250,O00 MEN
CALLED TO ship
YARDS OF u. S.
Hurley, After Talk with
President, Appeals for
Mechanics.

Following a long conference with
President Wilson yesterday, Edward
N. Hurley. chairman Of the Ship
ping Board, issued a call for a volun-
| teer army of $4,000 to be held in
readiness to meet the demands Of
the shipyards.
Standard wages will be paid and
the men will be considerd part Of
| the military forces of the country.
They will be used to increase the
forces in the building yards as they
are extended; and to help in adopting
| the three-shift system which is con-
templated in all of the yards Of the
country.
Hurley Sends Call.
Mr.. Hurley expects to enroll men
| in automobile factories, piano fac
tories, car plants, and all other in
dustries where there are skilled me-
chanics. It is expected that more
than 80 per cent Of the men will be
past draft age; but those of draft
age will be taken into the service as
the emergency requires, thus COM
ing under the exempt class.
Mr.. Hurley sent to the chairmen Of
the various State councils of defense
the following message, urging them
to start campaign for the volun-
teer army beginning January 20.
I'VE are asking the chairman of
the State councils Of defense to take
steps Immediately to call for volun-
teers for this shipyard army from
| among the skilled, intelligent and pa
triotic workers of their communities.
I'VE want a reserve army of highly
| skilled mechanics, numbering not
less than $4,000 to hold itself in
readiness for any call. The reserve
army established will be drawn upon,
from time to time, by the Federal
agencies when shipbuilders are re-
quired.
During the two-week period, begin
ming January 20, the four-minute men
will explain to their audiences all over
the country what shipbuilding means
to America in this war.
Trained riveters, punchers, ma
chinists, blacksmiths, boilmakers, car
penters, caulkers, millwrights and
other trained men can render no serv-
:, ice more vitality needed than the serv-
ice of the nation In the shipyards. As
gauge for future needs, there were
] approximately $1,000 men employed in
the shipyards of the country six
months ago, while there are about 49,
900 employed now. A volunteer army
Of $4,000 will give assurance that the
situation of the future will be met.
Men Who Are Not Wanted.
'Workmen who are already engaged
in direct government work should re-
main at their posts. Those who are
engaged in work not contributing di-
| rectly to the success Of the war now
have their opportunity to volunteer for
national service. The volunteers who
will constitute the great shipyard re-
serve will receive standard wages and
be considered part of the military
forces Of the United States.
Every rivet driven is a blow at the
Kaiser. Every ship turned out brings
nearer the day of democracy's tri.
umph. A full days work in the yards
is equivalent to the taking OF a Ger
man trench"

D. c. CUTS OFF
80 PER CENT OF
ITS FRESH MEAT.
Shrinks 100000 Pounds
Weekly Despite Influx of
Newcomers.

Washington is doing it's share in
the observance of the less days Of
Mr.. Hoover and food conservation,
particularly meat is taken Sc
riously.
Fresh meat consumption in the
District decreased 80 per cent, or
100000 pounds per week. during the
last three months, according to es-
Inmates made yesterday by large
wholesale meat dealers.
This decrease is based upon the
present population of the city COM
pared with the population previous
to the great influx of government
workers since the beginning of the
war.
10000 Pounds q Week,
Despite the enormous increase in
population here, it is said by deal
ers that fresh meat consumption is
no greater than before the thou
sands of new residents came here.
They estimated the average weekly
consumption Of fresh meats in the
District at approximately 100000
pounds.
There has been no increase in
the amount of beef, sheep or fresh
meats of all descriptions used in
Washington, it Is said.
Dried beans have taken a large
jump in the favor of the city, how
ever. and rice runs a close second.
Canned Vegetables Popular.
Canned vegetables of all kinds
have steadily risen in the amount
consumed, while canned fish have
remained about the same. The
cheapness Of fresh fish is attributed
by dealers as the cause of the lack
of increase in consumption Of can
ned fish.
Canned vegetables have increased
more than SO per cent. every kind
packed in cans showing its share
Of the increase.
The increase in the use of all
foodstuffs has been steadily grow
ing. it is said, with the exception
OF fresh meats.

Hun Bombs Wipe Out
Friends Ambulance
Unit Behind Lines
Correspondence Associated Press.

Havre, Nov. 3.-The headquar-
tiers of the Friends Ambulance unit,
an organization of $50 workers from
all sections of America sent to the
western front by the American So
ciety of Friends, has been almost
completely wiped out by bombs
from German airplanes.
Two of the staff were killed and
four injured. The others were safe.
The story of the disaster is tod
in a report of Major John Van
Schaick, Deputy Commissioner Of
Belgium of the American Red Cross,
of which the Friends Ambulance is
a unit, who says:
az worker whom we placed with
the unit was sleeping in the room
with one of those who was killed.
He was not injured. He described
his experience as follows:
Il was awake when the bomb fell.
I don't remember much noise, only
the motion. The whole room seemed
to lurch back toward where the
bomb fell, and then went down. We
fell fast and seemed to be falling
through all eternity. My life was
saved by my bed shooting across the
room. The cupola OF the adjoining
building fell where my bed stood.
"The adjutant of the unit was
buried under the debris for three
hours. A large oak chest held a
beam off his neck. They had to
tunnel through the debris to get
him out. He was conscious part of
the time, and directed the rescuers
in their work. He was bruised but
not seriously hurt"

Senator G. W. Norris Speaks
Before LARGE Audience

Aurora, Neb., Nov. 3.-(Special
Telegram. I'm a rousing speech
last night, before an audience that
crowded the district courtroom,
United States Senator George w.
Norris declared that if Nebraskans
want a rubber stamp senator they
ought not to re-elect him. "Mr.
Morehead has said in speech and ad-
rertisement he will do Just what
President Wilson wants done in all
things" said the senator. IF you
want a rubber stamp he is your op-
portunity. In two years Wilson will
be out of Office and then where will
Morehead get his orders, from
Roosevelt or from Hitchcock and
Mullen. If I believed as Morehead
does | would introduce a bill at
once to abolish the senate and house
and establish a monarchy at once,
but | believe in the kind of govern
ment established by our fathers, a
government of free speech, free
press, with no coercion anywhere"
Senator Norris said that he had
been maliciously attacked all over
the state, and lies and falsehood
without number had been circulated
against him. The answers behind
these lies, he said, was the hatred
of the profiteers, who knew he was
nghting them to the limit. He de-
clared he had insisted on heavy tax
alton of excess war profits and tina.
thousands of dollars were being
spent by prohteers to defeat him.
In explanation of his dollar mark
on the flag speech, he said he had
been speaking of the prohteer who
wanted war because it made bust
ness good
Senator Norris did not refer d.
rectly to the fight that has been
made against him by Editor Clark
Perkins of the Aurora Republican,
but denoun ced generally what, he
termed the lies and falsehoods of
the press which opposes him. Per-
kins was present in the audience.
