TRAINING SKILLED MECHANICS.
Is the Next Step in National Preparation
For the War.

Training skilled mechanics and high
grade helpers is the next step in ma
tional preparation, according to the de
partment of the interior, which has sent
broadcast, through the bureau of educa.
ton, an appeal to trade schools, manual
training high schools, and all schools
with shopwork departments, to pre-.
pare to meet the demands that will come
for semi-technical workers in the metal
trades and other industries. President
Wilson, Secretary of Commerce Reifield
and other government officials are also
vigorously behind the effort to enlist vo-
cational schools and classes everywhere
in the establishment of this second line
of industrial defense.
at is impossible" says the depart
ment's statement, "to forecast definitely
the numbers of mechanics and operatives
of various kinds that will be required.
Officers of the army, navy and civil serv-
ice commission are agreed, however, that
during the next few months there will
be an unsual demand for capable fore
men, mechanics, and high grade helpers
in number of important occupations"
The following are some of the workers
who will be most urgently needed: Au-
tomobile mechanics, bakers, blacksmiths,
boat builders, chauifeurs, cooks, drafts
men, electricians engineers (steam), en-.
gineers tgasl, machinists, motorcycle me-
chanics, painters, pipeftters, riveters,
shipftters, saddlers, shipwrights, tent
makers, textile workers, wheelwrights,
stenographers, typewriters.
1t is pointed out that the demands for
these workers will come from the regu-
lar enlisted corps of the army and navy,
from the enlisted reserve corps of the
army and navy, from the eligible regis
ters OF the civil service commission, and
from private employers whose workers
are called into government service. Aft
er the war there will also be a contin-
ued demand for similar workers in the
reorganization and reha biltation of in
dustry.
Maintaining school throughout the
summer months, encouraging students
between l6 and 20 years of age now al
ready enrolled to continue their train
ing, and discouraging premature entrance
into industry, are urged as necessary.
The Bureau warns particularly against
any relaxation of standards, pointing |
out that half baked mechanics will in
the end and inevitably impair the eciency |
of any branch of the service. Young |
persons now enrolled in technical courses |
should be urged to complete their courses,
even at the cost of some temporary sac
riice, if necessary, in order that they
may ultimately contribute the maxi
mum of service when needed" say bu-
resu officials.
Schools are urged also to offer special
courses through the summer
months to train mechanics and machine
operatives of various types.
There are over 500 special schools
available for service of the kind indicated
now on the lists of the bureau of edu-
,ation, according to the departments
and these schools have been
,sked TO notify the commission of edu-
,ation at once as to the plans that will
be adopted for carrying out the sugges-
ions Of the government.

The only error in the drawing came to
the light near the end this morning
when capsule was found containing a
blank instead of a number. The lists
will be rechecked and the missing num-
Der assigned to the last place in the
drawing.
The telegraphic feat of transmitting
the numbers as they were drawn is con-
sidered one of the notable features. The
Associated Press virtually cleared its
wires of other matter and gave the right
of way to the numbers, with the result
that the papers were able to give their
readers promptly the lists of those chos-
en- in the exemption districts.
With the close of the drawing, the
bulk of the business of making the new
army ready for service will pass to state
and local authorities. They must post
the numbers of the men first to be
called, must summon them for examina-
tions and later must take up the subject
of exemptions.
As a result of the drawing every regis
tered man is given definite place in the
liability for service list. Already 6S7,000
have been ordered to the colors to fill to
war strength the regular army and Ma
tional Guard and to constitute the first
increment of the national army. To Sc
cure them l,374,000 men will be called
for examination, officials estimating that
two registrants must be called for ev-
cry soldier accepted. These l,374,000 will
be taken from the head of the liability
list, every local district furnishing fixed
quota.
The drawing was conducted with cere-
monies as democratic as the ideal of cit
izenship is embodied.
