SEEKING WORKFOR
RELEASED PRISONERS
WASHINGTON, March 11.—Rotary
clubs throughout the country have
been asked to aid in finding work for '
ipen released from penal institutions.
Five thousand prisoners have been re- 1
leased in the United States since the
close of the war, and according to the
j Prisoners’ Relief Society many of them '
are without work. It is pointed out
that the situation is serious, and that 1
unless the business men of the coun- i
try assist by employing ex-convicts <
these men will be forced to steal or ]
starve. s
In a letter to the rotary clubs it was i
stated that during the last six years
through the Prisoners’ Relief Society
20,000 employers have opened their
plants to men released from prison,
ind that of more than 10,000 men sent
to positions, 95 per cent have proved
worthy. The-Rotarians were asked to
use their influence to keep the doors
open to men who have served prison
sentences and who want an opportu
nity to prove their worth.

REGULATIONS COVERING
WEARING OF CHEVRONS
Officers and enlisted me:: of the
irmy of the United States who are
iuthorized to wear wound and service
chevrons are not entitled to wear
them after their discharge from the
federal service, according to a recent
ailing of the war department.
It is held that these chevrons are
i part of the uniform of the United
States army only, and that upon re
ease from the army the right to ser
vice or wound designation ceases.
This ruling will come as a distinct
surprise and disappointment to the
housands of men who have recently
•eturned to civil life, and who have
;aken special pride in the gold and
silver bars on their unform sleeves.
Hie war department states, however,
hat if legislation is enacted allowing
lischarged officers and soldiers to
vear the uniform for any prescribed
seriod of time, they will be entitled
hereunder to wear the wound and
service chevrons as a part of such
tniform.
The red discharge chevron may now
ie worn until the ex-service man
eaches his home, but ex-soldiers who
mlist in the national guard are not
lermitted to wear the discharge in
ignia as a part of their national guard
iniform.
GERMAN INDUSTRIES
ARE UNDER PROBE
(Continued from Page One)
marked on the great search for pleas
ures, even if this is partly the result
of the revolution. People who are so
eager for pleasure are not suffering
from famine. We no longer recognize
the hard-working Germans of former
days and the people have not changed
to advantage and the difficulties of
reconstruction are increased by these
people.
The newspaper adds the American
does not appear to have a very deep
perception, otherwise he could, not
have formed such a superficial opinion
regardinig Germany’s food supplies,
although his sentiments regarding the
pleasure seekers in large cities are
right, and it is unfortunate that the
Germans must be criticized by for
eigners.
The Weser Zeitung reports that two
American officers, Captain Lewis
Chaunler and Captain Ernest Edwards,
are in Bremen in order to handle the
American foodstuffs expected via Bre
men. The Americans are authorized
by Mr. Hoover to investigate the con
ditions and see whether Bremen af
fords enough security.
The paper points out that America
need not have any; anxiety on this
score, and says thte Americans are
very considerate; that they negotiate
with the Weser company and appear
to be reassured, and are returning to
report to Mr. Hoover.
Another issue of the same news
paper reports the arrival of entente
warships at Bremen, among which is
the American cruiser Chester and the
French and English ships.. There are
allied commissions on board under the
leadership of Captain Morast, for the
commission for the inspection of
ships.
