Big Demand for Clothing.

'The central powers and the allies
are going to require enormous amounts
of clothing, food and manufactured
goods. things they have been without
since the beginning Of the war. Pies
ent conditions show the remarkable
wisdom of price fixing through agree
ment with industries as carried on by

Suppose, for instance, there had
been no price fixed for steel. The price,

gone to $50 a ton and an indescrib-

Chairman Hurley of Shipping
Board F0reSeeS Era of In
dustriaI Prosperity.
UPBUILDING AFTER WAR

Two million Jobs will soon be look
ing eagerly for two million men.
This sums up the answer for the
authorities at the War Industries
Board. the United States Shipping
Board and the Department Of Labor
to the question What are you going
to do with the two million Americans
to be released from the European bat
tie fronts?"
Chairman Hurley Of the United
States Shipping Board said he was
looking for the greatest era of real
ever known and the United States
would do colossal things in peace as
she has done mammoth things in war.
Merchant Marine Needs.
I'VE need Immediately for the new
merchant marine 100000 men," said
Mr. Hurley, land the shipyards
throughout the country could absorb
100. 900 more. The jobs will look more
anxiously for men than the men will
look for the jobs Persons who think
that Industrial depression will follow
because of the release of 100000 men
for peace activity have misread the
needs"

Serbia, northern Italy and other coun-
tries devastated by the Hun will re-
Guire the services Of hundreds of thou
sands of men and women and make
such demands for material as will tax

States. it was said at the War Indus
tries Board.
Many Manufactures Behind.
The nation is at least half year
behind IN the manufacture of COM
modities considered necessary, or at
least extremely desirable in times of
services of scores of thousands of
men and women. Indeed, the only
fear is that the men will not be returned
from the front in sufficient numbers
or with sufficient speed to take quick
and effective part in the reconstruc-
tion program.
1t is understood to be the purpose
OF the shipping board, supported by
the Department of Labor and other
agencies of the government to return
the men with the utmost speed.
The demands of industry impera-
lively required this. Scores OF thou
sands of farm workers are urgently
needed. The proposed building pro-
gram in Washington alone will call
for the services of at least 10000 men.

Courage.
Here is the first story by an Ameri-
can officer which tells the true tale of
action "over there Captain Carroll
Swans regiment (the l0lst of the
Yankee Division) was made up mostly
Of New England men, and their real
names, beside their nick-names, are
used throughout the book So intim-
ate is the character depletion Of the
boys, that any friend or relative could
not fail to recognize them. A letter
from boy overseas is always more
satisfactory than YEARBOOK, no mat
ter how great that YEARBOOK is. The
personal message is the one that
reaches our hearts in every case. Cap
tain Swans book is not so much a
book as an intimate message collec-
lively from our friends and relatives
of New England who joined this com
pany and went overseas to fight. 1t
is vivid revelation of what our boys
have done in the battle for freedom,
and the spirit it articulates is repre-
sentative of the typical young Ameri-
can. Events under fire are SO relis-
tically told that you close the book
with the feeling that at last you have
been privileged to see what action "at
the front" really was.
Through all the horrors that Cap
tain Swans company had to go,
virile, American optimism was the
prevailing spirit. Prophetic of what
has miraculously happened in the
world of war is the unconquerable
faith which pervades this book! His |
men said at the outset Of their adven-
ture, 1--WE d Company are not a bit
stuck up but we do admit that we
have the best company, in the best
regiment, in the best division, in the
best nation in the world"
In comment upon this attitude of his
men, Captain Swan says, "That feel
ing of being the best in everything
lasted right through our whole cam
paign. It's the feeling of every true
American soldier in the service-a
feeling of pride in ones own outfit
that makes for better morale and bet
ter discipline, and for success. If
soldier thinks his own organization is
not the best in the service, his place
t not there; it's in the outfit he thinks
s better"

France as soldier; and, among the
men he commanded at the front, he
