REQUEST OF THE SURGEON
GENERAL.

Realizing that there are many
thousands of women in this country
| who, stimulated by patriotic motives,
are earnestly desirous of an oppor-
Unity to serve in this emergency,
desire to point out that one of the
highest types of service is in assist
ing in the care of the sick and the
wounded.
"The way is now open for such
service An Army School of Nursing.
under the direction of the Army
Medical Department, has been ere
ated, and branch training schools will
be established in miny of the military
hospitals in the United States. 1t is
proposed to admit young women be-
tween the ages of Is and 35 years who
have advantage of high school edu-
cation or its equivalent. The training
will be similar to that given in the
best hospital training schools. This
not only offers an excellent training
but also the opportunity of service
which is so earnestly sought by the
women of the country
Members of the Woman's Com
mittee, Council of National Defense,
can render valuable assistance by
using their influence in enrolling as
many as possible for this line of
work. No type of service is of more
importa nee at this time. The need
is urgent.
"W. C. GORGAS,
Surgeon General, United States
Army"
Nurses Are Needed.
1t has been apparent for some time
that a large increase in the nursing
force of the country will be neces-
sary if our army and navy, as well
as our civil population, are to be
cared for properly. The above state
ment from the surgeon general of the
army informs, our women of the urg-
ent need for army nurses, and tells
them the means which the War De-
partment is using to train those who
answer this call. There are thou
sands of young women in the country
ready and anxious to be of assistance
in this emergency.
The proposed establishment of an
Army School of Nursing, with branch
training schools in various selected
hospitals throughout the
United States, will make it immedi-
ately possible for young women to
enter upot service in the various
hospitals.
While caring for the sick and
wou lded soldiers, women who enter
this school will be enrolled in classes
which will lead to a diploma in nurs-
ing should the military hospitals con-
tinue in operation for the full period
of the three-year course. Should the
cessation of hostilities occur before
the completion of this period, GER
tifcate will be issued emitting the
holder to credit in civil hospital for
the branches in nursing successfully
completed and the terms of service in
the Army School of Nursing. This
appeal for army nurses is immediate
and urgent. 1t should meet with
prompt response.

CREATED ARMY OF WORKERS
Men Employed in United
States Shipyards.

Less than year ago there were not
$4,000 men employed in American
shipyards. Today there are more than
100000 skilled mechanics and laborers
engaged in building ships and 100000
more employed in making the engines,
boilers, winches and other machinery
necessary to equip them.
This tremendous expansion by
which the United States hopes to put
into service new merchant marine
that will rival the trading fleet of any
nation in the world has been accom-
plished in methodical fashion, without
any "fuss and feathers" but achieving
result that industry long will regard
as one of the most brilliant victories
of the war. 1t has been brought about
by the shipping board through recog-
milton Of the principle that unframed
men can become skilled workmen only
through competent instruction One Of
the first tasks Of the shipping board
therefore was the creation of divi-
sion Of education and training, which
has supervised the establishment of
training centers and the development
of instructors among the foremen and
superintendent.

Their Patriotic Attitude Recou-
nized as Great Aid in
Winning the War.
HAD MUCH Effect IN EUROPE
Chicago Newspaper Acknowledges the
"Statesmanly Achievement" of the
Workers-Have Never Been Con-

Labor Wins Praise,

The common.sense attitude adopted
by American labor respecting parleys
with German labor seems to have had
Its effect upon the French Socialists.
An important section headed by the
redoubtable Albert Thomas has ex-
pressed itself in accord with the views
Of our labor committees. We have rea-
son to believe the visit of these repre-
sentatives Of American labor's prag-
matte policy has done much to
strengthen British and French labor
war policy.
This service should be added to the
considerable list credited to American
organized labor in the world war. We
have had our bolshevih and our pro-
Germans, but organized labor as repre-
sented-by ths-leaders-ef- tAs Rae,s. e ess Il
Federation of Labor has stood four
square on the great basic issues Of the
conflict, has never been confused or
led astray, and has kept the feet of la
Dor firmly on the ground. This has
been statesmanly achievement
worthy Of the recognition Of all Ameri-
cans and of our allies. The war might
well have been lost without it.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

British Labor Leaders Pleased.

Eight labor members of the British
government have issued a manifesto In
which they say influence exercised by
labor in the councils of the nation
since the war began, has been unprece-
denied.
The men signing the manifesto are
George M. Barnes, minister without
portfolio In the war cabinet; John
Hodge, minister Of pensions; G. 81.
Roberts, minister of labor; William
Brace, parliamentary undersecretary
for home affairs; John r. Clynes, par
liamentary secretary to the food min
lstry; Stephen Walsh, parliamentary
secretary to the local government
board; George J. Wardle, parliament
tary secretary to the board Of trade,
and James Parker.
The labor leaders say that in the
last three years greater measures Of
democratic reform have been adopted
than in any previous time in the his
tory Of the country.

