sHoRTAeE oF WAR WORKERS.

It is perfectly evident that if this to and all that it should in the pros ecution of the var, t is of the ut most importance that there should be sufficient labor to operate the. indus. tries which are turning out the goods which are depended upon by the sol diers and sailors for the carrying on of the fighting.
 Let there be any let up in the pro- duction of the necessary supplies and it Is bound to be felt at the front, and yet that is apparently what is threatened at the present time when it is declared that there is now q shortage of a million unskilled laborers in war work and the reserve of skilled labor is exhausted. The situation is such that one large steel plant has been forced to shut down part of it's work for lack of labor. and in an- other state where a large new govern mant plant is being erected 5000 labor CTS must be provided at once or it will be necessary to stop the construc- tion ard move the plant elsewhere.
 Right here in Connecticut the es- sential industries are unable to obtain sufficient workmen. This means that the time is coming when those wh0 9re go greatly needed in the produc- ,ion of war supplies must be drawn from the non essential industries. The | lighting forces must be properly back | ed up. We would not think of requir- ing them to fight without sufficient | food and we cannot expect that theJ can do justice to themselves or to the | country if they are not kept supplied with the necessary war material, and T realization of the seriousness Of the l labor@ situation ought to result in ar | immediate improvements This is . 1 time when the unnecessary must giv5 way to the necessary

fought. Nowhere else in France did :he fight of the workers against ali lordly injustice ard oppression by the rich come 50 early. Nowhere else was the fight so hardy and so stubborn.
 From Picardy came Condorcet, the philosopher and writer, who studied with such interest the birth of the new republic in America, and who died in prison by his own hand in the days of the Reign of Terror.
 From Picardy came Calvin, the leader France gave to the Reforrna- ton.
 From Picardy came Camille Desmou- lins, whose passionate eioguenee on that famous July Sunday in 17Ss, when he harangued the crowds from a table in the Paiais Royal gardens, stirred the wrath which spilled the first blood of the French revolution and which two days later led to the storn1ing and capture of the Bastille. From Picardy came Peter the Her init, the strange, swarthy little man who led the Peasants Crusade. the first of the gallant expeditions which l ChTistendom sent to rescue the Holy | Sepulchre from the desecrating hand: l of the Turks.
 Barefoot and unkempt, with long, | tangled hair and beard, he rode on hi: mule from village to village, ap- l pealing tG the crowd in churches anC market places, and gathering in hi wake a horde of 30 060--a grotesqut rabble of peasant men, women ana children. beggars. cutthroats, ne'er-do wells and adventurers, who struggled across Europe as far as Asia Minor where the Turks cut what was left 0 them to pieces.

INCREASING THE ARMY.

The attention of the country at fhe present time is directed to the man power bill which is before con- Fress and the efforts which are being made 10 cucumber it with a lot of Amendments which are likely to prove d source of embarrassment to the gov ernment in raising the army to the size which it is believed by the mili- iAry authorities is necessary in order to bring the war to a conclu- sion by next summer. or a. the earliest possible moment.
 In changing the years so that men between the ages of 1S and f5 wi; be included under the draft regula tions an effort is being made to delar the time for calling those between IS and 20. This is because it is felt that such youths ought to he called last To this the government authorities are favorable but they arc anxious tha. no restraint should be forced by the bin which would deny the nation the Eervices of the very ones who are likely to prove of the greatest service
 Some of the hest fighting is being done today by the young men. That was tho case in the Civil War and those in touch with military training know that there is where the best fighting material is to be found now It is not proposed to put them int the front lines without training but should an emergency arise where they viii he required quickly the situation ousht not 10 be such that they would have to be called without such train. ing.

tO 6uQ ITOm orbtlSQ poTIS.
 In the past year lacking few weeks this country has turned out nearly two million tons of ships. It is daily speed ing up as is shown by the report for the week ending August 15 when ten ships of nearly 52.Ooo tons were launched and it is figured according to the rate of production at the pre- sent time and the steadily increasing output that there will be between five and six million tons launched this year, including shins which were un- der construction when the war began.
 We are beginning thus to feel the effects of the extensive preparations which were made when it was re- cognized that the need for ships and more ships must be met, Fortunately we have overcome some of the serious handicaps which were experienced at the start and now each month is re- sulting in a greater production than the one. previous. This. is as it should be and the continuation of this good work will rapidly replace the vessels which have been lost.

Regarding Christmas Packages.

