Three Per Cent of Men Gainfully
EMPLOYED Now in Service.

In a bulletin on the employment
of ONE in the storage and ware
houseing depots Of the United States
Army is the following:
"The census of 1910 reported that
of every 100 men and boys 10 years
of age and over, only 10 were not
gainfully employed. This group OF
10 included old men not able to work,
children too young to work, the sick
and handicapped, and men in schools
and colleges.
Assuming that 100000 of the
number called by the selective-service
law have had some form of gainful
employment, we may estimate that |
out Of every 60 men in the industries
and professions Of the country has
been called into military service,
while another in every 60 has volun-
tarily joined the forces of the Army
or Navy. Thus, about 3 per cent OF
the gainfully employed men have
been taken out Of their occupations"

Manufacture Of Shoes in Italy Stan
dardized by Government.

The largest shoe factories in Italy
have started manufacturing the ma
tional standard shoes, using leather
supplied by the ministry of industry,
commerce, and labor. The standard
types were established by the central
shoe committee in Rome, but every
factory is making little notifications,
according to it's means and system of
manufacturing.
The Government is organizing sys-
TENS of sale of shoes to the public.
They provide for the opening OF
stores in the principal Italian cities,
to be engaged exclusively in the sale
of national shoes and to be controlled
by the Government authorities. 1t is
likely that buyers will have to obtain
cards.
The private shoe stores will be sup
piled with an adequate number OF
shoes and will be granted a reason

in the tangible shape Of books and
comfortable libraries are being felt
by the soldiers and sailors. The Car

steps on a trasport will carry a book

" With the American Army in

forces northwest OF Chateau Thierry
this morning further straightened
their line by a series of small but
brilliantly executed attacks on the
north side OF Belleau wood. j
Americans at midnight last night
poured an avalanche of projectiles
into the wood to2thc east Of Chateau
Thierry, where aerial photographs
had shown there was a host OF Ger

The enemy undoubtedly was, severely
punished. VIZ. :. :
The American Ere reached the high

period when 1900 shells OF all cali

the American gunners concentrated
their FIRE on the town OF Brasles,
where many OF the enemy were as
senibled and which was the scene OF
recent captures OF prisoners by our
patrols. Aerial observations today
show the extreme accuracy OF our
fire, but of course the exact effect is
