SEA APPEALS TO YOUTH.
Connecticut Quick to Furnish Men
For Merchant Marine

Boston, May .9.--Even persons not
especially interested in the United
States Shipping Board program have
for some time past noticed the I'M
usually high number of men enrolling,
in the new American Merchant Ma
rlne from Connecticut. Massachusetts
Is the only other New England State
to surpaSs the record to date of Con-
necticut in this respect and with the
headquarters of the Merchant Ma
rine recruiting service located in the
Custom House here, that is not be
wondered at.
For the last two days there has
been a total of 50 fine young, robust
each day at the headquarters here.
OF that total Massachusetts contrib
uted 20 men and Connecticut IL.
while New York State sent only
eight. Maine, Rhode Island, New
Hampshire, and New Jersey sent but
one man each.
or the Il men accepted from Con-
nectcut, two were from New Haven.
two from West Haven, two from New
Norwich Meridcn' Waterville and
Rockville. New Haven and New
Britain have been sending excellent
young men along with great regular
itv for this service, which Uncle Sam
considers so important that the Gov
ernmcnt has exempted all enrolled in
the Merchant Marine from military
duty.

Copenhagen, May 9.-n letters to
the Neue Freie Presse, the Burgomas-
ters of Bohemia describe the food sit
uation as desperate. For several
weeks Innsbruck and other cities have
been reduced and it is often impos-
made of maize, and meat rations have
been reduced. an dit is often impos-
sible to get even these small rations.
From the letters it would appear
that from January until April most OF
the cities. in Bohemia had no potatoes
and for weeks hospitals have been
without eggs and milk The Czech
peasant population has sufficient food
but refuses to deliver any of it to the
Germans.
The letters say that it is impossible
TO persuade Hungary to change her
unfriendIy attitude on the food policy.

Government Employment Office

The Office of the United States EN-
ployment Service in st. Johnsbury was
One of the last to be started in the
state and it is designed to take care of
the Slabor situation in the counties of
Caledonia, Essex and Orleans. The
office is in charge ofcArthur F, Stone as
local examiner with Mrs. Marion F.
Adams as junior examiner. 1t is con-
veniently located on the ground floor
of the Pythian building and is open daily
from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m.
The primary purpose Of this new
branch of Government work is to con-
meet the man with the job. With the
United States behind the movement
this can be done more effectively than
by private employment agencies and
there is no expense connected with the
service. At the present time there is a
| demand for labor far exceeding the sup
ply and this condition will undoubtedly
continue, not only throughout the war.
| but for a considerable time after peace
is restored, Individuals and firms
desiring labor of any sort are urged to
communicate with the St. Johnsbury off ce
| giving in detail their immediate needs
and the approximate wages they will
pay for the labor. So far as possible,
the office will endeavor to supply their
needs, but this can de done only as
applicants register with the office
, Any men or women in these counties
now out of employment are urged to
communicate with the St, Johnsbury
office where their applications will re-
ceive prompt attention. While there is a
| great demand for labor in the southern
and western parts of the state where con-
Germs are engaged in strictly war work,
it is the intention of the st. Johnsbury
Office to keep employed as far as possible
in the three counties in its jurisdiction. 1t
may be news to some that there are
several concerns in these counties now
dong 100 percent war work while the
biggest factory is largely engaged in
making scales under Government con-
tracts. Just now there is a pressing call
for lumbermen in Essex county where
extensive operations have already been
commenced The St. Johnsbury office
would be glad to receive communications
from anyone desiring either male or
female workmen, and any correspondence
will received immediate attention.
