BOYS WHO TAKE PLACES
OF MEN ARE WORKING WELL

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Wartime
mobilization of the boy labor of the
nation is the purpose of a two-day con-
vention Of the United States Boys
Working Reserve, which opened in the
offices Of the Council of National De-
Tense here today. The vast labor
shortage, which, it is believed, will en-
sue when Consumption goes into effect,
is hoped to be partially offset by the
utilization of Americas youth in agri-
culture and the industries.
Included in the list of speakers to-
day were Secretary of Labor Wilson,
Herbert c. Hoover, DR.. P. P. Claxton,
United States commissioner of educa-
tion and w. S. Clifford, director of the
Council of National Defense.

set out to attain when they accepted
Cermany's challenge to civilization de-
clared Lloyd George, the British pre-
mier in a speech at Glasgow today. To
permit the war to come to an end a
single hour sooner would be "the great.
est disaster that ever befell mankind"
he added.
These utterances possess notable
significance at this moment when
there has been suggestion that the al
led powers fighting Germany might
agree to some revision of the previous.

turning the sheep on alfalfa they should
be filled up on hay. fodder or other
rouehaee and turned out only when the
alfalfa is free from moisture OF any

They should be allowed to pasture
