There = dangerous scarcity OF

10 the high wages offered by firms en-
gagged in the manufacture of munitions.
From reliable source H. was learned
last night that the industrial division
OF the navy yard, OF which Captain
George L. Burd is the head has been
making strenuous efforts for several
weeks 10 employ 800 clippers. cals-
crs and shipftters. The officers have
been unsuccessful. and are no better
OF than they were two weeks ago.
So many firms have been holding out
good contracts 10 navy yard workmen
and those on the eligible list for en-
poymeut that there have been whole
sale designations, as well as failures 10
report. Several hundred cards have
been sent 10 shiphtters, helpers, chip
pers, calkers and drillers in the last
two weeks asking the men to report for
employment Immediately. Two-thirds
Of the men either did not receive the
cards or they did not want 70 work for
Uncle Sam.
The orders for the work on the
great feet at the navy yard are impers-
tive, and never before have the officials
felt the scarcity Of the labor market.
There are six thousand men now en-
ployed. greater number than ever be-
fore, yet the efforts to increase the
force temporarily have failed. The pay
offered by the government is good, but
it is nothing in comparison with thai
held out by private manufacturers.
Bluejackets Aid Work.
Bluejackets Of the ships stationed at
the navy yard have been helping civil
ian workers get the ships ready.
For several months the force or
skilled workers has been gradually di-
minishing. Even though the pay for
machinists was increased few weeks
ago emissaries Of the munitions manu-
facturers have been visiting the yard
with offers Of twice the amount OF
money the machinists receive from the
government.
Shiphtters, cakers. clippers and
drillers are in the same situation. Con-
Germs which are constructing subma-
rines and smaller vessels are making
raids on the navy yard force. Attempts
"were made to meet the wages or the pri-
vate firms, but their scales have been
placed so high that the officers who
were working in the interest OF the men
had to abandon the attempt at salary
competition.

STERN INDICTMENT,
ASSERTS EDITOR
One of the Noblest Acts IN
Memory of Mankind, An.
other Comment.

Paris. April 21.-The comment Of the
French press on President Wilson's
address to Congress may be summed
up in these words, which the Petit
Parisien" prints in large type as
heading over the text Of the speech;
Never has the head Of state pro-
nounced such grave words against
state with which it is not at war.
The Presidents address has made
deep impression in France. All the
newspapers give IT the place Of honor
II overshadows the British Cabinet
crisis and even the arrival Of Russian
forces at Marseillcs. The speech Is not
merely a formal injunction, the Petit
Parisien" says, II is a closely knit and
stern Indictment, pronounced in the
name of all neutrals against German
barbarity and duplicity, marking the
German government with brand which
nothing can eface."
Calls Address Epoch Making
The "Natin" characterizes the ad-
dress as epoch making, and continues:

men Of the rights Of humanity he has

inheritance. II is In the name OF legal

Justice
"in those few words his whole mes
sage is summed up. It Is an historical
event which is deserving Of our admira-
ton az one Of the noblest acts IN the
memory Of mankind
Stephen Pichon, former Foreign
Minister, says in the Petit journal
that the frmness and solemnity WIN
which MIR. Wilson made known his res
olution to Congress recall the greatest
days Of American history.
Attitude Calm and ResolUte.
He continues: whether or not the
Germans dsavow the action of their
submarines, they are caught III thtil

falls TO the ground before the calm and
resolute attitude Of great country
standing up for the rights of human

authorities on international politics,

II the Germans wished they could easily
transport to our shores five hundred
- thousand men. but the General Staff at
Berlin knows that $50. 600 veterans are SUI
hcient. Consequently their definite plans arc
made for the transportation of but quarter
million well-equipped, perfectly armed men.
Germany has the second largest mer-
chant marine in the world. which affords
hrst-class transport feet. not surpassed even
by highlands S.
Germany has greatest resources tor en-
terprises of this kind, and is more efficient
than any other country.
In our loading of East Asia transports, IT
required one to one and one-half hours to
load one battalion. The speed of our load
ing has amazed departmental circles in
general.
For long distance transportation our
large harbors on the North and East seas
can be utilized equally well for embarka-
ton Speed is the chief requisite. y
Especially suitable harbors on the North
Sea are Emden, Wilhelmshaven and
Bremerhaven, in connection with Bremen and
Cuxhaven with Hamburg and Cuckstadt.
'Bremerhaven is by far the best. from
this point two or more divisions could be
shipped daily without difficulty. Cuxhaven
is not so we'll situated but its connection
with Hamburg is important If it were
brought up to full development it could
take care OF two divisions day, which Ham
burg could well supply.
The United States at this time Is not IN
position to oppose our troops with an army
Of equal rank Its regular army actually
totals 65 900 men of whom not more than
$4,000 are ready to defend the home
country. Cd
Certainly the Germans could not land an
invading army without thoroughly equpping
them Their 100000 men would bring with
them 48 batteries Of six guns each. 1t IS
reported by several different military authorl-
ties that we have twelve field guns east Of
the Mississippi; even should this number be
tripled. we would have but one field gun to
every twenty-iour OF the Germans. Ger
many according to the present minimum
armament of the men she has in the field
land her men must be well equipped or
they could not hold their trenches), has now
reserve of l9.400 field guns, while we
have but $50. The average size Of the Ger
man guns is twice the size of ours.
The German army would be amply sup
piled with ammunition. Germany has
shown for eighteen months that she does not
start a campaign until she is able to furnish
sufficient supplies.
1T is almost a certainty that victorious
assault on the Atlantic coast tying up the I'M
porting and exporting business OF the whole
country. would bring about such an annoy

ing situation that the government would be
willing to treat for peace. OBJ
TO accomplish this end, the invaders
would have to inflict real material damage by
injuring the whole country through the sue
cesslul seizure of many Of the Atlantic sea
ports in which the threads Of the entire
wealth of the nation meet
Only peace at-any price insanity can pre-
vent us from realizing that once the Germans
have crossed the Atlantic they will carry
on a campaign, unless we agree to their de
mands, of destructiveness (real material
DAMAGE.
On the chart Our Chances on Land
Against German Invasion, as well as on the
chart Our Chances on Land Against British
Invasion, every fighting factor of the United
States is not only given at its full value, but
oftentimes greatly exaggerated. This is
done not to misead. but because of my de-
sire not to underestimate any factor OF our
resources For instance the line represent
ing the guns with our army Of the East (the
only army together with the Eastern militia
that could be gathered quickly enough to
meet a rapid invasion) is 900 per cent longer
than it ought really to be- 1t is made thus
because It is hoped that by some miraculous
means a few Of the guns west of the Missis-
sippi might be rushed to the Eastern coast in
time to be OF some value. The most Opt
mistic, however can hardly expect me to
give greater leeway than an exaggerated est
mate Of 900 per cent. All lines representing
supplies are Of course greater than the actual
amount on hand
Two real defenders OF the country that
must not be forgotten are Major General
Frederick Funston and Major General Leon
ard Wood General Funston has ! 900
men under his command in the Department
of the South, including Texas. through which
hostile forces might seek to come from
Mexico. lie is a veteran and knows how
to handle troops General Wood com
mands the Eastern division and has 5000
men under his command. go
No one doubts for moment the ability
the saneness and the Justly honored efficiency
Of General Wood. and for that very reason
we ought to accept his opinion as 70 what
he could do with the army in its present con
dtion. He has definitely stated that 1t
would take at least thirty days to mobilize
our present army Of $4,000 men, to say
nothing of enlisting, organizing and equip
ping citizen soldiery.
