officer can be spared will be con- sidered.
 It is pointed out that a general re- auction in grade of temporary of ficers upon entering the permanent establishment appears probable, and that regulations governing the grade to which the officers are to be ap- pointed and their relative rank can not be formulated until legislation authorizing appointments is enact ed.
 While due credit will be given for surrendered during the war; says the circular "OffIcers cannot expect to re- tain the grades attained by them un- der war conditions"
 The instructions provide that where officers have already filed application for commissions in the regular estab- lishment but now find 1t necessary to ask for discharge owing to the de- lay in action upon their applications. such applications will be retained and considered when the time comes. The statement also gives notice that should legislative authority be unduly delayed for the increase of the regu- lar army to the 500,O00 enlisted
  ment the discharge of all of of fcers holding emergency commissions may become necessary"
 Under the 500, Ooo strength bill sub mitted by the war department but not passed by congress. the officers corps would have totalIed 2S,00o. Unless some such measure is enacted, four months after proclamation of peace by the President. the war army must go out of existence, and only the present regular commissioned personnel. or about 5000 officers, can be retained,

eral Board, so. So 1t will be seen that the work has risen to large pro- portions.
 An interesting phase of the situa- ton is shown by the records compiled as to the places in which the in juries were received, and these show that 51 per cent. of the injuries or disabilities were received in camp; only 1O-2 per cent. received in battle. Other sources are given at - per cent; and not stated 31.1 per cent.
 The work is proceeding as a. busi- ness proposition in which the Govern ment of the United States desires to do exact justice to each man in so far as is humanly possible, and no other idea or aim actuates the Fed seral Board and it's agents in dealing with each particular case.
 There are many men disabled but who believe themselves not so badly injured as to preclude their carrying on work without special training. They have gotten out in civil life and many of them have found after a trial that their handicapS are too great for them. The Federal Board is particularly anxious to get in touch with all such men, and desires them to know that the training is still open to them and the fact that they have gone out in civil life and have dem onstrated the need of this specialized, intensive education does not at all af- feet their rights to obtain it. All such persons should address the Fed eraI Board for Vocational Education at Washington.

IMPRESSIONS OF
 BRITISH ABROAD

London. April 1 - (Correspond- ence of The Associated Press)-The emotions and impressions of British playing the part of conquerorS in Germany appear to differ widely. T find that l am getting the habit of not looking people straight in the face," writes & correspondent Of the Manchester Guardian at Coblenz. There is & kind of fear of something which is just behind their eyes. When a man looks at me across the table in one of the cafes I have to look away, and the only reason can think of for this is because I have won and he has lost. I am afraid of him be- cause he is helpless and cannot hurt me. Many people would think that they would not feel like this, but they would"
 Another point of view is given by correspondent of the Westminster Gazette at Cologne. "The Huns love us dearly" he writes. because we save them from themselves. Also they think us wealthy because we tip walters. Every time I go to the municipal baths there is a crowd of Huns waiting, and I always so in front of them. Makes them furious, but if they would give the attendant half a mark I daresay it wouldn't happen unless did as I saw a proper 'Bairnsfather gerblimey' do. As a, Hun was going into a vacant bathroom he pushed in front with indescribable contempt, and said: "'Eere, 'oo won the bloody war ?''
 Tt does them good occasionally to push them off the pavement, and what fills them with surprise more than anything else is to pull them up by the ear in a train to let a woman have their seat.'
 An Englishman who has visited Bonn, Cologne and other Rhine points tells the Guardian that, although fraternization between the English troops and the German inhabitants is forbidden, there is a good deal of friendly intercourse between them. The Germans say they were deceived concerning the war, but that they would have won If the United States had not been forced into it" The visitor was impressed by hearing fac tory girls were were l eaving work shout Good Night as they passed some English soldiers and he adds: Hun is always as slim as the

