MODELLING LABOR.

TIERE IS much work to be done and such scarcity
OF labor in many section, that the governments action
in moving to mobilize an army OF three million workmen
is as essential as taking over the railroads. Men
needed for shpbuIdng and ships OF the strong
hopes and imperative necessities Of America and the allies
Farmers need help and that demand will increase from
until harvest later and in many OF the industries which
come under the head OF war work men are needed
So the federal employment bureau has large and difficult
task ahead and will need the cooperation OF state and
city employment agencies and OF employers and employees
themselves the task is TO be accomplished satisfactorily
Employers mustscck or efficiency by paying proper wages
and providing proper working conditions and employees
must show willingness serve where needed and TO
strive for maximum production in their work Only by
that form Of employment generally desired II there
is team work the present plan meet the needs and play
abor's part in winning the war
But this federal mobilization Of labor may we'll 90 fur
her than the cxgcucie OF this conflict By expanding the
federal employment bureau organization is being built
up which may well correct similar difficulties in time Of
peace II has been no unusual condition for one region 10
be maintaining soup kitchens aud bread lines for the un-
employed while another section sought in vain for horny
handed toicr to do the work in hand Proper distribution
OF labor has long been difficult problem and this new
bureau should supply means of yacating many park
benches and give who want opportunity to earn
an homes, livelihood This is likely to be only one Of
number Of which shall useful purpose
still when peace shall come again to bless the land.

FRENCH MENACTNG
GRIP ON KENNEL

PARIS, May 21.-The magnificent
success Of the French in the Locre
sector Of the Flanders battle front
is menacing the grip OF the Germans
on the all-important KENNEL Hill,
six miles southwest OF Ypres.
French troops gained highly i'm
portAnt ground in the high country
over a front OF 1000 yards, creeping
nearer to the height of KENNEL it,
self which the Germans captured at
such enormous cost OF human life.
To use the expression made famous
by Marshal Joffre, the Anglo-British
forces on the battle fronts are nib
bling" at the German lines in a series
OF highly successful minor operations.
But while these enterprises are called
local in comparison with the mighty
battles that have been raging on the
Picardy and Flanders battlefields.
earlier in the war they would have
been called big engagements.

MONROE DOCTRINE
CONTINUES POLICY
OF UNITED STATES

The Monroe doctrine will continue
to stand as the policy or the United
States in the Western Hemisphere.
This Is the Interpretation in Pan
American diplomatic circles Of secre-
tary Lansing's address in opening the
observation-disclosures mediation con-
ference at the Pan-American Union
yesterday.
Secretary lansing spoke OF the
wishes OF the United States to assist
in the work at hand and he empha-
sized the fact that the conference Is
in line with "the great desire OF the
United States to see the republics OF
this hemisphere drawn into a closer
union, a union founded upon impair
tial justice and a sympathetic respect
for the rights OF others"
THE assembling OF commissioners
from two sister republics for the pur-
pose OF endeavoring to reach an amic-
able settlement OF a controversy
which has vexed their relations in the
past Is always a subject for cOngrat-
ulation, and particularly so at a time
when the whole world Is seething
with war and when force rather than
reason dominates human affairs" said
the Secretary. 1T Is a conspicuous
example OF the spirit OF fellowship
and amity which prevails in the
Americas and which is fundamental
to Pan-Americanism."
1t Is the diplomatic view that Ger
man propaganda in South America has
failed. The peace commissioners from
the two Central American republics
are open in their denunciation OF the
early German operations against the
United States and they declare that the
situation has been met in Central
America and northern South America.
Wide opinion is held to the effect that
the open stand OF the Germans
against the Monroe doctrine has been
leading factor in putting down the
insidious work.
Reports reaching the Pan-Ameri-
can Union and the various Latin
American legations indicate that a
number OF the South American repub-
lies will observe the Fourth OF July
this year as a tribute to the United
States. a Euenos Aires weekly maga-
zine with q circulation all over the
continent is planning a United States
OF America" number on this date ain
honor OF the commemoration Of the
glorious date Of its independence"
The publication will contain articles.
photographs. and drawings concern
ing the twenty largest cities OF this
country. with such references to their
commerce and industries as viii re-
veal their Importance.
The mediation conference probably
will continue in session for several
weeks. The United States is acting
as mediator The boundary dispute
involved dates back a century to the
days Of Spanish occupation.
