139, 900 Laborers Wanted at Once for
Munition Plants.

| lawn AsOu6S, WV ~ "a maps
the most urgent call yet made
upon the nation and upon Louisi-
ana was received in kilograms
by John Marshall, secretary of
the State Council of Defense,
this morning from Franklin X.
Lane, chairman of the Field Di-
vision of the Council of National
Defense, and from Nathan A.
lSmyth, Assistant Director Gen.
eral of the United States EN-
ployment Service. calling for one
hundred and thirty-nine thous-
and unskilled laborers for imme-
diate service in munition plants
in the United States. Mr.. Lanes
telegram follows:
"A stock of high explosive
shells imperatively needed in
France has been destroyed and
the flow of these supplies has
been retarded not only for the
present moment, but for months
to come unless immediate relief
is provided. This loss must be
made up at once by putting addi-
tional burdens on all other Ameri-
can munition plants. Within
til: next forty-eight hours the
number of men to be supplied
from your State will be wired by
the United States Employment
Service to its Federal State Dir
rector. Please issue the neces-
sary notices to your State, parish
and community Councils of De-
Tense to put their entire influence
behind the employment service
in this emergency. This call for
men must be met, but there
should be no difficulty in getting|
these men. The work is danger
Gus, but that willn0t deter anyl
one for it is unthinkable that any
man in this country would hold
back from doing work which the
women of England and France
long have carried on. When this
problem is placed before the
American people public opinion1
will be solidly behind the en-
ploymeutservice and community
labor boards in this emergency"
The telegram of Mr.. Smyth is
as follows:
Americas biggest shell load
ing plant is gone. There are
other plants in operation, still
others under construction. Work
at all is seriously retarded by
lack of labor. The Ordnance De-
partment states immediate labor
shortage in existing munition
plants one hundred thirty-nine
thousand unskilled laborers, even
greater numbers needed for army
construction projects. The only
way to make good the loss in
shells and to absorb the shock so
that it shall not injure PERISH
ing's men is to fill this labor
shortage at once. In view of
these facts a real location of to-
tai labor demands among the
States will be made at once.
The requirements in your State
will tax your utmost Efforts
they can be filled only by getting
men from non-essentials. Com
munity labor boards must expe-
dite combing non-essentials and
replacing men by women. Make
clear to people of your State their
duty in the emergency. Ele-
ment of risk in shell loading
plants will deter no real man or
woman. Americans are not
afraid either in the trenches or
at posts of danger at home"

the entire headquarters force Of
the State Council are working

Purchase Over $4,000 Of
Liberty Bonds

C0lfaX ABOUT 4:S0 O'CLOCK IN the
afternoon of Sunday, Oct. 6, anc
remained about two hours, going
on to Pineville from here.
In charge of the train was Mr..

Deputy Gov. Hopes, of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank, Dallas, Texas,
Gov. Hopes, Rev. E. A. Man.
ners and two of the soldier boys
left the train at Natchitoches
and went to Cloutierville to speak
in behalf of the Liberty Loan al
that place. They rejoined the
train at Colfax. Coy. Hopes re.
turning to Shreveport on the
evening train.
A large crowd of Grant parish
citizens met the train here and
were addressed by the following
speakers. Hon. Cone johnson,
Tyler, Texas; j. l. Hopkins, Pal
estine, Texas; Judge N. W.
Gore. Idabel. Oklahoma; Judge
B. F. Cathay, Quitman. Texas.
Mr.. R. Bedichek. Austin, Texas,
in charge of publicity for the
train, was also among those aid
ing the success of the enterprise.
A great deal of interest and
enthusiasm was shown by those
present and when subscriptions
to the Fourth Liberty Loan were
called for they came with such a
rush that three clerks could hard
ly put down the names and
amounts subscribed fast enough.
One of the speakers said he
expected to get SIS, 600 subscrip-
tons out of such a fine crowd.
AS a matter of fact the crowd
subscribed over ten times SIS. 600.
three or. -four persons subscrib-
ing $1,000. and the total SUBJ
scriptions footing up about $751;
Coo. Tie amour. subscribed ny
Colfax citizens was $37, $50, thus
almost reaching her $40, 600 al
lotment in a few minutes. As
there are three or four liberal
Colfax citizens who can be count
ed on to subscribe $1,000 or more
each. the prospect of going over
the top is assured. Also we learn
iaai Farmount, Dry Prong. YER
ia. aAu oCDer points give assuI-
ance of going over the top before
the drive closes.
Among those present who SUBJ
scribed were a number of per-
sons from Fairmount, Aloha,
Montgomery, Dry Prong, and
other points, and the amounts
subscribed by them have yet to
be apportioned.
Among the interesting charac-
tiers accompanying the train are
four wounded soldiers, returned
from the front, who are still do
ing their bit to help their CON-
rades 10 the fight against the
Kaiser's mlnlons. They are as
follows:
Francois Kerjeans, a French
marine, who has spent fourteen
years in the service, and was
wounded and permanently dis
abled in the great Serbian cam
paign. He wears two medals
for distinguished service iii Mo-
rocco, and also The Cross OF the
Legion of Honor for saving the
lives of two Americans.
0. Sam Mae Johnson, another
French soldier. was permanently
disabled in the Serbian campaign
and suffers from fever now from
long exposure. He was born in
San Francisco, but was taken to
France by his parents when a
small boy and his home is now in
Algeria. He also wears the cross
of the Legion of Honor.
