An army officer from Camp Lewis has been sent to every Pacific coast state to start or ganizations In every community to take care of this work. The major will spend 10 days In southern Ore gon and the Willamette valley. The reconstruction program links tip national and local efforts and cen trales in each community thru the local organisation-all information as to proper-openings in industry:- com merce, and agriculture available to the returned fighters of the nation. It calls for assisting them, to the best work the country can give them, the Individual qualifications being con sidered, and for sending as many as possible to the farms. - ' "It 1b a duty we owe the returned soldier who ottered his life in the country's defense," said Major- Hib fcard at the meeting today. "Since most soldiers are expected to return to their borne communities the task of aiding them to find work Is pri marily a community responsibility." .

LONDON. Dec. 23. William Hoh enzollcrn has arranged for himself a Christmas celebrot on after the tra ditional German style, as fur ns the circumstanced will permit, according to a difipntch to the Daily Express from Amsterdam : today. The ar rangements, bv the ex-emeporor's in sistence, will include elaborate reli gious ceremonies on Christmas eve. The idea of using the village chapel for these, however, has proved mi practicable for various reasons, one of them beuiir the fear of possible hostile demonstrations. - The services. accordingly, will be held in the draw- ing room of Amerongen castle, whioh will be converted into a chapel. The ex-emperor .desired to have the court chaplain. Dr. Ernest von Dryander. come from Berlin to preach the sermon at the Christmas ove cere monv, but the Berlin government, says the dispatch, has refused permission for the chanluin to go to Holland. The service will be conducted bv a Ger man missionary from Ziest. near Am erongeii, but Hcrr Hohenzollern him self will deliver the sermon. ' Many friends of. Count Von Bent- inok, the former emperor's host, have been asked to attend the service, the message adds, but have refused. The former ruler's audience, therefore. will consist of Count Yon Bcntniok and his family, the cx-amneror's suite and the servants of the castle. The feature of the Christmas din ner will be the turkey. In accordance with Prussian family custom, Herr Hohenzollern will do the canine him self. There also will be a plum pud ding, made after an old English re cipe, which is supposed the ex-emper or's mother. Princess Victoria, took to Germany with her from Windsor Castle. . - . .

Tho planting ot a llvo fir In a suitable location to be used each Christmas as a municipal tree Is a suggestion which has been proposed from all sections of the couutrv to tho Amer ican Forestry association.
