TO PROVIDE, ESPECIALLY,
CLERICAL POSITIONS.
Latest Undertaking Of Chatta-
nooga Chamber of Com
merce for Benefit of ALI.

The latest undertaking of the Chat
tanooga chamber of commerce is the
establishment of free employment
bureau. Although the new agency
has been in existence for only short
time, 1T has already grown to be quite
we'll known among employers as well
as position seekers. In a recent cir
cular gotten out by the association.
all employers of the classes handled
by the chamber bureau are urged to
communicate with the office, stating
their needs. In this manner the bu-
reau will be made a permanent fea-
ture of the work of the chamber OF
commerce. Job hunters are urged to
apply at the bureau.
Practically all classes OF labor is
handled by the bureau except un-
skilled labor. The principal work
of the agency will. however, consist
in providing clerical work. A pretty
considerable list of applicants is on
file at the bureau. On the list are
names of many discharged soldiers,
some OF whom are Chattanoogans,
while others have only recently been
discharged from the service at the
local camp and have decided to re-
main in the city, There are, however,
a still larger humber of civilians who
have applied for positions. A number
of women have also applied for cieri-
cal and stenographic positions.

washington, Feb. 2S.--Sharp diner :
ences or opinion over the league OF

the senate today by Chairman Hitch
cock, OF the foreign relations conf
nittee, and Senator Lodge. Of Massa- :
chusetts, who will be chairman OF
the committee in the next congress
wleu the republicans take control. /.
After Senator Lodge had delivered
q prepared speech before q crowded

Senator Lodge replied that he took
that view, while the committee chair

emphasized the necessity for Fedraft-

FILIBUSTER MAY BLOCK
FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN
REPUBLICANS INSIST On
AN EXTRA SESSION y,
Only Three More Days il
Which to Pass Most Ii6s
portant Measures.

Washington, Feb. 2s.--Possihflity
of a continuation of what apparently
has been an incipient filibustef fr
the senate was seen today, follQrinn
President Wilson's declaration # that
he still adheres to his plan not ,tc
call an extra session of congress un-
til he returns from Paris, badly
in June. f&
Insistence by Republican CHAIRMAN
Will Hays in New York th8t
people elected a republican, &OI4 "
and It should be permitted ~ cr
ton r. Together WITH the Yfews ORE
publican senate leaders, may easily
result in holding UP the fifth, liberty
loan bill, without which administra-
ton leaders frankly admit they cam
not proceed with the financing pro-
gram.
Congress will not permit Secretary
Glass to fix the interest rate on ponds
and the plan for the notes Is new
legislation and must be passed by the
present congress If the notes are TO
be issued.
If filibhster holds this legislation
up, the treasury department will find
itself unable to do its share in raising
the balance of the $4,000, 900
which Secretary Glass has advised
congress will be the total expendi-
lures for the present fiscal year. The
presidents view, it seems, is that II
necessary legislation is not enacted
because republican senators wasted
time by talking about the league OF
nations while democratic senator's, at
his request, kept silent, the blame
will be placed by the people upon the
republicans. The latter. however. re-
tort that the bills which have come
over from the house are highly i'm
portant measures which deserve
plenty of discussion and that they
will not accept blame for their fall
ures. Other bills include the army
and navy and sundry civil bills.
The president is keenly anxious to
have the navy bill go through. this
being the measure concerning the
passage OF which he cabled Secretary
Daniels from France. The army ap-
preparation bill includes the fixing of
the size of the peacetime army and
is highly important.
If these bills do fail of passage,
and with only three more legislative
days TO go, a very modest filibuster
will hold them up, sthe president may
be forced to change his mind as to
the date of the extra session. At any
rate, II is very evident that much of
the senate is not in accord with his
view

SWINDLING KINFOLKS
War Department Calls Attention to q
New System Now in Vogue.

Washington. Feb. 2S.-The war de-
partment issues the following warn
ing:
'The war department will very
greatly appreciate the cooperation
of the newspapers in scotching a con-
temptible swindle that is being prac-
ticed by crooks, with next of kin of
soldiers as victims.
You will recall that early in 1918

mailed in care of general delivery
to enable the soldier to visit his

suggestion of the war department,
had given wide publicity to this
swindle no more cases were reported
during 1918. Now, however, there is
evidence that, demobilization being
under way, the relatives and friends
of soldiers are again being swindled
by sharpers who telegraph in the
name of some soldier for funds with
which to come home.'
1T is perfectly obvious to you that
no discharged soldier needs 10 tele-

of justice will assist the

these swindlers. and the good offices

PARIS INTERESTED in
u. 5. SENATE'S OPINION
EYE ON RECEPTION WILL
SON WILL RECEIVE,
League Of Nations Seems TO
French a Necessity Above
All Party Claims.

