MANY SHOPS TO CLOSE;
LUXURIES TO BE DENIED
Call for Million Workers
Forces Taking Nones-
. sential Employees.
AS RESULT WOMEN WILL BE
PLACED IN MEMS POSITIONS
Voluntary Compliance Asked. But
If Necessary Compulsion Will Be
Practiced by Officials.

Non-essential unskilled labor in
the District of Columbia was de-
hned yesterday by the local Com
munity Labor board.
The list of industries effected by
this action of the board will in
clude practically all of those en-
gagged in the production of lux
uries or in non-war work. While
this list will apply to the District
only, it is believed that similar
action will be taken by other local
boards throughout the country.
Notice to be Sent.
II Is expected that all employers of
labor included in the list will release
their men voluntarily for active war
work. In cases where employees are
not Immediately released, a formal
notice will be served on the tardy en-
ployer, requesting him to comply with
the rulings Of the board. The board
however, believe that 1t will not BE-
necessary to issue such notices in the
majority Of cases.
Those released by this method will
be placed in some branch Of war work
selected by the local office of the
United States Employment Service.
Many shops to Close.
In the District the curtailment OF
the industries listed will mean tha,
many of our local shops must close
their doors. In other cases the short
age OF male labor will be supplied by
women.
Thee will. however. bs many cases
where twill be impossible for women
to carry on the work. Owners OF
garages. delivery trucks. sightseeing
cars. etc, will find It difficult 10 Sc
cure women mechanics.
One of the results Of the ruling will
be that the people of the city will
cease to buy many things heretofore
regarded as necessities. This is es.
pecially true Of candy, and other con-
fections and delicatessen products.
This drastic action Of the board Il
made in an effort to assist in supply
ing the present shortage OF unskilled
labor in Industries engaged In essen,
tial war production. In unskilled labor
the shortage amounts to over one mil
lion men-in skilled labor II Is almos
as great. The question Of supplying
this deficit has been under considera
ton for some time.

hoped, however. that il the action o.
the local board Is followed by Other
boards throughout the country, the re

, At British Front. Aug. Gen,
Julian Byng's army advanced steadily
in the Ancre sector south OF Arras
last night and early today. in the
face OF stubborn infantry opposition
and violent artillery fire.
The battle which spurted into flame
at dawn yesterday along six miles OF

four additional miles.
Byng's troops advanced to depth
of four miles, capturing two thousand
prisoners. many guns and material.
and inflicting heavy casualties upon
the enemy. The British losses were
light in comparison.
This new Arras battle is raging In
the hottest spell of the year. The
Tommies are fighting in flannel

and faces dripping with perspiration.

But the blazing sun and the humid

courage of the Britishers. New Zeal

Byng's offensive.
The dense fog amid which the drive
was launched yesterday morning ad-
mittedly was a big handicap for the
attackers, the enemy's defense con-
sisting mainly of howitzers and hid
den machine-gun nests.
On the Southern part OF the battle
