Washington, April i4.--Recruiting

Secretary Daniels was so pleased that

Council
Plans to Enlist
Industrial Army

Washington, April IA. Plans for the
official recognition Of members of a
great Industrial army to man the plants
essential to supply food and munitions
TO tho army and navy are under con-
sideration By the Council Of National
Defence.
Several large industrial organiza-
tions. among Them the Edison Electric
Company, Of New York and Boston,
have urged that the council take steps
TO keep their working forces and or
carnations intact. This would involve
tho exemption Of employees from com
pulsory military service or provision
for discretionary authority delegated
70 the Secretary Of War or TO the
council TO exempt employees OF neces-
sary war industries.
II has been suggested that persons
in the Industrial army be regularly
enlisted and given some badge TO dis
tinquish Them from civilians not ac-
tivelv engaged in the national service.
Il is probable that plans for the IN
dustrial force. which will include
Great army of farmers. Will be com
Dle,ed within the next week.

Capital Cheers French Tars
Sailors from Warships Welcomed
Everywhere in Washington


Washington. April IA Washington
to-day played host to some hundreds OF
French sailors on shore leave from the
French warships at a nearby port.
Everywhere on the streets the tars, who
we're unmistakable with their little red
tufted caps, were cheered b. crowds
and some were kissed by enthusiastic
girls.
A large batch of the sailors, dropping
INTO restaurant for luncheon, found IL
impossible to pay their bill. A dozen
men were at the cashiers desk with
rolls Of bills to pay. As the tars
marched out every one IN the big room
stood and cheered.
The astonshed sailors stood al the
door for "A minute. Then they shouted

there was more cheering.

bers.
