LONDON, August 50 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-From
allsparts Of the country come reports

mer officers. with wives and families

Of unemployment is that Of a Cam

Another letter to him from Sir Auck-
land Geddes. president Of the board
Of trade. expresses warm personal
thanks for your loyal and devoted CO.
operation in very dimcult work. King
George bestowed ON him the order Of
commander Of the British empire.
But these credentials have been OF

spair, he says that he Is going to
America next month.
Ex-officers have discoveries that the
business world regards long military
service as disadvantage rather than
IN asset.
