Paris. —Readjustment of labor after (demobilization looms fits the biggest mfter-the-war question in France. A committee of members of the IFrencb chqinber of deputies has offl- . «lally asked the government what □steps tb«vnid labor reconstruction are Mo be taken. Appointment of a commission to istudy the question has Just been announced. , Laboq readjustment is a subject of (greater importance in France than in ■any other belligerent country—outside of Belgium, perhaps—(because so many factories and commercial enterprises lhave been destroyed by the war. " - When the soldiers are demobilized >a great nqmber will not be able jtd, □return to the. work in which they were -engaged before the war. Their workehops have been wiped out. Many others who have been emiployed on war work in munitions tplants will be’thrown out of employment. For such concerns will have to •shut down while they adapt themselves, many of them slowly, to a ipeace-time line of manufacture. Another class of men, who have T>een away at the front four years, ‘-vyill find no places open Slave been replaced by other labor — women, in numerous cases. The government fac«s< the problems tof having more men on its hands than St' has jobs.

MEXICO HIT BY “FLU”

Most Fatal Epidemic in History •of Country. Shortage of Necessary Drugs One of Reasons for Heavy Death Rate. Laredo, Tex —According to reliable Information brought here by arrivals from various portions of Mexico, the present epidemic of Spanish influenza in that country has been the most fatal epidemic In the history of Mexico, the death-rate exceeding that caused by any previous epidemic- of typhus, yellow fever or smallpox. The undertakers of Mexico were in .the influenza epidemic without practically any supply of coffins or caskets on hand, and even the old custom of renting caskets for burial purposes only, after which the body is removed at the grave and placed in a plnO box, had to be abandoned, as some wealthier class were buried in caskets that were formerly u,sed for rental purposes only. In Mexico City it is estimated that at least 40,000 cases of influenza wfre in that city the middle of October, many cases developing into pneumonia nnd causing several thousand deaths, these latter being mostly among the* poor people who contracted the disease and were compelled to lie down on the dirt floors of their jackals and there contracted pneumonia and died. A big death rate also occurred among the better class, despite the -care given them. Tn .Guadalajara, Guanajuato, Torreon, Tampico, Saltillo and Monterey the number of cases of influenza were heavy, while the death rate was likewise heavy. In Vera Cruz over

Nbfrxa single building in Varennes has a roqf. During the first four years of the vrar the town escaped heavy shellfire, though it was within easy, range of French artillery. But the battering fire of our guns on the opening morning of the Argonne attack and the response from German artillery after we had captured the town laid the old church in ruins, flattened out the modern dwellings along the river and sent strong buildings in the center of the town sprawling.

as the United States has. except in Its northern African colonies. All of France is cultivated intensively, leaving none for,reclamation by demobilized soldiers. And it is calculated tiiat few will want to leave their own country for the purpose of colonization. t 6. H. Roberts. thlnister of labor, recently- discussed this subject before an audience of British soldiers at the British Army and Navy Leave club in Paris. The British minister satu temporarily unemployment difficulties of demobilized soldiers would ( be met by a free out-of-work donation covering ft period of 12 months after discharge. This will be additional to the month’s furlough given each man on his discharge, during which time pay and allowances are to be continued. ' The skilled workman among British soldiers, Roberts said, is safeguarded by the munitions of war act, giving him the assurance of reinstatement in employment. Committees, he said, would establish employment agencies in all cities and everything possible would be done to make labor resettlement as speedy and smooth as possible. ’ 7'

one-third of those stricken with the influenza are said to have succumbed to subsequent pneumonia. In many places heavy death rate In Mexico was due to the shortage of aspirin, quinine and other necessary drugs used in the cure of Influenza.

Other Mennonlte homes were visited, but subscriptions were forthcoming. The minister was called to the door and asked tor his subscription. He stated that he didn’t- know to whom be was talking. His porch light was turned on, and every member of the committee and his neighbors stood out clearly. After parleying a while he flatly refused to donate and some cried: “Bring him out.”.

The men then went on their way.

AND HE LEFT THE DOLLAR

Jenkins Evidently Had No Immediate Necessity for Any of That Famous Liquid Glue. 11l I»I I Jenkins, who had gone to the store that sold everything, happened to notice, While the assistant was serving him, a dollar lying on the floor near by his foot —a whole round, silver dollar. '* ! Quivering with, excitement and glancing cautiously round to see that no one was watching him, he dropped —quite accidentally, of course—one of hl| gloves on top of the coin. Then, bending, he proceeded to pick up his glove; but the dollar did not accompany it The elusive coin still remained where it was —upon the floor. He made a second attempt toget.hold of It, but with the same result. Then, just as he was contemplating the wisdom of a third endeavor, a salesman came, up to him and said: “Good evening, sir I May I be allowed to show you a bottle of our famous liquid glue? As, no doubt, you are aware, Its sticking powers—” But Jenkins had fled.
