Great Britain is in urgent need of men for her armies and also for her munitions factories. A statement to this effect was given out today by the Man Power Distribution Board, recently appointed to comb out men aligible for military. service in the United King- dom who have not yet been enrolled in the army. For Armies and Factories. The board reported it had examin- ed officers of the admiralty, war of- fice, ministry of munitions and other departments and that there was ur- gent need of fresh supplies of men for the armies and munition factories in order to maintain our forces in the field at the numbers already fixed for them and at the same time to main- tain the supply of munitions essential for their equipment and proper utili- zation. Curtailing Exemptions. The board, therefore, directed that no exemptions be granted certain classes heretofore exempt and that there be a more general dilution of skilled labor in munitions factorles with women and other workers here- tofore untrained. It suggested con- ferences of employers and employes with a view to freeing skilled labor now engaged in private work for em- ployment in munitions plants. “It is essential” the report says, “that a large part of the labor now engaged in private work shall be di- verted to government orders or released for the army.” Extended Use of Women. The board also has under consider- ation the extended use of women and of men over the military age and also the use of men of military age now employved in government offices This is the only means, the board _ says, whereby extension of the age for the compulsory service can be avoided. No official figures have been given recently as to the number of men serving with the British army. On May 25 King George, in signing the military - service bift--placed the num- beg;,misgfl. up._to_that time at 5,041,- 000, In July, Ausust and September the British casualties were 307,169. “MOTHER” JONES ADDRESSES NEW YORK CARMEN STRIKERS Udges the Men to “Line Up the Wo- { Charles G.
