Employment Service Did Good Work.

It's existence of less than year as
a war organization, entrusted with
the gigantic task of furnishing the
nation 5 labor supply, affords some
measure of approaching magni-
tude of the effort this country made
in winning the war.
Ships, coal, food, munitions, all
were needed in vast quantity and
at once The manpower of the
nation had been depleted consider
ably through enlistment and the
draft, before the service actually
was organized All kinds of in
dustries were crying for help. Far
mers needed men to raise the great
crops that must feed America and
the allies, and factories needed men
to build the great guns that were
to blast the foe out of France.
Last spring, ships were perhaps
the most immediate need. There
were less than 100 900 shipbuiders
in the country, and four times that
number were needed at the start.
Carpenters, blacksmiths, and
other craftsmen who had eXperien-
ce along lines somewhat similar to
the building of ships were brought
into the work, and the ships were
finished. The task of training
these men for the highly specialize
ed jobs of shipyard work was not
small, but they were rounded up
by the employment service and the
training began.
Farm labor was the next really
big problem. The farm labor or
ganization of the employment ser
vice recruited an army from every
where and nowhere. 1t took old
men who in the ordinary course of
events would have taken no part in
the harvest but who to show their
patriotic devotion to the nation
gladly returned to the harvest feel
ds. 1t took boys of high school
age, and they gave the finest kind
of voluntary service. 1t took min
listers, lawyers, clerks, vacationists
of all kinds were glad of the chan
ce to get into the country, gain re-
creation, and make money, mean
while doing a highly effective work
in the solution of the war labor pro-
gram.
The harvest army moved stead
lily northward, once it was organ
lied early in the season, covered
throughly, Canada s wheat was
saved, and later the great army of
migratory workers moved back in
to the States to gather the corn
crop. The army was rot, of cour-
Sc, held intact all season; its make
up fluctuated widely from week TO
week and day to day. But the
ranks were always kept closed
and it made its way steadily on
ward to victory.
The munitions shortage was al
ways at hand. Army construction
Jobs always needed men. Skilled
and unskilled workmen alike were
in constant demand.
The employment service found
the men for the $4,000 jobs that
simply had to be done, in appre-
ciable time.
Coal was another serious need

Where the Ice is Bad.


All this, however, is true only of
the summer. In fact, south of Lake
Onega;:it isn't true at all, What OF
the winter, when solid ice should fur
n;sh road beds? In both cases the
railroad is vulnerable. But, as will
soon be seen, it is a vulner-ability
that need give US little cause to worry.
The Murmansk is sub-arctic only in
q geographical sense. The last
reaches of the Gulf Stream modify the
climate, and there is more snow than
ice. On the large lakes the gradually
accommodating weight of snow often
forces the ice beneath the water,
which cannot make for the best of
military thoroughfares. Even in the
marshes half the invading army would
be kept busy digging out the other
half. And finally, even if a German
army did get through, it could stay
only for the winter. From February
&c November its connection with its
base would be severed absolutely. Dur
ing the months Of ice-sledding it
might, of course, pile up supplies and
munitions enough to carry it through
the rest Of the year. But under the
strain and drain of modern fighting
that is unlikely. Henceforward, too,
the Prussian military imagination
will probably be les ssanguine than
it previously has been.
So much for the regions north of
Lake Onego. What CT the country to
the south of it? From Petrosovosk
on the lake, the line continues south
to Svanka, ia kilometers east, of
Pctrograd. Between junction and
capital all is one open plain, and the
Germans may now reach Petrograd
a. any time. Could they get across
tire Murmansk road from there?
The 1,000-Ton Barge to the Rescue.
They could not, for, again, extend
