GROWTH OF THE ARMY
ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT

Washington, D. c., Dec. 5-Before
the war began the United States gov
ernment employed approximately
100000 persons in the civil branch.
Now that this country is actually en-
gagged in the conflict, the great army
of workers behind the fighting forces
is growing by tens of thousands. A
good example of this rapid addition
of employees is in the civilian force of
the Ordnance Department of the
Army. Seven large privately owned
office buildings in Washington are re-
quired to house the officials and clerks
of this force, in addition to the usual
quarters in the state, war and navy
building, which We're sufficient before
Uncle Sam began to prepare for
war. The gun division alone, which
did not exist as separate division
before we entered the war, now has
more than two thousand civilian en-
ployees besides about three hundred
commissioned officers, and it is esti'
mated that this division will be three
times its present size within a year
The great manufacturing plants OF
the ordnance department in various
parts OF the country employed about
10000 men last spring. Now 10000
are at work in these establishments
The task Of supplying these thou
sands of workers in the face of the
greatest demand for labor the coun'
try has ever known is the problem OF
the United States Civil Service com
mission. At this time great numbers
Of men and women are needed to fill
stenographic and other positions II
the offices at Washington and me-
chanical trades and technical positioni
in the government plants for manu-
featuring artillery and ammunition
The local boards Of civil service ex'
aminers at the post offices in all cit
les are furnishing detailed informa'
tion concerning positions in which
men and women are needed.

LE|PS|C SOCIALIST PAPER |
SKEPT|CAL ABOUT TERMS
Radical Newspaper Questions Sin.
cerity of No Annexations and
No Indemnities Policy.

COPENHAGEN, June 90, via London.
The Volks zeitung of Leipsic, an
organ of the radical German socialists.
publishes an article entitled THE Truth
About the Peace Policy of the Govern
ments Socialists" in an effort to prove
that Phillip Scheidemann, DIR. Eduard
David and their associates in the So
cialist majority party are not sincere in
their advocacy of the policy of no an
nexations and no indemnities.
The newspaper contends they have
taken up this cry merely under the
pressure of the seeding socialist min
ority and the revolution in Russia. 1t
cites extracts from earlier utterances
of DR.. David and Herr Scheidemann
and decisions reached in party caucuses
to prove that the majority previously
advocated both annexations and indem-
mites. Herr Scheidemann is quoted as
having said in a caucus in February
of 1915 that an indecisive termination
of the war. such as he and his friends
are now advocating. would mean only a
respite from war and that another con-
flict would come in two or three years.
The Eolks Zeitung asserts that the radi-
cal socialists are the only genuine ex-
ponents of peace without annexations or
indemnities: that their efforts to commit
the party to this doctrine and to force
Chancellor Won Betbmann Hollweg. by
means of interpretations. to show his hand
and disclose his terms were throttled con-
SANITY by the socialist majority, and that
the radicals hnally were read out OF tne
party for refusing to vote for the war
credits and budget as a protest against
the annexationist attitude of the chancel-
lor and the non-socialist parties in the
reichstag.
The newspaper cites comment of the
Berlin socialist organ Vorwaerts on the
chancellor's speech in the reichstag on
May Is. to the effect that the chancellor
declarations do not exclude the posi-
bility that Germany wishes to entice Rus
STA to a separate peace in order then 10

cally all designs of conquest.
The Nolks lettings article does not
further the cause for which both
brands of socialists now profess to De
torkIng and. of course, has no puf-
,ose other than to win adherents to
ne seeding socialists. 1t affords in
