NATION’S DUTY TO HER FIGHTING MEN

Return Them to Suitable Employment After Their Discharge From Service. fflBALWOMKES ACTUM

All Lines of Effort Shoo to Be Organteed and Every Opportunity GWen Hen to Settle Damn In

Civil Life Contented. By LEONARD WOOD.

Major General Commanding Central Department. United States Army. Appreciation of tbe wort done by cor aoMlerr. tailor* and Marines In tbe great war can best be shown by active meararrs to return them to ctdtable dtU rarployment upon their dterhargr from aervlce. It Is a tlonal duty and one not to be shirked by a nation that stands for justice and square dealing. Oor soldiers were sent to their training camps—«' battle line—with every demonstration of a nation's appreciation of the aacriBce that these men were willing to make. Now that the active operations of the war are »uspeeded we are In-

clined to lose interest In those who |

aside our sacceas possible. Thi* I* the time for the nation to show that It nr demands and appreciates tbe sacTiftrcs srhieh oor men srOltogly made when they »n*wered the can fur na-

tional seevlce.

The i.000.000 men Inducted Into the service, lesa the dead, are being retimed to their borne*. We must organize all liner of effort so that every possible opportunity will be given them to settle down happily contented In civil life. Some of them we sill find a bit difficult to band!.-, and we roust have considerable patience with them. They have been through a b« expert etc Some are a bit un.-eawcal le in a way. and perhaps it *s hard for them to settle dawn. Ambltlan Is A ouaed. In seeing that the: are returned to sellable civil emp'jyment—and by that I nmn employment In which they srfil find content—nt WW will find It at times difficult *o deal with them We mu»* nmember that many of these men. before going for thr great veiltore, had never »>eeti far fn*ro home, had never seen the Mg things of life, hud tiever had the opportunity «rf fi.>itng them -.vrs. Tnring their aerrhe in tbe smj ’he, found out that all men were mjuu! except a- dlstlngutshed one from tb‘ other by such characteristics as physique education and character. They discovered that men who are loyal, attentive to duty, alway* atrtving to do more than required, stood out nuemg tbrtr tel Iowa and were marked for promotion. Naturally many of them two* *ee that their former employment will no? gl»*then: t lie opportunities for advanceBire*. - hlcb they have come to prize, wad for that reason they want a change. They want a kuwl <»f .-mpb-y-•neat which offers o|>portun1tles for

promotion. Many snch men are fitted for form* of eiwptoymetit which offer this advantage, and rbey mutt he given : the opportunity to try t" make good In tbe lines oi endeavor which they elect to follow. It is not charity to give these men the opportunities for which they strive. It is justice. Others are not mentally equipped to take advan nige of such opportunities if offered, and with these we will find It more difficult to deal. They must be reasoned with, and dir 'ted. If possible. Into tbe kind of employment best suit-

ed to their characteristic*.

We will find many bf the men have temporarily bwt efiklency In the line* of employment which they followed before entering the service, hut for that res win alone they must not be deprived of the opportunity to regain their efficiency In those line*, nor can they be offered reduced wages during thi* pe-

riod.

Civs Them Square Deal.

Oor soldier*, sailors and marine* offered themselves for the great ud- ' venture. Many of them have been through tbe great adventure, in which they offered their lives, to the end that ! Justice might prevail and the world ! , be made safe to live In. Those who I did not come face to face with the ! peat adventure revert he! e*» were ready to do so. and It w»* through no

This beetle and It* ’ “slogs' are no well known that no descriptioo 1* necessary here. Tbe range of this pea cover* a large portion of the Culled State*, but It l* not found extensively or In especially injurious cumbers near the Rocky incun tains. It abound* from New England and Canada to Florida, westward to Texas, and In tbe northern Facific region, where It has become troublesome only recently. Both the “slugs' (the young, or larvae), and the beetle* (adults) feed upon tbe polct® plants. After passing the wiute ’be ground, tbe beetles usually appear at about tbe same time as the potato plants, lay tbclr eggs, end continue feeding. They often destroy small area*, especially those grown for garden purpose*. When tbe “slog*" of the first crop begin their work they usually finish up that begun by the overwintered beetles, leaving only here stem*, which become dry and black. After exhausting the potato, the beetles attack eggplant and other j (tent* of the potato family. Including ; tomato, ground cherry, jinpsoc weed. I and related weeds. In the most nortb- ; era range of this insect there is pmbsbly only one generation a year, but ; two generations and a partial third oc-
