MEN WANTED
FOR SERVICE
OF RESERVES
R. K. Robertson. Alaska Federal
Director of the United States Public
Service Reserve, has written instruc
tions regarding the enlistment in the
service oi the country other than the
military bianch. One thousand men
arc needed front Alaska, that being
the quota for the territory. The fol
lowing is the full statement received
in Steward:
In connection with the enrollment i
of mer. in the U. S. Public Service Re
serve, a special postal card has been
furnished to the Public Service Kc
>erv< enrolling agents in Alaska, j
There cards, which aie called “Hur-,
ley” postal cards, are to be filled out
and returned to Mr. Edward X. Hur
ley, Chairman. U. S. Shipping Hoard.
Washington, D. C., by shipbuilding
mechanics only; that is, men who are
skilled blacksmiths, boiler makers,
ship carpenters, dock buildeis, electri
cal workers, foundry workers, machin
ist painters, plumbers, pipe titters,
sheet metal workers, coppersmiths,
hip fitters anci stiuctural iron work
ers. The purpose of these cards is to
rind out how many mechanics there
are in the United States, who are
4 illed in the line* mentioned and who
lie willing to enter the service oi the
Government in th^se classes ol work
which are adjuncts of the shipbuilding
trades. The Department of tabor
popes that every man in the country
who is skilled in any of these lines
will immediately register for setwice.
However, the Government does not
relegate enrollment simply to men
skilled in the lines of work mentioned,
as it is going to Ik* the policy ot the
Government in making the enrollment
to specialize: * st—All classes oi me
chanics that can be used in the con
struction of steel and wooden ships;
2nd—All other classes of mechanics:
■*rd—Export gas engine and automo
bile engineers and diivers; 4th—Ex
perienced lumber men, both mill and
woods men; .'>th—All persons who are
able and willing to servo in agricul
tural wo'-k: 6th—Young men'who arej
willing and can pass an examination
as aviators; 7th—All others who de
sire to he enrolled in the Service.
No man need hesitate about enroll
ing simply because he is not skilled in
the lines for uhich the “Hurley” pos
tal cards are used, as the Reserve wel
comes every patriotic citizen who
wishes to serve, whatever his qualifi
cations, including laborers of all kinds,
artisans, engineers, professional men.
The men especially needed, besides i

RESULTS OF GERMAN AIR RAIDS OVER PARIS
The upper photograph shows a view of several of the houses which were
wrecked by the bombs dropped by the Germans. These places of “military
importance” to the Germans were the homes of the people who live in the
poorer section of Paris. The lower photograph shows the results of bombs
dropped on the dormitory of a children's hospital, which fortunately had been
vacated In time by the 200 children, and none were Injured there. The build
ing is a mass of wreckage. If the children had not been removed doubtless
every one of them would have been killed._'
those skilled in trades which are ad
juncts to shipbuilding, are mechanics,
artisans, skilled laborers of all kinds,
men who can work with tools.
As its name implies, the United
States Public Seiwice Reserve is not
an agency to secure immediate em
ployment for its members. It aims
to have on hand a reserve of available
men who. while staying at their posts
in the industrial life of the country,
stand ready to go when the Govern
ment notifies them tliat they can be
of greater service elsewhere. In cases
whore the Government asks men to
change employment, it will do so only
after adequate consideration of the in
terests of their present employers At
the present time the Department of
Labor is making provisions fv? an ex
tension of the l>. S. Employment Ser
vice in order to place in jobs those
men who want immediate jobs. The
Department of I>ator is committed to
the policy of supplying war industries
first, and 90 far as it can, from the
ranks of the unemployed. When quali
fied men out of jobs are not to be
had, and only then, will it seek to get
men to shift from one employment to
i.no’ her.
Enrollment does not bind the per
son enrolling to accept a job from the
Government, although it is hoped that
he will do so if a job is offered him.
Neither does enrollment bind the Gov
ernment to offer a job to the regis
trant. At the time a registrant is
offered a job, he will be informed as
to the wages and other working condi
tions, he will then know whether or
not he is in position to accept. Regis
trants will be furnished wit1' a mem
bership card and also with »»v<*nze
button, as soon as the latter are re
ad ed from Washington.
Inasmuch as Alaska's quota is 1,
