HALTS PUBLIC
BUILDING CAMPAIGN
Will Turn Energies to Placing Pro
fessional and Technical Men in
Civilian Jobs

"The War Department has today
decided to stop the campaign for pub
lie building throughout the United
States," is today announced by Col
onel Arthur Woods, assistant to the
Secretary of War
This decision was taken because
the decrease of unemployment in
many localities has been so marked
that some difficulty is repoprted in
obtaining soldier labor for the normal
industrial operations. 1t is therefore
considered that the further stimula-
ton of public building at this time
would be inadvisable.
The energies devoted in the past to
the stimulation of public building, it
was further decided, will now be tur-
ned particularly into assisting profess
sional and technical men in finding
jobs. The work of placing this class
of ex-soldiers presents unusual diff
culties because the demand for the
high grade of ability possessed by
these men is not at present in such
great demand as ordinary labor. An
active campaign, however, is being
conducted to secure information from
trade association, technical societies,
professional societies and large en-
ployers with a view to finding all pos
sible opportunities for discharged
army men who qualify in this way.

ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION
.r7 S Increases Amendment Civ
for Disabled Mems Vocation
al Training to $14,000,00

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Reccnt
legislation in Congress has increased
the appropriation for the vocational
rehabilitation of the disabled soldiers,
sailors and marines to the sum of $14-
100000. This work is under the
charge of the Federal Board for Vo-
cational education. The allowances
made to the men during the period of
training has been also changed. In
stead of $65 a month a single man
without dependents now receives $50,
and man with dependents, in place
of the SIS he formerly received is
now paid 800 plus the sum allowed
as family allowances.
1t is interesting to note in connec-
ton with this appropriation of $14,-
100000 made recently by Congress
for the reestablishmen in civil life
of disabled e2:-service men, that Can
ada last year gave $32,369,0O0 for a
similar restoration of injured mem
bcrs of the Canadian Expeditionary
forces. More than two dollars for
every one given by the United States
is Canada's estimate of the need. Con-
sidering the difference in our popu-
latlon and our resources our northern
neighbor deserves our admiration.

Many people think that they (the Boil

is removed by the Imprisonment or

that affairs In Russia are naturally in
