SURPLUS Of LABOR
! NOT SERIOUS YET

board In New York indicate that. a.
though there Is a widespread industrial
depression falling at time Of the year
when In most sections seasonal agri-
cultural employment II at the lowest
ebb. no serious or general unempl0y-
ment has as yet developed. Reports
from most states indicate that unem-
plcyment is slowly increasing. but not
to an extent that constitutes labor
surplus. A .55

tradictory situation" It was said at the
office Of the conference board, s"it Ia
necessary to recall that the industries
Of our country are just emerging from
a period Of intensive operation that
may without exaggeration be called
period Of super-production.
1.-THE labor, therefore, that has been
released. has for the most part drifted
back to the less attractive employme9@
from which It was drawn to the high
wage, intensively operating industries.
and Is not always unemployed even
when 80 reported. In some districts
the back-drift has not as yet been suf-
ficient to make up the loss due to the
wartime migration to Industrial CEN

high German officials held Jobs in
Washington during the war. Willet
told Detective Sergeant O'Leary. The
prisoner made this statement after he
had narrated how he came here and
. what he would have done had his regi-
ment been sent to France.
Il would have led my men to

ful to my own country in many other
ways" WIllet declared. according to

low. SO enlisted as private the first
opportunity got. had no citizenship
did not need any.
Enlisted as Buck Private.
II enlisted as buck private In Al
bany soon after my arrival in this |
country. Within a very short time my |
ability as soldier was recognized and
was promoted.
"My heart was nearly broken when
discovered my regiment probably
would not be sent to France. would
nave died for my country gladly. So
ID days after the armistice, took the
company fund money and left camp.
'Tm telling you this freely because

EXPECT TOURISTS TO
ALLEVIATE EXCHANGE
SITUATION IN FRANCE

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WtREl
Paris, March 10.-The forthcom-
ing tourists season is expected by
France to have considerable effect
toward ameliorating the unfavor-
able condition of French exchange
on America. Nevertheless the ques-
tons of providing transportation
and hotel accommodations here
are causing some misgivings and
hotel keepers generally are be-
wailing the limited means of bring
ing visitors to France.
Dial Pia2, director of the Trans
atlantic company, has expressed
his opinion that the number Of
Americans desiring to visit France
in the coming season will far sur
pass the transportation facilities,
but that this will be relieved by the
putting into service of passenger
vessels now under construction
principally in England before the
French hotels have been organized
to receive the expected influx of
foreign visitors.
The warning that Americans ARE
terribly eXacting' as regards COM
fort in hotels and as to their man
agement is given by Victor Cam
bon, an engineer who knows Amer
lea well. He says:
ut is not only the rich who de-
sire refinement in hotels, but all
Americans.
Mr.. Cambon asserts that. out
side. of Paris and resorts like Vichy,
Nice and Deauville. it is impossi-
BILE to find five good hotels in all
France even if towns like Lyons,
Marseifles, and Rouen are includ-
ed.
"Americans," he adds, "do not
want luxury; all they ask is per-
feet cleanliness, no greasy smells,
comfort and hygiene. Where can
you find that among us? No
where is there very much of it but
everywhere there is one thing, our
cooking. That is certainly much
but, frankly, it is not enough"

REFUSED COMMISSION:
'READS-UP' AS PRIVATE
IN ALBUQUERQUE TROOP

Here's a man who has served
eight years in the regular army,
turned down the opportunity of a
commission in order to sail with
his organization, the Fifteenth cav
airy, to France, was discharged as
first sergeant and is an expert pis-
toll shot and rifleman. Robert e.
Rabbit, ex-soldier, applied to
Capt. II. r. Grille, commander of
the Albuquerque troop of cavalry
for enlistment and "joined up" as
a private.
Commander Grille cites the above
as an example of the way the re-
cruiting OF the Albuquerque unit
of the New Mexico national guard
Is proceeding. He is of the opin-
ion that additional units of the
guard will be organized in Albu-
Guerque and those who enlist in the
first troop stand a chance for pro-
motion when the second unit is
formed. The interest and backing
of the business men of the city is
one of the factors that are making
for the success of the movement.
Those eligible, for enlistment, ac-
ccrding to Captain Grille. are all
able bodied citizens of the United
States between the ages of Is and
S5 He is now recruiting this
troop and those desiring informa-
ton can see him at his office in
