Need Of Trained Men.
Washington, D. g., April o.
How many of US realize what
would become of our forces in
France if the organization at
home for producing the material
of war should fail? Charging
armies and laundering battle
ships are easy to visualize, but
not so easy to accomplish. There
can be no going "over the top, "
no paralyzing broadsides, unless,
to sustain the blow, there IS ma
teriaI in abundance to back up
the human effort.
Right now the civilian branch
es Of the army and navy are IN
urgent need of thousands of high

ment of the army needs great

as mechanical engineers, mechan'
ical and other kinds Of drafts

the like. Literally thousands o1
inspectors are also wanted fol
the work of passing upon the
quality of everything conceivable
in the way of ordnance, ammun'
ition, and other munitions. Fol
Office work the Ordnance depart
ment wants a great many stats
ticiars, accountants. experts anC
assistants in business administra.

ial lines. such as clerks qualified
in business administration, index

qualified in statistics or account
ing. The Quartermaster Corps
of the army is in need Of several
thousand examiners and inspect
ors of everything that enters into
the personal and camp equipment

oKLAHoMA'S DoMELESS CAPITOL.

TIE OKLAEOMAN (of Oklahoma City, Okla,
appears to be seriously concerned because the
great and glorious state OF Oklahoma has Cap
iol and the Capitol has no dome. 1t is but natural, OF
course, that The Oklahoman should peeve this
deficiency since it inhabis space comparatively close
to the dumpy- looking edce wherein Oklahoma laws
are made and mangled and gubernatoral gyratons
have their innings.
Surely it must be positive peever for The Okla
homan, which has for itself most handsome building
to look from its upper windows down upon the squat
structure sitting in the midst OF corniied, where
il has been insnuatcd, sometimes the corn grows so
high that the statesmen from the Semi-serle and
therefore maizeless "No Mans Land" OF our western
extension have 10 climb the stalks TO find the building
in which the legislature sits.
Our State Capitol is an excellent start toward
stately ediiice, The groundwork is beyond adverse
criticism In fact up to the present Hat roof which
might make pasabe roof garden but for the bone dry
law, the CAPITOL is what may term an elegant ediiice
if his vocabulary happens to be aweared. We admit
freely that we see the making OF a magnificent castle
OF the commonwealth in what the Capitol builders
have started and when it gets its helmet, or tin hat
or DOME or whatever it is that to be lacking,
every OF will point with pride to our state
community structure and say to the builders, "WeI,
lone-go and sin more!
But the doming of the Capitol. while admittedly
desirable from the viewpoints o architecture eSthctcs
and the artistic temperament OF The Oklahoman edi-
toral writer, afford to wait upon certain other
improvements which are nearly vital There IS,
for instance, the incoming forthcoming governor
proposition vote $S0O00OOO in bonds Tor the con
,trucon OF good roads in Oklahoma.
Without good roads, how is one going to get TO
The Capitol and selfcongratulate ones self upon beng
a citizen OF a state with domed Capitol? For the
immediate present, at any rate the State Capitol is
safe from shrapne without its lin hat, for there IS
going TO be a change OF administration in a few weeks
and the enemy OF the Bob Williams regime has entered
into an armstice and quit brickbating the unprotected
executive office.
Let's talk good roads first and capitollstic domes
next.
