women Could Carry
Rural NAIL ROUTE.
twenty-five Applications Now
In Before Civil Service
Commission

The women are nowadays taking a
rather important part in the world | IS
affairs and they seem to be willing to
tackle almost any job offered by the
government. That is, judging from the
number of inquiries received at the
postoffice regarding the civil service ex-
animation to he held May 20, for mail
carrier for rural route 3.
Notwithstanding the fact that it has
been announced that rural route 3 is
the hardest one to travel Of the nine
rural routes, already twenty-five wom-
en- have made application to Paul W.
Miller, local secretary of the Civil Ser
vice Commission for information and it
is probable that the crater number will
appear for the examination May 25.
Besides the opening for a new carrier
on the route with the greatest numSer
of hills, the chances are that rural route
l, into Polk county will soon be open
for a new carrier and also one running
out of Turner.
Polk county route number ] RUM to
within a quarter of a mile of Hopewell.
It's route is northwesterly along the
Wallace road to the county line between
Folk and Yamhill counties. 1t then re-
traces to the Four Corners, skirts the
hills around Spring Valley through Zena
returning to Salem by tho way of
Brush college school and the Wallace
road. This is the prettiest scenic route
of the nine and rural route 8, is the
hardest road to travel.
There is now before congress, and in
fact it has already passed the senate,
a bill providing for an increase of 20
pei cent of all postal employees and this
of course includes rural route carriers.
AT present the salary is 800 a month
ana the carrier furnishes the mode of
ira rel, whether auto or horse.
It is not yet too late to call ON Mr..
Miller at the postoffice and put in an
application for the May 25 examination
and the men as well as women are elig-
lble. A few men may try for the job.

Million and Half Tonnage Launched
Since Shipping Board Took

Washington.-Amer shipbuilders
have responded to the shipping boards
urgent demand for speed in produc-
ton. During the week they launched
41,105 tons, making a total Of 1,405,-
900 tons launched since the BULL

$4,000 tons Of completed ships were
delivered during the week.
Three steel ships aggregating 1895
tons and one wooden ship of $500 tons
were launched in one day.
The launchings were divided evenly
between steel and wooden vessels.
One Of the four wooden ships put
into the water during the week, the Ca
ponika, of $500 tons, was launched by
the Grant-Smith,Porter company, OF
Portland, Ore, in SO days from the
time the keel was laid, the shorte It
time ever recorded for launching hull

are the Accoma, $500 tons, Newark.

Washington.-Great Britain, with
quarter million casualties to date
In the western offensive, cried out her
need Of reserves while Germany pre-.
pared to hammer anew on the west
line and in Italy.
In an announcement from the Brit
ish official war mission revelation OF
her tragic losses was made. At the
same time 1t was indicated the Teu-
tons had lost perhaps double that mum.
Der of men.
For England the statement was a
throbbing appeal to relieve the hard
pressed though still determined men,
many of whom have been through the
hell of Flanders without sufficient rest
ing spells.
vowing that Germany will reach the
channel port only "over the bodies OF
the British army" the statement, how
ever, showed very frankly that the
British reserve question is serious.
The British armies, 1t was said, will
undoubtedly be in serious position
unless great reserves are at hand to
meet the renewed Teuton smash.
To America the statement meant
that further cutting of non-essential
shipping must be accomplished, and
that the nation must bend every ounce
of its strength right now to getting its
men across. theoretically the state
meat was another hint to the ship
builders to hasten their tasks.
The statement was particularly sig
nificant when coupled with the day IS
news from abroad-that the German
ia hitting hard at Flanders and before
Amiens, preparatory to hurting more
men against the allies while at the
same time an offensive, apparently
Austrian, is developing in Italy.
Italy has given over her military
fate to the allied commander in Chief
Foch, the Italian embassy announced,
making him literally supreme com
mander of the allies. That Italy will
prove a desperate battle-ground is the
likelihood and the developments there
may relieve somewhat the big smash
now shaping on the west.
The story of the British part in the
offensive will go down doubtless as
one Of the gamest fights by numer-
ieally inferior force in all the annals
of war.
