WASHINGTON, Sept 11! Every ^

ministrative machinery ever proposed ]:■:
by a nation has already been devised.
The administration does not intend
to repeat England’s blunder by de-, E;
pleting the man-power of industry un x
til men must be recalled from the E
fighting lines to save the situation. x
i "There must be no mor*- 1<>ss In
production” is the word of the govern
ment. "The wheels of industry must x
not lack propelling force.”

of assisting Mr Neavi* and i appeal

"Kvery corporation bus in its em xj
ploy a certain number of men upon j :
v hom it must depend for efficiency in :j
organization." said James F Call
bieath, secretary of the American
Mining Congress. "These men. either •>'
producing laborers or in management,
vve may speak of as "key men,' and
unless these men are kept at their jjj;
duties the mining industry will tail :;j
to produce its quota ot war material.
The American Mining Congress lias xj
telegraphed all state and division or
ganizations to urge their members to —
handle this “manpower" problem
carefully, in order that (Ieneral Crow
mix instructions, that no essential
tiained men be sent to the army, may
he carried out. Thousands of pro
ducers are being personally urged by
tbe mining congress not to depend
upon the judgment of the labor de
partment advisers to district boards,
but to be able to present proofs of
reasons for exemption in each cam.
President Wilson has joined in tin*

GERMAN OFFICERS RAD
LUXURIOUS APARTMENTS
BEHIND THE FRANCO-AMERI
CAN LINES IN FRANCE, Aug j thy
mail).— Priceless tapestries, paintings,
furniture of the Louis XIV period,
grand pianos and rich portieres found
by the Hun in Chateau Thierry were i
carried away by him in his retrout
and used to furnish dugouts.
Following the German retreat Amer
ican units inspecting the enemy dug
outs for concealed bodies found the
elaborately furnished subterranean
apartments. The care and design of
the furniture varied with the rank of
the ofllcer, it was discovered. At one
of the tpiarters - that of a German
general tile sides of the dug-out were
lined Hist with lumber looted from
the town, and over the lumber were
placed embroidered portieres. To pro
tein dust from falling from the reel,
v hieli had been first protected by cor
rugated sheet iron, several artistic
poetries hail been attached.
The grand piano was found In the
ad quarters of a regiment. It was
ought by the Americans that here
e regimental staff reveled over their
st successes, and the use of der
ail artists to play the Instrument
is resorted to Finely-carved tables
id chairs were found in profusion
this rendezvous Other dug-outs
ere furnished also in elaborate style,
irying In degree with the rank of
e occupant.
Beds from Chateau Thierry took up
uch of the space in some of the
I
higher dfflrers' quarters. Down un- 1
der twenty to thirty feet of earth
could be found handsome bedroom
suites. In Home cases, due to the
haste which the retreating Huns were
forced to exercise, the beds had not
been used since they had been made
in the morning, and were ready for
occupancy Models of comfort, they
were mute evidence that the retreat
of the Hermans had been a hasty
one.
