intended to obst.uct tho transfer OF

has been found that one story circu-
lated In the Middle West Is to tho ef-

featuring munitions Is the first step
toward tho battle limo in France" it
being also stated that once registered
a man Will have to go wherevee tho
government wants him. Another story
Is that once with war plant, man
will not be allowed to leave It
These false rumors have caused John
B. Densmore, director-general of tho
United States Employment Service. to
issue the following:
Skilled workmen who accept gov
eminent work arc no more likely to
be sent TO France than any other
civilian.
Except in those cases where men
of draft ago are engaged in occupa-
lions classified by the Secretary OF War
as non-productive' the government has
no intention of interfering with the
fundamental right OF any civilian to
change his work as he sees At. In all
