Germany Didn't Want War, Dramatic Declaration of Hindenburg
(Special to the Citizen'.) Berlin, Nov. 1!).�Field Marshal Von Hindenburg declared before the sub-commit tee of the national assembly investigating the war responsibility: "I know with absolute certainty that neither the people, the kaiser nor the government desired war. The government knew better than others Germany's tremendously difficult position in a war against the Entente. "Germany's   defensive   strength,"
said the field marshal, "was as unfavorably as possible from the start. It might be left for history to decide why Germany's peace policy had failed. If the military authorities had prepared for the possibility of an unavoidable war," continued Von Hindenburg, ''that was only its ee;i an unqualified success. Thousands of returned men have bean successful in obtaining employment through the efforts of the S. C. R. representatives and numbers of employers of labor have been supplied with men by them. Their motto in the past has been and always will be: ��Service�-the right man for the right job." In pursuance of the above policy they have earned the gratitude both of employers and men.
It is expected that in the course of a week the office in Prince George will be under the guidance of Mr. S. George and able to handle the anticipated volume of work to be carried on in this district. It is hoped that employers of labor in the district will co-operate by placing their orders for men with the local official, and thereby help to overcome the most serious problem of today�that of unemployment.
Mr. Harry D. Gilpin, of Vancouver, who Is now in the city, expects to remain for about two weeks attending to the establishing of Mr. George in his office, which will be located on George street, next to Mr. Henry Wilson's office.
