Wisconsin behind the q. S. Shipping
Boards efforts to enroll men for crews
of the new merchant ships on which
the execution of the country'S war pro-
gram now depends.
The governor has received the fol-
lowing telegram from the q. S. Ship
ping Board:
Men are urgently needed in our
Merchant Marine. An announcement
by your excellency that the o. S. Ship

ing $4,000 between the ages Of twen-
ty-one and thirty to train as seamen,
firemen, oilers, water tenders, cooks
and walters, will aid materially in the
present work of this service in select
ing superior material for filling the

TONS seagoing life and wish to make
clear that we accept men without sea-

urgency of the situation are exempted
by special regulation from military
duty. Applicants for training may ap-

State House, Madison, Wis.

State House, Madison, Wis.
Wisconsin, for the first time
in her history, has been invited
by the national government to
supply men for service in the
Merchant Marine. Many citi-
zens of the state already are en-
ployed in the commerce of our
inland seas, bearing a heavy part
of the country'S war burden, but
others are ready to help in the
greater ventures of the ocean
that lies between us and our
troops in France.
The plan of the U. S. Shipping
Board to open a large number of
neighborhood recruiting stations
in this state, where young men
between twenty-One and thirty
may enroll for service in the
merchant marine, is commend
able, as it brings one of the
country's greatest needs Of the
hour very close to the people.
Without thousands of young men
to go into the crews of the mer-
chant ships now being rushed to
completion, we cannot carry out
our program for supplying our
army and our allies with the
sinews Of war.
Registrars not yet called to
service may exercise their choice
of entering the Merchant Ma
rine. During the period that reg
istrants who make the choice
remain in the service Of the u. S.
Shipping Board they will not be
liable to military duty under the.
selective service law.
Every citizen Of Wisconsin
free to go into this branch Of
the government service may do
so with the assurance that he is
choosing a place Of the first i'm
portance and the highest honor
in the war work of his country.
Official recruiting stations are
being established in drug stores
in the larger cities and towns in
the state. Anyone wishing infor-
nation regarding this service or
who desires to enlist can obtain
particulars at such stations.

GOVERNOR In FAVOR
OF NEGRO PARADES

ATLANTA, Ca, April 17.-Governor
Hugh M. Dorsey has addressed let.
ter to the county chairmen of the
Council of National Defense, drawing
attention to the parade of colored peo-
pie which is to be held in Atlanta on
the afternoon of Thursday, April 49,,
ard the possibility of similar parades
being arranged in other cities and
towns in the state. Governor Dorsey
urges the utmost possible co-opera-
ton of the white people in order that
these parades may be carried to a
large measure of success, and urges
the employers of labor to allow their
colored workers half holiday on the
dates of the parades that they may
participate.
The parade in Atlanta has been ar
ranged largely through the indefatiga-
BILE efforts of M. w. Reddick, one of
the states most respected negro
preachers, and assistant state director
of the negro department. of the Ma
tional War Savings Committee for
Georgia.
The parade, which is intended to
promote the far savings stamps cam
paign among the colored people and
also the purchase of Liberty Bonds
by the negro, together with all other
branches of work, will include in it's
ranks practically every negro or
ganization in the city. The negro
public schools will take prominent
part, and all of the colored business
houses, churches and fraternal orders
are heartily joining in the prepara-
ton.
The line of march will be through
the main business section of the city
and will start from the corner of Jack
son street and Auburn avenue.
In addition to the Endorsement given
the parade by Governor Dorsey, Mayor
Gambler has issued call to the em-
ployers of the city asking that every
colored worker be allowed opportunity
to march
Edgar Watkins, chairman of the Full
ton County Council of Defense, has is
sued a statement in which he, on be
half of the organization he heads,
joins the governor and mayor in pub
licly approving the parade and urging
all white people to encourage the ne
groes in their undertaking. He states
that it is to be desired that everyone
will assist the colored citizens in
showing that the country is land of
united people, regardless of race CT
color.

proclamation the adoption of the
amendment in the best interest of
the State and Nation.
The epidemic is playing havoc with
the circulation Of this petition. Suf-
frage women have been particularly
identified with war work and are over
burdened in consequence. The lack
of help has placed a greater limit on
the time for solicitation. The call
ing off of meetings is an additional
handicap. The committee, therefore,
urges all women who wish their
names on this roll of honor "to make
Louisiana fit for Democracy" to
either telephone or write their names
to be added to the petition, to their
Parish Chairman or send to the State
Headquarters, 428 Camp street, New

dresses for the petition without fur
