TO ]. N. Breen, assistant director
United States Employment Service OF
the State of Missouri The effort of
the employment bureau, in order to
conserve the labor supply throughout
the country, villa be to persuade the
aborers to farego any prejudice and
remain at their work.
Every week not less than 1000 900
workers fail to show up for work be-
cause of grudge against somebody or
something" said Breen, discussing the
labor situation when the workers
can be impressed with the fact that
their remaining at work. and not
leaving because of imagined dislike or
injustice, it means that 100000 posi-
tive labor forces will be added to labor
to take the place of the same number
that are now inefficient and only
partly useful
Concentration of the energies Of
these viii more than double the ca
pacity of the same workers. There
are at least that number who do not
realize that their concerted efforts
will be large contributing factor to
successful conclusion of the war"
Assistant Director Breen also called
attention to the fact that hundreds of
thousands Of men take needless days
off. By hard driving force, he de-
clares that it will be of great assist
ance to all branches of industry.
The officials and labor leaders point
out that the times are unusual, and
demand that each worker must make
unusual responses to the govern
mental necessity.
Where a worker quits because of
some fancied grievance, he is unem-
ployed for some days, when he could
just as well have been at work.
Where he is dissatisfied with fancied
conditions, the employee also does not
work as efficiently as where he makes
himself satisfied with conditions.
There is no doubt in the minds Of
labor officials that the vast majority
of workers already have speeded up
to the maximum, and they, conse-
quently, are eXempting these from
their calculations.
The speeding up of the individual
worker means Just that much more
capital that can be invested in the
Fourth Liberty Loan Bonds, which
will be placed on the market Septem.
Der %. By just that much saved to-
day when there is plenty to do means
that it will be just that much easier
as the individual workers grows older

The news from the Western Front
has been most cheering of late, and
i Liberty Loan workers may take unto
themselves need of praise for their
share in it without taking one iota of
the praise due to the boys in khaki at
the front who have so valiantly up
held the traditions of American arms.
!. The people in the Eighth District, as
well as throughout the nation, who
have responded so intellectually to
the calls for funds, and have bought
$50 freely of the Governments securi-
tea have supplied the boys over there
with the needed equipment, without
which their efforts would have been
lin vain.
Now that victory is in sight, the re-
spouse to the new demands will be
met all the more cheerfully, and the

amount, will be quickly subscribed

That was some drive which Marshal

he thrust them backward from the

their new line of defense along the
Aisne.
Never for moment did the Hun
hungry poilhs and Yanks stop their
dashing, smashing attack; never for a

moment was there thought with any

1t was world-thrilling exhibition of

Yankee punch.
1t gave the Crown Prince his most

America is in this fight to the limit.

SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
IS A GERMAN LIE
lNsIDloUS HUN PROPAGANDA Is
SPREAD TO HINDER FOURTH
LIBERTY LOAN.
RUMORED AT MANY PLACES
Enemy Victory the Only Thing That
Could Take Away American
Property.

reuSIdl dulHOIItleS are calling at
tention to a proGerman rumor that
has been in circulation for some weeks
that the Government, or some other
body unnamed, is to seize all savings
banks deposits for war purposes. OF
course this is nothing more nor less
than a pro-German lie stated by some
kaiserite or some weakened and
weak Drained American who might as
we'll have been in the Kaiser's pay
1t is difficult to believe that any sane
person in America would believe such
a report for minute. However, ii is
reported at Washington that II is being
believed by a few easily fooled per-
cons Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo says that the foc,ishness of these
minors Is plain. but in order to set at
'ast TIE fears of few Who might be
worried he states officially that these
minors are without any basis Of fact;
in brief they are plain lies put out to
Under the Fourth Liberty Loan.
II Germany Should Win.
There is only one thing that viii en-
danger the bank deposits of America
There is only one way in which they
might be confiscated That one thing
is a German victory. If the Huns
could defeat us and the French, Brit
ish and Italians in Europe and invade
this country, then there is but little
doubt that savings accounts, stocks.
bonds, iewelry, gold, real estate and
everything in the way of property
would be confiscated
The one thing that will take away
ownership in private property in this
country is to let the Germans win the
war, either by actual rec of arms or
through the failure of Americans to
support the war as they should by buy
ing Liberty Bonds or paying taxes.
1t is foolish to fear that our own
Government is going to damage the
people Of this couutry-its own people.
With the American armies fighting as
well as they are now on the soil of
France, and the American people from
coast to coast supporting the army as
they now are and have been through
our first years of the war, the Ameri-
can savings accounts, money, bonds,
farms and f.ctories are safe.
Hun Propaganda.
Federal officials point out that it is
Germany and it's looting hordes that
the American savings bank depostor
has to fear and not our own armies
that are fighting to protect American
soil, American property and American
lives. In the statement received here
from the U. s. Treasury Department
this statement is made:
"The United States instead of con-
fiscating or endangering the savings
and other property Of its people is de-
Tending them and theirs with all the
might of this invincible Re-
public"
1t has not been possible to trace the
rumor relating to the confiscation of
savings accounts to its source, but
from the fact that /, appeared in wide
ly separated parts of the country at
about the same time it is evident that
some pro-German agency had busted it.

