ever arriving.
To-day" he declared, ''the American
people and the Japanese people are

EVERY MAN AND WOMAN MUST
ENGAGE IN WAR WORK

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Aug s..
The National Efficiency Board Great
eT bv the New Zealand Government has
decided that every man and woman in
the Dominion must engage in war work
if necessity arises. 1t also sent a
circular to school boards suggesting
that the midwinter holidays which
fall in August be curtailed and the
time saved then be added to the mid
Simmer Christmas holidays. This would
sive about eight weeks vacation dur
ing which the larger boys could assist
in sheep shearing, fruit-picking, hop
gathering and other outdoor work. Last
Christmas a number of school boys did
this and some of them earned from $50
upward
It seems certain that some measure
Of the kind will take place owing to
the steady depletion of labor by con
scription. Men fit only for home mil
itary service will be organized for
war work but it is expected that at
present women will not be. But if the
war long continues female labor is
likely to be similarly utilized

IN ROLAND ON
BOARD A LINER-N0 PERILS

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Aug S.
Vacations may be enjoyed in Boland on
board liner without the present-day
perils This privilege is conferred by
the use as floating hotel of the 10000
ton steamship Jan Pieterszoon Coen,
one of the Netherland Steamship Com
pany's colonial liners. In normal times
this ship runs between here and the
Dutch East Indies but since the unre-
stricted submarine war, her owners
have laid her up for safety in Amster-
dam harbor.
The steamer was anchored at an at
tractive spot on the North Sea Canal
between Velsen and Ymuiden, and
opened as a hotel. Remunerative pat
ronage was easily secured, at prices &C
cording with those of first-class no.
tells at Hollands esaside resorts, and
there was big run on this innovation
in European holiday facilities.

NEW ZEALAND To
FORCE EVERY MAN
To Be ENROLLED

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Aug. 8.
The New Zealand police hereafter
will enforce that section of the New
Zealand military service law which
aims at the enrolment Of every man
of military age in the Dominion in the
e peditionary force reserve. Policemen
may accost citizens and make enquir-
les accordingly. Eligible men not en-
rolled will be liable to a fine of $3.50
or three months Imprisonment. 1t is
hoped by this step not only to ensure
that the name of every fit man is on
the roll but to detect men who have
failed to comply with the military bal
lot drafting by means of numbered
marbles and card indexes. That is
every man who is not in military uni
form will have to have either an en-
rolment certificate or a "leaye pass
showing that he has been medically re-
jected. 1t is expected that the powers
thus given the police will lead to
many incidents.
Another change under the military
service act which took effect this month
is relative to the classification OF the
men of the second reserve division
the married men. Originally this diyis-
ion was to have been classified accord
ing to the mems dependents but lately
the government decided that the basis
shall be children only. Thus married
men without children will be called VI
first. those with one child next and sc
on Married men without children are
estimated to number about $4,000, The
first of the married men will be draft
Ell in September or October.
