%NON-TRAINED MEN
OF ARMY MAY FIT
SELVES FOR WORK

: Washington, March ..17.l-'The sit
uation in this country at the present
time when hundreds Of thousands of
able-bodied men are returning to the
United States discharged from the
armies and are entering the field OF
employment, causes the friends of the
disabled soldier to give serious atten-
ton to the condition confronting these
incapacitated men, said DR.. Charles
A. Prosser, director of the federal
board for vocational education today.
DR.. Prosser is head Of the work Of
re-education and readapting to civil
conditions the men who have become
quire retraining.
THE competition in the field of
employment Is becoming increasingly
acute, and it is expected to become
more So. In this state OF affairs, it is
perfectly plain that the man handi-
capped by injury, and not able to do
any n thing we'll, is inevitably going
to suffer. A great many of the dis
abled men have returned and are now
employed at jobs which require. no
skill. noN particular knowledge, and
are, in feet, of no particular value,
being largely expressions Of either
local or community patriotism, or the
desire of patriotic individuals to show
their appreciation to these disabled
men by furnishing employment. which
at best is unskilled and has no per-
.manent foundation or. real value.
Whether or not these jobs will last is
the question; the general opinion is
that they will not. There is always q
surplus of unskil1ed men. There is
hardly ever a surplus of well trained
men In any particular line of>creative
~endeavor.
1T the federal board for vocational
education can get these disabled men
who have taken on employments of
the sort, and the people who are af-
fording employment Of this sort to
them. to see the value Of specialized
education, and what an insurance it
is to the man so trained they will
have accomplished fully one Of the
phases Of retaining the disabled,
which at present gives us most con-
Germ. The. federal government allows
these men who " accepted for re-
training $65 a month support fund
while taking the course, all expenses
are paid and q liberal allowance is
made to his family or dependents
while he is undergoing this course.
When he has qualified in the line
which he has undertaken, the place
ment division Of the federal board
will have found for him employment,
and he will be indicted therein. The
over-shadowing fear Of unemploy-
ment has been lifted fromlhis heart,
and he is back in industry again as
good a man in his particular line al
any man who has not been injured

Mexico city, March 17.-Fearing
that the mining crisis now threaten

miners. representatives Of this trade

marriages between Yankee boys and French girls have already taken place somewhere in France,7 and utters the gloomy prediction that there will be more of them before all the soldiers come home
 She admits she is jealous, does this nurse, after her year and a half in France, but she praises her rival as a woman, as a housekeeper, nome mixer and mother and as a fighter.
 Here is her letter in part:
 French Women Delightful
 You seem rather incredulous about so many of our American boys having married French women. Why, I won der? l don't see any reason why they should not. The French woman is a delightful creature. Even we American and Englich nurses can see that, much as We should like at times to see other wise, for we're still human and still feminine, and it goes rather hard with us to see some of the finest of our sol dier lads marrying pretty little Alines, Maries and Ninettes.
 We think we could find better mates for them. and some of us think that few could be found without even~going outside of France. But still they're being captivated-we call it captured when we talk among ourselves-by the French women. Louise told me last night that she had it on positive au- thority that about one hundred thou sand American soldiers and sailors had married French women over here!
 Still l don't blame the boys. These girls are really almost irresistible, and they understand the art of Irritation better when they are born than the average American woman understands it after her fourth divorce They know how to dress, too, to bring out the very ittlest as well the the greatest of their charms. And they know how to talk to our soldiers with their eyes and hands and shoulders better than we Americans can talk to them in their own United States. They speak a unl- versal language-the language of ap- peal-and they never fail to make themselves understood.
 She's All French, Too Resides al lthis more or less super ficial charm, the French woman is tru- ly woman. They make wonderful wives and mothers. I've been here long enough to see that. The ymake even better wives and mothers than they make sweethearts. They're wonderful housekeepers, although. except among the upper classes, they do run to too much furniture in their parlors and too much garlic in their Kitchen to suit my plain tastes. But how they do un- derstand food conservation and econ omyi MT. Hoover could learn quite a few lessons from them if he cares to study them.
