 As they marched away to battle with flags flying and trumpets blow ing defiance to autocracy, we stood on the curbstone and with tears on our cheeks said: Good bye and God bless you. We'll take care of you when you return" But have we done this?

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 18.--search for Harold s. Forbes, missing Hamil- ton, Ont. city employe, who disap- peared more than three weeks ago, with. s32,O00 of city, money, now centers in Buffalo. An automobile. purchased here in May by Forbes for Mrs. Loran Sears, a Cleveland divorcee, who is believed to be- with him, was found late yesterday after noon in front of 59 Ardmore Place, where Mrs. Sears was a guest for several weeks early in the summer. Her five year old son was with her at the time. The boy, police say. is now being cared for by friends.
 Following the finding. of the machine detectives are investigat- ing places in the. city where Forbes is known to have visited on his fre- quent trips to Buffalo. "

FORMER FIGHTERS
 IN NEED OF WORK
200 in Connecticut Seek to Earn
 Their Way .>

There are 200 exservicemen In Connecticut who have been or will be rehabilltated by the United States government by December S1 and who are seeking work.
 Lieut.. W. H. Holland, employ ment officer of the United States Veterans Bureau, who visited New Britain yesterday, is authority for the foregoing statement. Many of these men, Lieut.. Holland says, live in New Britain. They have been trained by the government and are now capable of giving full days work in return for Q full days wages. Some of them have depend- ents, wives and children, and all the men ask is chance to support them.
 Lieut.. Holland is mechanical en- gineer and was formerly employ ment manager for the American Su- gar Refining Co. in New York. He is capable of judging men, both as to character and ability, and he says: 1T would not recommend a man for a job unless l knew he was capable of filling it. These men are thorough ly trained. We do not call them re- habilitated until they have complet- ed their period of training. They are not released in groups, such as a graduating class, but as individuals or in ones and twos, as they prove that they have reached the point oi employabiity and can hold up theil end in return for the pay they get Il is pitiful to see some of them coming to me begging for jobs so they car earn enough money to support theil families. ;"
 'These men served and they nov | ask only 8 fair chance to properl, employ themselves in lines whereil they have been trained to serve thei employers and society ably.
 l "The veterans bureau can go onl, so far in rehabilitation work. It cal take them and train them up to th 1 point of employability and then l must call upon the various employ ing agencies of the country to carr, them on from that point"
 The Veterans Bureau of Connec ticut is under the supervision o Major Thomas J. Bannigan. It re ports that it is duly appreciative o the splendid cooperation extended t it in behalf of deserving rehabilitat ed veterans,

BALTIMORE JUSTICE

In the wake of the Leopold-Loeb decision in Chicago, comes another of a different texture in Baltimore, where two youths are to be executed for murdering ,jeweler during a holdup.
 When Judge Caverly in Chicago let Leopold and Loeb off with life imprisonment" he suggested that the job of deciding a murder case should be made by more than one judge, saying the responsibility is too great for one man.
 In Baltimore three judges heard the murder case referred to and sentenced the, youngsters to de4h then the full supreme bench of ter judges refused new trial. There wal no lack of judges and apparently nc lack of justice.
