THE OMAHA- SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 8, 1918. 9 A' DANGER SEEN IN UNEMPLOYMENT DURING WINTER Many Discharged Soldiers Now Idle and "Broke" in Big Cities, Says Fed eral Official. New York. Dec. 7 A recommending to the government t uranea men should be sent back to their local boards in con nection with the country's re-em plovment orohlem day by the United Council of Re employment. New York, Dec. 7. Unemploy ment is the greatest danger con fronting the . United States during the next four months, the labor re construction conference of the Academy of Political Science was told at its meeting here today by Nathan A. Smyth, assistant director general of the United States em ployment service. Thousands of soldiers are being discharged- daily, he said, at the be ginning of winter, when outdoor jobs are few; wartime plants are be ing closed because of army cancel lations of contracts, and manufac turers are hesitant in employing more labor because of uncertainties of taxation, high prices of materials 'tnd "timidity" of credit. Flocking to Cities. Eventually, Mr. Smith said, the problem of placing America's sol diers and war workers will hp solved through an abnormally high emigration of Europeans to their native lands, the probability that immigration will continue to be slight, and especially by co-operation of American agencies jn con necting jobless men with manless iobs. He warned the members of :he conference, however, that these agencies could only enable men to find open jobs, and could not cre ite work. "Soldiers are being discharged by the thousands daily, on the basis of military units, with no reference to whether or not they are now needed in industry," said Mr. Smith. "They are being mustered out on a few days' notice and given in money the cost of transportation to their homes, free to buy tickets wherever they please. Already they are turn ing up in the cities, improvident, broke' away from home,, without work, applicants for civilian relief. Many others are unwilling to under take the 'day labor jobs' which alone they can find. There is every prospect that unless remidial meas ures are promptly taken the sight of stranded, moneyless soldiers will be common throughout the land." 9 Sergt. John Morris, of the Forty ninth balloon company, stationed at Camp Morrison, Va., writes relatives here that he will be mustered out of the army next week and will soon be home again at 2419 Laurel averse. ficers there were instructed that all other work of the field is to be set aside to expedite the work of demo bilization.

"I shall never forget that morning when I sent a cable message to President Wilson telling him what the facts were and how essential it was that we should get American help at the speediest possible rate and inviting him to send 120,000 infantry and machine gunners to Europe,'' said Premier Lloyd George in the course of a speech to 3,000 persons today "The following day," continued the premier, 'there came a cable gram from President Wilson: 'Send your ships across and we will send the 120,000 men.' "Then I invited Sir Bishop Mc- Klay, the shipping controller, to Downing street and said: "Send every ship you can." Ran Risks With Food. "They were all engaged in essen tial trades because we were cut down right to the bones. There was nothing that was not essential. We said: "This is the time for taking risks.' "We ran risks with our food and we ran risks with essential raw materials. We said: " 'The thing to do is to get these men across at all hazard.' "America sent 1,900,000 men across, and out of that number 1,100,000 were carried by the Brit ish mercantile marine. The Rood old ships of Britain have saved the liberty of the world many times. They saved it in the days of Queen Elizabeth; saved it in the days of Louis XIV; saved it in the days of Napoleon, and have saved it in the days of Kaiser Wilhelm II. 'It is a change from December, 1916; a change from the days when, at the end of the year, we made our balance sheet and found Germany had acquired more allied territory than she had before; that a new ally had fallen and that another ally was tottering to the fall and that Germany was advancing ruthlessly along from conquest to conquest. that was the story up to the end of December, 1916. What is the story today? Every German sub marine is in a British port today. The best battleships and cruisers and torpedo boats of Germany are now with lowered flags, under sur veillance of British seamen in British harbors. "And the British army, which has fought so gallantly which has fought with a heroism which the world has never matched that army, after months of fighting and of suffering, is today, at this hour, marching across the Rhine into Germany and into one of the most famous cities of Germany." Statement by Controller. Regarding British aid in the transport of American troops the shipping controller today made the following statement to the Associ ated Press: "The real