BEGOWI6 SERIOUS
SURPLUSAGE OF UNEMPLOYED
THROUGHOUT THE NATION IS
RAPIDLY GROWING LARGER.
NEW PUNS FOR STIMULATION
The Department of Labor Proposes
Two Plans by Which to Relieve
Acuteness of Situation.
Washington.—The reports coming
to the department o( labor show that
conditions of unemployment are be
coming more serious and that labor
surpluses are growing throughout
the nation.
"The labor surplus in many Indus
trial centers has increased rapidly in
the last 10 days," said a statement is
sued by the department of labor.
"Plants heretofore engaged in war
work are not changing back to peace
activities fast enough to hold their
proper proportion of labor.
"The department of labor's investi
gation of ways and means to stimu
late building and Improvements and
augment the absorption of labor in
industry disclosed these two Impor
tant ways of getting results:
"1. Legislation enabling the build
ing and loan associations of Che coun
try to use their real estate mortgages
for collateral in a system of federal
home loan banks; and
"2. Legislation to authorize imme
diate adjustment and payment by the
government of reasonable claims
growing out of the summary rescind
ing of war contracts.
"The former would permit home
builders to Bvail themselves of almost
$3,000,000,000 in loans; the latter
would provide much-needed, immedi
ate capital for manufacturing. It is
probable a proposed law on the for
mer soon will be Introduced in Con
gress. Legislation on the latter now
is pending in the United States «en
ate."
UNEXPECTED OBBTACLES BAR
PROQREBS ON REVENUE BILL
Washington.—New and unexpected
obstacles to the long-delayed war rev

tlement of more minor disputes be
tween the senate and house, but en
tailing postponement of final action
by the conferees and submission of
the conference re-draft.
While house discussion was pro
ceeding, it was learned that the con
ferees had agreed to a compromise
amendment for pay bonuses of SSO
each to enlisted men and nurses and
S2OO to officers of the army, navy and
marine corps upon discharge. The
bonus wpuld be paid to those already
discharged as well as to those subse
quently given honorable discharge or

PRESIDENT WILBON TALKB
PLAINLY TO DELEGATE*
Paris. —The crisis in the peace ne
gotiations over the disposition to be
made of Germany's colonies seem* to
have passed, momentarily at least
It i* too early to say President Wil
son's view has prevailed in its en
tirety, but in American quarters there
is coafldence that a compromise plan,
which has been accepted in princi
ple, will be worked out with details
which will be acceptable to the Am
erican viewpoint.
What he said did not appear in
the official communique, nor has it
been disclosed with any official au
thority but it may be statsd that it
was a very clear re-affirmation of the
principles for which the Preaidsnt
has previously contended. In phraas*
■tripped of diplomatic niceties, it is
understood, Mr. Wilson told the mem
bers of the supreme council he would
not be a party to a division of Ger
many's colonial possessions among
the power* which now hold them and
then become a party to a league of
nations, which, In effect, would guar
antee -their title. There are infer

Pari* Chief of Police Declare That

Paris. —That Apaches of all nation
alities, dressed in American uniforms,
were mainly responsible for the acta
of violence which have caused broad
cast publicity to be given to an al
leged American crime wave In Paris,
,was shown by an investigation.
An opportunity was presented to
verify at police headquarters the fig
ures respecting crimes during last
December. Thirty-four murders charg
ed to Americans were discredited and
dwindled to two; 244 hold-ups and as
saults were reduced by 80 per cent.
Brigadier General William W.
Harts, of the United States anny,
says:
"The reports concerning the large
number of murders by American sol
dier in Paris are untrue. The statis
tics show that the American soldiers
are maintaining their high standard
of discipline in every detail, wherever
they may be."
The Paris chief of police, H. M.
Mouton, sad he was greatly pleaded
at the co-operation of the American
detectives who have recently arrived
here.
Chief Mouton refused to make a
statement on the extent of crime, but
said that outside of some thefts of
automobiles,to the prejudice of the
American army, American soldiers did
not deserve the hard reputation prhich
had gone abroad.
BRAZIL TO BTAND WITH

Paris.—Brazil will support the Unit

to the league of nations and other
questions of general interest which
Brazil has in common with other na

Dr. Pessoa said his assurance ap

requisitioned German ships, of Which
Brazil holds 43, and also to the ques
tion of Indemnities for which Brazil
will make a claim.

