WAR INDUSTRIES
SHORT OF 100000
UNSKILLED MEN

The Government today found war
industries short 100000 unskilled
workers, as II started its system OF
recruiting and distributing such labor.
Complete returns are expected to
show double that shortage. !
From now on, no war industry can
compete against another for iunsRilled
labor. but all must get theiA require
ments through the Federal employ
ment service, which will havk branch
organizations throughout thetlaud.
Industries may compete for skilled
labor for the time being. but want
ads" and private labor agencies are
banished as far as the unskilled men
are concerned.
War work is defined as manufacture
OF productions or erection of build
ings directly or indirectly supplied to
some department of the Government,
coal mining. railroading, and farming
State agencies will control distribu-
ton and recruiting within a State, but
regulations are strict as to private re-
cruiting except where laborers apply
for work voluntarily.

Serious years OF war lie behind you.
Your victorious fighting spirit carried

"In the second and third years of
the war, you, by your destructive
blows, broke the strength Of the
enemy in the east
"As the fruit Of these victories, the
fourth year of the war has brought
US peace in the east. In the west the
battles won in the recent months
count among the highest deeds of
fame in German history.
You are in the midst OF the hard

Friends sometimes hinder
our growth more than our
enemies.
A friend will do everything
to keep from us those un-
pleasant things which he or
she thinks might make US feel
badly.
Our enemies have no regard
Tor how we react to the things
they say and very often tell
us the plain truth very much
to our discomfort-but also to
our good.
Let US be thankful for our
friends, but let us be doubly
grateful to our enemies.
And, just remember that if
you have no enemies you don't
amount to much. Big men
and women attract staunch
friends and make even strong
er enemies.
Tell me the caliber Of your
enemies and I'll tell you what
you're worth.
