POSITIONS SECURED FOR
SOLDIERS and SAILORS.
BUSINESS CONCERNS THAT RE-EMPLOY
FORMER EMPLOYEES TO Be CIV
EN- HANDSOME CITATION.

War Department
Washington, d. G.
June %, 1919.
Editor of Sentinel,
NV dear Sir:
Doubtless you know our work
of getting positions for discharg-
ed soldiers and sailors has got
ten away to a good start. All
over the United States the War
Department is securing the
hearty cooperation of all, the
welfare services, chambers Of
commerce, labor unions, employ
ers associations, and many natl
onal, state and civic bodies, all
of whom are at liberty to use
the machinery of the United
States Employment Service to-
wards hooking up the discharg-
ed man of the Army and Navy
with a good job.
We have also had the patriotic
assistance of employers, cor
porations, firms. and individuals.
in the matter of reinstating their
old men in the jobs they held be-
fore they went to war. | may
add that between 70 per cent and
80 per cent of our honorable dis
charged soldiers and sailors have
the offer of their pre-war jobs.
The hero of today is not to be-
come the hobo of tomorrow.
In return for this the War and
Navy Departments have prepar-
ed a handsome citation which is
issued to all those employers
who have assured the depart
ments that they will gladly re-
employ everybody who formerly
worked with them and left to
serve in the Army or Navy dur,
ing the great war. This citation
carries with it permission for the
holder to. display on his firms
service flag the shield of the I'M
tied States as a symbol that he
will fulfill his obligations to the
men who went to the defence of
the country at the time of it's
peril.
The citation is signed by the
Secretary of War, the Secretary
of the Navy, and myself, assis-
tance to the Secretary of War.
1t is handsomely engraved and
engrossed with the name of the
recipient. There are no strings
to it. All we ask is that the en-
ployer write an application for
such a citation. stating that he
will reemploy his old service men,
aud address me in care of the
War Department. Washington,
d. C.
The newspapers of many cities
at the, outbreake of the war
published the names of those
patriotic employers who agreed
to retain their places for their
men who enlisted or were draf-
ted. 1t occurs to me now that
it would be a very fine and pat
riotic act if at this time, with
victory won, the newspapers
publish the names of those firms
and individuals in their neigh
borhood who are taking back
honorably discharged service
men, whether they agreed to or
not when the war began.
Very turly yours.
Arthur Woods,
Assistant to the Secretary.
Any honorable discharged sold

GETTING READY FOR
DECENNIAL CENSUS
FORCE OF $1,000 EMPLOYEES WILL Be
NEEDED MUST Be DONE in
FEW WEEKS.

tdhS SCOck. 10 put IL more
clearly, preparations are vel
along for the fourteenth decen
nial census, to be taken in 1920.
The last Congress granted ar
appropriation for the work. and
a force of several hundred clerks
is busy in the Census Bureau
making the necessary prepara.
tons for the huge task, which
must be accomplished in a few
weeks.
For this immense job, the
bureaus regular force of about
four hundred employees will be
expanded to $4,000 or more.
The appropriation which Con,
gress has made for the work is
$40, 500, 900. This amount covers
also the ordinary expenses Of
the bureau during 1919.
The census will include not
only enumeration of the popula-
ton of the United States, contin-
entail and insular, but also a can
vass of the agricultural, manu-
featuring, mining and quarry,
oil and gas and other interests
for all the states as well as for
the District of Columbia. Alaska,
Hawaii. Porto Rico. Guam.
Samoa and the Canal Zone.
For the purposes Of the emu
meration. the country has been
divided into S7S supervisory dis
tricts, with a supervisor for each,
to whom about $1,000 enumera-
tors will report.
The actual enumeration will be
completed in a few weeks, al
through it will be several months
before results will begin to be
known. Nevertheless, the fig
ures will be available much ear
lier for the 1920 census than
was the case in 1910. because
this time the census will be as Of
january. |. instead of April rs, as
in 1910. The change was made
because it is believed the agri-
cultural census will be more re-
liable on the earlier date.
Chef interest in the census.
of course, will be in the popula-
ton, but a great many interests
require much more detailed in
formation, such as the ratio of
males and females, distribution,
degree of illiteracy, proportion
of whites and blacks. proportion
of foreign born to native popula-
ton and many other facts that
can be learned only through Un-
Gle Sans decennial stock tax
ing" The 1920 census is certain
to bring out many changes. for
the past decade has been one of
wonderful growth and develop
ment.
Next to population. the great
est interest will be in the census
of agriculture. This will show
the number and acreage of farms
in the country and in each state
and county; the number of acres
of improved land; value of farms
and the stocks of machinery
number and kind of live stock.
and practically every detail Of
information relating to agricul-
ture.
The census of manufactures is
taken every five years, unlike
the other inquiries. This will be
of unusual interest this time be
cause the last census was taken
in 1914, when the world was al
peace. Since then Che greatest
war in history has been fought
and America has accomplished
an industrial expansion that ]:
unparalleled. This census
therefore, covering the calendar
wear 1919, will present stats
tical portrayal of the Transition
of American industries from
peace to war and from war bacl
to q peace basis.

The plot, according to the sheriff s
information, was conceived by seven
inmates.
1t was planned that heavily armed
accomplices should come to the jail
during visiting hours, bringing in for
the ring leaders, o basket too large te
pass through the bars. This would
necessitate opening the door leading to
the ward occupied by the conspirators.
Then it was planned that the conspira-
tors overpower the guards, other ac.
completes raiding the jail offices and
seizing keys TO the cell blocks, the
sheriff was told.
Destruction Of telephone communica.
tion and seizure Of riot guns and other
weapons to hinder successful pursuit

READY TO SQUECH
FILTBUSTER ATTEMPT
Two Petitions Were Ready to Be Pre-
sented in Senate When Talk on
Treaty Became Too
Prolix.

Washington. d. c., Nov l3-Two
petitions to invoke the Senate clo-
ture rule to throttle unlimited debate
on the peace treaty, which administra-
tion senators say has assumed the as
pect Of flibuster, were reported to-
day for submission to the Senate
should II become necessary. The move
to invoke the cloture rule came after
two days had been consumed in speech
making without action on the second
foreign relations committee reservation
dealing with article 10 Of the league Of
nations covenant, which technically
was before the Senate for action.
The first petition for the cloture was
circulated by the Democrats and they
were followed by the mild reservations
ist group of the Republicans which re-
suited in the preparation of two pc
titions. As II further aid toward fore
ing action on the reservations night
sessions of the Senate were agreed
upon, starting tonight.
Under the cloture rule no senator
could speak more than one hour until
vote on ratification had been reached
The cloture rule was adopted in
March, 1917, after the armed neu-
traity bill had been killed in the clos.
ING hours Of the previous session by a
ffbuster, which provoked President
Wilson to refer in speech to the sit
tie group Of wilful men, blocking SEN
ate action The rule~has never been
invoked. A petition was started once
to enforce the cloture but before it
reached a vote the opposition col
lapsed.
