ALBERT RE-CAPTURED.
Town 18 Miles Northeast of Amiens
1t Has Been the Scene of Des-
perate Fighting.

The town of Albert was re-captured
by the British Thursday. This is the
keystone of the German defense pro-
tecting the Germans north of the
Somme. Here the British made l,4OO
Germans prisoners.
Albert is town in the department.
of Somme, 18 miles northeast OF
Amiens. 1t is situated on the Ancre
river and is railroad center. Before
the war it had a population of more
than 1000.
Albert has been the scene Of des-
perate fighting and in the recent Brit
ish drive the town was surrounded on
three sides by the armies of Field
Marshal Haig, the village Of Aveluy
on the north ard Meaulte on the south
having been reached by them.
It was at Albert that for more than
three years the famous Leaning vlr-
gin" hung from the top of the cathc-
dral. The base of the statute OF the
Virgin which surmounted the splre
was hit by a German she'll while the
town was under heavy bombardmen'
IN August, 1914, and the image top
pled over. It did not fall from the
PEDESTAL. however, but hung in horl-
zontal position until April OF the pres
ent wear when German shell again
struck the statute and sent it crashing
to the ground.

SHORTAGE IN WAR WORK.
"A Million Unskilled Laborers Needed
Further Curtailment of Non-Es.
sential Production is Planned to Re-
lease Men for War Work.

..Ihe fact that there is now a short
age in war work of 100000 unskill-
ed laborers and that the reserves of
skilled workers is exhausted DEVELOPED
thursday at conference of field
agents of the Federal employment
service. Further curtailment of non
essential production is planned to re
lease men for war work.
Inc labor shortage is so serious that
completion of number of important
war projects for the army and navy
is belng delayed, it was stated at the
conference. The field agents decided
tnat the only way in which the need
ed laborers could be secured was to
take them from non essential indus
tries.
The time has come for the entire
nation to realize that business as
usuar is no longer possible" Nathan
"A. Smyth, assistant director of the
employment service told the confer
ence. IF we are to end the war
quickly the production of luxuries and
non-essentials in this country must
come to an end. 1t is a question of
winning the war quickly or having it
dragged on indefinitely.
Manufacturers must give up the
creation of needless goods, workers
must be willing to change from non-
essential to war production even at 4
hardship to themselves; the public at
large. must stop buying luxuries and
thereby make the problem of curtail-
ing non-essential easier"
An indication of how non essentials
may be, combed was given today when
the community labor board Of the Dis
trict of Columbia announced a list of
"a classes of work regarded as non
essential. Employers in this class are
their unskilled labor for war work.
Community boards are being organiz-
ed throughout the country by the de-
partment of labor and they are to
work in close cooperation with local
draft boards.
Following are the industries which
the district board, the first to make
an announcement has held as non-es-
sential:
Automobile industry accessories,
drivers of pleasure cars, cleaning, re-
pairing and delivery of same: sight
seeing cars, auto trucks other than
those hauling fuel or doing govern
ment work; teaming, other than de-
livery of products for war work;
bath and barber shop attendants
bowling, billiard and poolrooms, bot
tiers and bottle supplies, candy man.
ufacturers and delicatessen estab-
lishments, builders and contractors
not engaged in erection of structures
for war work; dancing academies.
mercantile stores. florists, fruit
stands, junk dealers, delivery ard
sales stables, pawnbrokers, peanut
vendors, shoe shining shops, window
cleaners, soft drink establishments
soda fountain supplies.
