will be based on surveys on all indus

a woman can fill it.
Publication of the lists is expected to

This move is a result of the enlarged
army program, Inder which four mil
lion men will be sent to Franco by
next June. 1t is expected to weed out
of non-essential employrlents every
man in the nation. The result will be
the probable induction of hundreds of
thousands of women not only INTO cs-

the numbers of womon may run into

The women areNimperatively needed
to insure an adequate supply of mater

Secretary Baker Is
Highly Pleased With
Supply Facilities

Paris, Sept. 23,-American Secretary
Baker, on his recent visit to Paris, eJ
pressed astonishment at the growth of
the American supply facilities since his
last visit to the front
Baker made rapid inspection OF
the vast organization Of supply and
lines of communication which stretcA
from the sea across France to the AM
erican line.
He started at seaport where he saw
unloading food, soldiers and munitions.
From there he followed the route of
supplies toward the American battle
front, stopping at several large bases
and making side trips to aviation tain
ing camps, storage warehouses and sal
wage camps. He saw factories built by
the Americans to manufacture certain
supplies in France and thus save ion
mage. He saw repair shops and huge
offices necessary to keep the records.
BY strenuous travelling the Baker
party managed to catch gliepsc of
almost all the multitude of supplies to
feed the fighters.
From the supply lines, the party
headed for several leave sectors where
wounded men were convalescing and
men on leave were enjoying vacations.