hope that it might hurt the success of

New Order Effects
Pershing and Soldiers

Washington, March 29.-Official in
formation has reached Washington
that General Foch, the French chief
Of staff, has been appointed to su-
,preme command Of all the allied and
American forces in France.
A message tonight from General
Pershing, made public by Major Gen.
eral March, acting chief Of staff, fol-
lows:
"Have made all our resources avail
able and our divisions will be used if
and when needed. French are in fine
spirits and both armies seem conf
dent"
Word From Pershing
The first hint of the historic devel-
opment came in press cable dispatch
es telling how General Pershing had
placed the American expeditionary
forces at the disposal of the French
commander. This was confirmed to-
night in a message from General
Pershing to the war department.
president had been officially advised
of the action when he sent a cable
gram to General Foch today congratu-
| lating him ION his new authority"
There was no explanation at the
White House of what the president
meant It is understood that there
will be no official comment here until
after an announcement comes from
, France.
No Doubt of Authority
! There was no mention in the PERISH
ing dispatch of the new authority CIV
en- General Foch and war department
officials were specializing over the
reasons for the absence of any Of
fetal communication. Some still were
inclined to believe that the French
general had been placed in command
only of the army of Maneuver," the
reserve force composed of contingents
from all the allied armies created aft
er the formation Of the supreme war
council.
Before General Pershing's message
came tonight General March was
without advice to confirm the press
dispatches, because of the inevitable
delays in transmission of official mes
sages. -.r ...
The news of the appointment OF
General Foch, one of the heroes of the
Marine, to supreme command, gave
rise instantly to suggestions that the
presence Of Secretary Baker in Europe
was connected with the development
Mr.. Baker first visited France and
conferred at length with French Of
ficials and with General Bliss, Ameri-
can chief of staff, attached to the SUI
preme war council, and General
Pershing. There followed a brief trip
to London just as the great German
drive was starting, after which the
American war secretary FASTENED back
to France.

sure on shipyards to increase their
output. ~..-
A few American ships, previously
in the merchant marine, are being fit
ted at ports to accommodate troops
and a survey of the Dutch requisition-
ed ships indicate that few of them
will be available for troops. The adj
ditional manpower gained from these
two sources, however, will be extreme
ly small, army and navy authorities
said today.
The maximum troop carrying ca
pacity has been developed with ships
at Americas disposal, it was stated,
and the only answer now to any con-
siderable increase Of men is more
ships. The merchant marine is taxed
to capacity in carrying food and sup
plies.
The reftting of the few cargo ships
as troopships was started before the
west front offensive began.
More Action Urged
President Wilson is understood to
have impressed upon officials of the
shipping board the need for develop
ing more action. This need was
brought home to Hurley some weeks
ago by General Peyton March at the
time when the war and navy depart
ment were accomplishing space eco
Monies and developing extra speed
from available ships.
Government officials suggest that
the labor problem is now the main
factor. Labor, they say, ought to be
stimulated to added efforts and ques-
tions of pay should be adjusted with
