American troops are armed with
a faster firing and more accurate
rifle than used by the the Germans,
according to cur Expert designers
manufacturers, and marksmen, says a
statement by the Bureau Of Ordnance
Ono military critic and writer claims
the German Mauser does not permit
the most skilled user to get more
than 50 per cent Of the firing speed OF
the modified Enfield adopted for the
United States service.
The superiority claimed for the
American weapon is supported on
three counts: Quicker firing as a re-
suit Of bolt-handle design, easier and
quicker sighting as result Of sight
design greater accuracy of bullet
fight resulting from bullet design and
greater mechanical accuracy of cham
Der and bore.

FARM LABOR BUREANu

Even in these strenuous times eve

Dor service which will be intended to
assist in placing farm labor where it
is most needed The fourth class post
Offices will be employment bureaus
along with the government service
stations and together these agencies
hope to serve labor where it is most
needed.
Where one special industry and
farm crop is out and the rush over,
the labor can thus be shifted with
some certainty TO another section
where is a rush In this manner il
would be possible to shift to the peach
belt and away as the work is done.
And so the government service may
help after all
A special farm-service division is
being established in most of the 100
Offices of the United States Employ
ment Service as one of the plans for
meeting the labor requirements Of the
farmers. Special field agents are be
ing sent into districts where acute
unusually large numbers will he
needed
A weekly bulletin will be issued in
which opportunities for farm employ
ment and the needs of certain dis
tricts will be listed. Posters announc-
ing the location of Federal and State
employment Offices are being hung
in post Offices, railway stations, and
LlllSI puDllC Didteh'
All third and fourth class post of
ices, of which there are $4,000, are
now authorized farmrlabor employ
ment Offices During the harvest sea
ION in certain States temporary
offices will be opened in a number of
cities for the purpose of furnishing
accurate information as to where
harvest hands are needed.
A weekly report Of farm-labor con
ditions is being sent to the main
office at Washington by all the branch
flices and by many State employ
ment Offices.
