To MOBILIZE LABOR.
j. B. DENSMORE is NATIONAL Dl.
RECTOR OF EMPLOYMENT
SERVICE
NAMED BY SECRETARY WILSON
New Board Formed at Washington
Will Recruit Workers for Agricui-
ture, Shipbuilding and War
Contract Plants.

Washington, Jan. rehabilitation OF
100000 workers for agriculture, ship
building and war contract plants was
intrusted to the United States employ
ment service by the department OF Ia
Dor.
Tremendous expansion of the serv-
ice is in progress in preparation for
recruiting men necessary to carry on
the economic work in support OF the
military forces in the war Solution
of the labor shortage problem by this
means is confidently proposed by the
department and the cooperating labor
organizations in answer to suggestions
that CONSUMPTION of labor is necessary.
One early result is expected TO De
the placing of 100000 mechanics In
shipbuilding plants to aid in hurrylng
to completion the merchant marine
program.
John s. Densmore of Montana, so
lictor for the department Of labor,
will be national director of the en-
ployment service by appointment OF
Secretary Wilson. He will have as
his assistant Robert Watson OF Mas
sachusetts and Charles Z. Clayton OF
Maryland. Samuel j. Gompers OF New
York, son of the labor leader, will
succeed Mr.. Watson as the depart
ment's chief clerk.
Organization plans of the new serv-
ice were described in an official state
ment, which said, in part:
1.-THE United States employment
service has been divorced from the
bureau of immigration. made sepa-
rate arm Of the department and one OF
the largest and most important war
prosecuting organizations OF the IA
tiona1 government.
Through the utilization of existing
and proposed federal, state and mu-
nicipal employment offices and state
defense councils the federal employ
ment service will cover the entire con-
tinent with a network of inter-related
labor exchanges. These will recruit
and transfer workers from one section
to another and eliminate the present
chaotic situation of a surplus OF work
ers in one region and shortage IN an
other.
'sSupplementing this labor distrlDu-
ton work, the federal service Will Gre
ate a vast reservoir of labor to meet
the increasing demands of the various
war industries.
.'The public service reserve IS ex-
pected to prove a CONSUMPTION OF la
Dor to be unnecessary.

The never-ending desire for some
thing "new" which is a characteristic
of the American people, has its effect
on architecture by bringing into use
in this country the distinguishing char
acteristics of nearly every successful
type of architecture which has ever
been used in any part of the world.
One of the attractive architectural
adaptations which American architects
have brought about is modelled after
the Swiss chalet. The Swiss architec-
ture is usually associated with rugged
landscape. There are various places
in the United States where the sur
roundings are suitable for the adapta-
ton of this style of architecture. Many
country estates in localities where the
topography is characterized by abrupt
changes in elevation with exposed rock
surfaces, where the growth of trees
and other natural features are agree
able, have been planned after the
Swiss style to produce beautiful re-
suits. The house very often is built
on the very edge of an abrupt cliff and
the effect is all the more beautiful if
nature has provided a clear stream
which winds through the estate and
passes at the base Of this cliff.
Occasionally a beauty spot Of this
type is found within the boundaries Of

NATIONS BIG FOOD INDUSTRY
Duties of Holders of Foodstuffs Out
lined by Charles j. Brand,
Chief of Bureau.

Washington, Jan. AL dealers in
substantially greater than family sup
plies should report in the war emer-
gency food survey of the United
States to be made as of January /.
even though they do not receive inquiry
blanks by mail, according to state
ment made here by Charles J. Brand,
chief of the bureau of markets Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, who has the big war inventory in
charge.
1--WE have attempted to send sched-
ules from Washington to each of the
hundreds of thousands of firms and in
dividuals who handle the food supply
of the country, but obviously it has
been physically impossible to reach
them ALL" said Mr.. Brand. "All deal
ers, manufacturers and warehousemen
having any food in their possession
and AL other concerns, such as hotels
and institutions having more than $3.50
worth of food on hand, should arrange
to report their holdings Of December
81, whether schedules have been deliv-
cred to them or not. In case they do
not receive schedules by January 2,
they should write for copies to the bu-
reau Of markets, United States depart
ment of agriculture, at Washington, or
should call at or write to one of the
many branch offices throughout the
country"

HURLEY ASKS CASH FOR SHIPS
Seeks So, 100000 of Congress for Ac-
QUESTION or Establishment OF

OBJECT TO BEING SENT
TO FRANCE.
FOOD SUPPLIES, ARE CUT OFF
Kaiser Hats Conference at Brest-Lit-
ovsk Following Russ Demand to
Transfer Seat of Negotiations
to Stockholm.