MUST USE LESS SUGAR;
ALLIED NEEDS GROW
Americans Asked to Use No More Than
Two Pounds Per Person
Per Month.
Shortage May Last Until Beginning of 1919,
When New Sugar Crop Arrives.

After making careful survey Of the
world sugar situation the q. s. Food
Administration has asked the Ameri-
can public to USE NO MORE THAN
TWO POUNDS OF SUGAR PER PER-
SON A MONTH until January 1. 1919.
Increased sugar demands from the
Allied nations-where the present sug-
ar ration is already reduced to the
lowest possible level-and the need of
keeping our army and navy supplied
are two Of the leading causes of the
eurtailment Of Americas sugar ration.
Americans are requested to make
two pounds Of sugar per person (half
pound weekly serve for all sugar
uses In the Notwithstanding cook
ing and all sugar served at the table.
Public eating places, as well as
housewives, will be required to limit
their use Of sugar to two pounds for
every ninety meals served. In the
q. s. Food Administrations cafeteria
at Washington, where employees of the
Food Administration take their noon
meal, one pound of sugar Is used for
every 100 meals served.
The u. s. Food Administration is
confident that the American public will
heartily agree to reduce household use
Of sugar here to level more nearly
equal to the present restrictions
among the Allied nations.
The situation which the United
States faces in its efforts to maintain
fair distribution Of sugar to the Al
lied world 10 as follows;

Apportionins umskilled Workers.

Approximation of the common labor
requirement of the war industries of
the country for the next three months
and of the common labor reserves in
each state available for war work has
been started by the employment serv-
ice division Of the department Of la
Dor.
With these estimates as basis the
employment service will allot to each
state the quotas of unskilled workers
to be furnished.
With August / as the date when
Independent recruiting Of labor will
stop, the employment service, 1t was
stated, expects to have the state quo
tas completed by the middle Of July,

The sugar supplies throughout the
country, in homes, stores, factories and
bakeries. are at low ebb; the produc-
ton from the American beet and
Louisiana cane crops have been disap-
pointing; the yield In Porto Rico has
likewise been smaller than anticipat-
ed, and the Inability of the United
States and the Allies to secure sugar
from Java and other distant sources
on account of the Imperative call for
ships for the movement of troops and
their supplies has materially reduced
the supply from such quarters. Added
to this already difficult situation, the
quantity needed by the Army and
Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti-
mates; we must send large amount
to France and Italy to take the place
Of the great volume lost through the
German and Austrian invasions, dur.
Ing which much beet land was over
run and many factories destroyed; we
have to supply certain quantities to
neutral nations under agreements; and
finally over fifty million pounds were
lost recently through submarine sink
Ings off our Atlantic coast.
The Food Administration is conf
dent that the American people, with
the record of wheat savings behind it,
having by voluntary savings sent 140,-
100000 bushels Of wheat to the Allies
after practically every bushel had been
exhausted from our normal surplus,
will with the same spirit save the
sugar situation Of the world.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A Gard System for Workers.

Beginning July l, every worker seek
ing employment in the industries of
New Jersey is required to pre-
sent a card from the state, federal
and municipal employment bureau,
showing where he was last employed
and for what reason his employment
ceased. This is one Of the features of
a plan by which New Jersey hopes to
solve the problem of the shortage Of
labor in all industries incident to the
war. The object of the card system,
which all the manufacturers of the
state will be asked to strictly observe,
is to do away with the large number
Of floating workers who have been In
the practice of working day, or q
few days, in one plant, only to then
look for a job in another plant.

VIII Admit Mexican Labor.

Secretary Of Labor Wilson has let
down the bars to immigration from
Mexico. In departmental order ex-
emptions are allowed from the head
tax, literacy test and contract-labor
provision imposed by previous regu-
lations.
In statement announcing the order
Secretary Wilson says the decision to
permit the entry into the United
States of illiterates and other Mexi-
cans formerly not admissible, was
reached in order to assist in meeting
the present shortage Of unskilled
labor. Labor imported under this rule
can be used only In agricultural pur-
suits, railroad section maintenance
and Ignite coal mining.
The order will be revoked when the
present emergency has passed and the
men imported will be required to re-
turn to their own country.

The New York subway strike has
been settled. The men who were en-

mission have adopted policy Of tax.

is acceptable to the contractors. In.

that settlement had been reached,

question Of the closed shop had been
raised by the men and was one of the
conditions Of the settlement.

Learn to Get Along Without Sugar

It has been done before. A hundred years ago
fined sugar unknown Our ancestors used honey and
you use honey also. Besides there syrups. The
natural sugars of fruits will today they did
turtles ago. You will get all the sugar you need in this
way. The Allies do it now. England which before the
used more sugar than we did, has but two pounds
per head month now; France one and half pounds
and Italy only Show yourself patriotic American
and less than your ration This is but slight sacr
fee compared with all that the Allies doing. Do it
yourself.
