WHITE PLAGUE KILLS :
MORE MEN THAN BULLETS

1t seems longer, but 1t was less than
four years ago that the nations had
not yet started in to wipe each other,
off the map and that the only times
when one heard Of the Red Cross were
times OF food or disaster and at
Christmas time, when the peaceful lit.
tie Red Cross tuberculosis seals made
their annual appearance.
Perhaps, in fact, it was the long, ar
dent fight In America against the White
Plague which. In spite OF the war's
enormous new demands. IL responsible;
for the especial interest being taken vi

frightful struggle against consumption,
This scourge seems to mark the
trench fighter for its own. It kills
more men than Do bullets and poison
gas combined. Until the American
Red Cross was permitted by the
French government to start its drive
against tuberculosis It looked as II,

France might eventually be conquered
By this deadlier foe.
Already things are looking brighter.
The Red Cross has taken over old hos
pitfalls and built new ones. More than
800 tuberculosis dispense ries are to be
opened throughout the country, and
Red Cross doctors and nurses-scores
Of them--are devoting themselves ex.
clusively to this fight, doing over there
exactly the same kind of work which

in which by our contributions to tho

WARNS RAILROAD MEN NEEDS MILLION men
NATION SHORT OF WORKERS
FOR MUNITIoN PLANTS.
cruiting of UnskiIled Labor
for War Work.

Washington, Aug. "a shortage Of
100000 unskilled workers in war In
dustries is shown In incomplete reports
to the department of labor's federal
employment service, which took over
the recruiting of this class of labor for
war industries employing a maximum
force of 100 or more persons. Final
pected to show shortage Of 100000
workers.
War industry was defined in the an
nouncement by the employment service
as "the manufacture of products or
erection Of structures directly or indi-
rectly supplied to some department
of the government for use in connec-
ton with the war;" Coal mining also.
was classified as wholly war work.
While they will be protected from
recruiting by other industries. rail-
roads and farms must obtain their I'M
skilled labor by other means than
through the federal employment serv-
ice, the announcement said.
Through the operation of the system
Of government recruiting, it is believed
unnecessary movement Of labor from
community to community and from In
dustry to industry will be obviated;
wasteful labor turnover be largely
eliminated and wages will be stabil-
lied
The employment service, of which
John B. Densmore has been named
director general, will work through
state boards, which in turn will con-
troll labor through community boards.
Machinery Of the service has been
modelled largely on the plan or organ
ization utilized in administering the
selective act.
AS now effective, government re-
cruiting will apply only to unskilled
labor. Regulations are being made
Whereby it will be possible to extend
the system to the recruiting Of skilled
labor. All private agencies for the re-
cruiting of labor are prohibited.
The understanding, cooperation and
good will Of the American people are
called on to aid in making the system
success by Secretary Wilson.
Control Of the nations telephone and
telegraph systems also is now in the
hands of the government.
All officers and employees of the
companies, Mr.. Burleson directed, will
continue in the performance of their
present duties on the same terms Of
employment.
