fare of the boys" in the trenches is
growing faster than the men can be sup
piled, due TO the acceleration in the
movement of troops, Mr. Box said
The message reads:
Imperative that we meet more than
our full need for men Immediately.
Never have we been so understaffed as
at present. Nine;N-SiX important posi-
tiOns with American forces open. Forty
seven positions near front line and thirty
eight directly under fire, we have only
one man. fearfullY overworked. where
three should be. II is positively Grim
inal to have this condition. We need
36l men at once for April in addition to
steady monthly quota, We need 81 phys.
ical directors within the next few weeks
All this in addition to men for French
and Italian armies, where need is like
wise great. England is also asking for
additional men, owing to steady inpour-
ing of American troops. Please do your
utmost TO secure quickly large number
of high-Grade men from Philadelphia
Mr.. Box has organized personnel
board, consisting of Horatio Gates
Lloyd. of DreXel & Co \. A. Jackson
vice president Of the Girard Trust Com
pany; Walter A. Hulme. of the Penn
sylvania Railroad: John II. Mason, pres
idenc of the Commercial Trust Com
pany: ex-senator Francis S. Mcllhenny
and Walter L. Wood. secretary Of the
Y. NJ. c. A. This board considers all
applicants personally and its recon-
mendations are accepted as final by the
war work council in New York Re.
Gently Philadelphia's first complement
of men sailed for France. Another group
will leave in a few days and more than
forty applications are still before the per-
sonnel board awaiting action.
The response to my appeal has been
very satisfactory" said Mr.. Box, but
the need for men is growing so fast
owing to the recent acceleration in
the movement of our troops and the
present drive on the western front that
we are not beginning to meet the re-
ouirements from Philadelphia.
