V iterative Vocations. - Canvass of tbe Ford Motor Plant Re veals That There Are Thousands of Jobs That Can Be Filled By Crippled Men. Washington, Nov. 5 Plans for train ing1 and placing in remunerative posi tions soldiers and sailors in the war worked out by the United States em ployment service and the federal board for vocational education- are ready to be put into operation. The employment service has instruct ed' its .representatives throughout the country to obtain information that will be helpful in the placement of partially disabled soldiers and sailors. Surveys of labor needs will be made in confer- where such men can be used efficiently, j ine Doara ior vocational education will maintain in each hospital for the treatment of wounded a representative who will confer with disabled men be fore their discharge from the hospital. If a man desires to continue in the oc cupation he was engaged in before the war and is fitted for it, help will be giveij him in finding work in that call 'ingt should his injuries make it nec essary for him to seek a new means of livelihood, he will be advised of the lines in "which he can enter without finding his injuries a handicap and a course of training in the work to be adopted will be offered. Every effort will be made to assist disabled men to ward that occupation in which they are most interested and for which, because of aptitude and experience on one hand and handicaps on the other, they are best suited. After the vocational adviser has as sisted the recuperating patient to choose a suitable occupation, his case, with full information, will be referred to a, local board in his community made up of two representatives of the dis trict j employment office, one a physi sian, two representatives chosen from the locality, one to be an employer an the other a representative of labor. Thfe board will see to his training, and while it is in progress he will be sup ported by the government and given the same allotment and family allow ance for dependants as when he was in military or naval service. His ex penses, in the main, will be covered from the compensation provided in, the vocational renabilitation act. Manufacturing establishments, of fices and farms will be used to give preliminary training, especially for those? occupations not yet regarded as being within the school or college field. Afterward, through the employment service, a permanent" suitable position will be found -for him. The board will keep in touch as friend and adviser for such period after employment is found as may be necessary to complete his re-establishment as a civilian worker. A canvass recently made at the Ford motor plant at Detroit, showed the fol lowing: Jobs that could h filler? k-d- i. men, 670; by one-legged men, 2,637; by one-armed men, 715; not total, v hiinH men, 10. The time to become efficient at these jobs is estimated for 1,743. one day or less; for 1;461, one day to one week;lor 251, one week to two weeks; for 543, one month to one year; for 43 one to six years. GERMANY MUST PAY DAMAGES TO ALLIES (Continued from Page One ) addresses. They must point out, how . ever, that Clause Two to what is usu ally described as the freedom of the seas is open to various interpretations some of which they could not accept. They must, therefore, reserve to them selves complete freedom on this sub ject when they enter the peace confer ence. r "Further, in the conditions of peace laid down in his address to congress of ; January Sth, 1918,, the president de clared that invaded territories must be restored as well as evacuated and freed, the allied governments feel that no doubt ought to be allowed to exist as to what this provision, implies. It they understand that compensation -will be made bv ci " a. ma uaui- age done, to the civilian population of the allies - and their property by the aggression of Germany by land, by sea . and from the air. "I am instructed by the president to -say that he is in agreement with the interpretation set forth in the last TT For Indigestion, Constipation or -DiuoiunesB Just try one 60-cent bottle of L.AX-FOS .

I am further instructed by the president to request you .to notify the German government that Marshal Foch has been authorized by the govern ment of the United States and the ajlied governments to receive properly ac credited representatives of the German government 'and to communicate to them, the terms of an armistice. "Accept,, sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. (Signed) ROBERT LANSING." The note now is on the cables. In 24 hours it should be in the hands of tho Germans; in 48- hours the world may know whether an immediate end of the war is at hand. Publication of the details of the arm istice terms still is withheld. Thev ma.v not be made known until the Germans have accepted or rejected them t'ae course followed by the allies in Sealing- with Bulgaria, Turkey and Austria. Only the details are in doubt, however, and no one questions that acceptance means abject surrender. The statement has been authorized that the drastic conditions under which Austria passed out of the war have been followed closely and in answer for further information, officials said tonight the statement of Clemenceau, cabled from Paris by the Associated Press told the story. "The terms," said M. Clemenceau, " are what President Wilson himself recommended to us for the security of our troops, the maintenance of our superiority and the disarmament of the enemy, in so far as that is necessary to prevent a resumption of hostilities." Secretary Lansing's note gives Che first hint of what has ben going on in the momentous conferences at Paris between Colonel House and the allied premiers. It quotes a "memorandum of oDservations" by the allied govern ments on the president's correspon dence with the German authorities,jdis closihg the approval of the' presfdent's peace program, with , reservation of freedom of action in the peace confer ence on the moot question of freedom o fthe seas and a specific statement that by restoration is meant that Ger many must make compensation for all damage done to civilian populations and their property, "by