BEVIER AND KEARNEY BITEB
Washington.—Abandonment of 14
at the 16 national guard camps and
purchase by the government of the
sites of all national army canton

and Assistant Secretary Crowell be
fore the house military committee.
Camp Kearney, California, and Camp
Sevier, South Carolina, would be the
two guard camps acquired by the gov
ernment, with the others returning to
land owners at the expiration of pres
ent leases.
The recommendations were made
without regard to future military pol
icy, Secretary Baker explaining that
he considered acquisition of the land
solely as a business proposition.
Retention of the national army
camps, Mr. Baker said, was favored
because of large investments made
there.

DOUGHBOY IS SVSCEPmiE
Haa More Time to Himself In British
Isles Than In France, Hence There
Have Been Mere Marrlagea to Brlt-
Isfi Than to French Glrie—Marriage
Customs ef Scotland Responsible
for Most Serious Problem.
Mr. Bamuel Doughboy has become
a much married man since he set out
to make the world safe for democ
racy, and the United States consular
authorities throughout the British
Isles are having no end of trouble try
ing to straighten out his marltsl diffi
culties.
Of approximately a million mem
bers of the Doughboy family who
passed through England on their way
to glory and everlasting fame In the
fighting line, several thousand (the ex
act number Is not yet known) took
pretty English, Irish and Scotch girl*
unto themselves as wives.
Simply Could Not Resist
It appears Mr. Doughboy haa more
time to hffMelf In the British. Isles
than during
hence there have been more marriage*
to British girls than to French girls.
Not that onr soldiers and sailors care
less for the dark-eyed beauties of the
romantic country they have played
such a prominent part In saving from
German oppression, but here In Eng
land and Ireland and Scotland they
Just naturally couldn't help themselves.
The girls smiled at them \flth love-lit
eyes and spoke so softly and sweetly
In their own language that they really
couldn't resist the temptation.
Everything was One until Mr.
Doughboy went away from here to add
his persuasive powers to those of Mr.
Tommy Atkins and Frenchy in throw
ing Frits out of France and Belgium.
Uncle Sam, as we all know, was a bit
slow with his postal service at the
front, and Mrs. Doughboy in England,
Ireland and Scotland became very
much worried. They asked the con
sular authorities about Mr. Doughboy's
whereabouts, and that'a Just where the
trouble started.
Uncle Sam, to whom said consular
authorities are more or less respon
sible, thought he had some claim on
Mr. Doughboy, since he had fitted him
out with a brand new uniform, kit,
etc.; paid his expenses over here, and
even gave hlro spending money. ' But
Mrs. Doughboy protested that she had
first claim, and so the authorities have
been as busy at a marrying parson
of Hoboken, N. J., adjusting matters in
a manner that would not interfere
with Uncle Sam's business In Europe
and at the same time wonld relieve
the anxiety of the many young women
who have hopes of residing in the neat
future in America.
Mott Serious In Scotland.
Scotland, however, has produced
the most serious problem to solve,
Hundreds of wee lassies there say
they took Mr. Doughboy at his word.
Apparently that's all that's neces
sary In Scotland, according to law.
While the Scotch girls do not
doubt the sincerity of Mr. Doughboy,
the fact that their mail has been so
irregular since he left, also that the
armistice has been signed and soon
he'll be returning to America, has
caused them to Inquire Just where they
stand. And the American consular
representatives are burning the mid
night oil, blocking the telegraph and
cable Hues, exceeding the typewriter
speed limit and nursing aching beads
to find out all about It for all con
cerned.
WORRIES OVER NO "KICKS"
Business Seems to Be Slaek With St
Louis Complaint Board.
The city of St. Louis Is expending
$3,000 a year to maintain a complaint
board, whose business Is to take car*
of all complaints St. Louisans wish to
make. But the board has begun to
worry. There have been no com
plaints, nobody even kicking abonl
the amount of money spent to keep
the board.
The complaint board has Issued a
system of complaint postcard books
with blank forms on which kicks will
be made, and theae have been dis
tributed throughout the city In an
effort to stimulate the kickers. All
civic organizations who formerly did
so much kicking will receive these
postcard books, and the complaint
board Is hoping that the public gets
busy and comes along wrtth some
kicks.
The "Fortune" of War.
An Emporia, Kan., soldier. Just re
turned home. Is In a sad plight. When
he went away to the war he sent his
civilian clothing to the girl to whom
be was engsged to be married. Since
that time the girl married a civilian,
and the latter Is gearing the soldier's
civilian clothing.

