ARE YOU READY FOR WORK?

The call for for military service is increasing
and this that more men from our communities
will be called leave work and answer the
greater call.
Now, women, is the time to make ready to fill these
vacant places and keep the wheels of industry moving
in order that those who go front may not make
the sacrifice vain
The I. S. Employment Service reports show the
great need is for who have training in industrial
processes to fill manual positions industries and

LINER HIT; 2,800
 AMERICANS ESCAPE
Troop Transport Is Torpedoed by Submarine, but Reaches Land -U-Boat Probably
 Is Sunk.

Washington, Sept. 11.-News of the torpedoing of the British liner Persic, with 2,S0O American troops on board, in the war zone September 6, was given to the American people today, first through the British admiralty and later through the Navy Depart ment. All the soldiers were rescued by accompanying destroyers, the steamer was beached and the enemy submarine is believed to nave been sunk
 the attack more as an allied success than a} disaster The fact that the steamer was torpedoed while she was endeavoring to overtake the convoy fleet of transports after overcoming engine trouble, which had forced her to lag, convinced officers that the sub- marine commanders still are fearful of attacking troop ships in convoy. The immediate and complete suc- ce5sful assistance rendered by the aestroyars was taken as additional evil tence that the conveying system is practically perfect.
 News Is Suppressed. First word of the attack on the Persic reached the Navy Department on the nigh.t of September 9th in a bries dispatch from Vice Admiral Sims, although navy officials have Iemphatically denied in the meantime that any Important news of subma- rine activities was being withheld. It was said that the British admiralty expressed the request that they be permitted to announce the news of the attack.
