WILL EXPOSE MEN IN
 NON-ESSENTIAL WORK
Government Expects Public ity to Effect What Law
 Has Failed to Do.
Especial to The Herald)

Hartford, Sept. 23.--To force every man in the country into industry es- sential to the prosecution of the war. the government is soon to take dras- tic measures not only with men now engaged in non- essential work but also with their employers. This in- formation has been received from of ficial sources by the Connecticut State Council of Defense.
 Labor shortage of 100000 men In both skilled and unskilled war indus tries with an increased army coming, has compelled the government to take this action. Nathan A. Smyth assistant director general of the United States Employment Service, will shortly announce the most dras- tic instructions ever issued in this country to all community labor boards which will be required to pre- pare and publish in every city in the country lists of essential posi- tions now held by men that could be filled by women. The result will be that men failing or refusing to get out of such positions of their own accord and take up essential work will be looked upon as slackers. The order IS intended to force the hand Of both essential labor and en- ployers thereof.
 Lists probably will include clerks and office help, ticket sellers of all kinds, attendants and similar occupa- tions. This is in line, according to the advices from Washington, with the work or fight" order of Provost Marshal General Crowder, with in- structions already issued for the plac- ing of women in industry, with the order of the War Industries Boards stopping unnecessary construction, with the action limiting bank loans and with the taking of raw materials from essential industries.
 MT. Smyths order, it is understood, may ultimately become the most drastic of all, for community labor boards will insist that no man shall occupy d position which a woman can fill. The government emphati- cally decrees that this nation must work or fight and advices say that the forthcoming order is made neces- sary because employers of non-essen- tial labor have in many cases failed to meet the issue squarely.

POWer.
 Under drastic orders from the Unit ed States government, the state of Connecticut has been obliged to aban- don the pavement of West Main street beyond the Black Rock bridge. Early In the summer the state agreed to in stdl a permanent pavement in this street if the city would install concrete curbings and gutters.
 The city did it's part and last week the state highway commission began to do it's work, having let the contract For a day and a half the contractor had his gang of men there. working with a steam shovel excavati1g the road preparatory to the paving.

WHY NOT DRAFT
MESSENGERS NEEDED

After in every conceivable way en-
deaycring to secure messengers at
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's Office, through advertising and
personally soliciting. the local man
ager of the company has failed, and
the office is still without messengers
That it is needful to have messen-
gers at a telegraph Office. goes with
out saying. kilograms must be de-
livered, and y the manager Who re-
ceives them attempts TO deliver rhem
as he has been obliged to do for some
days, from tine to time, what is to
become of the messages with no one
at the receiving key?
Since the Government has taken
over all telegraph cfbces, and compa-
MES are now under Governmental
regime and jurisdiction. it would not
be bad idea for the Government to
DRAFT MESSENGERS.
IT seems the only solution Of a diff
ficult problem.

TRAVELLING GOLFER
ENL|STS IN Y. N. c. A.
Will Be "Caddy" For The Boys
In Khaki Of Overseas
Service
HAS PLAYED 21s LINKS

Charles Leonard Fletcher. known
internationally as ''the globe-trotting
golfer" who has dug trenches with
his niblicks in more links than any
other pursuer of the elusive gutta
percha, will soon be over in the land
of trenches what are trenches, I"
where drive is drive and where the
cry of fore makes one not only duck
but also put on his gas mask.
Fletcher, whose weird golfing ex-
periences would fill library and who
can talk photograph blue in the face
recounting them, was an actor of parts
until last week when he changed his
profession to a 24-hour-a-day servant
of Uncle Sam in the capacity of a Y.
NJ. c. A. overseas man. Just before
enlisting in the Red Triangle work, he
played over his 216th course, the new
Philmont links of Philadelphia.
General duty as a hut secretary
will be performed by the globe trott-
ing golfer when he gets "overthere. +"
He has requested that his eventual as
signment be right up with the front
lines, where his training as dodger
of flying golf balls will enable him to
work cody under fire. He will caddy
for the boys in khaki, dealing out vari-
Gus commodities they crave and doing
an ylittle thing. or big thing, that
might promote their welfare and NOR
ale. In the evenings it will be easy to
visualize him in the centre of group
listening eagerly to his string of
bizarre stories that have convulsed
many nineteenth hole" causus as
well as 'going over big" across the
footlights. AS story teller he takes
back seat to no one.
When Fletcher eventually comes
back from the trenches-if he does
he will go on enlarging his directory
of personally inspected golf courses,
but in the meantime it is safe to say
no man will threaten his position as
ranking first in number of links
played He has such load that there
is no second.

