Seattle in the mind of the Nation as "te city that builds Ships"
fields thousands of men who later will be released for shpbulding and 9TH
er war industries.
Seattle citizens are hearing the call for the emergency that exists for
the next sixty or ninety days.
Business and professional men are enrolling. Mayor Hanson, lawyers,
doctors, ministers, merchants = many are joining the ranks of the ship
workers, but we need more!
We are just beginning on the two thousand additional unshled workers

USE OF BEEF CuRTAILED
BY FOOD CHIEF

And yet again the cry for help
has sped across the seas to America.
Once more the allied armies, who are
fighting with their backs to the wall,
waiting and praying for the time when
America can fully and without stint
hurl her mighty forces onto the foe
and crush them back. back beyond
the Rhine, have asked Americans at
home to help.
The beef supply is falling short
Americas s reserve is very low. The al
lied demand is constantly increasing.
America and her people must save
beef.
II is the hope Of the u s. Food Ad-
ministratlon that during the next
three months the civilian demand for
beef will be greatly decreased. and
to this end Herbert Hoover has issued
an order prohibiting the hotels and
restaurants from serving beef in any
form for more than four meals week.
These beef" days are definitely
named, and beef in any Of It's forms
can only be served at these times.
"The food administration realizes"
stated Robert ]. Grant, executive man
ager Of Colorado food administration,
shat II cannot enforce the beef rul-
ings In private homes. nevertheless II
is in these homes that most OF the
beef will be saved. Voluntary ration
ing has been tremendously successful
in the past and It will not fail in the
meat crisis"
In England long lines Of people
weave slowly and patiently into Z
shop In order to obtain scanty sup
ply OF bones for which they pay 35
cents for five pounds. The people Of
the states are not asked to live on
bones. They are only asked to substi-
tute In some degree fresh pork, bacon,
ham and the beef by-products for a
while.
We are at war. The war IL ours.
Those Of us who stay at hCme must do
our fighting by conserving the supply
Of beef for shipment to the places
where II Is mort needed.

advance in the farm season and in
creased calls for hands by farmers
the farm labor situation shows a great
ly increased Improvement says an an
nouncement today by the United
States employment service. Reports

bly, more to their appalling losses
which in the past ten days have
caused such depletions in organiza-
tons that offensive tactics must wait
the arrival of new troops The enemy
is moving up new troops and supplies
along the Lys river and these are be-
ing bombarded heavily by the British.
Germany probably still has many
reserve divisions, and there is little
doubt her masters will use up the last
division in their attempts to crush
either the British or the French. The
British have borne the brunt of the
present campaign which will end its
first month today, and their line is still
unbroken. The enemy has not been
able to pierce it and roll up the side as
he apparently intended
Germans Have Gained Nothing.
Facing them today on the western
front the Germans find British,
French, American. Belgian, Portu-
guese and Italian troops. The number
is increasing constantly while the
Germans undoubtedly have used their
veteran divisions in the battle of the
past month. The Germans cannot
halt now if they would attempt to
crush the allies while they themselves
yet have strength. Field Marshal
Haig's Fabian tactics have been more
than a match for the strong headon
In month of the heaviest fighting
of the war the Germans have gained
nothing the allies could not afford to
lose when at the same time they could
inflict losses more than commensur-
ate with the value of the positions sac
rificed. In fact the allies now are in
better position for an overpowering
offensive than they were on March Fl.
In Flanders and in Artois, north of
Arras. the opposing gunners are active
the Germans especially so north of
Merville, the apex of the northern
salient. On the Picardy battlefield the
German artillery fire has been lively
between the Somme and Mont Didier.
Americans and French in Raid.
On the right bank of the Mouse,
probably on the American sector south
of Verdun. American and French
troops have carried out a small raid
into the enemy trenches. Several cas-
ualties were inflicted on the Germans
but their positions were found unoc-
cupied. The Germany artillery is re-
ported active in this region.
German troops last night launched
a raiding operation against the French
lines in the region of TIangard-en-
Santerre. southeast of Amiens. The
effort was a failure the French war
office announced today. The French
took prisoners in this local action.
The artillery has been active along
the southern battle line between Las
signy and Noyen.

FINE FOR WHEAT

Continued from preceding page.)
]. c. Mohler today put on the rains
and snow and heavy clouds of the
last two days. Todays brand of
weather will almost make wheat grow
where there was scarce a green blade
a week ago. 1t rains and SHOWS and
the cool, cloudy days are just the
thing to start, the Kansas wheat crop
on a great spring drive.
Mothers report shows more than
$4,000 acres of growing wheat in the
state. The growing acreage is mil
lions greater than a year ago. The
condition is nearly fifteen per cent
better. The rains of the last week
have brought a new smile to the west
ern wheat counties. The last week
has meant thousands of barrels of
wheat flour for American and allied
soldiers and millions of dollars for
liberty loan bonds and Red Cross sub
scriptions.
This is the very best possible
Many of the fields show a sparse
growth. This ought to bring every
bit of live wheat to the surface. 1t
will push the Kansas crop right along
and is a ninth inning drive with the
bases full. These rains won't hurt
the oats, either. They may be just
a little rough on potatoes. but the
wheat growers are receiving just the
brand of weather they would make if
the weather department were turned
over to them. The short grass coun-
try never saw better wheat growing
weather. These rains and SHOWS and
the cloudy weather are worth mil
lions"