In a letter from Division Head
quarters the following information
was received in regard to Christmas
parcels.
"Al the Red Cross members will
be delighted to know that definite
provision has at last been made for
! caring for soldiers who have nc
friends or relatives to whom Christ
mas Parcel Labels can be sent. An
army order issued overseas directs
ksuch soldiers to mail their Christmas
parcel labels to the American Red
Cross at Washington, D. c. AS
rapidly as these labels are received
at National Headquarters they vii
be sent to the Division officers ant
from there distributed among the
Chapters, giving each, as nearly a'
possible, its approximate share. II
would of course be fine If every
Chapter could receive the Christmas
Parcel Labels of the boys without
rela ives and friends who have gonf
into the service from its Chapter
jurisdiction. Owing to the short
time remaining, this is impossible
as National Headquarters must send
the first labels received to the West
ern Divisions. Under this arrange
ment, we shall be certain that Labels
received from Western boys without
friends or relatives will be taker
care cf by Eastern Divisions, even i
they arrive on the very last date o.
mailing"
1t must be observed that the name
of the sender must be placed ON al
Christmas parcels going overseas.
Saturday, and thereafter a!

THEY climb aboard their lOaded
truck at susldown, fifteen miles
4 behind the lines. They ruInble
through the winding streets, cut on the
white road that leads to Germany!
The man at the wheel used TO be a
broker in Philadelphia. Beside him sits
an accountant from Chicago. Anews-
paper man from the Pacific Coast is
the third. Now they all wear the uni
form of one of these organizations.
The road sweeps round a village and
on a tree is nailed sign: Attention!
I'Enneri Vous Volt! The Enemy
Sees You'
They glance far up ahead and there
suspended in the evening light, they see
q Hun balloon.
Say, we can see him plain tonight"
murmurs the accountant from Chicago.
And don't forget replies the Fhila-
t~'-lls;a broker, that he can see US just
6 plain
The packing cases creak and groan,
TIE truck PODS ol1-stralght toward that
hanging menace.
T.ley reach another village-where
teaDs Of stone stand under Crurnpled
wills,
Then IND they go, through the strange
silence broken otlly when great pro-
iactile inscrioes its arc of sound far
overhead.
They reach a turn. They take it.
They face a heavy incline. For half
a mile it stretches and they know the
Germans have the range Of every inch
oft. The mountain over there is where
the big Boches' guns are fired. This
Incline is their target.
The three men on the truck bring up
then gas masks to the alert, settle their
stAo helmets closer on their heads.
At first the camion holds its speed.
Then it slackens off. The driver grabs
his gear-sllift, kicks out his clutch. The
enrire heaves- and heaves-and stallsl
"Quickl Spin itl' calls the driver.
The California journalist has jumped.

And then the engine comes to life.

When the Engine Stalls on
Dead Mans Curve!

"Wh-r-r-oom!" That one was close
behind. The fragments of the shell are
rafting on the truck.
Now shells are falling, further back
along the road. And the driver feels
the summit as his wheels begin to pick
up speed.
Straight down a village street in
which the buildings are only skeletons
of buildings. He wheels into the court
yard of great shell-tom chateau
well, you made it again Iseel" says
a smiling face under a tin hat-a face
that used to look out over congrega-
ton in Rochester.
"Yep!" says the driver glancing at
his watch. And we came up Dead
Mans Curve in less than three minutes
including one stall!'

Later that night two American boys,
fresh from the trenches bordering that
shattered town, stumble up the stairs
of the chateau, into sandbagged room
where the Rochester minister has his
canteen.
Get any supplies tonight they ask.
"You betI didl' is the answer, What
will YOU have?"
whats those? Canned peaches?
Gimme some. Package Of American
cigarettes s--let's an cake of
chocolate-an' some of them cookies!"
"Goshl" says the other youngster
when his wants are filled. What would
we do without you?"
You hear that up and down the front,
dozen times night-"What would
we do without them2"
Men and women in these organiza-
tons are risking their lives tonight to
carry up supplies to the soldiers. Trucks
and camionettes are creeping up as close
as any transportation is permitted.
From there these people are carrying
up TO the gun-nests, through woods,
across open fields, into the trenches.
The boys are being served wherever
they go. Things to eat, things to read.
things to smoke, are being carried up
everywhere along the line.
With new troops pouring into France,
new supplies must be sent, more men
and women by the hundreds must be
enlisted. They are ready to give every
thing. VIII you give your dollars to
help them help our men?
