Turkey and Bulgaria were both
given to understand that if they went
into this war along with Germany
and Austria, victory would be certain
and then the countries allied with
Germany would share in the spoils.
Turkey and Bulgaria would each be
rewarded with a large slice Of terri
tory; and each would become a'much
greater nation with greatly enlarged
sphere OF influence This was the

The scarcity OF unskiiled labor II

OF the population. AS II is not de-
sired to interfere with farm work
the proportion to be recruited will be
greater than this In most of the towns
and cities, and smaller Ia the rural
districts The divsun of the quota
among the different communities rests
with the state director of the public
service reserve.
Retail. trade, domestic service. and
many branches OF manufacture vial
share in releasing men for war work.
This can be done voluntarily now.
Herbert r. Carter, of Alexandr "A.
federal state director. says:
The United States has undertaken
a colossal task. The shipbuilding pro-
gram is by itself sufficient to put a
strain on our resources. The United
States is to have an army OF 5000 600
men. and this army must have MUM
abundance. We must provide food.
not only for this great army but for
millions of Europe's population be-
sides
I'm order TO accomplish ell this we
shall be obliged to make radical
changes In our way of living. The
draft age will be extended, probably
TO between eighteen and forty-five,
and this draft. like the earlier one,
will draw many men from the farms
and other necessary lines of work.
The work or night order. when
applied to all men between eighteen
and forty-nve, will help the situation
by putting Q stop to most OF the
idling of which we have had to COM
plain among certain sections. of the
population. But even making allow
ance for this. we shall be forced TO
make very real sacrifices
II appeal to business men and EN-
ployers throughout the state to make
their arrangements promptly so that
we NAV provide the quota of $3.50
men without delay.
We must remember that by max
ing a supreme effort for the next few
months we may save ourselves from
years of sacrifice and misery.
Names of employers and laborers
who will help towards filing Vir-
ginias quota should be sent to ME as
soon as possible. Men who volunteer
will not be required to leave Virginia
They will probably receive deferred
classification In the new draft owing
TO the essential character of the work
in which they will be engaged"

Sayre and Hagelbarger experienced
an unusually arduous voyage, owing
to the phenomenally unfavorable ice

two days their ship. the Dora. was
seriously hampered by the ice foes

their work before winter shuts in
