The Government wants 5000
men for work at the powder plant.
said Maj. Rutledge Smith, Friday,
and the Government is going to get
them, even if it is necessary to close
every nonessential industry in the
state. Unless those operating these
nonessential industries contribute
the men, the community labor
boards of the state will be called
upon to provide them by selecting
enough. from each industry to make
up tfE quota. After the completion
Of the plant, when the Government
will need 25,000 more men to ope-
rate the works, the same means will
be employed to provide the workers.
If employers Of the state have not
sufficient patriotism to furnish the
men for this most important work,
the board will exert its authority
and order the employees to report at
the plant"
The statement issued by Col.
Smith states that the plant is only
running 70 per cent Of its capacity
on account Of the lack of men. The
amount Of smokeless powder being
manufactured Is placed at 200,00C
pounds daily below the amount re.
quired for Government purposes
Col. Smith also points to the stu.

limit, and adds that this alone
should be sufficient incentive to
everyone in Nashville and vicinity
to see that it Is operated to the
limit.
1t is evident that the board is 90

MENICO CITY. Dec %. - The
signin. by Germany of the armis-
tice. together with the formation OF
a socialist government i'm Germany.
has caused a split in the hitherto
solid ranks OF the German and Aus
trian colonies in Mexico. DR.. Yez.
leader of the German socialist wing
in this republic, declared today that
the greater part of the German res
idents in Mexico had been opposed
to the war and had also disa pproV-
ed OF the violent German propagan-
da against the United States since
the latter country entered the war.
DR.. Yez asserted that the German
socialists and anti militarists in
Mexico were in condition similar
10 that of their compatriots in Ger
many who dared not raise their
voice against the military leaders
for fear of betraying the country.
He added that the Germans now
want a world peace, including the
cessation of anti-AmeriCan prOpa-
ganda Germany had been misled
and dominated by the rich junker
class. who furnished money for such
propaganda against the desires Of
the greater part of their country
men.
He concluded with the assertion
that the emancipated Germans
would now use their best endeavors
to curb harmful activities OF the
former leaders of the German col
ony in Mexico.
