BRITIAN PLANS DEMOBILIZATION London, Nov. 6. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) The Bri tish government has completed its basic plans for demobilization of the army and providing employment for the men whose sole business for four years has been war. It is calculated that 60 per cent of the men In the army will go back to their old Jobs or have new ones awaiting them but taking care of the remalndr even though every ounce of man-power will be needed after the war, pre sents a most difUcult problem. It will be a long tedious tank to trensforrn millions of men from khaki to civil life and must be done by degrees, By the plan agreed up on these degrees have been fixed up on the needs of inurtUry with cer tain consideration " being plven -o married men or tliViwo who may oth erwise be needed in the home. The government h:is a record of what each ma nifi best IIMrd for In civil life. The Minister? of Public 3','i vice which has efficiently compiled this data has, together with other fllt. ,1 ...,nl,. ........... ..4 !!.. Af necessary industries In the order of what Is deemed their ' importance. 1 he flrt-t few are called "kry" trades many of which produce materialr needed for us tn other trMcs.

The trades list is complete hi;t will not be announced because of controversies It might aroum. The fact that a innn has a Job awaiting him will not ki.uiro his ';.:ly releare.

VICTORY DRIVE ON THIS WEEK Seventy-five Counties ' Driving To Reach W, S. S. Quota. State's Honor at Stake The great Vivtory War Savings Drive, the purpose of which is to wind up the War Savings Campaign in North Carolina, has right-of-way this week. As many as seventy-ftvo counties have put on this Intensive drive to secure, first, the amount needed to complete the counties' quota In pledges and, second, to get all outstanding War Savings pledges redeemed. There are throe classes of people that tho workers of this cumpalgn arc endeavoring to reach this week through a house-to-house canvass. The (list is the man and woman who are able to buy, hut who have not bought. 1 1000 In their own name, or In tho name of ech nieainber of their family, or in the name of their cor porations. The second class is those who have signed a pledge to buy Wur Savings Stamps but who are able to double their pledges. The third cluss is those who have never pledged, and who want a record of what they have bought and are willing to buy to put the State over. v The two appeals made by the work era are the necessity for raising th State's War Savings allotment to pay the Slate's debt of honor, and the second Is to make the War Savings campaign a success and thereby give the Slate a 100 per cent War record.

Use of tech nical units in the American overseas army as the driving force In the re habilitation of war-devastated re gions and backward countries of eastern Kurope and western Asia was urged here last night by Henry Mor genthau, former Ambassador to Tur- key, in an address before the Econo mic Club. Citing as a precedent the modern isation of Cuba and Philippines di rected and to a large degree execut ed by American military forces, and outlining a vast rumaultarian scheme of carrying modern education, sani tation, industrial and commercial methods and governmental ideas to the oppressed races liberated' by the war, Mr. Morgenthau advocated that the I'nited States give not only of Its financial and material resources, but of its man power toward thelrres toratlon i With many thousands of Ameri cans especially qualified for recon struction work "fortunately on Euro pean soli," the former Ambassador declared, this country has an unpar alleled opportunity for world lead ership, If tha.public mind Is sufficient ly Imbued with the spirit of unsel fishness und sacrifice to support such a policy. The American army, with its engineers and sanitarians, had been the agent of humanity In re claiming Cuba and the. Philippine Islands. These same forces In the greater army raised, for the war now i.twlnH Mr Mnrppnl hnu rinrtnrAd should bo employed In the relief of oppressed millions In Europe and Asia. He emphasized particularly "the work which wo shall be called upon to do'' Iu Itussla, In the Balk ans and in the Ottoman Empire." "In ItUHslu," he said, "the popula tion is 8li per cent illiterate, sanita tion' has-been needed, agricultural , iiuthod3 are exceedingly primitive, h'ghways are few nnd tar between, cud railroads are most Inadequate. The same condition exlut in tha MiUkaiis una in Asia Minor. The phy s ml restoration of countries is some thing for which we, as a nation, have shown great ability, and we have before us a splendid opportun ity to exercise that a'llllty. We have the re--o'.utim to ib.a.ii'i' these res torations on the gigantic scale which . . w.i ix cas. on d i-mii'Mla. . Q "Our army contains one of the line t Bunitaiy corps in the world.
