pie in this town find anything to have
a suggestion OF the German faint about
It they see red. And the recent dis
covery by operators Of ribbon looms
here that the machines on which they
work are known as German looms
has made them about as angry as 1t Is
possible to get.
One operator in examining his ma
chine discovered that on one OF the hid
den parts It bore the engraved words
German loom" The operators called
a meeting and adopted resolutions
against working on these looms any
more and have sent these resolutions TO
the manufacturers of the looms, to-
gether with further resolutions against
the manufacture Of more looms with
that name. They suggest that Yankee"
would be a better one.
1t Is understood the workers will
ask that the name on the looms now on
use be obliterated.

Army of Government Clerks Will Be
Swept Away Into the Battle Lines
Every Phase of Industry to Give It's Quota of Able Bodied
poyes Leaving Work to Be Carried BY Women Old Men
and Cripples-Even Shipyards to Make Contribution

Washington. August 8.--The appli-
cation of the work or fight rule in con-
nection with the new draft ages sub
mitted to congress is expected to strip
Washington of its great army of men
clerks between the ages of eighteen
to forty-five. Only old men, cripples
and women will be left at the desks
of all departments and branches OF
the government.
Man-power to be released under this
rule, which will apply to all industries
as well as to government departments,
is expected to go into the essential in
dustries and thereby release for actual
military service in the line the men
in the first draft age--twenty-o to
thirty -one-who have been given de-
ferred classification virtue of being
employed in essential work.
The one and whole object of all
laws and regulations relating to the
draft from this time on will be to get
men with guns in France. or ready 10
sail for the fighting front The men
for the army of 100000 abroad and
ZOO, 600 at home as reserves, will be
taken so far as possible from men
of the first draft, and it is expected
that thousands will be dismissed from
essential occupations to Join the colors,
and their places taken by older men.
All young officers. too. are ticketed
through 10 France, and will begin
their journeys within the next sixty
days. II Is expected that there will
be a clean sweep in every department
of the government, and every able
bodied young officer sent on active duty
TO France and the desk jobs that they
have occupied will be filled by older
officers, by older or disabled civilians
and by women,
Many bra<ches OF the service. with
largely non com blatant duties. have
had a rule in effect for months. that
no man OF the first draft age
would be commissioned in such SER
vice. and this rule is not only being
rigidly enforced, but candidates for
commissions also have TO enlist three
months ard go into a training camp
for that period before they can hope
TO receive commissions. This con-
forms with the general trend to have
all promotions from the ranks up, but
the men who wifi receive ,ffsse COM
missions are too ola. az a rule. for
regular enlistment. and therefore. are
permitted 10 enlist for three months
TO go to training camp.
The great crisis of the war that
the United States is facing today. is "A
possible labor shortage. In frequent
conferences that have been held in
Washington recently concerning ma
terials and supplies for the war, the
real discussion has always revoived
around the possibility of serious
labor shortage for all classes OF in
dustry and especially for the ship
yards. the railroads and the NUM-
ton plants.
So far the United States. as one
official described il today, has pushed
her war work on with blind force "a