effort to accelerate the movement of American troops be gan at the end of March, when we realized that it was necessary to do what we could with British bottoms to supplement the American effort. We sent a mission to the United States with the object of seeing the fitting-out facilities there. So far as they were not required for American troop ships they were utilized to the maximum in fitting out British troop ships. "Ships were gathered from every source with the result that in the six months between April and Sep tember 850,000 troops, or 60 per cent of the total number carried within that period, were transported in British bottoms. In all of the 2,000,- 000 odd American troops transport ed to r ranee well over a million were carried in British ships. The whole of this million were escorted to the United Kingdom zone by ships of the royal navy. British shipping at that time was in a peril ous situation, but in order to fur ther the movement of American troops we were prepared to make every sacrifice. How Ships Were Secured. "The following steps were taken: "From South Africa we removed every passenger steamer and for the Paris Prepares Mansion for Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Paris, Dec. 7. The town house"! of Prince and Princess Joachim Murat, place ' at the disposal of President and Mrs. Wilson during their stay in Paris at the request of the government, will soon be completely renovated and ready to receive tre American chief execu tive and his wife. Although the Murat mansion in the rue de Monceau is rapidly be coming known as "La Maison Blanche de Paris," it is not white, but a dull brown tint. The house itself is hidden from the street by a stone wall 10 -feet high, in which there are two narrow wooden gates and, in the center, a big double door for vehicles. Inside the gates is a large grav eled space. Here the guard of honor will be stationed. A stroll around the gardens gives a view of elaborate conservatories at the rear of the house. In the house itself today Ameri can soldiers were doing all sorts of things. Great lorries rolled up and unloaded switch boards, telephone instruments and ' big reels of lead covered cables. The president and his suite will have their own private telephone exchange as well as pri vate telephone wires. On the lower floor, in addition to salon, ball room, dining and break fast rooms, there are a private study, which the president will use, and office for his personal staff. The upper floors contain great high ceilinged sleeping chambers and other rooms wonderfully decorated with priceless collections of antiques. time being practically killed trade with that country. From India and Australia we removed all the fast steamers plying to and between those two countries and we made very dangerous sacrifices of meat supplies endangered even those of the British army, bv transferring these ships to the North Atlantic, thus wasting refrigerator space, as meat was not available for export from North American ports." "Our loss of essential imports ow ing to the fitting of ships for the carriage of American troops amount ed to well over 1,000,000 tons. That sacrifice of imports was made at a time when our total imports had been reduced to 32,000,000 tons a year, of which 14.000,000 were muni tions and 13,000,000 essential foods, as compared with the peace figure of 54,000,000 tons. "One hundred and seventy-five British vessels of more than 1,500.- 000 tons dead weight were put spe cially in the service of carrying American troops and we even fitted up fighting ships for that purpose. While the sacrifices to Great Britian was heavy the practical isolation for the time bcinir of the overseas dominions involved very serious hardships to those dommnns hardships which were borne without complaint, recognizing, as the do minions did, the vital necessity ot the measures taken."

He writes; "The Thirty-fifth divi sion smashed the Fritz line for four (lays then waited one day for re lief. I do not know how far we went but it was several kilometers. For a while I did not know if I ever would write to you again, but I finally came through- with only one small wound not enougn to re quire immediate dressing. We had no time to stop. It was a battle between the good old United States infantry and the bochc artillery and machine guns. "I have been over the top, but that is nothing when you go over under your own barrage; then all you have to do is to send back your prisoners. But one evening we got ahead of our artillery. We started out at 5:30 and captured one machine gun nest and later we heard some Ger mans talking and went on and cap tured them. We fell back to our lines and had hardly got dug in when Fritz came out of the woods ahead of us in large numbers. We opened fire at 1,000 yards and they broke and ran. One German waved a white flag while his comrades were mowing us down with machine guns but we killed them all and took their guns and ammunition and a cow."
