1.-The United States can make this

Captain de la Grange was asked
how, in his judgment, this result
should be brought about.
First" he said, "a large industrial
commission shocid be sent to Frcnce.
Second. a large number of skilled
workmen should be recruited.
Third, the factories must work dur

Fifth, American factories must be
created in France"
He said that the effort to accomplish
all these things is possible and that

will do IT,"

TO THE PEOPLE
OF ELKO COUNTY

The Elko County Red Cross chapter
is now actively engaged in making
hospital garments. dressings, band
ages, ETC., for the benefit OF our
wounded soldiers. The only available
funds for the purchase Of material for
these supplies Is one half Of the an
nual membership dues. This amounts
to fifty cents for each member. The
chapter has already expended this en-
tire fund In the purchase of material.
and the new membership applications
are so few that they do not anywhere
near meet the requirements. II is,
therefore, necessary to provide some
means for raising enough money to
enable the chapter to keep an ample
supply of material on hand for its
regular work. We estimate that at
least $4,000 n month is necessary for
this purpose.
The personal voluntary monthly
subscription plan has been decided
upon as the means for raising this
money. Just as soon as you have read
this notice make up your mind how
much you can give each month, send /,
at once to the chapter secretary, Mrs.
Charles B. Henderson, Elko, Nevada,
stating IL is for the mouth OF August

AMERICA MUST PLACE
AIRPLANEs IN FRANCE
CONTINUED from rage pne)

The French workmen, when they un
derstood how important II was to turn
out for the front planes and motors in
great numbers and as rapidly as pos

work. because they knew that their
work at the factories would save the

'In order to examine every phase OF
this problem of intensive American
production. we must take up the ques-
ton Of transportation from America
TO France.
From now until January, 1918, the
proposed construction of boats will
augment the tonnage available and
this will permit the transportation of
the 1900 tons monthly. This repre- |
sents the 1000 motors which are to be |
sent every month. But / do not think |
1t will be possible to transport the |
fuselages or bodies, which, though |
light in weight, take up a great deal
of room; therefore, II is important to
consider the possibility of creating
aviation factories in France. There |
must we two kinds OF factories, the |
first TO build the fuselages and to do |
all the wood construction, the second
to repair the motors sent back. from
the front.
81 am convinced that the quickest
way in which the United States can
help the allies Is by aviation. In nine
me nths from now, on the LIST Of April,
1918, am sure it will be possible to
have a corps OF 5000 aviators trained.
equipped and armed. These men will
fight splendidly, because they are full
OF the sporting spirit. in good physical
condition. and very courageous. AS
soon as they arrive on the front. the
balance of the aerial supremacy will
weigh heavily In the favor of the al.
lies.
"In contrast to this, II Is difficult to
organize in nine months an army
which will be as we'll trained as that
OF the allies, whose armies have been
fighting for three years.

the prlmordial Importance OF the avia.

questioned by anyone. The allies &C.

OF the air, but they can not develop

Plan to Replace Men Drafted
from Offices with
Them
MANY TO BE EMPLOYED
AT LIGHTER HARD WORK
Some Already Work As Car
CleaDerS---Will Do Much
Office Work

New York, May 2.-Many big east
ern railroads today started making ar
rangements to employ women in place
of men called to arms by the draft.
Among the roads which are taking
these steps are the New Haven, Lehigh
Valley, Erie, New York Central, the
Pennsylvania and the Long Island.
The Central Railroad Of New Jersey
las not made any plans, but by expert
ments already conducted in its system
it feels sure that women can do the
work of large number of the men.
All roads made it plain that no men
would be displaced by women unless ae-
tually drafted. The women will be used
in departments not actually engaged in
physical operation Of trains
At the offices of the Lehigh Valley
road it was stated that women are now
being given preference in the hiring of
new employees, in departments where
they are able to do the work, as the
management expects many men will be
called to the colors within a few
months.
The Iehigh Valley is already employ
ing women as car cleaners and has
made some experiments with them as
train dispatchers. The New York Cen
tral also is employing women as eai
| cleaners.
The New Haven offices declared
there was no doubt steps would be tax
en- to have women take the place oil
drafted men. The Long Island is pre-
pairing to employ a large number OF
women in clerical departments. Thi'
road has already given work to scores
of women and the experiment is de
clared to be success.
Called Into Offices.
Between SEQ and 400 men employees
of the Grand Central terminal are mem
bers of the National Guard and momen
tarily are expecting a summons t.
duty All arrangements are being rush
ed to put women in their places. Somt
have already left and women are doing
their work.
The Erie offices stated an actua
famine in male clerical labor was al
ready being faced. Women are bein!
called in wherever possible.
/ HThey may also be used to sell tick
ets-and collect tickets also, for tina
natter" said one official.
The Central Railroad of New Jerse,
has not taken any actual steps yet, bu
experiments have been conducted to
/ show that the employment of women a
clerks, ticket agents and similar posi-
tions, is entirely feasible
! "This is a situation" it was said
(which every railroad and every indus
4 try must face. We might as well ge
ready in time. -
The Pennsylvania lines east of Pitts
burg have planned 70 place many wo
men in clerical positions and will late
try them in other and more importan
positions.

100000 Tons Of
Shipping Destroyed

thousand tons Of shipping was destroy

cording to shipping mems estimates,
Secretary Of the interior Lane told rep
resentatives of all state defense coun-
ellis at the opening session here today.
Ii this proportion continued, he de-
clared, it would seriously threaten the
life of Great Britain and France. He
pointed out the United States must aid
thoroughly in replacing the shipping in
order to offset German inroads.
American inventive genius, Lane as
serted, would find some means of com
batting the submarine. He indicated the
