tills morning, and a heavy mist en
abled them to got well started before

mander, which was captured with

the north today, says "that men on
leave liave spoken publicly of a revo
lution which Is to bo inaugurated by
tho German people after the war.
This objectionable talk must be dealt
with by officers without hesitation.
This document is deemed significant
as showing that there is a strong
leaning of many in the army toward
social revolution unmeaiateiy ioi-
lowing the war. Of llclals appear to
- recognize the fact, and orders have
' been' issued for suppression or all
.. such talk.

It is not the purpose of the gov
ernment In this new labor drive to
take men from essential Industries.
However, there Is urgent need of
men at this time In certain depart
ments of ship building. The greatest
need is for laborers in Portland
yards and mechanics for the installa
tion of machinery In tho government
wooden ships launched in the lower
iOlumbia river district, centering
about Astoria. The Installation of ma
chinery Is vital,, for the reason that
some ninety wood hulls are now tied
up In the Columbia river awaiting
final equipment, t In fact, only one
from tho scored of wooden Bhlps
launched In tlio Columbia river has
yet started on a trial trip at sea.
Tlio time has come when tho gov
ernment Is making special effort to
ward the speedy final equipment of
all these wooden ships, and the gerat-
est need Is for mechanics and labor
ers. The government will ndvance

ty being 1000, with ten per cent
added for campaign expense, muklng .

All the money raised in this cam

home. This great work has been
given the endorsement of president
Wilson, Secretary ot Wr Baker,
General Pershing, the state end na

The great war work that Is hulnz
done by the Salvation. Army la be- '

courage than -they have always been
noted for in the great work they
have always carried on In the oause
of suffering ' humanity. There ore
no high salaried officers among the
field workers in the Salvation Army.
Only a mere ilvlng-.salary is paid
from the highest to the lowest of

for the money, but are out for the
great good they can do.

As was stated by Prof. Hammond
this morning the only objection
raised to the , Salvation , Army -In
France Is that they haven't huts
enough. What they do have are sure
ly appreciated by the boys, and the
people of this country are going to
supply the funds far more ot those