MARYLAND CROPS ARE
SHORT FOR THE YEAR

F. B. Bamberger, acting director of
the State Agricultural Work. has sub
mitted to the Maryland Council of De-
Tense report which shows that Mary
land crops are not up to the standard
this year The corn yield, he says,
will not exceed 20 per cent Of the nor
NAL. The pastures, he adds. are short
and the tobacco and tomato crops only
fair The Maryland apple crop is only
so per cent normal, and the peach
crop is 40 per cent.
The wheat crop has yielded as low
as so to 20 per cent in some sections
and has gone ony las high as so per
cent of normal in other sections. The
yield, it is stated, will be only about
100000 bushels, or virtually the
same yield which was obtained last
year-a relatively poor season.
The shortages have been due to
droughts and to the severe cold Of
last winter.

propaganda with a propaganda OF their
own. And that OF the Allies has the
great advantage Of truthfulness.
Among the best little propagan-
dists on our side now are the Czecho-
Sloyaks. The Austrian army is known
TO be permeated with Czech influence.
BY means OF a sort Of underground
railroad the Czecho- SIoyaks who have
already made their escape TO the AL
lied armies are getting their messages
across TO their friends in the Austrian
army. They are dropping il from bal
looms and airpIanes. too. This propa-
ganda, based on fact instead of lies.
is spreading through the Austrian
forces.
However they do the work, it is
bound TO be effective for it goes from
those who have escaped Austrian rule
to those who are still suffering under
the yoke The Czecho-Slovaks have
at last found the opportunity to free
themselves that they have been seek
ing for centuries.
Working in way for themselves,
they are doing great service for the
Allied cause. Their principles and
ideals are the same as ours and form
"a strong bond of sympathy between
them and us. Both are fighting for
freedom and enlightenment. II is well
for US to remember that our sardy rec
ognition of their purpose has already
worked as much good for us as for

AFTER sT. MIHIEL

When they charged the St Mihiel
salient, the American troops sang,
Where Do We Go From Tkre?" That
question becomes all the more inter-
esting, TO them and to US, in view of
their phenomenal success.
They have demonstrate a crafty
ing ability TO go through the German
lines almost at will. They do not
doubt, and we do not doubt that they
are going TO sweep forward in the
general direction of Berlin, until they
get across the Rhine and as muen
farther as is necessary to force the
German government 10 unconditional
surrender. But that is a pretty long,
hard, devious road. What will be the
next move?
Experts agree that after the reduc-
ton of that big salient that jutted so
long into the French front, our army
will proceed to the redemption OF the
great system OF iron mines that lie
back of II. Metz seems, on the map, a
natural objective. and Metz will come
into its inevitable fate in due time;
but 1t is of more practical and imme-
date importance to drive the Germans
from the Great Briey mining region
stretching from Metz to Longwy.
Half of that valuable territory was
stolen from France by Prussia in 1871.
1t was only through an oversight that
Prussia failed to take it ALL She REM
edied that error by grabbing the re-
mainder in her first dash at the open
ing OF the present war, thereby de-
priving France of the mines that fur
nished 90 per cent of French iron be-
fore the war, forcing France to rely
on England for her metal. and giving
Germany an enviable monopoly of the
most fundamental of all raw materials.
From that area Germany has been
getting, for war purposes, as much
iron as the whole United States pro-
duces. 1t has been her principal ma
terial asset Without ii, she would
soon have to stop fighting.
1t is evident what tremendous vic
tory it would be. to wrest those iron
mines from the Huns, particularly if
the British at the same time succeeded
in winning back for France the big
coal region around Lens. Germany
will fight desperately to hold them and
Germany must not be permitted to
hold them. Economically they are
worth untold millions. Militarily they
are the keystone of the German war
and the German empire. There is
man-size job, worthy in every way of
Uncle Sans army.

1t must be admitted that the man.
ner in which Eugene V. Debs conduct
ed himself at his trial for violation of
the espionage act was dignified and
what men familiar with this Socialist
leaders personal character might
have expected The accused man
showed mo sign of bitterness, hatred
or resentment. He took the attitude
of man who had done his duty as he
saw il. and who was ready to take the
consequences. After his conviction he
said:
Il haven't one word of complaint
against the verdict or the trial. The
evidence was truthful, it was fairly
presented by the prosecution, the jury
was patient and attentive, and the
judges charge was mastery and
scrupulously fair
This is indeed an example for the
social and political malcontents who
have long followed Mr.. Debs' intellec-
tual leadership but ignored the kindly
spirit with which his ideas have gen.
orally been tempered.
In this very distinction, however. be-
tween Debs and his followers is seen
the impossibility of allowing him or
men like him to continue his work, al
this time particularly. We have here
an unusual instance of man whose
heart may be right but whose head is
woefully wrong, and whose very per-
sonal integrity and charm enable him
to teach persuasively doctrines that
are a grave menace to the nation and
the cause to which it is dedicated.
We cannot tolerate, at this critical
time, the open advocacy of pernicious
principles merely because the advo-
cate appears to act from conscientious
motives, and lives personally blame
less life.
