While the Community Board of the
United States Employment Service has
complete man census for this city. SO far
as industrial establishments are CONCERN
ed, they have no means Of learning of
men working IN private families IN non
essential occupations, such as buffers,
chauffeurs, etc, except through such
information az is voluntarily given by the
public. 1t is duty everyone owes the
government at this time to work in some
essential occupation, and it is an act of
patriotism to furnish the Community
Board with the names of men employed
in every non-essential work. We can not
all fight, nor work in shipyards or NUM-
tion plants, but we can in many cases re-
place the able-bOdied men in non-es-
sential establishments, thus releasing men
who are greatly needed in the manufac-
ture Of munition and the building of ships
for the transportation Of supplies to our
boys in the trenches Anyone desiring To
furnish the information, may do SO by per-
sonally calling at the office of the United
States Employment Service at Sixth and

ALLIED PLANE FLEET
SILENCE HUN GUN
Huns Were Smelling French Town
When Fliers Entered
the Fight

Behind British Lines in France, Aug.
I0-A British American airplane squad
ron in certain section OF the front IN
Northern France won the everlasting
gratitude of the civilian population of
little market town In the mining district
this week by putting out OF action big
German gun which had started In to make
life miserable for the local inhabitants
The gun opened up very suddenly one
market day, al an hour when the streets
were at their busiest. Without warning,
about noon, there was the crash of
terrific explosion IN the central square,
which by the way was located more than
eight miles behind the front line. Other
explosions followed with deadly regularity
at intervals of ten minutes. The death
dealer was a high-velocity l5-inch gun of
the naval type II was using shrapnel
and casualties among troops and civilians
were numerous
The task of locating the gun was hand
ed over 10 the nearby Brltish-American
airplane squadron with certain directions
as to probabilities Within few hours
the task was duly acconll shed and
photographs were brought IN which show
ed the position plainly.
Unfortunately the job Of putting the big
gun out Of action was not SO simple. Its
position was too far back to he reached 10y
the ordinary countcr-battery guns aud
howitzers, and it happened that there
were no long.range guns in the area
capable of dealing with it To bring such
guns from another part of the lines would
mean considerable delay, and speed was
vital
1t was therefore decided that the big
gun must be bombed from airplane. And
we'll bomb ed it was, that very day, by the
same squadron which had located 1t.
Bombs V { ng all the way from 2opounds
to III pounds each descended upon and
around the emplacements. The salts
factory results were testified by the fact
that no more 15-inch shells have dis
turbed the market-piace.

All this has been changed however.
by the open fighting Of the present

weapon for infantry and while the gren-
