MAY HAVE BEEN LIEUT. EADIE.
Hilton, \. H., Man Now Believed to Have Been "Captaiu' Mentioned.

Hilton, N. H, March 7.--Lieut Harold Eadie of this town is thought to have been the officer who lost his life when he led his men in No Man $ Land on March 1 to trap a German raiding party returning from an un- successful attack on American trenches, according to information re- ceiyed by his father. One of the sur vivors of the company told cor respondent of the Associated Press of seeing the captain kneeline be- side a splitting machine gun blazinc, away at the Germans with his auto matic pistol and falling with bullet in his chest. Eadic's father thinks the lieutenant was acting in command of his company.
 Lieut.. Eadies death was reported by Gen. Pershing, who did not, how ever identify him as the "captain" mentioned.

In England, even after the scarcity of
farm labor had become more acute
than 1t Is here now, the 'woman's land

by masculine prejudice until the gov

county fairs for public competitions
for woman workers In various depart

considerable curiosity and created u
great deal of discussion. The question
however, was not whether girls could
do farm work. but which girl could do

were made. Rivalry ran high. And

so much to the Joy of life that every
girl is entitled to a chance at some or
them. While the girl is growing up is
the time for her first instruction ana
for the really tedious practice which
knowledge of music and languages
compels. Timidity is easy to overcome
in the young. 1t is especially sensible

MEETING THE
EMERGENCY
By VIVIAN M. MOSES
OF The Vi9iionscJ

When Ii. G. Wells called the present
war the war of machines he had in
mind the vast quantities of engines of
war used at the front-the ordnance.
both large and small, the bomb-mor-
tars and mine-throwers, gas-projectOrs,
airplanes and tanks employed In the
actual fighting. But there is another
sense in which this Is the war of ma
chimes even more truly than that In
which the great British novelist used
the term: for on the machines in the
shops and factories of the allied ma
tions depends an allied victory-on
the machines and the men who drive
them.
As has been the case with each of
her allies, the United States since 1t
entered the war has had to increase
stupendously the output of Its machine
shops. This result is being accom-
plished by the erection of new plants,
by the enlargement and increase In ia.
cilities of the shops already engaged
in the production of war products, and
by the conversion to this purpose Of
plants previously engaged in other
work. The problem, of multiplying the
shops to work in is comparatively
simple one; more difficult is the prob
lem Of supplying the skilled workmen
to fill these shops.
Obviously we cannot quadruple our
skilled workmen by the old methods Of
apprenticeship and training fast
enough to meet the nations needs.
The old method has been found want
ing. 1t consisted In taking the raw.
unskilled laborer into the shop, start
ing him at the simplest work that
could be found, and letting him fight
his way slowly and painfully to the
status Of trained mechanic. 1t was
a method which wasted the three pre-
cious elements. time. material and
man-power.
New Way Was Found.
The training accomplished by pri-
vate and public vocational and tech
nical schools brings far better results,
but produces too small n quantity of
skilled mechanics to meet the emer-
gency.
France found new way. Great
Britain has adopted 1t. And now
America must get in line-is already
getting in line, in fact with gratifying
results. For the new method Is swift,
is sure, is comparatively cheap. 1t
turns the grocer boy or the school
teacher into skilled mechanic with
equal facility. 1t is the method Of
the shop training school.

Cross hospital where also acute and
contagious cases are treated. More
than 10000 have received dispensary
treatment, and those in need of con-
valescent care or those suffering from
tuberculosis are sent to the Red Cross
hospital near Lyon. The thousands of
old folk, women and children without
homes, who leave Evian each week for
the various departments to which they
are designated, find there the repre-

There are more than fifty distributed

In Paris, twenty-six houses for the
lodging of refugees have been turned

necessary requisites and in certain
cases advances money to cover the ex-
