EMPLOYMENT Fca THE DISABLED.
The Federal Board for Vocational Edu-
cation Aids in Placing of Men.

Washington, D. G., Aug. l2.-The fed
eral board for vocational education does
not attempt to place in employment dis
charged soldiers who have minor voca.
tional handicaps; these are referred TO
federal or state employment agencies.
The board does place disabled men who
have completed courses Of training, or
those whose handicaps necessitate a try
out in actual employment in order to
prove the need for training During a
vacation period the board finds en-
ployment for the men in training. The
placement section also has the oversight
of disabled men placed in the trade for
their training. The federal board has
placed up to date l4,699 men, some after
training and some without training being
necessary. The placement section of the
federal board has been organized so as
to reach every part II the country either
directly through its own agents or
through other agencies working in co.
operation with them Every disabled
man placed by the board is followed up
at least once to make sure that the ar
rangement Is satisfactory to both the
employer and empl0ye.

PEACE CONFERENCE
FEARS MORE LAXITY
If Rumania Is Not Forced to
Live Up to Terms of
Armistice

Paris, Aug. II (By the Associated
Press There is no indication here that
any member of the supreme council of
the peace conference desires to have re-
lations with the Hungarian government
set up by Archduke Joseph before re-
port is received relative to its establish
ment from allied representatives. The
opinion is general here that Rumania
must be required to live up to the ar
mistice agreement Otherwise, allied
states and worse still, enemy states,
would be encouraged to disregard the
terms of the peace treaty.
Nicholas Misu of the Rumanian peace
delegation conferred with M, Benes, one
Of the Czecho- Slovakian delegates to-day
and assured him Rumania was taking
only such supplies as are necessary for
her army and expects to account fully to
the allies for everything so that repa-
ration claims may be equitably settled.

STRUGGLE FOR LABOR LEADERSHIP
OF Situation in Winnipeg Is Getting to
Be Serious.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Aug. ia con.
fiict is in progress here between union
labor men over the question whether the
American Federation of Labor, the Do
minion Labor congress or one big union
shall control labor organizations in Win
nipeg. The struggle is the outcome of
the general strike which took place here
in May and June, involving labor and
capital throughout the dominion.
A short time ago the Winnipeg Trades
and Labor council voted to join one big
union by vote said to be s,s4l to 705,
As a result of this action, the Domin-
ion Labor congress cancelled the charter
of the Winnipeg Trades and Labor coun.
ell and announced that an effort would
be made to form a new council in Win
nipeg to include the local organizations
opposed to the one big union plan.
Among the organizations which rejected
this idea Of having one big union were
the railroad brotherhoods and the Amer.
lean Federation of Labor
Some Canadian newspapers assert that
the split in the labor ranks was precipi-
tated by the alien element and say that
the one big union organized at Calgary
demanded that the government release
all political prisoners" interned during
the war Federal ministers have charged
that heavy percentage of the one big
union membership was composed of
aliens.
Ernest Robinson, secretary of the Win
nipeg Trades and Labor council, has an
nounced that the one big union will i'm
mediately supply charters to the local
unions to take the place of those revoked
by the American Federation of Labor.
Winnipeg labor leaders supporting the
one big union have promised TO support
the movement to organize similar unions
in every city in the dominion.

AMERICAN REGIMENT
GIVEN CRIOX DE GUERRE
Officers of 18th Infantry Of First Division
Now Believe That Authority Will
Soon Be Given from Washington
to Wear the Fouragere

With the American Forces in Germany
Aug ii Correspondence Of the Associat-
ed Press decorations bestowed re-
Gently upon the 2Sth infantry, first di-
vision, by Marshal Petain included the
second regimental award of the eroix de
guerre with palm, which, in the French
army, entitle the officers and men of the
regiment TO wear the fouragere. Amer
lean officers say they believe it quite
probable that authority for the unit to
wear the shoulder cord viii be fortheom-
ing from Washington in the near future.
All infantry regiments of the first di-
vision have now received the croix de
guerre, with palm, the 10th and the Goth
infantry being decorated this week at
ceremonies in Coblenz. The 18th infan-
try received the award some time ago.
The 10th, 18th and 18th artillery regi-
ments of the third division also received
from Marshal Petain collective citations
amounting to the decoration of the col
ors of those regiments with the croix de
guerre with gold star. The regimental
colors were not available for the occa-
sion, as they had not been brought back
from Paris where they were used in the
victory parade on July ii.
At the ceremonies in Coblenz the high
est award of commander of the Legion
of Honor was received from Marshal Pc
tain by Major General Edward T Nc
Glachlin, formerly acting commander Of
the American forces in Germany; and
Brigadier General Frank Il, Bamford Of
the first division. The title of officer of
the Legion of Honor was also bestowed
upon Major General Robert L. Howe,
Brigadier General Fred W. Sladen, Col.
onel Halstead Dorey and Colonel Frank
j. Morrow, all of the third division.

GERMANS ARE
GAMBLING MUCH
Partly Due to High Living
of Individuals Who Made
Fortunes in the War
BAD MANNHEIM is
SECOND MONTE CARLO
One Woman Had to Auction
Off Clothes and Valuables
to Pay Hotel Bill

Frankfurt, Aug. ii Correspondence Of
the Associated Press Gambling is on
the increase throughout Germany to an
alarming extent, according to German
newspapers. This is said to be due part
ly to the high living Of individuals who
made fortunes during the war by govern
ment contracts or otherwise. At Bad
Nauheim, three gambling houses have
been running day and night for some
time and the German newspapers refer
to the place as second Monte Carlo.
Regarding conditions at Bad Nauheim,
the Frankfurter Zeitung recently de.
clared "The demoralizing effect of the
three gambling resorts erected in Bad
Nauheim during the period of the sol.
diers' council, now is seen in its grossest
form. Following the scene of week
ago when a summer guest drew his re-
volver in the center of the gambling hall
at the Villa Heinemann after losing 80
900 marks in an hour, another guest,
said to be from Frankfurt, was found
murdered in one of the parks. The in
vestigating committee summoned from
Giessen asserted that the murder had
been committed by thief. The muir
dered man had won 10000 marks at the
Club 1919" in the Grand hotel on the
night he was killed on the way to his
quarters he was shot in the back and all
his money stolen.
AT the Bristol hotel IL is said that a
German woman recently lost $4,000
marks by gambling, and could not pay
her hotel bill, so that she was obliged to
auction her clothing and valuabes. An.
other man from Frankfurt lost $4,000
marks one Sunday afternoon at the Villa
Heinemann and few days before an
other guest lost as much as 100000
marks"

was its responsibility for social unrest

suggested in America of stamping goods
with factory prices and establishing a
system for fixing prices. He admitted
that the government had no alternative
but to confess it was powerless under
