that in the famous battle of September 1914 the rmatos reached to more than 30 miles south of the

is closed to them but further south they have got 'to the road Soissons-Hartennes.

of the offensive Has "been nefcty . doubled in length in the last three days. At the outset it was about
35 miles'. It' is now 60 miles! "Mereiy ta make good our losses and to provide a screen of trpops

A few days ago several hundred machinists and Shopmen at Alexandria

been threats of a' general walkout of Union shopmen next ' Monday unlets
substantial further pay advances are forthcoming before thjtt time.
In a telegram to the heads of all labor unions having shopmen among
their members Mr. McAdoo gave notice that the government can not be
coerced or Intimidated and called upon railroad men to remain at their duty
and rely upon him and the new board of railroad wages and working condi-
tions for Just consideration of their claims. He asked the union leaders
to urge upon their men by wire the wisdom and patriotism of this-course.
"The strike of certain shopmen ma
