually decided according to in
formation from French sources, that
the left bank of the Rhine will be neu-

and Belgian troops will hold this terri
tory, the United States claiming it to
be impossible to leave American troops
in Europe after the signature of the
peace treaty and Great Britain having
insufficient effective troops to maintain
garrisons along the Rhine. 1t is sur
missed that the visit of King Albert of
Belgium to Paris was not u~nconnected
with the share that Belgian troops will
be asked to undertake in this territory.