According to estimates made by In

Washington.—Official table* of tht
major battle casualties of the Ameri

General March, chief of staff, show
tliat approximately 10,000 men remain
>wholly unaccounted for nearly three
months after the ending of hostllitiei.
The deaths, missing and known pris
oners are tabulated up to January 10
for each* of the 3D combatant division*
of General Pershing's army. The to
tal is 56,692 of whom 17,434 are classi
fledd as missing or captured. An ap
pended statement shows that only 29
American military prisoners were be
lieved to be still In Oermany on Janu
ary 8 and that 4.800 prisoners had
been checked up as returned and
118 died in captivity.
Some portion of the great body of
missing men may be located as th«
return of the army thins out th*

tions are, however, that the majority
of the 10,000 Anally will be added to
the roll of honor shown In the tables
of those killed or died of woundß, now
recorded as 39,15.8 men.
To that figure also must be added
1,551 men ot the Marine Brigade, fig

gregate of deaths from battle up to
40,709 on returns estimated officially
to be 95 per cent complete.
WAS PENCHANT FOR TALKING
THE CAUSE FOR TREATMENTI
Washington.—Reiterating in the
house charges that National Guard of
fleers were removed from their com
mands after practically continuous
fighting service to make room for
regulars, Representative Oalllvan ol
Massachusetts, Democrat, read a let
ter signed by 40 wounded officers say
ing that investigation would prove
that medical officers had been order
ed to report as unfit officers who
might replace the regulars first as
signed for duty.
Referring to Major Gen. Leonard
Wood, the letter read by the Massa
chuietts representative taid:
"When General Wood visited the
front he wat treated more llko a Oer
man tpy than an officer of the United
States. We have the word of several
colonelt that knew him well for this.
He was ordered back from his visit
here without being allowed to visit
the Italian front or returning through
England, at he was invited to do by
Lloyd George.
"General Wood was the idol of the
army, officers and men alike, and >u
one of the mott efficient offieen, jtel
he was kept In a corner all the time."

IS ATTACKED BY SOCIALISTS
Disposition of Imperial Funds to Bi
Decided by Austrian Parliament—
Former Ruler Is Living In Castle
- Belonging to Btate, but Cannot
Touch Million*—Treasure to Be
Divided Among New Btatee.
Pending on Investigation by the
Austrian parliament of the disposition
of the imperial funds, the position of
former Emperor Charles and the
erstwhile Imperial family continues to
be a painful one, not danfier
ous unless the situation should lead
to disorders. In that event the family
possibly may travel to Swltrerland or
elsewhere.
The socialist papers continue freely
to attack the lormer emperor, arch
dukes nnd aristocracy, claiming that
the latter did not do their duty dur
ing the war. Thpre Is much critical
and frivolous gossip concerning the
former Empress Kit a.
The secret tile of tho old Emperor
Francis Joseph Is being examined.
His fortune Is variously estimated at
from 80,000,000 to 200,000,000 crowns.
According to one report the old em
peror divided 00,000,000 crowns be
tween his two daughters, Olselu nnd
Valerie, and his granddaughter, tho
Princess Wlmllschgrnetx. With other
iarge sums of tho Imperial funds do
nations were made to churches, pen
sions and the roynl poor.
Although Charles officially Is tho
dispenser of these funds It Is stated
that In reality they are handled by
the bank directors.
Lives In Btate Cattle.
Ekertsau castle, where the former
emperor Is now living, docs not belong
to him but Is property of the state,
together with other lurge estates and
also the famous collection of Jewels
In Hofburg castle, among which is tho
Florentlna diamond, called tho fourth
largest In the world, and ulso a won
derful necklace.
It Is expected Hint this property
will he dlstrlhuled among the various
republics of the former empire when
the accounts are settled among them.
It wl|l be necessary also to dlvldo
up the vast an>l wonderful treasures,
the mnsterpleces of art, paintings, an
tiquities and vases Centered In Vienna,
formerly crown property, or In tho
stnte museum or other museums or
libraries. These are believed to be
worth several billions of francs.
Vienna's Glory Tottering.
The disposal of these treasures In
expected to be a difficult tank and to
be fraught with disaster to Vienna,
iilncc her whale future existence Is be
lieved to depend upon her ability to
muke herself a center of attraction
for visitors, tourists, artists, archi
tects nnd students of music and tnedl
clne, now that she no longer Is a cen
ter of commerce and politics of a
treat empire which annually drew In
billions of Income from such sources.
Friends of former Kmperor Charles
assert that all the sins of the Hnps
burgs have been visited upon his head
and that he ho#" 1 been blamed for all
the, grafting In the army, although
the aristocrats declare that the graft
ing generals were principally those
without titles. They admitted, how
ever, there were a few exceptions In
which corrupt nobility profited by the
war. ,It Is asserted by the friends of
Charles thnt while the old emperor
never was permitted to get In touch
with the people Charles Immediately
got rid of the "old crowd" and did his
best to Introduce new men and to stop
the war.

the packers operated illegally against
