Give Ex-Soldiers Their Old Jobs! !!

To the Editor Of The Star:
have read with interest the several
communications of recent date relative
to our boys securing their old posi-
tions after having been demobilized.
I know of several cases where worthy
young men were compelled to give up
their positions and enter the military
service, and after having returned to
their homes went to secure their po-
sitions to be told that they had none
or that their names could be placed
on the eligible list OF the Civil Serv-
ice Commission and they could wait to
be reinstated in some other depart
ment These men had been led to be-
lieve that they would be reinstated in
their old positions on their return
home, and had been advised also that
an executive order had been issued by
the President to that effect.
l believe that when a man gives up
his position and enters the service for
his country there should be no doubt
about his being reinstated on his re-
turn, and I think this is the greatest
injustice that the country could pos
sibly show to these noble boys who
have gone to the front to restore
peace and liberty to our country and
to the world. I am. ashamed that such
conditions are allowed to prevail. If
the government can compel the men
who have given the best years OF their
lives to its service to go to the front
II seems to me that the least that
could be expected in return would be
to restore them to their former posi-.
tions There has been SO much SAID
about the part the women have played
in this great war and yet they were
not willing to fill these positions while
our boys were gone to do their nght-
ing unless they could hold them per-
manently.
enter the service Of their country 1t
should also draft women to fill these
nositions in their absence with the
understanding that on the return or
the men their positions would De
restored to them. According TO my
mind this is not an honorable deal for
a great country like this to give the
men VINO have made such q great sac
rifice. / am also inclined to believe
that there is some favoritism display
ed on the part of the chiefs OF the re-
spective bureaus. and many Women
have ingratiated themselves with
their superiors in order to hold these
nositions. 1 ask you in the name OF
Justice. is 1T an honest deal!
In my mind it lis never too late to
right a wrong, and 1 hope the neaos
This yery serious matter brought to
their attention and that II necessary
an executive order will be issued so
that our boys will be given fair treat
ment and justice. ! am sure our
President would not allow such things
to occur il the facts were brought
~ his attention, but I feel sure the
matter could be adjusted If the cabi-
net officers would issue the order IN
the RESPECTIVE departments.

Warning to Governments.

1.-The governments now associated
in conference to effect lasting peace
among the nations are deeply dis
turbed. by the news which comes to
them OF the many instances in which
armed force Is being made use of in
many parts of Europe and the east to
gain possession Of territory the right
fu1 claim to which the peace CONFER
ence Is to be asked to determine.
They deem 1t their duty to utter a
solemn warning that possession gain
ed by force will seriously prejudice
the claims of those who use this
means. 1t will create the presumption
that those who employ force doubt the
justice and validity of their claims,
and purpose to substitute possession
for proof of right and set up sover-
eighty by coercion rather than by
racial or national preference and
natural historical association. They
thus put cloud upon every evidence
of title they may afterward allege,
and indicate their distrust of the con-
ference itself.
Nothing but the most unfortunate
results can ensue. If they expect
justice, they must refrain from force
and place their claims in unclouded
good faith in the hands of ths confer
ence Of peace
The session will be resumed at 3
o'clock this afternoon"
