As soon ns tlm army re turns our American transport', we will have weekly service from New York to Valparaiso on fine passenger liners through the Panama canal. "Good liner service between Val paraiso and Seattle, with calls at nil thel Important Pacific ports and also be tween San Francisco and New York will be assured and American lines already established in this field will be supple mented where required. Finally, and most Important, there will be n line from New York to the ports of Brazil 'and the Itiver Plate.

SEEKS JOBS FOR MORE SOLDIERS Return of 79th Division Causes Organization to Redouble Efforts for Men The drive of the Knights of Colum bus to get work for discharged soldiers, sailors and marines is meeting with great success. Many Seventy-ninth Division men. anticipating an early re lease from the service, have made ap plication for work nnd special efforts i will be made to accomodate them. The headquarters of the drive Is at 1430 South Penn Square, with John V. I.oughney in charge. I The ex-service men put an almost J childish confidence in the Knights of I Columbia. Into the office they come, sign their names And so out ngain in perfect confidence that their trouble I are over. And generally they are right. j for an almost universal success is meet I ing the efforts of the organization. Now that the Seventy-ninth Division parade question is definitely settled these men will be thrown upon the labor market more quickly than had been anticipated, so that the result has been to spur the Knights of Columbus on to renewed enorts in tneir campaiKu. It is true that many men of the Twenty eighth Division are still out of work, but it is the Seventy-ninth that is proving the vital problem for the pres ent. The aim of the Knights of Columbus is to ask every employer in the city to help in this noble work. The organiza tion Itself has nothing to sell. The service is absolutely free to the employ er as it is to the men. The leaders of the drive want to prove to the employers of the city that the discharged soldier U a worker and is as worthy of the confidence of his civilian boss as he was of his country's confidence during bis period of military service. "Industry today needs men who can mnke good." said Mr. T.oughney. "and surely the bovs who have rendered such splendid service to their country nnd brought glory nnd victory to its banner cannot fail in making good. The man, the job and production are the big things today. Let us bring them to gether by doing away with unemploy ment."

June 4. (By A. P.) Au thorities of the American, British and Belgian armies of occupation regard ac tivities looking to the establishment of a Rhenish republic as a result of French intrigue, and are themselves taking a strictly neutral attitude, according to the Elberfcld correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger. "It is believed that France is trying to gain by roundabout means what she was unable to force President ilson to roncede the annexation of the left bank of the Rhine," the correspondent declares. "The Americans and British, however, are freely permitting counter efforts on the part of Germany, which are not permitted in districts occupied by the French. The upper Rhine dis trict would not know of the existence of a new republic but for the Centrist newspapers at Aix-la-ChapclleandCre-feld. There is no desire for a republic from Bingen northward, and the whole northern section of the Rhine province is completely loyal to Germany."

Herbert H. As qulth, British premier a't the outbreak of the war, replying in a speech yester day to criticisms made by Viscount French, the first commander of -the British forces in France, in his book concerning the government In the early days nf the war. said that nrior to the visit to France of Earl Kitchener the Intended movement of Lord French had filled the cabinet with consternation. The movements, the former nremler added, would have had, in the Judgment of the cabinet, tho effect of leaving the French army in the lurch in the mo ment of supreme need. This conster nation, Mr. Asqulth declared, was shared by the French Government. In reply to the charge of Lord French that he was not supported by the gov ernment in the Rupply of munitions, the former premier read a letter he received-from Lord French at the time of the formation of the coalition govern ment. In the letter. Lord French said : "I am sure that In the whole history of the war no general in the field has ever bens helped In a difficult task by the head of his government ns I have been supported and strengthened by your unfailing sympathy and encour agement." The former nremler read a passage irom a report made by Lord Kitchener to him immediately nfter the formation of the coalition government in 101 5, in which Kitchener said: "I talked today with General French, who authorized me to tell you that the present supply of ammunition will be as much as he will be able to use over the next forward movement." Mr. Asquith added that after the in troduction Of high explosive shells. Lord French on November (! asked for 50 per cent shrapnel and BO per cent high Explosive, but a week later he tcle cranhed that the proportion of lilch explosive should be 25, not 50 per cent, Worth From have just i tions from upstalrs MonTues. or Wed. land Pay Save $2 GEOBOETTE CREPE sketched.
