vately owned office buildings in
i Washington are required to house
the officials and clerks of this force,
in addition to the usual quarters in
the State, War and Navy buildings,
which were sufficient before Uncle
Sam began to prepare for war. The
Gun division alone, which did not
exist as a separate division before
we entered the war, now has more
than two thousand civilian employ
ees DesJues about three hundred
commissioned officers, and it is es
timated that this division will be
a year. The great manufacturing
' plants of the Ordnance department
in various parts of the country em
ployed about 10,000 men last spring.
Now 20,000 are at work in these es
tablishments. The task of supplying these thous
ands of workers in the face of the
greatest demand for labor the coun
try has ever known is the problem
of the United States Civil Service
Commission. At this time great
numbers of men and women are
needed to fill stenographic and oth

boards of civil service examiners at
