LONDON, April 30-"I want at least
500, 900 volunteers"
Neville Chamberlain, England's di-
rector of National Service, has begun
his "Spring Drive"
Great Britain's army will require
large drafts of men during the coming
summer, to replace those killed, tired
out and wounded in the coming big
rush" on the western front.
Chamberlain believes that these re-
cruits can only be found in indus
tries which are essential to the war
Practically every Britain of military
age and fit, not engaged in an IN
dispensable occupation" has put on,
or been forced into, khaki. The COM
ing levy to replenish the fighting fore
es of the empire will call up men en-
ployed in industries of primary i'm
portance.
Substitutes for these men, therefore,
must be found at once.
Not only must their placed be filled,
but the tireless director is planning
to extend national service in many di-
rections. Lloyd George has said, and
all England knows, that service,
together with rigid food economy and
reciprocal methods on the high seas
is a vital factor in the war against the
submarine blockade. If national SER
vice slackens through failure of the
nations manhood to respond to the
call, the output of food, clothing, ano
all essentials will be seriously dim1n-
ished.
1.-THE labor of the country must be
organized" Chamberlain said, in max
ing his new appeal for half million
recruits for the "land army" 'Mer
must be transferred from the less es
sential industries to those of first i'm
portance."
