Washington.—America's success In the world war has been made possible as much by workmen at home as by soldiers In France. America was confronted by a tre mendous task when the conflict with Germany became Inevitable. The sup plies the allies had required In the years since 1914 had necessitated con siderable readjustment of labor and commerce in the United States, but with actual participation in the con flict much greater changes had to be made. The work of American laborers In producing food, munitions and cloth ing enough for their own countrymen and the allies as well Is one of the greatest performances of the war, or Indeed, In history of all time. It has been made possible largely by careful organization of the nation's man power In order that every ounce of strength could be employed to best advantage. The United States, employment serv ice last .Tune was Intrusted with the great task of mobilizing and distribut ing labor/ Something of the kind was absolutely necessary, for without uni fied arrangements for obtaining the help needed for war production indus trial life In America would have been chaotic. ; Europe Sets Example. The experience of European coun tries had Illustrated how essential Is perfect organization and co-ordination of labor power toward successful pros ecution of a war which places practi cally whole nations in arms. In the wars of the past. Industrial life at home went on without any considerable In terruption ; the armies In the field were ordinarily not so large that they could not live on the country If they were forced to do so. With the summoning of millions of men to the colors by all the belligerent nations, however, the world war of 1914 quickly took on a quite different aspect. The withdrawal of an these men from industry proved a tremen dons shock to the economic life of ev ery nation. Germany probably was the best pre pared for the great change, for the possibility of summoning most of the man power of the nation Into warfare had been considered more thoroughly than elsewhere. France and England, It soon became apparent, had made serious mistakes. In France large numbers of skilled mu nition workers were called Into the army, and they suffered tremendous losses when the Germans overran Bel gium and northern France. Munitions output slowed up, and only by the most heroic exertions were the French finally able to turn back the enemy at the Marne. Eventually the skilled ma chinists were called back Into the fac tories, where they, could be of much better service than even In the first line trenches. England had similar experiences. In the patriotic zeal of thousands to en list, for the voluntary system was re tained in England for about three years, little attention was paid to the retention -on essential jobs of men whose places hardly could be filled. The was that railway The consequence was that railway workers, miners and machinists went Into the army by thousands and that England's productive capacity was crippled seriously. Only this year Eng land was forced to withdraw 10,000 miners from the army in France, In order that they might maintain the fuel supply of the British Isles. United States Profits by Errors. America was able to profit by these mistakes of the allies, and from the start organized a war program on the basis of highest efficiency. The col lapse of Russia shortly after America entered the war, afforded still another object lesson. Russia's collapse, it appears, was due more to a weakening of mor ale at the front than to trouble at home. Breakdown of the nation's in dustrial life was reflected quickly In the morale of the troops, however. The whole war has Illustrated the fact that it is the home army that breaks first, If a quick military victory is not ob tainable. Russia collapsed because the Russian people could do nothing more to carry on the war. Italy was in grave danger of disaster because of Industrial difficulties. Bulgaria and Turkey quit the war while both coun tries had large armies in the field, sim ply because the home front broke. The same condition existed in Austria-Hun gary.
