Means of" withdrawing these workers
from nonessential Industries with as
' little disturbance as possible to the
country's economic life have been put
up to a committee, which will report to
the board Friday.
A subcommittee Is to meet Thurs
day to' consider a zone plan by which
labor quotas would be apportioned
among the nonessential Industries of all
States.
Under the plan outlined so far by thn
policies board the Government will
establish a corner on the country's
labor market through a centralized re
cruiting and distributing agency. Pri

war production will apply to this agency
whenever men are needed. A priority
committee of the board may be created
to pass on such demands and decide

GERMANS CANNOT WIN,
SAY ALLIED OFFICERS
Give Enemy Credit for Ex
ploiting Advantage, but Are
Confident of Victory
By CHARLES H. GRASTY
Special Cable to Evening: Public Ledger
Covjrisht. 1018. bv .Vnr York rimri Co.
rnrls, June i
In the course of a week's automobile
tour along and behind the northern
front, I have talked witn m-ny Hngllsh,
Canadian and American officers about
tho new German offenslxe. Speaking
generally, It Is viewed graely But,
while the officers seem to give the
enemy credit of exploiting his advan
tage very capably, in no calculation was
a German victory considered Nowhere
is there tho light-hearted confidence
such as men often show In the face of
impending disaster
These men know where they stand.
They will soon be called on to bar the
way, and their Jaws are set No matter
wnnt the danger, It must be- met, and
the price they personally pay does not
matter In the least In my whole week's
traveling I heard no opinion entertaining
the possibility of ultimate German vic
tory Cities might fall, whole armies be
annihilated eery man 1 s.nv faces the
next few weeks full prepared to make
the supreme sacrifice but nobody be
lieved that this great, free world was
about to go under the German yoke
Summing up the officers' mess opinion:
It is not believed that I'aris, Calais or
even Amiens will fall to tho enemy as
the result of the piesent series of of
fensives. These successive thrusts are
regarded as the working out of .i ery
Intelligent German program to drive In
wedges and so lengthened the Allied line
as to make It untanslble and compel us
to shorten It If we draw to a shorter
front the enemy will then hope to repeat
tho same process until he re;hes our
Mtals
The plan Is fine and may partly suc
ceed, but the history of war abounds In
examples of Just such fine plans going
wrong.
