er than Was Reported.
The far-reaching effect on German
morale of the great Allied blow be-
tween Scissors and tho Champagne
sector is nowhere more convincingly
apparent than among the large batch
of German prisoners captured within
the last few days by the Australians
writes correspondent from the Brit
ish front in France.
~ sad lot OF rabbits" was the de-
scription of them by British officer
who interrogated some of them.
I've never run across a more dis
consolate lot Of boches," he said.
What seemed to be the outstanding
thought in the minds of both officers
and men was the fact that despite
what the German high command had
long been preaching about the ex-
haustion Of all the French reserves,
there is no sign of a let up in the fight
ing.
Other German prisoners asserted
their losses had been great in the big
Scissors battle. They had believed
their big offensive would be a success,
but suddenly 1t turned into q retreat.
Their hopes in the U-boats had waned,
for Ameicans seemed to be every
where in the fighting. What added to
their disbursement was the fact they
had been warned that British raiding
would certainly continue on wide
scale. German dead in front Of one
Australian battalion which attacked
near Morlancourt two days ago were
fully two hundred.
Whatever strong divisions Prince
Rupprecht may have In reserve on the
British front, those holding the line
and suffering from almost incessant
British raiding and harassing artillery
fire, include big percentage OF
troops of low morale. 1t shows Luden-
dorff cannot use over seventy divisions
in big battle, particularly when II
turns suddenly into a disastrous de-
fensive battle, without having a
weakening effect on the morale Of the
rest of the army.

GOVERNMENT LABOR AGENCY
All UnskiIled Workmen to be Under
Federal Control.

All UnskiIled Workmen to be Under
Federal Control.
Registration Of unskilled labor has
been taken over by the Federal gov
ernment as a war measure under an
agency Of the department Of labor de-
signed as the United States employ
ment service. Shortage Of unskilled
labor. reported from many sections Of
the country, are expected to be alle-
waited by the plan just put into opera
ton whereby non-essential industries
will be required to contribute certain
quotas in war work.
Through the operation Of the system
of the government recruiting it is be-
lieved, unnecessary movement of labor
from community to community and
from industry to industry will be cbvi-
ated; wasteful labor turnover will be
largely eliminated and wages will be
stabilized.
The employment service Of which
John B. Densmore has been named
director general, will work through
state boards, wiich in turn will con-
troll labor through community boards.
AS effective now, government recruit
ing will apply only to skilled labor.
All private agencies for the recruiting
of labor are prohibited.
The understanding cooperation and
good will of the American people are
called upon to aid in making the sys-
tenn q success by Secretary Wilson in a
statement made public today.
A shortage Of 100000 unskilled
workers In war industries Is shown In
incomplete reports to the department
OF labor's Federal employment service
which today took over the recruiting
of this class Of labor for war industries
employing q maximum force Of 100 OF
more persons Final reports, 1t was
announced. are expected to show a
shortage of 10000 workers.
War industry was defined in the an
nouncement by the employment SER
vice as "the manufacture OF products
or erection Of structure directly or in
directly supplied to some department
Of the government for use in connec-
tion with the war;" Coal mining also
was classified as wholly war work. y
While they will be protected from
recruiting by other industries, railways
and farms must obtain their unskilled
labor by other means than through the
Federal employment service. the an
nouncement said.