RAPID GROWTH
 OF RETAINING

Washington, April 1 On March T. 1919. 39,669 disabled soldiers had been registered with the Federal Board fer Vocational Education for training or placement, or both. Of these the Board had established a working contact with 25,223 cases 2,94s had been placed in employment at that date.
 March 15, 2,771 eases had been commended for training by the dis trict offices of the Board; 2,125 had been approved for training by the central office, and there were GAG cases at the central office in process of approval and pending action of the War Risk Insurance Bureau upon their compensate status.
 Of the first 1,215 approved cases 245 were taking some phase of agri- culture; 274 were taking commercial education in some of it's various branches; 372 were taking industrial and trade courses; 257 had entered upon studies for professional pur- suits; 45 of them were taking eIemen- tary and Americanization courses, and 22 were unclassified.
 The work of the Federal Board is growing steadily, and the volume of business is being handled as prompt ly as is commensurate with thorough ness. The volume of daily business averages S3 cases recommended daily for training, 25 notices daily of men placed in training; average daily mo- tices received from Bureau of War Risk Insurance of new claims filed for compensation, I'll; average num- Der of letters from disabled men and interested orga anizations, 175; avera ge daily applications for compensation for disabled men filed by the Federal Board with the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, 150; and the average daily notices of discharge of disabled men from the War Department to the Fed

EUROPE PREPARES
 FOR AIR SERVICE

London, March 31-CCorrespon- dence Of The Associated Press. )- Just as soon as aircraft regulations have been definitely arranged by the Peace Conference, an airplane pass enger and freight service will be in augurated between the principal cities of England and the continent, it is announced. It will be an experim ent . only insofar as the whims of the pLS lie are concerned, as the fifteen ma chimes to be used all saw more try ing service in night bombing work during the latter months of the war.
 There is no doubt in the minds of the promoters that the project will be popular at first among those who enjoy adventure and are not ham pered by lack of funds but, in mak- ing the announcement of new service, F. Handley Page said that his com pany wanted to put the service purely on a business basis and that charges would not be out of reach of the average merchant who might want goods transported quickly or make quick trips in Europe.
 Announcement of the plans was made simultaneously with the first public exhibition of a passenger carrying airp1ane in London. The plane is one of the night bombers with the fuselage equipped to ac- cOmmodate seventeen passengers. It saw service over German cities but appeared much different on exhibi- ton. Huge glass windows had been cut into the sides of the fuselage showing the saloon fitted with heavily upholstered leather chairs lined on each side of the carriage with a mar row isle between. Space is provided for sixteen passengers inside. The seventeenth one sits outside in the very bow of the machine in the seat formerly occupied by gun ner.
 The machine has a lifting capacity of six and one half tons exclusive of it's own freight, is fitted with four motors, two tractors and two push CTS, and travels at an average speed of 100 miles an hour
 The company which will operate the service already has laid it's plans for getting business and for feeder" service tapping it's main lines of trav- el. E. J. Bray, formerly European traffic representative of the National Railway of Mexico, has become traf- f1c manager of the HandIey Bage

says: Tt is in the suburbs of Bonn and Cologne, in Duren and in the viii lages that one sees the real devasta- tion of these people. The fat man is gone and all adults seem peaked and thin. but the children are really a horrible sight. Those who have been both here and in the occupied parts of France say the state of the French children is worse.
 There seems to be plenty of chill dren but none under three years old. and never once did I see a woman with a baby in her arms. The smallest children are the worst to look at-pallid, hollow-eyed and dreadfulIy feeble. The boys are far less animated than the girls

Ltd, and is at work on purely the traffic end of the enterprise.
 Those interested in the projecl point out that as far as the machines are concerned this is not an expert 1nent and maintain that it is the most ambitious plan yet conceived for commercial use of the airpIane. No especial effort will be made to get great speed but every effort will be made, as the service increases to con struct larger machines which will give passeng gers greater ease and free dom and will be capable of carrying several tons of freight.
