Impossible for the United States to

"The United States public service

making equipment, for gun manufac-
turing, for mechanical draughting, for
hundreds of other vital operations,

gripping the peace industry. We will
not draw away an over-production of

any n industry, from any one en-
pjloyer. War means suffering. A con-
siderable disturbance of industry is
inevitable. The public service reserve
proposes to bring about the necessary

turbance as possible. We want no in

Differs From Army Enlistment.
Men who enroll in the United
States public service reserve state
their trade and suggest other classes
of work they could do, If necessary, for
the war. The enrolled men will re-
main at their present jobs and when
they are notified that an opportunity
to put them into wal work has arisen,
they are under no obligation to accept
the new jobs unless satisfied with
wages and conditions. Thus their en-
rollment In the reserve differs from IN
listment in the army, where the soldier
has n choice but to obey.
Every day more and more Ameri-
can workers are beginning to feel in
their hearts that In this critical period
Of the nations history they should be
devoting their energies to the actual
war needs Of their country. BY en-
rolling In the United States public re-
serve they enjoy a happier conscience,
for they know that they have thereby
declared their patriotism and that the
moment a war Industry needs men of
their type they will be given a chance
to serve the country without leaving

WashingtOn.-A United States pub

Ing In cooperation with the shipping
board and William Edwin Hall is d.
recting the work. State directors are
being appointed and local ~organiza-

THE primary object Of this cam.

large list Of skilled and ~semi-skilled
men who are not now producing war
material or doing work useful to the
prosecution Of the war, and to get
them into the shipyards and the fac

ut appears from published reports,
such as the arrival of the Rainbow Di-

American troops at or near the firing
line is constantly increasing, and we
