WASHINGTON, oct. l2.-The Brit
ish War Mission will send a delegation
OF its members TO visit several MID
die Western ard Eastern manufactur-
ing centres. to acquaint both employ
ers and workers in the war industries
with the experience of England IN
handling labor problems during the
war. The British mission will be
headed by Sir Steyenson-kent, who has
charge of British labor exchanges dur
ing me war. Accompanying him VIII
be II. W. Garrod, II. &. Baltic, Cap
tain c. Asquith, son Of the former
British Prime Minister and Curtice
\. Hitchcock. representing the Coun-
ell cf Defence. The mission will visit
Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, st. Louis, Chi
capo. Detroit. Cleveland, Buffalo and
New York. Later it is planned to
visit several Of the larger munition
cities in Massachusetts, and Connect'-
cut.
The invitation to the British to
undertake this special mission for the
Council OF Defence is interpreted here
as another indication of the temerity
of officials regarding the labor situs-
ton. Chairman Hurley has already
admitted that labor shortages in the
shipvards of the country we're no"
seriously threatening progress on the
construction Of government tonnage
Howard f. Coffin, chairman of the AR
craft Production Board, 1t IS known
is similarly concerned about the labor
supply available for spruce numbering

bic that the War Department VIII take
unusual steps to solve this latter prob
lem within the next week.
At the Council OF Defence to-day II
was admitted the labor situation was
delicate" Just how delicate 1t was

Officials Of the American Federation
Of Labor declare that there Is at pres

To this exception is taken by officials

defence would collapse.
This appeal. the Premier said, was
not due To anxiety on account OF the
activity of submarines, for. owing to
defensive operations, that menace was
diminishing rapidly. The fact that the
British net losses during the last month
were less than in any similar period
since September Is, 1916, also was
pointed out.
Our anxiety" the Prime Minister
added. "is due TO the fact that the
available worlds supply Of food IS less

and Italy both are in the weird market
for n larger proportion of cereals than
ever, while Australia has been ruled
out as a provider owing to its distance
from the consuming nations Hence, 1t
is incumbent on the British farmers
that they do their utmost to make the

With this grim relic as his only prop

He is not the comedian Of former

stripped him Of much OF his fun, leay-

His only son.. Captain Lauder, Of the
