Latest ntitlictitio luformntion gather ed points to the necessity of employ ing tit once iienrly 12,000 men in the shipbuilding business at Pot Hand, aud between two and thtec thousand in thc-yards outside. With conltact1 already let and cor tain to bo placed hi the near future, it is staled by the shipbuilders that from 20,000 to SS.oOu men should bo employ ed by the close of this year, or early next year. Tho work is on hand to give this employment and the demand for chips is growing greater every day. Tholdevelopmcut of an Industry of this magnitude so suddonly has result ed in drawing practically all of the available men within immediate reach, and already tho shipbuilders of the state are urging laborers from all parts of the West to talte positions in their plants. Appeals arc coming from national officials and all tho leading business men of the East for all seaboard states to concentrate their supreme energies upon the program of building ships. This is declared to be the greatest duty conjbnting the nation today and on evcrjAand it is admitted frankly, de spite the optimistio statements made of the position of the allied forces, that unless ships are built by America at a pace absolutety beyond the present program the effectiveness of the United States in tho European War will be largely reduced. Germany is counting implicitly upon destroying more ships than are built to provont America from participating extensively In the war. The submarine program is mak ing more rapid progress than the ship, building program. For these reasons the federal government is putting tho building of ships as the primary patri otic duty of the people of the country, and urging every person who can aid iu the work io take It up with as much reverence antl as much sense of duty. 'as if they wejre enlisting in the army. Amcrica'sfood, munitions, arms, and men cannot reach Europe without an adequate supply of ships. Best author Itie&vdeclareHhese should be built of l(ilfan5,wo6dias rapidly as the forces of the country, can be marshalled for the work. In the emergency every man who has any meohanical or artisan skill whatever is being adapted to some part of ship construction, wherever he de sires to work. It has been necessary to ,t each labor to do classes of work It has,nevr undertaken before. All the facilities for such instruction are be ing provided by the ship yards, the government, and state, and men arc having an opportunity to take up lines of employment never presented before at the best wages that have been known In tho Pacific Northwest and perhaps the country. CoFscientiiui Objectors JMutt Help thcrmy Washington, D. U , Aug. "lS.-Rblh gious objectors are assigned a definite place in tho national nrmy for the first time hi a ruling mado public today by Provost Marshal General Crowder. They will be sent to the mobilization camps for duties which the president may designate to as noueotnbatnut. The ruling says they "will bo draft ed, forwarded to n mobilization camp and will make up a part, of the quota from tho state aud district from whence they come and will be assigned to duty in a capacity declared by the president to bo non combatant." The duties which may be allotted to these men have not been made known. There are numerous' army organiza tion?, however, such us tho hospital corps, quartermaster coips, known as non-combatant troops, hi army organ ization. Presumably objectors will bo placed in theso units where their work will be to savo life, not to take it Special Oil Meeting Tonight A special meeting of tho lllg Chief Oil and Gas Company will bo hold at the Morhart opera house this evening at 8 o'clock. Several eastern capitalists have made a proposition to the directors of the company to take over all' or part of tho stock, and this proposition will be placed before the shareholders at this meeting, therefore it is desired that all who aro interested in tho company to be present, as this qncstlon must be decided at this meeting.

About 832,000.00 will bo appropriated for Webeter county to bo expended in the improv ng of county roads during the next three years. About live per cent of this aniouut will bo used between now and spring in making plans aud speci fications and advertising for contrac tors and the like. The government en gineer is figuring on having every county ready to begin work simultan eously next spring. The roads to be worked in Webster county will begin at a point north of Hluo Hill where it will join the Adams county road, From lilue Hill it will extend south to Kud Cloud by way of Uowles. Here it wjli join a road to extend from Guide Rock to the Franklin county Hue at a polut directly west of Inavale. The road will not be planned farther east than Guide Hock until Nuckolls county so lects her road.whon tho two counties can get together nud decido on a moot ing point 6u the county Hue. Mr. Shidler says it is his belief that tho QuideUoek-Red Cloud road will bo sand graveled owing to tho eas.v access to sand beds at so many places along the route. The federal government requires these roads to be made to n 5 per cent grade, but it is not likely thatl Webster county will be able to to raauo such u grade for a thuo, but that is what wo will eventually have.