London, Jan. S.-An official state
ment issued at Berlin Saturday and
forwarded from Zurich announced that
because of the Russian request TO
transfer the peace conferences from
Brest-Litovsk to Stockholm the cen
trail powers had temporarily suspended
the negotiations with Russia.
The message, which was filed at
Zurich Saturday, said:
Another crown council was held
today at Berlin, which Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and General Won Luz
dendorf attended. After the meeting
this official announcement was issued:
In consequence of the request of
the Russian government to transfer
the seat of negotiations from Brest-
Litovsk to Stockholm, the central pow
ers have temporarily suspended the
negotiations with RUSSIA"
A dispatch received here from the
Russian wireless service says that 25,-
600 German soldiers in the region east
of Kovno have revolted. German de-
serters stated that in consequence of
the government drafting all soldiers
below the age of thirty-five for dis
patch to the western front, the afore-
mentioned number of men rebelled and
marched out of the battle line.
Then they entrenched themselves
with rifles and machine guns against
the other German units. The German
military authorities have been power
less against the revolters and are try
ing to cut off their food supplies.
The German deserters declared that
one Of the motives for the revolt was
that the sending of troops to the west
ern front was a contravention of the
Russo German armistice agreement.

wide clapboards, stained to represent
weathered timber or dark brown, as
preferred. The massive balcony rail
above the wide window opening in
the front wall Of the house is very eff
fective as an adaptation of the origin
al style. The typical chalet has a bal
cony on two sides of the building,
built close up under the caves. Very
often the timbers used in the con-
struction of these balconies were very
deliberately carved. The decks above
the porches of the design illustrated
are intended to add an atmosphere Of
the rustic in the same way that the
balcony is effectively used.
A novel method Of supporting the
roof overhanging the gables consists
Of the only use of exposed timbers
which is found in the design. The prin-
cipal rafters are supported by beams
extending out from the wall Of the
house. Near the center Of these beams
timber is extended parallel to the
wall Of the house, the beams resting
on this timber which is in turn sup
ported by a second set of beams, not
so long as those which support the raf-
tiers. The timber is not as long as the
rafters, but it is stopped short dis
lance beyond the outer beam toward
the top and bottom Of the roof, the
timber ends being cut with simple
ornamental design.
The entrance to the house is on the
side and is through coy little porch
adjoining the reception hall. The re-
ception hall opens into the dining room
on one side through double doors and
on the other side through cased
opening into the living room. The liv-
ing room extends across the front of
the house and is 20 feet by Is feet in
size. In one end of it is brick fire.
place f1anked with two windows which
have book cases built beneath them.
This room is well lighted by the two
windows mentioned and broad triple
window in front.
In the back part of the house is
large living porch which will be es-
pecially appreciated in the summer.
This porch is intended to be fitted
with screens in the summer and storm
sash during the winter. On the Sec
ond floor there are three bedrooms
and a bath. The decks could be very
easily fitted with frames for canvas
coverings which would make them
very much appreciated as sleeping
porches.

Will Be Representative OF British
War Cabinet.

London, Jan 9.-Earl Reading, lord
chief justice, will go to the United
States as direct representative of the
British war cabinet, according to the
Daily Express. While Earl Reading
will have the title of ambassador, pure
" diplomatic matters will be in the
hands of charge d'affaires, the earl
controlling war activities.
Earl Readings work will, according
to the understanding in official circles,
deal mainly with financial and general
business matters, and he will be re-
lieved of the ordinary ambassadorial
functions of handling numerous minor
diplomatic negotiations, which consti-
tute large part of the embassy's
work.

Central Powers Do Not Change
Demands.

Petrograd Jan. 5.--The bOlshevik1
foreign minister, Leon Trotzky, de-
rlared that the government of the Rus
sian workers would not consent to the
German peace proposals.
M TrOtzky's declaration was made
before the central committee of the
council of workmen's and sailors
delegates, during an address in which
he denounced in scathing terms Ger
many's hypocritical peace proposal"
Asserting that the government of
Russian workers would not consent to
such conditions he said that If the
central powers did not agree to free
disposal of the destiny of the Polish
and Lettish nations, it would be urgent
ly necessary to defend the Russian
revolution He said the needs at the
front would be satisfied. whatever eff
forts might be necessary.
Representatives from all the fronts
who attended the meeting declared
the troops would defend the revolu-
ton, but said bread and boots were
necessary.
The Russian peace delegation Off
cially has suggested to the central pow
ers that the meeting place of the peace
delegates be transferred to neutral
soil.
The halt in the negotiations and in
dications of German refusal to re-
move the conference to Stockholm have
revived universal discussion in Petro-
grad of a resumption of fighting, with
a greatly reduced army, probably 3d.

in this way is presented in the ac-
companying perspective view. There
is little of the elaborate ornamentation
which is found on the typical Swiss
chalet. The use of heavy exposed TIM
bers, which is strong feature of this

tanned to secure the rustic appearance
which is necessary if the dwelling is
to carry any resemblance at all to
the basic style.
