appeal for the enrolment of 25O.-

The shipping board now has ZIG
ship ways, said Mr.. Piez. Three

ships and Ala are for steel construc-
ton. The yards in which they are
established are only working one
eight-hour shift per day, six days

and soon thereafter more than Co.
600 wOrkmen will be required to

our program calls for the con-
struction in 1918 of eight times the
tonnage delivered in 1916 at a cost
of more than a billion dollars. The
shipping board has the necessary
yards, the materials and the money
all that is lacking is a spirit in the
nation that will send a quota of Il
million mechanics into the yards %

BROTHERS, OF D. C,
CITED FOR BRAVERY

Archer and Henry Thomas, brothers
in France, whose home is at 231 First
street northwest. have been cited for
bravery under fire. while helping the
wounded. In the smoke OF battle,
big shells exploding everywhere, the
boys with utterly no regard for their
own safety. did their best to make II
easy and relieye the soldiers who
had been wounded in the stiff fight
which was in progress all about them.
Archer was in a hospital directly
behind the lines, and while airmen
were circlinE overhead, the Berthas
sheIiing every inch of the ground, he
stuck to his post and helped those
who were unable to help themselves.
Henry Thomas is a stretcher bearer,
and had his stretcker shot from his
very hands, while carrying it to the
trenches to bring back a wounded
comrade. Again. going to the front.
he was half buried, but dug himself
out with his hands, taking half an
hour to do it, while the battle was
going on with all it's noise, he said, in
a letter to his father, William
Thomas.
The boys attended the District
schools and are we'll known in the
neighborhood of the Capitol, where
they lived for many years. They
we're praised by their commanders
for their work and awarded crosses
fer bravery.
