SHIP BUILDERS RESERVE.
hcason for the Organization of The
Ship Builders Reserve.


Inc workers of Sumter are asked
by the government of this nation to
help, If called upon, in the work of
building ships. To this end the com
mlttee IN Sumter has had cards print
ed on which a man may signify his
Willingness. with his occupation and
address. Every carpenter, plumber
mechanic and painter is requested to
sign one of these cards if he is wil,;no.
to go join in this work if he is cau.d
upon later.
Our country is at war; our troops
must fight upon a foreign soil three
thousand miles away. They must be
gotten there; after they are there they
must be supplied with all thew need
both to fight with and to live upon
and the needs of a modern army are
great. This is war of material and
of contrivances. One man is as about
as powerful as another man; it de-
ponds upon what he has to work with
what headway he will make.
The immense advantage that Tho
Central Allies have had so far over
their opponents is simply that they
are the central allies. They transport
men and material over short distances
within their own territory; the others
have to go around the edges. Trans
portation is playing an immense part
in this war. and the poor facilities
for transportation is Russia's weakest
point today. America will be weak
or strong in proportion as she can
move men and supplies forward rap
idly or slowly.
TO go across seas we must have
ships; the submarines are sinking
ships, so we must build new ships
Ships, more ships. and yet more
ships" is the slogan. We have to
build ships faster than we ever built
ships before. ten times faster, and we
need more men to do the work than
are now employed in the shipbuilding
trade; we need help from men in 9th
er lines of work.
Where are they to come from?
Shall ship contractor send q slick
tongue artist among some BUILDING
contractors force and persuade them
all to leave? Shall a special drive be
made in some few places and the
whole crowd there be taken away.
leaving no men for the needs of that
place? Those methods are the meth
DDS the government will not allow.
and the creation Of the shipbuilders'
reserve is for the very reason of see
ing that such ways shall not be done.

and twenty painters are
needed at plant the desire is to

Germany Is battling with despera-
tion probably unparalleled in the
war to hold the Flanders line against
the combined French and British at
tack. Despite being handicapped by
bad weather. the British have made
good their most important gains and
apparently are only waiting for bet
ter weather to blast their way farther
in.
The Berlin boast that the entente
thrust failed Is based on the unwar-
ranted assumption that an attempt
ws made to break through the en-
tire front. and upon the fact that at
one or two points the German reac-
ton regaincd advanced positions.
In answer the British regained one
OF these positions this morning de-
spite hard fighting.
The Germans continue pronounced
activity on the French front. Paris
reports two attacks east and south of
Rheims and assaults on the Avocourt
wood sector and South OF ST..
Mihiel. All attacks were repulsed.
Apparently some important movement
has started on the northern Russian
front. The Russians have been hold
Ing here. but have now evacuated the
bridgehead near Riga.
