Washington Boy
Was Real Hero

The story of how one of Wash
ington's sons won the Distinguish
ed Service Cross and "Croix de
Guerre" in France during the
World War was related by F. L.
Pruitt, State Commander of the
Veterans Of Foreign Wars. The
scene was on the drive of the ad-
vancing Americans in the Bots de
Fays offensive on the German
front where America had amass-
ed a fighting army that was des-
tined to demonstrate the invinci-
bility of American troops over
their more experienced enemy. Or
ders had come to each Division
which participated in the struggle,
to take certain detectives along
their entire front. The Fourth Di
vision, arter hard fighting, In
which they had sustained heavy
losses, arrived at their destination
late in the afternoon. The terrain
was rough for the most part, with
scattered fields and large areas of
forests. much of which had been de
nuded by heavy fire from the enc
my. The Fourth Division had sur
mounted its many difficulties but
the Division of its left found the
going extremely tough with unex
pected resistance from the shock
troops of central powers; sd thhat
it was held UP in it's advance. This
Division had sent word back to
headquarters asking for a dolling
barrage so that 1t could wipe out
machine gun nests and attain its
place in the advance.
Barrage Came
The barrage came over, but in
stead of covering the advance of
the advance of the Division, was
Falling short and tapping over on
the territory so hardly won by the
Fourth Division. If it continued
throwing shells upon its own men,
the survivors would be wiped out
by their own artillery.
Lying in safe position in the
hardly-won area, Private Roy E.
Mathews of Seattle, a member of
the 5Sth Infantry, took in at a
glance what was happening and the
danger to his comrads, many of
whom were already wounded more
or less severely.
According to Commander Pruitt
this brave boy arose and rushed
| with all speed toward his cammand
In the rear of the battle line, dodg-
ing shell fire and every conceivable
difficulty to reach his regimenta
commanding officer and warn hin
of the danger.
How he ever got through the
heavy barrage will always remain
a mystery, but the artillery com
mnder was soon made aware of hi
mistake and the entire Fourth Di
vision saved from suffering terrible
losses by our own artillery.

BREAD OF CHARITY

There is something humiliatiug in the spectacle of more than fifty returned men soliciting aims on the streets of Vancouver. And it does not improve the situation to learn that they have been threatened with jail, because they refused to promise they would not continue doing so. It is bad enough for anyone who has never seen service, to have to beg. It is worse, when men who have worn the uniform, are reduced to such an extremity. Today, millions of dollars are being found to proyide coast defences. Yet, in the admins tration of affairs, enough cannot be obtained, Jr some system be put into effect, that will make it entirely un- necessary for former soldiers to seek the bread of charity.

WPA WORKERS ARE A
 DRAG ON LABOR MARKET

The Federal Government is speni- ing millions Of dollars each month to keep persons on WPA rolls. The purpose is three-fold. to afford an opportunity for those people to earn enough to keep the wolf from tLe door. to aid them in sustaining thaIr morale, and to maintain skill in their various trades.
 The Federal Unemployment Ser vice was established to aid WPA workers to obtain regular jobs in private industries. h this effort, re- ports show the Government is not having the success which was an ticipated. What is the reason?
 During the month of May, 1897, a Cleveland concern. manufacturing machine tools and astronomical iu- struments, sent a questionable 10 some 30O leading manufacturers throughout the country. Answers from 229 firms were received. Near ly 200 reported a shortage of skill ed workers. Of the total number of firms reporting, 1S9 stated that they rarely or never employ men from the WPA, and 1I0 concerns replied that they either have not been ask ed to cooperate with the federal agencies in accepting men from re- lief rolls or have not accepted .cO- operation when such was offered.
 The replies contained such com ment as the following: We will not hire them" Most of these men are not worth a damn" Men on re- lief rolls more than three months are generally unsatisfactory. Men on relief are 10 good-Tuined. Majority either lack skill or have no desire to work" Men on relief rolls have no ambition" 'Reemploy- ment agencies have few men We can use." We find WPA workers are not the class we want to train. '
 A few of the firms said they were trying to cooperate with both the state and federal Unemployment Ser vices. One firm stated that it tried 300 men from the relief rolls bul had been successful in training ouly 35 for it's needs.
 The result of the survey made by the Cleveland manufacturing firm i; causing considerable comment. Some are of the opinion that the Reen- ployment Services generally do not exercise good judgment in selecting men for the particular jobs to be filled.
 Others agree with this criticism and add that the Unemployment az encies are not sufficiently aggressive in selling WPA workers to the man ufacturers, claiming that they are not as careful in selecting men iron the WPA as they are in selecting help from other sources.
 Most observers agree that the prob lem requires not only salesmanshiI of the most persistent kind, but care. full study of the capacities of each employable on the part of the Re employment agencies and personnel departments of the private indus tries. It is conceded that the WPA employees have their part to play in making the program a success by conscientioasly responding to the efforts of the Government to place them in jobs.
