BRITISH TO RE
CRUIT A HUGE
EBER MORE
Mm
HALF MILLION MEN TO BE AD
DED AT ONCE TO THE
ENTENTE FORCES.
HOPE THUS TO SAVE THE DAY
England Outlines Plan to Draw Men
from War Industries Until U.
S. Can Get Men Over.
Ixnulon. Jan. 14. Nearly half a
million men from Great Britain alone
are to be recruited into the British
array at the earliest date possible
and it is probable that more will be
added to that numbef in the coming
months.
These will comprise the younger
men who up to the present -have
been exempt because of their em
ployment in industries essential to
the war services.
CaU Skilled Workers.
This announcement was made in
the house of commons today by Sir
Auckland Gcddes, minister of na
tional service, whose statement of
the government's manpower propos
als are replete with interesting de
tails of Britain's strength in the
struggle into which she means to
throw her full resources.
The minister set forth the status
and needs of the British fighting
and munitioning forces and the
measures the government is taking
after agreement with most of the
labor leaders for recruitment from
the clarses of skilled workers who
were promised exemption when con
scription was adopted.
The empire has enrolled 7,500,000
lighting and labor battalion forces
during the war, according to the
statement of the minister, and now
has more than 4,000,000 enrolled
but reeds more men to hold its own
:;gai;u-t the enemy until the Ameri
can strength is available.
Praise Women's Work.
He praised the spirit in which the
labor leaders have met the govern
ment. but regretted that the Amal
gamat'jd tocicty of engineers had
remained outside the conference,
adding however that the invitation
PUBLIC AUCTION!
was still open to the members of
this society. He paid warm tribute
to the work of the women.
He declared that nothing could
be more misleading than the sugges
tion that the manpower problem
could be solved by a dramatic
stroke. It was the central problem
of the war.
"It means everything," he said,
"ships, armies, munitions, foo'd,
light, heat and coal. At the moment,
the most anxious problem Is not the
supply of men for the army. But
we have to take steps against the
time when it will be a time, which,
I believe is not far distant."
Going into the details of the sit
uation, the minister said in part:
"The plain facts do not support
the statement that the armies are
melting for lack of recruits and that
recruiting has broken down.
Allies Have Advantage.
"The government has eiamined in
detail the position of the allies on
the eastern front and the results are
not unsatisfactory. Excluding Rus
sia and Roumania, the allies have a
substantial superiority in fighting
and ration strength over the central
powers. From a statistical stand
point the strength of the enemy
gives no cause for anxiety.
"The withdrawal of Russia means
that not less than 1,600,000 men will
be made available on the western
front. Notwithstanding Russia's de
fection, the resources of the allies
and America are sufficient to assure
victory, and nothing but a psycho
logical catastrophe can save the cen
tral powers.
"Every day the hitting force of
Britain becomes of greater impor
tance to the alliance. Russia no long
er strikes for freedom; France has
poured her strength in the struggle
and cannot sustain the full burden
indefinitely; America is not yet in
the field and months must elapse be
fore she can advance with a full
stride; Italy has suffered grave mis
fortunes. "On Britain and on the skill with
which she handles her manpower in
the months to come everything de
pends." Discussing the age question, he
said that the Germans were using
boys of IS on the Russian front and
that Austria has raised the limit to
55 years. Analyzing the enemy's
strength, he declared that the Ger
mans would be able to withdraw
050,000 men from the eastern front
and the Austrians would be able to
release enough to make the total
1,600,000.
The minister declared that it
would be necessary to raise in this
country at once from 420,000 to
450,000 men from civil life as an ab
solute minimum.
More might be necessary during
the coming year. He added that the

the present, nor change the military
age limit in Great Britain and the
colonies.
Three possibilities for increasing
the army, said the minister, had been
considered.
First, lowering of the military
age. The Germans were taking boys
of 17, but lowering the age below IS
was contrary to natural instincts and
economically unsound, and the fight
ing value of the average youth of
18 was not commensurate with his
value in civil life.
Second, raising the age limit. Eco
nomically this was less objection
able. Austria-Hungary had raised
the age to 55 years while the British
limit was practically 43. But the
fighting value and staying power of
a man of 45 was less than of a man
of 25. The "government felt stronir-
ly that it would be contrary to na
tional interests to raise the age lim
it, while there were notoriously large
numbers of younger men fit for ser
vice.
Third, compulsion for Ireland. The
overnment had considered the vexed
question carefully and was satisfied
that the reasons which excluded Ire
land from the first compulsory act
had lost none of their potency.
The government had determined.
however, to. take a large number of
young men engaged in essential in
dustries and also to take steps to
maintain the industries after the
young men were withdrawn. More
than 1,000,000 men were now ex
empted on occupational grounds.
The government had divided the es
sential industries, roughly, into
three classes. From the first it would
take no men; from the second about
half of the fit men and from the third
class about one-third.

London, Jan. 14. A successful
daylight air raid has been made on
Karlsruhe, according to. a British of
ficial communication issued tonight.
The text of the statement says:
"Today our squadrons carried out
a most successful raid into Germany
in broad daylight, their objectives
being the railway station and muni
tion factories at Karlsruhe. One and
a quarter tons of bombs were
dropped. Bursts were observed on
buildings and sidings of the main
tailway junction in the center of the
town on railway workships and a
smaller junction in the town.
"Observers report that a very large
fire was started in factories along
side the railway, which was confirm
ed by photographs.
"The antiaircraft fire was very
heavy an daccurate, and several hos
tile machines vainly attacked our
formation. All our airplanes reach
ed their objectives and returned
safely.
"Bombings and attacks with ma
chine gunfire from low altitudes
were carried out incessantly Sun
day. More than 400 bombs were
dropped on a large ammunition dump
near Roulers and on hostile billets,
hutments and railway junctions. A
party of the enemy, engaged in ex
tinguishing a large fire, attacked by
machine gunfire, was scattered, and
the fire was left to run at will.
"In combats seven hostile ma
chines were driven down out of con
trol. Another was forced to land iu
tact behind our lines by antiaircraft
fire; the pilot was captured. Three
or four machines are missing.
"During Sunday night our night
flying machines dropped bombs on
Koulers and Menin. All returned
safely."

CAUSE OF YOUR BAD TEMPER
Anger unbalances a man. sullen
ness renders him an intolerable nui
sance to society. But often the cause
of the irritability is very simple.
The stomach is out of order. Anger
dies quickly with a healthy man,
the sourest temper disappears as
soon as the stomach is restored.