land, by sea and from the air." This last specifica tion .in which President Wilson con curs, means German payment for towns and cities destroyed and countrysides devastated, for ships sunk by subma rines and raiders. It means German payment of damages to the families and dependents of civilians killed or carried off in violation of the rules of war. Thus, much of the real work of a peace conference has been done in ad vance. The spokesmen of Germany have accepted the president's terms; now they must accept the allied quali fications if they want to stop the ad vance of the allied and Amefican arm ies. The guarantee that final peace conditions will be dictated under inter pretation of principles by the victors without undue argument by the van quished is provided in the armistice terms. In placing the matter of an armistice in Marshal Foch's Lands and at the same time informing the Germans' through President Wilson,, the associat ed nations have strictly observed . the diplomatic amenities while maintain ing the purpose to make the armistice a purely military measure and which should afford no possibility of a mis understanding of the fact that it is offered to a defeated army. All alongs there has been a belief that the German high command has been desperately anxious to avoid ad mission of the complete defeat of the German arms, hoping instead to make it appear when tne Inevitable collapse came that the army was still in being, formidable and able to fight on indefi- nitely and that it ceased the strug gle not at the demand of its enemies on the fronts but solely because of orders to do so from the civil govern ment now at least nominally in con trol. For this reason the American and allied leaders determined that to con vince the German people themselves that their idolized and feared military machine had been crushed, the military leaders must be forced to capitulate on the field of battle - The important reservation by the allies as tp freedom of the seas Is said here to be due largely to a desire to avoid a later protest of deception, since it is known that tho German idea of freedom of the seas is very dif ferent from that held in Washington or the allied capitals. President Wil son's statement on this subject which has been accepted by the Germans was included in the 14 principles enun ciated in his address of January 8. The second clause said: "Absolute freedom of navigatlori upon the seas outside territorial wa ters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international cove nants." . Very soon after the address iV as de livered anxiety developed in Europe and particularly in England, as to just what was meant by Article 2. Appre hension was openly expressed in tho English press that this involved aban-; donmehl; of the right of blockade and of the right- to. -capturo- enemy .pro'p eryson the high seas and -perhaps even curtailment - of - tie right , to maintain fortified naval bases w&icby might..' riot only render the British navy largely valueless as an off ensive agency , but limit its useiuiness in protecting the empire. Later it appeared that these were precisely the objects sought by Ger many, whose war lords hoped to neu tralize the predominance of British na val forces while maintaining in full efficiency its own land, armies. Alsace-Lorraine is not mentioned in' the allied memorandum. The entente governments know, however, and it is assumed that the Germans under stand that "by righting the wrong" done to France, President Wilson meant in the term accepted, by Ger many, the return of the lost provinces to France. FRANCO-AMERICANS SHAKE GERMAN PIVOT (Continued from Page One. this morning. General Debenys men entered Guise at 6:30 o'clock and push ed on six miles further west in close pursuit of the German rear guards. The German artillery began a strong reaction upon the French positions southwest of the Eely Seraincourt road at 3 o'clock this afternoon and tonight it continued very active along the Aisne between Rethel and Attigny. GERMANS IN JEOPARDY ALL ALONG THE FRONT (Continued from Page One.) seems probable large numbers of them are destined to be cut off and forced to surrender. Likewise the crossing- of tha Maiida river by tjie Americans places in peril the large enemy forces in Lorraine south of Metz. There are indications that operations with a .view to over whelming the enemjr in this region are in the making. The German of ficial communication of Tuesday an nounced' that the Americans had made partial thrusts west of the Moselle river which runs through Metz. Large numbers of towns have been reclaimed by the allied troops through thousands of Germans having been made prisoner and large numbers of guns, and quantities of stores have been captured. In addition the enemy has suffered terrible loss in men killed or wounded. Viewing the situation from the mili tary map, the crisis on the battlefront is at hand. The Germans have come to the realization that the Foch mili tary machine is the master of the Ger man machine. Therefore, they are giving ground everywhere before it, seeking their border line in order to prevent being crushed. tie which began Monday. 25 German divisions.

Volunteered to Supply Labor During Period of War. Among the Porto Rican laborers who are being tranported to America to supplement the labor supply are many men of 60 years or more. One of the most interesting and at the same time pathetic sights connected with the moving of these great num bers of men to the United States Is the eagerness of the old men to reach what they considera a land of promise. They have worked, in the island for the whole term of their existence without a thought that they would ever be able to leave.lt, until now the war's demands have provided them with opportuni ties In a new country. When the first chance came the local office of the department of Labor in San Juan was almost swamped with eager applicants for jobs in America. The men will be used largely in agri cultural work in the south, where the climate will not be ereatly unlike that to which they have been accustomed and where the. agricultural conditions are similar to those in Porto Rico.
