He was certainly out Of luck when he
applied at the New York city re-em-
ployment bureau for soldiers, sailors
and marines at sos Pearl street. In
fact, the ~doughboy did not show him
self n bit particular. Anything that
means room and board quick" he said,
half desperately.
Now, where al h~onorably discharged
soldier is as modest as this, there are
few Of the $500 bureaus under the
jurisdiction of the war department and
Maj Gen. W. G, Ham. where some sort
of a job. can not be found which will
give a fighting man a foothold until
he can look about.
'Valet?" asked the interviewer,
II am a college graduate" answered
the soldier applicant. smiling family.
But ! am not afraid OF hard work.
Anything else?"
Gardener
you bet!' So the erstwhile bach
elor Of arts went off to do odd jobs on
the estate of a New York stock broker.
The other day he called up the bureau
to thank them for the opportunity, be-
cause he and his employer one after
noon had a heart-to-heart talk which
resulted in the afraid of
work being put in his employers Wall
street office at $40 q week Instead OF
$50 a month.
However, some discharged service
men still remain out OF work, and the
war department will not consider its
job complete until each Of these men
has been placed.

BUDAPEST HAS MANY
SORTS OF METAL MONEY

BUDAPEST, Nov, 13.-Many kinds of
money are in circulation In this city.
Blue money, that Is, the money OF the
Austro- Hungarian bank, ie on hand in
very limited quantities. Then there Is
good white money with a ten per cent
discount, and bad white o that Is
worth only one-fifth OF It's face value.
Finally, there is green money, the five
crown notes Of the state savings bank,
with a 80 per cent discount, Curb ex-
changes have been formed where these
moneys change hands in great quanti-
ties.
Budapest, where earlier a newspaper
appeared every hour. is living almost
without newspapers Of its own. The
people satisfy their curiosity from the
Vienna papers which are sold on the
streets by thousands. They were for
hidden for a time but now have been
released, and the news vendors make
tremendous profits and get four and
five crowns for a single copy. The
theaters that have reopened arc cram
med full.
Budapest is slowly beginning to re-
cover and com back to life under the
protection of the Rumanian bayonet.

BRUSSELS FACTORIES
| ARE BEING RFTTTED

BRUSSELS, Nov. 1s.-All Belgium is
returning to work and the country IL
recovering rapidly from the war.
In Brussels factories which were dam
aged during the German occupation are
being fitted with machinery, and some
of them already are turning out their
accustomed produtt to to within a few
per cent Of the prewar capacity.
Production of sugar exceeds the pre-
war tonnage. Glass factories are re-
opening. In the iron and steel mills
many plants have resumed operations,
particularly in the Liege district, where
some of the mills were completely de-
mollshed and others so badly damaged
that entire blast furnaces had to be
rebuilt. Within a year, 1t Is believed,
the most important of these plants will
be operating to capacity.
The cotton trade OF Client also has re-
sumed, and steamers loaded with
American cotton are arriving almost
daily. During the German occupation
all copper fittings were removed from
the machines in the spinning factories
and some Of these have not yet been
replaced.
The linen industry also has taken on
new life, and additional workers are
being employed every week. The ex-
port trade In linen is growing just as
rapidly as the factories can turn out
the finished product.
1t Is in the country districts, how
ever, where one sees the Belgian at his
best. In the vast garden country which
stretches from Brussels to the sea
scarcely a square foot Of ground is left
uncultivated, so anxious are the peo-
| pie to produce their " food, and they
| are working from early morn until late
at night to attain that end,
Apparently there is no scarcity OF
food in Belgium. It is costly in towns
and cities. but in the country the peo-
pie have now gathered their first har-
vest since the war, and are in need OF
| nothing, Even butter Ia being served
in the hotels, and In every house there
is no longer the fear Of starvation
which for so many years made life a
| burden. Many persons are convinced
| that this time next year will see the
| country very well on the way TO. re-

Devasted Area Work.

