A Duty for Every Man.

Secretary Of War Newton D. Baker
has just wired this Office as follows;
The number Of men that we can place
and maintain in France will depend
upon the number of ships available for
their transport and their supplies.
For that reason | want to ask the
friends and families of the:men in the
National army to lend their support in
every way to the Shipping Board to
the end that the necessary efficient
labor may be enrolled in the United
States Shipyard Volunteers. They are
doing q work Of vital importance to the
defence of the Nation, and the men
who enroll in the Shipyards are under
taking patriotic service as great as
any that can be performed behind the
firing line.,,
The above message from the Secre-
tary Of War is so plain as to render
comment unnecessary. The work of
getting men for the shipysrds has been
given the right Of way over ell other
war industries, and it is hoped that
everyone will do his full duty and
assist in securing a full enrolment
