Detroit-For the month ending Sep
TENDER 30 the Michigan state employ
ment bureau, obtained positions for
5.542 males and 152 females. More
than half the positions obtained for
the men we're for common labor.
The shortage Of domestic help Is in
dicated by the fact that but 152 posi-

Detroit passed the s4o,OO0,OOO mark
in her efforts to obtain her Fourth
Liberty Loan quota OF $73,3S7 $50.
The big impetus to the drive was
given by the announcement that the
Henry Ford interests would subscribe
for s7,000,000 worth of bonds
The Ford Motor Co. takes $4,000, 900
worth, OF which it is expected that
the employees will sign for $4,000, 900.
The various Ford branches about
the country take 100000 worth,
while the Henry Ford & Son Tractor
Co. will take s1,O00,OO0. Thus ST.
100000 goes into the Detroit quota.
Thursdays total for the loan in De-
troit reached $26 900. With the
Ford help and the assurance OF at
least 100000 in general subscrip-
tions for today, the city passes the
halfway post.

registered in the new draft. He drew
the first capsule, which contained the
number 322.
Amid ceremonies profoundly i'm
pressive and of transcendent historical
significance, Gen. Peyton G. March,
chief of staff of the army, received in
person this vast force of as yet ununi-

And from this reservoir of man pow

ever offered by the people of any ma

March is to recruit the army of 4,000-
900 men which he has promised to
have overseas by July next to back
up General Pershing on the battlefields
Of Europe.
Every man in the registration is af.
fected, as from those who are not
called for active military duty the
cOuntry's war managers propose to
mobilize great industrial army Of
war workers to make certain of a con-
stantly flowing stream of men and mu-
nitions TO the field of battle.
The roll call. which is to assign to
each of the 100000 men a military
number determining the order in
which he is to be called, was begun by
President Wilson himself, and not fin
ished until late in the afternoon next
day.
AS the tally sheets were filled they
were rushed over to the government

list, which, when completed, were sent
by General Crowder to all district

Provost Marshal Gen. CrOwder guild

Washington. American, British
and Italian warships have destroyed
the Austrian Naval Base, at Durazzo,
Albania. This brilliant exploit, which
was carried out, seems TO have re-
duced the Austrians to one large
naval center in the Adriatic, that OF
Pola, though the port OF Fiume may
be used for such a purpose.
The attack, when the Austrians in
southern Albania are in dire straits
after losing their support lines east
ward through Macedonia, appears to
be significant.
Italian troops launched an offensive
there recently. 1t suggests that per-
haps military operations may be be-
gun along the Northern Albanian
Coast in the rear of the retreating
Austrians.
Thus the situation holds large pos
sibilities. Durazzo is within 100 miles
of Brindisi, the Italian Naval Base,
and is in easy striking distance OF
Corfu. from which are directed the
operations of the Allied fleets in the
Mediterranean sea.
Italian and British cruisers, pro-
tected by Italian and Allied torpedo
boats and American submarines, sue
ceeded in making their way through
mine fields, and avoiding attacks by
submarines, got into Durazzo harbor
An intense bombardment followed
until the base and the Austrian ships
anchored there were destroyed. tia

nized as hospital ship, was permit.

British and Italian airplanes co-po-
Grated. American and other Allied
warships were drawn up in order of
battle outside of the harbor to deal

No losses OF damage were suffered
by the Allied squadron, except slight
damage to a British cruiser by tor

rector General McAdoo, with pro-
portional advances for assistants

Is cents an hour higher than the
wages paid these men in most

vance allowed two months ago by
