Ol'E.V rOK SPECIALISTS
IN   WAU   DEl'AKTMENT.
There is a list of 137 occupations where the demand for men in the War Department constantly ex¬ ceeds tho supply.
A pressing need exists in the Army mules, and before all future needs are met a recruiting campaign may become necessary. No difficulty has been experienced in getting men who can buy and handle horses, but black-smiths are scarce.
There is a constane demand for butchers, and cooks are greatly need¬ ed. In several- technical branches particularly the engineers, men for the higher positions are plentiful but tho workers for tho ranks are Bcarce. Experienced mechanics, es¬ pecially those familiar with automo¬ biles are alwaya in demand.
Moro interpreters than can be used have applied for positions with the War Department, and applica¬ tions for commissions as Army chap¬ lains are also in excess of the need. The excess totals thousands in each case. Clerks for general work are plentiful, but there is demand for specialists. At present there ia a surplus of dentists and pharmacists.
'¦     Many farmers in the recent draft, ' who have asked for exemption on tho 'ground   that  their  labor is essential to  the  growing    and    harvesting ot crops at home will learn through an order of  the  War Department  cited I by  Major  General  Scolt  that  indefi- i nito   furloughs  will  not   be  granted for the purpose of engaging in agri¬ cultural   pursuits.    This  means  that while favorable action may bo taken ujion worthy claims of men needed in i farming operations this year, the far¬ mers  given   furloughs  must  be  pre¬ pared   to   return   to   their   organiza¬ tions at any time.
"All  furloughs  iu this class", the order reads, "will l)e recalled and the ' men  ordered   to   their  organizations when lho latter havo preparatory or¬ ders  for  duty overseas."
Soldiers   who   may  be  indefinitely relieved  from  military duty without pay or allowance to engage in indus- ¦ tries essential  to  the prosecution of : the war are uot, hereafter, to be rec- j ognized as civilians, but will  be  re- i garded as transferred to the arm of I tho service, unassigned in which they are serving at the time of transfer. [     Hundreds  of  recent  recruits   who may bo attached to infantry or artil¬ lery organizations, under an order is¬ sued   Tuesday  will   be  permitted   to ask for transfer to the Medical Corps providing  they are physically,  medi¬ cal students, dentists, dental studeu- j ts, pharmacists or osteopaths. !     The famous French Military Band, ; now touring  the United States,  will make a three-day visit to Camp Dlx^ will be given    at 6:30    o'clock each evening of Its stay.
The biggest "little ole swlmmln hole" in the State will be opened for tho soldiers next week. Sol Metz- ger, former football coach at the University of Pennsylvania, and now camp athletic director for the y. M. C. A., haa arranged for the use of Hargrove's Ice pond between the camp and Brown's .Mills. The pond ; Is being cleared of brush and weedes, leaving a clear, sandy bottom and it is flooded by water of tested purity. Organization of a general court- martial board was effected by appoin¬ tment of .Major General Scott with Colonel Thomas II. Harker. camp In¬ spector, aa president.
A regular stated meeting ot Town Council was held this 3rd day of Juno 1918 in the Council Uoom at 8:00 o'clock p. m. There were pre¬ sent Messrs. Lindenmoyer, Starner, Yeisley, Hartzell, Welty and Werk¬ heiser. Messrs. Leopold, Klepping¬ er and Gauo were absent.

"OVER THE TOP" WITH
SERGEANT  GUY  BMPEY.
The Third Street Theatre, has scored tho scoop ot years in motion pictures by obtaining "Over the Top" the Vitagraph special in which Sergeant Arthur Guy Empey author of the famous book, appeared in the leading role "Over the Top", will be shown at the Third Street Theatre, Easton, every day during the week ot Juno 10.
It follows closely the events ot Empsey's remarkable book and pre¬ sents the struggle in France in sharp silhouette without auy attempt at showing the major operations. Through the exi)ert knowledge of Sergent Empey gained through eigh¬ teen nionths of service with tho Bri¬ tish expedisionary forces In France, Uench ngUling is revealed with great faithfulness, and tho spectator gets all ot the thrill of watching trench raids without any of the horrors of slaughter
Not only is "Over tho Top" the greatest photoplay in the history ot motion photography, but it is the one story of lifo in lho trenches that has touched every responsive soul In America

j A.MERICAN AIRMEN
TELL.S   OF   FIGHTING
EXI'ERIEN'CES.
A committee on the Public Infor¬ mation representative in Loudon says
There are uo  better sportsmen ia : the   world   than   the   allied   airmen, and American aviators uow Ughtiug iu Kurope always play a fair game, as Ihey learu it from the allies.     F. 1*.   .Magouu,   a   former   Harvard   stu¬ dent,   liow  a   member  of  the   Royal j air  force     receut     wouuded,     teella I how   the   lives  of  Germau observers escaping    from balloous    have been spared.
"We caught three Hun balloons a- bove the allied grounds in a mist, which'prevented their gunners see¬ ing us," said he. "It was a cinch. , Vou should have seen them huatlo I out thoir parachutes and abandon tlie ballous. As they came falling dowu through the air we circled about closely but, of course, didn't open lire, as that's agaiust the rules of the game. As soon as they touch¬ ed luu ground they took over like rabbits.
-Magoun is the only American in his siiuadron, haviug joined in Feb¬ ruary of iast year. Uu has bagged live Germuu planes. While Carry- I ing bombs for low attack Iu the ro- ' cent offensive he received a bullet ' through his left arm, but managed to return to his owu lines. Magoun tells of a companion iu his 8(;uadron who had oue of the luckiest escapes (luring the war. He was put out of action a 1,000 feet in the air when a bullet perforated his gasoline taak. lie wus rendered unconscious by tha fumes and his machine took a nose dive to the earth, but he escaped without a scratch.
I A section of the Royal air force : operating in the Ypres salient has lost its only American member, who liad been with the squadron only 10 days wheu he weut on a bombing raid at low elevation. He was hit by a machine-gun bullot aud his piano fell in flames. He waa taken prisoner.
Tho efforts of newspapers to pro- i mote good feeling between the people lot England aind the thousands of .Americans received official backing when Sir Randolf Baker, momber of I'arliament, offered to take charge uf the American troopa welfare de¬ partment of tho British Government. His plans contemplated a continuous pro'gram ot healthful recreation in every American rest camp and train¬ ing camp in Knglaud. Special Lon¬ don theatrical companies will be sent out. An organization known as "Sammio's Blighty Leaguo" is be¬ ing formed.
