ment of the employment of men of mill
tary age under Major Gen. Crowder s
"work or fight = order is estimated to
have resulted in about 100000 workers
being added to the war work of the
country, according to unofficial advices
which have come to, the provost marsh
al s office from local draft boards.
The belief is expressed that not fewer
than SOC, 000'm more will be added to this
group before the order goes into eff
feet July l.
The letters of the draft boards which
come from scores of cities and towns
in every state tell of empty pool halls
and lodging houses and deserted street
corners. Women are taking the places
of men as walters in restaurants and
elevator operators in hotels and restau-
rant buildings
Under the instructions sent to local
boards by Gen. Crowder, strict over
sight of the new employment of the
men who. are affected by the order will
be maintained by them and compreheh-
sive reports will be submitted to Wash
ington. The power conferred on local
boards to investigate any unemployed
man found within its jurisdiction is ex-
pected to end promiscuous wandering
and to stabilize labor conditions.
Every man or woman who has a
relative in the American forces on the
other side are virtually self constituted

WASHINGTON, June l3.-To meet
the needs of the American and allied
armies and the civilian populations of
France, Great Britain and Italy, the
American people are asked by the food
administration to place themselves on a
limited beef allowance from now until
Sept. Is.
Householders were requested not ssun-
der any circumstances" to buy more than
one and one-quarter pounds of clear
beef weekly, or one and one half pounds,
including the bone, for each person in the
household.
Hotels and restaurants were asked not
to serve boiled beef more than two meals
weekly, beefsteak more than one meal
weekly and roasts more than one meal
weekly.
The demand for beef for our army

populations for this summer" said the
food administrations announcement
ARE beyond our present surplus. On the
other hand we have enough increased
supply of pork this summer to permit
economical expansion in its use. It
therefore, will be direct service to our
armies and the allies if our people will
in some degree substitute fresh pork, ba
con, ham and sausages for beef products
The public will realize that the chang.
ing conditions of production from season
to season, the changing situation in ship
ping and therefore the markets available
to the allies, and the increasing demand
for our growing army, with the fiuctuat
ing supply of local beef in France, all
make it impossible to determine policies
for long period in advance. We have
recently asked for economy in all meat
consumption; we wish now to emphasize
further reduction of beef by the substi.
tuition of pork. 1t is anticipated that
this program will hold good until Sept
-, and the cooperation Of the public is
