 The imperative demands of the war have made it impossible to avoid calling up men fit for active service even though skilled in farming. As far as possible this is being met by bringing on to the land men and women from other indus tries They cannot be expected to do work equal to that of men expert in ag- rlculture; but there is no time for delay and the government is confident that farmers will at once step forward and do all in their power to utilize their services t. the best advantage.

Field Marshal Haig's bulletin to- night, giving the number of guns captured as 166 and the aggregate of prisoners as 13,000 and the details of new territory gained for France from the invader, marks the battle of Arras as great victory. But the significant statement from Field Mar shal Haig is that the British are "astride" the Hindenburg line.
 The famous Hindenburg line had been proclaimed by it's author as we'll as by German experts as a sort of great wall of China that would be as impregnable to assault as that of one of the seven wonders of the world which has so long has been an adamanat barries to protect an ancient Chinese dynasty.
 German experts have been even firmer in their faith in Won Hindenburg's S eighth wonder of the world'' than they were a few months ago that Vimy ridge was unconquerable.
 The German belief in the Von Hinden- burg Buddha has even served to hyp- notlze part of the British public and some prominent writers who have been dis posed to accept the German theory ex- pounded in German papers that every thing that has occurred on the western front has gone according to Von Hinden- ebprg's plans and as foreseen by him.
 A number of European military writers have taken the view that the linden burg line was myth, painted to hearten the German people. But the British gem eral staff for sometime has known that there is definite Hindenburg line upon which the German staff was basing it's defense and has known exactly where that line was drawn.

Scarcity of labor is the explanation
given for all manner of projects and
changes. Every employer who cannot
Immediately find a person to do a
particular kind of work, even that of
moving furniture, at once raises the
howl, Scarcity of Labor" These va
rious walls coming from many differ
ent places and constantly reiterated
become in the public mind an estab-
lished fact, even without investigation,
and today there is a general impress
sion that there is a real scarcity of
workers in this country, but scarcity
is such relative term that this i'm
preston cannot be accepted as fact
without thoro and scientific inves-
tigation.
This matter is of serious Importance
because there are at the present time
under consideration proposals for gov
ernment policies based on the supposed
scarcity of labor.
In this connection it would be well
to remember that the managerial part
of industry has been very poorly or
ganized, if organized at all. Employ
ers have never taken the pains to use
carefully and for the purpose of con-
servation any factor in production
which was not expensive. Only when
workers have succeeded in making
their labor power of sufficient finan-
cial consideration have they not only
secured recognition of their rights, but
also for protection of their physical
strength. Cheap workmen seem to
have no rights which captains of in
dustry care for or are bound to re-
spect.
1t has been the settled policy of
large corporations, such as the steel
companies, to have always available
a mass of unemployed. These can be
called on when ever needed and dis
missed as the temporary needs cease.
AS a result, these great corporation
managers, when they find that they
cannot readily pick up hundred men
for one or two hours extra work, feel
that they have been denied condi-
tion that assured cheap labor, and have
at once declared scarcity of workers.
From government departments have
come also these complaints of scarcity
of workers and frequently upon
grounds equally fiimsy.
Wherever a genuine need of labor
has been presented, the trade union or
ganizations have never failed to pro-
duce willing workers necessary for
government work. However, they have
found very great difficulty in doing
this at times because of the practices
of the government.
In the government navy yards and
other establishments the work is not
carefully planned in order to keep
their force of workers constantly en-
ployed. They take it for granted that
men can be employed few days in a
week, then dismissed and then re-
employed at the end of few days or
a week, and will cheerfully submit to
conditions that fail to provide an as
sured income.
Government establishments some
times pay wages under the prevailing
rate in private industries or denote
workers or impose other hardships on
them. Under such conditions their in
ability to secure sufficient workers is
not due to a scarcity of workers but to
the fact that these establishments are
