PRESIDENTS
STATEMENT

Industry plays as essential and hon
orable q role in this great struggle
as do our military We
all recognize the truth Of this. but we
must also see its necessary implica-
tions-namely. that industry, doing a
vital task for the Nation. must re-
ceive the support and assistance of
the Nation"
Therefore, I soiemniy
urge all employers engaged in war
work TO refrain after August LIST,
1918, from recruiting unskilled labor
in any manner except through this
central agency 1.-THE u. S. Employ
ment Service). I urge labor to re-
spond as loyalty as heretofore to any
calls issued by this agency for volun-
tary enlistment in essential industry.
And ask them both alike to remem-
Der that no sacrifice will have been in
vain, if we are able to prove beyond
all question that the highest and best
form of efficiency is the spontaneous
cooperation Of a free people"

GERMAN AERIAL
ATTACK CAUSES
HOSPITAL LOSS
Captured Aviator Blames Allies For
Building Hospitals Close to
Railroads.
WITH THE BRITISH, May 22.-

WITH THE BRITISH, May %
British hospitals behind the Allied
lines were again heavily bombarded
by German aviators during the
night, the attacks resulting in the
death and injury of more than a
hundred of the inmates, including
several sisters, who remained bravely
at their posts with the other women
nurses.
A German flying captain, who
was taken prisoner by the British
last Sunday, said that attacks on
hospitals by German airmen resulted
from their inability to determine the
identity of the institutions. It is
not the desire of the Germans, he
said, to modest hospitals. But, he
continued, if the Allies persist in
building their hospitals near the rail-
ways, they must expect to have them
bombed.

Drastic Amendment to Selective
Service Regulations Announced
By Crowder.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May o.
Every man of draft age in the United
States must work or fight after the
first of July, under the drastic
amendment to the selective service
regulations, according to an an
nouncement which has been made
by Provost Marshal General Crowder.
After that date, all draft regis
trants engaged in non-useful occu-
pations, will be hailed before their
local boards and given the choice of
a new job or a place in the ranks
of the army.
Among the non-useful occupations
as interpreted by the war depart
ment, are gambling, race track AID
bucket shop work, and fortune tel H.
ing. Walters, bartenders, tieater
ushers, passenger elevator operators
and store clerks are also included,
the war department having reached
the conclusion that women and men
of more mature years can fill such
positions, thus releasing registrants
for war work
Crowder intimates that baseball
players and other sportsmen may be
affected by the new regulations.
He says that he does no: desire to
make specific rulings at this time,
but will do so when cases come to
his attention after the first of July
He says that the present war is a
contest of industries and mechanics.
Germany, he says, is an army in
which every facory loom is recog-
nized part and 1--WE must make our
selves the same sort of an effective
machine"
