SPECIALIZED CLERKS URGENTLY
NEEDED.

Expert clerical work has a more inn
portant place in the governments war
organization than most people realize.
We all know that the war can not be
won in the trenches alone; that an eff
fective establishment at home is vital
to the success of the biggest job ever
undertaken by any nation; but the
full extent to which the specialized
clerk is needed is perhaps not gener-
ally understood. And it is in this
class of work that women have the
best opportunity to be of real service
to the government at this time.
In the national capital alone the
civilian force increased from 10000
To nearly $4,000 during the first year
st our participation in the war. Nine
tenths of the new employees are clerks
of one kind or another, and fully three
fourths of them are women. Eighteen
thousand stenOgraphers and typists
are at work constantly in the govern
ment offices at Washington on the
tons of correspondence and records
made necessary by war preparations on
a scale such. as the world has never
before known.
General clerks. that is, those with
out speciality, are not difficult to OBJ
tain even under present conditions
but the United States civil service
commission, charged with the duty
of recruiting the civil service to meet
war needs, is experiencing difficulty
in obtaining a sufficient number OF
applications for many clerical posi-
tions which require special training
or experience. There is an urgent
call for applicants for the positions Of
stenographer. typewriter, bookkeeper'
typewriter, clerk-bookkeeper, cost ac
countant, accounting and statistica
clerk, statistician, clerk qualified il
accounting. clerk qualified in business
administration. index and catalogue
clerk, schedule clerk, passenger-rat'
clerk, blueprint file clerk and assis
tant to business manager. All o
these positions are open to both meT
and women. Representatives of th'
civil service commission at the pos
offices in all cities are prepared Il
furnish definite information and ap
plication blanks.

.COAL FIRE UNDERMINES VAST
AREA.

Probably the greatest fire in the
world is burning in southeastern Ohio,
says H. A. Mount in the July Popular
Mechanics magazine. 1t has been
burning for more than 80 years and
has been fed by more than 100000
tons of the finest soft coal in the Unit
ed States. The fire has spread over
about IS square miles of territory, and
has actually consumed about l,5OO
acres of a coal vein that in places is
rs feet in thickness, averaging S1s
feet. So far the fire has defied every
effort to extinguish ii and promises to
be still burning a hundred years
hence. The coal vein that is burning
is said by mining experts to be the
finest vein in the Hooking Valley dis
trict, and perhaps the finest soft coal
vein in the United States. 1t has been
found impossible to smother the fire,
either by inclosing it or by using
chemicals. In one of the early at
tempts to extinguish the fire, water
was pumped on it continuously for
three years without visible effect. The
fire was started simultaneously in
seven big mines in the vein during the
strike disturbances which occurred in
1884.

FACING SERIOUS FLOODS.
Hot Weather MeIts Snow Causing
High Water; Irrigation Systems
Threatened.

A dispatch from Blackfoot says ex-
cessive hot weather has melted the
SHOWS in the mountains of the upper
Snake so rapidly that the reclamation
service has had to turn water out of
Jackson lake reservoir to prevent the
dam from going out. The heavy in
crease in water due to melting snow
has created a serious condition for all
irrigating systems in this district.
The rapid rise of the water threat
ems the headgate of the American
Falls Canal company which irrigates
about $4,000 acres; the Peoples Ca
nal irrigating 10000 acres, the Wat
son Slough irrigating $4,000 acres, and
several other systems. The headgate
of the Lava Side Canal company is
now under water.
The urgency of the situation has
called men from all occupations to the
protection of the canals. Business
men, clerks and farmers have been
working day and night and at the
present time it is thought the situation
is we'll under control unless there is a
further rise of water.
The river rose Saturday night one
tenth of a foot.
The point of greatest peril is the
head gate of the Peoples canal where
the water is three inches from the top.
Every possible measure is being taken
to protect the situation. If unsuccess-
full the crops of the entire district will
be imperiled. Many farms along the
river are under water but the proper
tion is small as related to the entire
district. :
The American Falls headgate will
stand foot rise with safety; Peoples
headgate will stand three inches. The
Porterville bridge has been con-
demned and one pier of the Riverside
bridge has sunk nine inches.

OFFENSIVE ONLY WAY TO WIN.
General FOch, Allied COmmander-in-
Chief, Discusses Modern Warfare I;
Decisive Attack Is Keystone to Vie
tory.

That battles can be won in the end
by the army which takes the offensive
is the significant declaration made by
General Foch, commander in chief of
the allies. in an important article con-
tributed by him to the weekly journal,
The Field, in which he discusses the
problem of the soldier and the way to
victory.
Modern warfare, to arrive at it's
end and to impose its will on the en-
emy," says General Foch, recognizes
only one means-destruction of the
enemy's organized forces.
War undertakes and prepares this
destruction by battle which brings
about overthrow of the adversary, dis
organizes his command, destroys his
discipline and nullifies his units as
far as their lighting power is con-
cerned.
Our first axiom must be that COM
pletely to achieve its object, a battle
must not be purely defensive. A pure
ly defensive battle, even we'll con-
Quoted. does not result in a victor and
vanquished. 1t is simply a game that
must be begun over again.
From this it is an obvious corollary
that an offensive, whether started at
the beginning of an action or whether
it follows the defensive, can only give
results and in consequence might al
ways be adopted at the finish.
ITO maintain our position is not
synonymous with being victorious and
even prepares for a defeat If we re-
main where we are and do not pass
to the offensive to fix the direction o.
attack, to guard against the plans Of
the enemy and prevent him from car
rying out the same maneuver, we must
undertake to carry on and sustain
numerous combats, each with deter
mined aim.
But since there remains no doub
that decisive attack is the very key
stone of a battle all other actions
which make up a battle must be en-
visaged, considered, organized, pro
vided with forces in the measure il
which they will prepare, facili
tate and guarantee development of {
decisive attack characterized by its
mass, its surprise, its speed and fol
which, in consequence, ii is essentia
that there shall be the maximum re
serve force possible of troops of ma
neuver. The reserve-that is to say
the prepared bludgeOn-is organized
the bludgeon may be strong enough
and kept carefully instructed to exc
cute the single act of battle from
which results are expected namely, the
decisive attack.
Reserves must be husbanded witt
the most extreme parsimOny so tina
to make the blow as violent as posi-
BILE All our forces really participate
either by preparing it or by carrying
ii out.
In this, our supreme aim, we mus
not be deceived by appearances. Al
through theory fails when applied b,
feeble hands and when accessories OBJ
scure the main principle, history ant
treason show us that in battle there il
a single argument which is wort
while, namely, decisive attack. whicl
is alone capable of assuring the de
sired result-the overthrow of the ad