Abroad the coming OF peace opened
up areas un~belieVably devasted, par
ticularly in the countries in Eastern
Europe, Such was the magnitude Of
the task of administering relief that
for awhile the Red Cross feared that
the funds on hand would be insufficient
to last until this November, The eff
fectiVe work of those directly in charge
of the activities enabled the Red Cross
to wind up more rapidly than had been
anticipated that portion of the work
which was susceptible of being termi-
mated and for which appropriations had
been made on a wartime scale. As a
result there were many savings from
appropriations made and the reports for
the month Of September show that for
the coming year approximately $l4,-
500, 900 will remain and be available out
Of the Sal, O00, 900 turned over by the
war council on Feb. 2S. This sum Of
$14, 500, 600 will be added to the pro-
ceeds OF the camraign this week.
The Red Cross must now complete
It's work for our soldiers and their fami-
lies and round out its wartime pro-
gram. In Europe the needs for aid are
simply without limit. The larger needs
can only be met by the governments
but there is an imperative call for
emergency relief where the processes Of
government are too slow to aid those
suffering acute affliction. The sum
now asked for by the Red Cross viii en-
able this great organization to do a
well proportional piece Of relief work
abroad and carry out at home its actlVi-
ties planned for the new year and fur
nish proper reserves to provide for
emergencies or disasters.
The American people who have re-
sponded so Fundamentally and upon
such a magnificent scale to past APP
| peals of the Red Cross will, | am sure,
be eager again to avail themselves
during the week of the oppor-
tunity to enlist themselves on the rolls
of the Red Cross and thereby ~rededicate
the efforts Of his great organization to
the service of humanity"

Inc Story Is told OF a vicar in Queen
~EliLaoeth's day who left 3 sum Of five
shilhngs per annum with which to nav
the ringers OF his parish IN Gloucester
snire for ringing a peal for two hours on
christmas eve in commemoration Of
the Nativity.
In Staftordshire there is an old be-
quest providing plums for the Christ
mas pudding of every poor family within
a certain radius.
For many years in Berkshire the
vicar OF the parish was the host of the
day on Christmas. After evening serv-
ice the pensioners would go to the
Vicarage, where an entertainment was
given and refreshments of bread,
cheese and beer provided by the win OF
2 member Of the parish who had al
ways enjoyed the gatherings.
A custom which had its origin in the
VIII OF two, sisters caused quite a lot
OF scrambling in a certain town in Eng
land, These two INDECENT ladies had
received word that they should come
NO London to claim an estate. Being
very poor, they set out on foot for their
destination, and when they were almost
mere they were forced to ask for
nourishment at this self-same town.
They were finely treated and reached
London the next morning in time to
successfully carry. out their business
engagement. They were so grateful for
the help they had received at the little
town that in their will they left a codi-
ell which provided for a certain amount
Of bread, cheese and ale to be distri-
buted from the church steps every
Christmas eve. IT was not long until
there were near riots over the distribu-
ton, so that the town council changed
the actual food TO a fund which Is dis
trfbuted annually to the needy people
In the village.
An amusing tale is told of the Lady
Macella, wife Of Sir Roger de Itch
borne, who had been III for some years.
Realizing that she had not long to live,
and knowing, too, the penurious lean
ings of her liege lord, she asked him for
A small bequest. the privilege of leav-
ing a dole of bread to all who should
ask for il annually. The crafty Sir
Roger readily agreed. telling her that
he would dedicate to her charity as
much land as she could walk about
over while a brand Of pine was burn
ing. Thinking his wife was so weak
ened by her long Illness. he thought
himself very clever in providing such
ian arrangement. The doughty old lady
surprised him by several acre-23 to be
exact; for once she got going she
seemed endowed with new strength.
She took to her bed again and before
her death she called all her family to
her side and pronounced a blessing
upon them all so long as the charity
was allowed to stand, and she left
maledictions to the seventh generation
for any who should ever discontinue her
good work. The acres she had ira
versed produced 1900 loaves of bread
for the poor. OF late years it has been
deemed wise to sell the produce and
give the breads equivalent in money.
Two wills of similar ideas were left
by two well-known men of Wales. Each
directed that every Christmas a number
OF prosperous men named in the viii
real wheat loves, take them to the tomb
Of the one who made the will, and after
a prayer take them for distribution to
the homes of the poor.

HUN PAPER CRITICIZES
PRESENT GOVERNMENT

BERLIN. Nov. 1S.-The newspaper
Freiheit sharply criticizes the govern
ment for excluding Karl Kautsky from
the commission which is to publish
documents dealing with pre-war d.
plcmacy. When the revolution started
Kautsky and his wife were assigned to
the task Of ~collating the records on file
In the foreign office. The work was
completed some months ago, but pub
location was withheld. The Freiheit
charges that this 'sidetracking'' oil
Kautsky will create mistrust abroad
because he is one Of the most intel
IcctuaI of the followers OF international
social democracy.

In these modern DAYS. when we have learned a great deal Of the real

which prevailed a century ago, when the more fortunate people in the old
countries had not yet solved the problem Of helping others in the least
conspicuous manner. Their efforts were just a 5 worthy s ours. but the
