Until his discharge from the hos pital all the medical and surgical treatment necessary to restore him to health is under the Jurisdiction of the military or naval authorities. according to the branch ot the ser vice he Is in. The vocational train ing, the reeducation and rehabilia- tion necessary to restore him to self supporting activity, Is under the Jur isdiction of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. If he needs an artificial limb or mechanical appliance the govern ment will supply It free, will keep it in repair, and renew it when neces sary. If after discharge he again needs' medical treatment on account of his disability the government will supply It free. While he is In the hospital and while in training after wards the soldier or sailor will re ceive compensation as if In service and his family or dependents will receive their allotment. A wounded soldier or sailor, al though his disability does not pre vent him from returning to employ ment without training, can take a course of vocational, training free of cost and the compensation provided by the war-risk Insurance act will be paid to him and the training will be free, but no allotment will be paid to his family. Every Liberty bond holder who holds his bond is keeping up a part of this great work of restoring to health, strength, and usefulness the men who have suffered for their country. , ' 1 Says Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of la bor: "The American working people will not be forced back by all the Bourbons In the United States." Gompers was referring to the ques tion Intimated by some, that after the war Is over lower wages and longer hours will be necessary. As head of all organized labor in the "United States, Gompers is a power o be reckoned with. . While many ot the returning sol diers will want the chance to carve a farm . out of Uncle Sam's domain, It Is a safe bet that the majority of them will prefer a good, man's sized Job at reasonable wages.

'Bread for the Yankee foldler in France is baked, not in "ne dainty one-pound liavi used at 'ion't, but in .oives thai welg'.i 12 ji'b.'ds each. 1'iey are no big is to b lnconvealeai and the size njrf If tfing cbangsd to a uni form square loaf of four pounds. All the baking is on a huge scale. Asked, for the recipe by which Am erican bread has attained- its super iority among all the allied armlet, the chief baker gave it as follows: Flour, 160 pounds; sugar, salt, yeast, lard and water, 56 pounds; to tal 216 pounds. He did not define the amount of the various ingredi ents, possibly from fear of giving information to the bakers of the Ger man army. The huge quantities ot dought al ways on hand "aging" or rising un der the Influence of the yeast look like a giant battery of snow balls. Each dough Is' a huge mass weigh ing 480 pounds which two men handle with difficulty. Over it the soldiers bend, naked to the waist, kneedlng and mixing. Then the huge mass rolls along to the next table, where it Is drawn Into long thick strings, which the soldiers' deftly chop oft in 12-pound loaves,) never varying an ounce, ready for the ovens. There la but one standard of army bread, for officers and men alike, and General Pershing eats, exactly the same kind ot a 4-pound loaf as the soldiers In the ranks. In fact, the American army bread is so superior to the civilian bread commonly on sale in Franc, that Jt is regarded as a great luxury, officers and men are beselged by civilians to get them some of the fine, white American bread, and American officers at ho tels are the envy of other guests for the army bread they are able to eat. It was suggested to the head ba ker that tradition gave women the first place as bread makers, and be waa asked if women could not be utilised in making this army bread, thus relieving 2,000 men for service on the fighting lines. "Women couldn't last one day in this kind of hard work," he said. "This is bread making by the ton, and by millions ot loaves, and It takes physical strength to handle the huge quantities of material. It would be Impossible for women and It Is the hardest kind ot work for men." NOTICE I will be In Portland until Janu ary 1st, for the Johns Manvllle Co.

Dvar Folks: Iforo't a letter from your son, the vet. We have had out baptism of Nrt. beon through the big battle and received a citation for gallantry from Gen. lYralilnR. Had quite a few hardships but we aro all right now fcollng fine, back from the front lines ratting up a bit. I can't toll you much about the battle except that It sure was all I ever dreamed that h Is so long as Fritzles artil lery lasts. We had open fighting, and no trenches to bother us, suited us fine. The Germans were "sitting pretty" behind their trenches with rabbit pens, chicken yards, gardens and tine dugouts. Can't tell snythlng about the French people It will be cut out. We don't go roaming around over this country as some people seem to think. We had fruit, cakes, etc. from the German duiwiln we took, fine turklsh clears nnd a lot ot those kind of things. I was too tired when we stopped to got any souvenirs to carry back, will get something lutcr. We were there with U the trimmings you read about tanks, heavies ano? our "stove pipes" (3-Inch mortars). We get our newspapers by airplane, they drop oft bundles, makes It pretty nice tor us. Can probably tell you about what's left of a French village after Frltzle gots through. His heavies don't leave much of anything In, a village but a pile of stone; this is generally where Fritzle Is strong, makes a great hit on ruining a vil lage. Everything is quiet back here now just distant drum fire. Met a man from home yeaterday, Lamphere the painter and paper hanger, he is In the same regiment as I am. It Is fine fall weather over here sunny days and frost at night. We have not picked up any cooties yet as we have had no trench fighting. I don't really want any either. I see by the home papers that the "Y" Is starting another big drive at home, that's tine stuff. Grace, I can tell you how we sleep while In battle, just gt In behind a hill and level off a place about 4 feet wide then put down a slicker and three or four ot us crawl In, pull up another slicker and then some brush on top and go to sleep. Wake up when the big guns quit. Guess I will quit now and go eat. BERT. BERT PRESLEY, Hdq. Co. 363rd Inf., A. P. O. 776, American Ex. Forces. Do You Need a New Tire? GOODYEAR, RACfrTE, GOODRICH.