i, london Times-Phil Ledger Cop. CabIe.j
Paris. Feb. 2S-A great deal of the
interest Of thetconference Is now TO-
cussed upon the reception which will
be given President Wilson when he
submits the draft of the covenant of
the league Of nations. to the senate.
The discussion which already has
been proceeding there, has been fol-
lowed attentively by the French and
the Temps expresses the earnest
ness on it's desire that the problem oe
the league of nations be not treated
as an internal political question in
the United States. 1t says: ~
'.As seen from our side of the At
lantic, that is to say, from the spot
where the world struggle was borne
and where the worst conflicts of the
future may arise. the league Of ma
tions appears to be universal neces-
sity against which no consideration
of parties can count"
After pointing out that a peace
treaty cannot possibly establish a
perfect or lasting solution, the writer
continues that in order to provide
machinery which is capable Of
adapting the new regime to unex-
pected needs which may arise, the
world must have permanent inter-
national organization with powers Of
inquiry. insolution and execution.
Not National ouesticn.
u II Is niso, he pfoceeds, necessary to
realixe that social crisis nowadays
can not be considered as a purely
national question. He takes the Brit
ish miners demands as an instance
of the effect of the internal labor
conditions upon the whole problem
Of international competition, and
points out that similar difficulties are
likely to arise in all countries and
that it will be necessary to have an
international agreement so as to
establish an equality Of labor condi-
tions between competing nations.
Therefore, he concludes, social peace
will also require its league of ma
tions machinery.
The conference has. of course,
recognized this necessity by forming
a special commission with interna-
tional labor questions. Samuel Com
pers who presides over this commits
sion. in an interview, said the ques-
ton of the length of the working day
had been considered by the commits
sion, and while no decision had been
reached, he felt certain that general
opinion would be in favor of estab-
fishing a maximum eight hour day
Apparently Mr.. Gompers' view is
that the international labor bureau
would not be called upon to inter-
vene in a dispute such as that of the
miners at the present moment, since
they demand working day of six
hours, which certainly is below any
maximum likely to be fixed by inter-
national agreement. The commission
will propose the formation of an In
ternational labor bureau and it has
already drawn up number of draft
resolutions dealing with women and
child labor.

be excluded from the leagues juris-
diction he said.
Declaring the tentative constitu-
ton is open to amendment and
change. being merely a committee re-
port, Senator Lodge said II should be
widely considered and discussed to
give the peace conferees complete
opinions.
"As it stands" he said, there is
serious danger that the very nations
which sign the constitution will
quarrel about the kneaning of the va
rious articles, before a twelve months
have passed. II seems TO have been
very hastily drafted and the result
is crudeness and looseness of ex-
preston.
Before We ratify. the terms and
language must be as exact and as
precise. as free from any possibility
of conflicting interpretations as 1t is
possible to make them"
In detailed criticism of the present
constitutional form, Senator Lodge
said:
I'VE abandon entirely the policy
laid down by Washington in his fare
we'll address and the Monroe doc
trine. In the twinkling OF an eye,
while passion and emotion reign, the
Washington policy is to be entirely
laid aside and we are TO enter on a
permanent and indissoluble alliance.
Under the terms of this league
draft, the Monroe doctrine dis
appears. l have heard 1t said that
the Monroe doctrine is preserved
under article 10: that we do not
abandon the Monroe doctrine. we
merely extend it to all the world. How
anyone can say this. passes my COM
prehension. Under this draft, Amer
lean questions and European ques-
tions and Asian and African ques-
tions are all alike. put within the con-
troll and jurisdiction OF the league"
Criticizing the territorial guaran-
tee provision, Senator Lodge said the
United States would join in the obli-
CATION to maintain all national
boundaries everywhere which. he
said, was "a very grave, a very peril
Gus promise to make" II would re-
quire. he said, constant possession u
fleets and armies, and added:
There is no need of arguing
whether there is to be compulsive
force behind the league. 1t is there In
article 10. absolutely and entirely
in their guarantees"
Senator Lodge questioned whether
the proposed draft really makes for
harmony among nations or will tend
to produce dissension and contro-
versy?"
"We all desire peace" he said.
but in our zeal for peace we must

tions and new and untried conditions
which may lead to fostering war
rather than peace"
