NATION IN NEED
 OF TECHNICALLY TRAINED WORKERS
Program of Higher Educa- tion Is Advanced by Spe-
 cial Committee.

Closely in line with the War De- partment's recommendations, to make the draft ages IS to 45, with provis- ion for training of the younger men, is the report of Secretary Lanes spe- cial committee on higher education and industry just made public wherein the nations need for tech nically trained men is defined and a specific higher education program urged.
 The committee, which consisted of Fuller D. Galloway, a ffnancier of La Grange, Ga; Samuel M. Felton, direc- tor-general of military railways for the War Department, and President P. A. Alderman, of the University of Virginia, seeks to show how essential 1t is, if the governments far-reaching military plans are to be carried out successfully, that the processes of higher education be maintained at the highest possible efficiency-espec1all those having to do with the future supply of men and women trained in scientific and technical subjects, in- cluding teachers in these fields.
 Impossible to Exaggerate Importance.
 That it is impossible to exaggerate the importance of engineering knowl- \ edge and skill, in the broadest sensc, is the judgment of Secretary Lanes committee, not only directly in the conduct of military operations but in- directly in the essential war industries, including agriculture. The report says:
 ''The engineering problems con- fronting the United States are indefin- ately greater than those of any other of the great nations. For an average dtstarcn of more than 4,500 miles across the continents and the seas, we must transport all of the men, muni- | tions and supplies which are to repre- sent us in this great struggle. i Furthermore, the central powers pre- 1 pared themselves for this conflict over a long period of years, and by this | means determined its character tc l their own advantage in large meas ure. The loss by our Allies of mer of highly specialized training in the early stages of the war, and the diff culties in the way of recovery, leave i this nation in the position of trustee | of the only remaining sources of sup. ply"

n a Enod Administration.

the establishment of the Student Army Training Corps, to utilize the higher educational institutions in training young men under 21, secre- tary Lanes committee makes the fol- lowing recommendations:
 The people of the United States should recognize that the maintenance of the war strength of the nation In its full power demands the utmost eff forts of all existing well organized and adequately equipped colleges, uni versailles and technical schools. This means ever increasing and more de- voted bodies of students as well as faculties.
 Young people having the requisite qualifications should heed this urgent call of their country, and apply them selves diligently enthusiastically, and in increasing numbers to the task of preparing for the highest service of which they are capable. Wherever nra acticable, young men should at the same time join the Students Enlisted Reserve and prepare for military ser ready for that call also when it comes.
 Institutions of higher education should adjust their courses, so far as possible, to immediate war needs and to the demands which must inevitably come with the establishment of peace and should develop especially those scientific and practicable branches ot study which are essential to the win ming of the war, to the development of our industries and commerce, and to the accomplishment of the tasks o1 the civic and political life of the na- tion.
 Educational institutions should use every effort to make the opportunities and privileges of training for public service accessible to all suitably pre-. pared men and women of college age In the cases of many worthy young men and women this will require some provision for assistance in meeting payments for tuition and laboratory fees and other necessary expenses o1 higher technical training"

bureau works in liaison with, and not directly under, the embassy.
 The War Trade Board, Paris Branch, is another new feature. Headed by William McFadden with Clarence Stetson as assistant, the board here is necessarily active car rying out the directions of Vance Thompson, head of the parent board in Washington and in general looking after American trade interests iii Flu rope.
 Dr. B. Dana Durand, one-time chief of the census. is at the head of the Hoover Food Bureau that has recent ly been established here. This bu- reau follows shipmovements, the food situation, gathers food statistics, and is responsible for the division of the food supplied to the allies. By keep ing an intensive watch on the various food decrees promulgated by the French authorities it Is able to advise accurately concerning the apportion- ment of food and the amounts to be sent each month.

There are over twenty clerks here today, under the tdirection of Lee Meriweather, assist ant to Ambassador Sharp, Second Sec retary Ben Thaw and Vice Consul Henry P. Elliott.
 The expansion of the diplomatic &C., tivities is reflected in the physical ex- tension of the Embassy quarters.

EMBASSY OF UNITED STATES IN
 PARIS ENL LARCED EIGHT TIMES

Paris, Aug. 24-So greata have been the war demands upon the diplomatic and consular services of the United States in France since America enter ed the conflict that the embassy has had nearly to multiply eight times it's former strength in Paris and the con- sulates all over France have doubled their forces. In addition there have been established in Paris, either in the embassy or in close liaison with it branches of the War Trade Board, the Hoover Food Bureau and the Com mittee on Public Information.
 The working force at the embassy before the war began was about 10, exclusive of secretaries and attaches. Today it is 80. About 70 clerks have had to be brought over from Washing ton to take care of the growing influx of work.
 At the embassy in pre-war times there were two attaches-naval and military Today the naval attache has Is persons, while the military attache four aides and a clerical force of about is surrounded by five aides and from 15 to IS clerical employees. In addi- tion new attaches post has been ere ated, that of scientific attache, a post filled by Dr. Frederick Durand. He represents the Board of Inventions in France, and investigates all inven- tions in France that may be used in prosecuting the war successfully. The establishment in Paris of a branch of the Bureau of Public In- formation Is another event of recent occurrence. Headed by James Ker-
 ney, the board employs a staff of American and French newspapermen who are both gathering and dissemtn- ating information about events in France, and are making it daily clear

PREPARATIONS FOR
 PEACE NOW DUE

Self-preservation is the first law of patriotism. This is a war of self preservation. If the was is not fought and won on the battlefields of Du- rope, 1t must be continued on our own shores. What most Americans do not reali0e is that when we joined the Great Cause we were simply taking up arms in defense of our own lib- critics. It is every mans war---that is, every man who hopes to think and work and live for himself.
 Victory for Germany means world autocry; the triumph of a sinister so- cial and economic penetration that will stife initiative and hold the uni verse in an economic bondage. It is dangerous optimism to believe that Germany is beaten. I Nave watched the dents of the Teutonic hammer all the way from the English Channel to the Italian Carso. have talked with many German prisoners. They are not only full of fight but, in the midst of a war that menaces their imperial future, they are planning for the trade future. Despite their losses they will be going business concerr the day peace is declared. What is more important, they will have some thing to sell.
 What does 1t mean? Simply this while we prepare for war Jet us alsc prepare for peace. We can fight tn, German with lathe and loom just a. effectively as with gun and grenade We were unready for war. Let u! not make the came mistake and b, unready for the bloodles5 bushes battles of peace. Every investment o. money and energy in new enterprise today is just so much insuranc, against the after-war commercial az
