Application for accom- modations can be made by new ap- pointees through correspond nee be fore leaving home or by calling at the office of the Washington Cham Der of Commerce, No. ell Twelfth Street, N. W, upon their arrival in Washington.
 Stenographers and typewriterS make up a large part of the addi- tions to the force at Washington Thousands have been appointed and thousands more are needed. Ship draftsmen for the Navy Departm nt, mechanical draftsmen for the ser vice generally, and statlsticians and what are known as clerks qualified in business administration, clorks qualified in statistics or accounting, index and catalogue clerks. balanc of stores clerks, and schedule cl9rk for the Ordnance Department of tn Army are also in great demand. Rep resentatiyes of the United State Civil Service Commission at the pot offices in all cities are furnishin" detailed information concerning pc sitions at Washington in which work CTS are needed.

 Yes, and If the people of the States could see what we see over here that the Huns do. they would rise up as one man and absolutely destroy the German nation. for they are not human, but fiends.
 Our boys are in the front line trenches now. It was only a day or so ago that the Germans made a drive and took about two thousand American prisoners, and you know that means torture for them. This has to stop. but will not until the U. s. wakes up and gets few mil lion men here. and that means ev, erybody do his bit
