fighting line.
The work or fight" rule at once,
therefore, became a reality, for men
were sent back from the army to the
factories only so long as they could
serve better there than in the ranks.
If their work proved unsatisfactory,
they were promptly returned to their
places yin the battle line.
France has now found a reservoir
of unskilled labor among the German
prisoners. They are used for heavy
work, and Chinese and Senegalcsc
workers have been imported for sup
plying other labor needs. Women
have shown remarkable adaptability
in the skilled trades, and do some
really remarkable work in the NUM-
tons factories, particularly on shells.
The supply of male skilled labor OF
military age, however, can only be in
creased by request to the ministry of
munitions for the services of men at
the front In many factories wounded
soldiers have been employed advanta-
geously on certain work. In practice
the rule is that men are not returned
to munitions factories unless they
have passed their thirty-hfth birthday
or have served two full years in the
army.
ut is not often necessary to send
men back from the factories" says
Lieut. Rerthier. THE war is a fact
to every man and woman in France.
We shall have TO stop and think what
we shall do when the war is ended.
Everyone works for the war.
Think what it means that we have
made guns to enable America to enter
the fighting line earlier than she could
have done! Think of the land, the
