MILLIONS ARE WILLING

Millions of Americans have been wait ing merely to be told what service they can render. Trained men can render no
 service more vitally needed than the service of the nation in the shipyards. As a gauge of future needs there were approximately 50,0Oo men employed in shipyards six months ago, while today there are about 145.O00. A volunteer army of 250.000 men, held in reserve, each man ready to put his whole heart into the work when called, will give assurance that the situation of the future will be met
 Every skilled workman who volunteers must feel that he has joined the mili- tary forces of America. A full day s work in the yards is equivalent to talk ing a German trench. Employers can be most helpful in facilitating the re- lease of skilled workmen who desire to volunteer for the reserve. With re- serve of 2o000 We will be ready for every need

lieve that at the close of the war, we

movements of immigration to the
Northwest in the history of the coun-

years before we reach normal prices
of foodstuffs, as it will require many
years of reconstruction, to place the
world in normal condition and during

Each day that labor is unemploy-

Every man not employed is either
a public charge or an idle producing
unit, and since it is certain that a

time, public works should absorb la
