Training Men to Earn a Living.

WYE BELIEVE that the Veterans Bureau at
w last has hit upon the right method of
training ambitious disabled men. We refer to the
recent practice of establishing its own schools
where the only object is to give the former SOL
diers and sailors a thorough training in some
trade profession in the shortest time possible.
Mercenary motives which might influence the
courses at private schools are thus eliminated
Nothing stands in the way except the good inten-
tons OF the veterans themselves-and the majority
OF these are in earnest vocational training
One of the most notable achievements of the
bureau in this line is the school for photographers
which has been installed in one of the vacant tenn

How War started.
The war between the Turks and
the Greeks had its origin in the
desire of the British to eliminate
the Turk. who had played them so
evil a trick in the last war. They
had. indeed. the expectation that in
the end Greece would obtain Con-
stantinople. When France and
Br tain broke over German ques-

ians supported the Turk, while the
return OF Constantine and the exile
Of Nenizelos shook the British plan
TO its foundations.

The Eastern question, which is
the Turkish question, has hedeviled
the peace of Europe for more than
a century. II now enters a new
phase and looking to the distant
future may produce as many wars

The problem OF governmental re-

"I believe there is. Ten years

is to elect the few important Of

nothing to do" And then he sounded
a truism: "Only one girl out of
500 achieves anything like career
on the stage in New York"
There are thousands of girls In
New York today who are facing
ruthless reality. Their anxious feet
beat a daily path to the theatrical
agencies to meet the usual shake
of the head and the cryptic Moth

They clung to the slender hope

In the cheap hotels they link to-
