Ceo. T. Collins, county chairman of
the council of defense, and represen
tAtlves of the war labor community
board and federal employment bur
eau. ..- '
At this short session Major Hlb
bard outlined the plans prepared by
the state In cooperation with the
array authorities to take care of un
employed soldiers. 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."
. The plan to be followed is very
comprehensive and systematic. Each
community thru an organization com
posed of its various civic and war
aiding bodies will prepare a list of
all employers who need help and can
give employment, to be sent the state
central organization and make a re
port dally, la turn the state central
body turns this information over
daily to 1 the government. - Mayor
Baker of Portland, has been appointed-
by Governor AVtthycombe as chair
man. of the state body for stale cen
tral organization for Oregon.
, TSTot only this but each community
will furnish a list of homesteads
available, the number of suitable
lands for sale, and the process asked
the number of houses for rent in each
town and tlie prices of rents., for it
was pointed out bv'-Maior Hibbard
many soldiers at Pacific Coast camps
nave fallen in love with the coast sec
tion of the country and desire to lo
cate there permanently, and many of
them have money to invest. :
The major made it plain though
that this reconstruction employment
effort must notand would not par
take of any taint of real estate boom-
inev The statistics would be only
gathered to eive the soldiers desir
able and truthful information of op
portunities in each community of all
the states. '. ;" ' ,:" '.
lor would the Government and
army camps .. act as employment
agents. The community information
Fould be turned over to the soldiers
at the encampments for their' pernsal
and for them to investigate bv per
sonal visits or bv correspondence.
- ' A meeting will be held tonight la

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. . - . .

SAN FRANCISCO, Doc. 82. 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. With the
need of conservation in the matter of
our forests it is realized that a great
loss Is sustained annually by the cut
ting down ot millions of small firs
and ptnea for use ns Christmas trees.
The Amorlcan Forestry association
points out the great wasto entallod
in sotting up community trees every
Christmas and then throwing them
away, and advocatos the permanont
planting as suggested. It also Is
urging the planting of memorial
trees to soldiers' and sailors ot each
community who have fallen In the
war and the schome generally Is be
ing adopted.
Tho planting of a permanent com
munity Christmas tree also could be
in the nature of such a memorial, It
Is suggested.
