PRESIDENT CARRIES
FIGHT TO PACIFIC

night, but many saw the President
at small stations. where he almost
always came out to wave his hand.
as II anxious not to disappoint any
gathering, however small. During
the night the Presidents special
crossed the Cascade range. The
scenery was keenly appreciated by
members Of the party.
RseeIving Many GiftA
Mrs. Wilson Is receiving 80 many
gifts that the perishables are dis
tributed through the train with her
compliments. A huge box Of candy
was thus disposed of last evening.
The size and enthusiasm OF the
crowd which met the Presidents
train At Pasco late last night impelled
him, he said, 20 make q rear plat
form speech there, although his ply
sieian had fardered him to save his
voice Wilson said he could not re-
frain, from telling the people how
much eheered and delighted he was
70 see them, and he said he took the
liberty Of interpreting their welcome
not only as a tribute to the President,
but as an expression Of your in
terest in the great cause for which
came out 70 fight"
The war, he said, will not be ended
until Americas pledges have been
fulfilled. He mentioned the suffer-
ings Of women, mothers, and wives in
the war and said:
I'VE promised the men who went
out to tight that we would end war" !"
Now the question Is, he declared,
'shall we carry out the pledge for
which we fought?'
He said he felt much touched that
50 many had come to meet '-me even
though IL il is night and we cannot
see each other clearly.
When the President asked: "Shall
we carry the pledgeT' an old man
dimly visible in the glow from the
lights In President Wilson's car waved
his hat and cried: Yes, sir, sure"

When President Wilson stopped
speaking, there was a pause which
ended by his telling a story about a
friend who played golf and always ex-
claimed "Assouan, Assouan" when
something went wrong. Wilson said
he asked what "Assouan" meant, and
his friend explained. why don't you
know Assouan is the biggest dam in
the world? There were shouts of
laughter at this and President viii
son added: "I hear they are building
a dam down South to be called after
me, but I'm glad it's not the biggest
would like to be sworn by, but not
that way"
The crowd laughed again, and then
the President engaged In repartee
with several old codEers. He asked
about the weather, and one man said
they didn't need rain to grow crops
there.
"Its a dandy country" remarked
President Wilson.
Yes" said the man, I'VE have to
have a lot OF grit to live here"

NAVY YARDS EMPLOY

NJ
Substantial evidence of the exnan.
sion Of the war organization behind
the actual fighting forces s fonnd in
the fact that the number of mechau-
les, laborers and other civilian eno-
ployees at navy yards and naval
stations in the United States in
creased from about 10000 to more
than 100 900 during the nineteen
months of Amer cas- participation in
the conflict: This civilian force was
recruited through the machinery Of
the United States Civil Serv ce Com
mission. In his annual report re-
Gently issued, the Secretary of the
Navy paid the following tribute to
the efficacy of the civil service
system:
Under the law all navy-yard
workmen must be recruited through
the civil service, and the department
desires to express it's qualification
and appreciation of the manner in
which the Civil Service Commission
met the emergency and by the crea-
ton OF almost a new organizat on
and the fearless cutting of all need
less red tape has done all that was
humanity possible to meet the Navy's
demands in the shortest practical
time"
AS soon as the war was declared
the Civil Service Comm ssion made
an arrangement with the Navy De-
partment to instruct the responsible
officers at navy yards and naval
stations to make daily report to the
department by telegraph of their re-
spective needs. The telegraphic re-
ports from the several sources were
collected in the Navy Department
and transmitted daily to the Civil
Service Commission.
The Commission IN turn, each
week, or more frequently when nee
essary, mailed a compilation of these
specified needs to each of its three
thousand district and local boards
All these representa- YES were in
structed to use every proper effort
to locate men with the qualifications
desired who were willing and able tc
accept Government employment
The district and local boards dis.
terminated the information by sending
notices to local newspapers, by en-.
listing the aid of local trade-unions
and by directly approaching indiv d.
uals when there was opportunity fol
personal interview.
In all this effort, however, care
