MISSOULA WORKERS
ENLIST FOR NATION

With an enrolment that is fast in
creasins. Missoula's public service re-
serve is attracting unusual interest
among the skilled wortrnen of the city
Yesterday eight men we're added to the
list OF 80. Although the department
represents every branch of skilled la
Dor, the majority Of the men who have
enrolled are carpenters.
Men in this branch of the service are
advised by the government to stay
with their present positions and as near
their present addresses as possible, ac-
cording to letter received yesterday
by w. r. Cobban, county enrolling
agent, from Scott Leavitt, state direc-
tor of the public service reserve Mr.
Leavitt said in his letter that an ex-
aminine agent for the government
would he in Missoula some time short
ly to ascertain the fitness of the men
for government positions.
Mr.. CObban also received a letter
from +. a. Silcox, former district Tor
ester here. now district manager OF
the department OF labor war emergen-
cy service at Seattle, urging the en-
couragement of enrolment of skilled
iron workers.
There is great need for men who
are used TO handling steel, sheet metal
workers, boiler makers. riveters and
machinists Of all kinds in the ship
yards on Puget Sound, according to Mr.
Silcox. There is also a strong demand
for shipwrights and caulkers in the
wooden ship yards. There is no need
at present for common laborers and
house carpenters on the coast, said Mr.
Slcox.
There are four steel yards in Seat
tie and two more under construction
There are many wooden ship yards
both IN Seattle and Tacoma. Wages
for skilled workmen range from S5,2r
to $3.50 and up.

ration Of peace. The confusion which
has marked our efforts to make the
physical preparations for war Is slight
indeed compared with the intellectual
confusion which would prevail II the
war ended as suddenly as it began.
4 recognize this primary duty, but
1 am addressing these remarks to an
audience composed chiefly Of those
who can aid but little in the military
preparations. We are fighting two
wars: One upon the field Of battle.
where undying glory awaits those who
fall after gallant struggle; the other is
at home, where the treacherous. I'M
seen foe is seeking to strike in the
dark, and where there awaits no re-
ward for the faithful but the con-
seriousness Of duty done.
Let me, as a closing remark. press
home the fact that the old order has
passed and our former social struc
ture no longer stands intact, whether
the war last one year or ten. 1t is not
enough to express alarm at this sit
uation. We must prepare for it.

ENGLISH LORD HAS
WORLD LEAGUE PLAN
Would Not Have War Unless
Dispute Is Aired.

London. Feb. l5.-Lcrd Robert Cecil
minister of blockade. who announced
IN the house of commons recently that
he himself had prepared n plan for a
league of nations, discussed the whole
problem today. While declining to
give n detailed outline of his plan,
which with others now is engaging the
consideration of the British govern
ment. he indicated a number of con-
clnsions to which his study of the
problem had led him.
The first and most important mat
ter to be insured by any adequate
league of nations" said Lord Robert,
lis that no nation shall go to war un-
til the matter in dispute has been sub
mitted to international consideration.
II at first the league of nations gets
no further than this 1t will he worth
while and n beginning would be made
from which wider developments are
possible in due course"
second point he emphasized was,
that while for an ideal league il would
be necessary to have all nations Of the
world as members. "it may be found
necessary to begin with a more re-
stricted membership"
Lord Robert declared himself con-
WINGED that the economic weapons
would prove a most useful arm for
the enforcement of the leagues de
crees.
