London, Sept. IAN Antwerp
dispatch to the Reuter- Telegram
company says:
at is reported that General Pau
has won a brilliant victory over So
900 Germans near Peronnes, in the
department of somme.'
London, Sept. 1.-Queen Eliza
beth of Belgium with her children
arrived in England last night from
Antwerp.
London, Sept. 1.-Taken at its
face value the French official an
nouncement issued yesterday after
noon which mentions that the prog
ress of the German right wing has
forced the allies to yield further
ground, would seem to. indicate that
the Germans. notwithstanding re-
pulses, are making daily advances
toward Paris.
The statement Sunday of Field
Marshal Sir John French, command
err of the British troops, however,
spoke of fighting on the French left,
but this, according to one report, re-
suited in the German right being
slightly turned.
AUSTRIANs HALTED.
The Austrian invasion of Russia
in the Lublin district, which arous-
cd the apprehension of the allies,
has, if Russian dispatches are to be
relied upon, been blocked and the
Muscovites claim to have turned the
Russian defensive into an offensive
action. There is no confirmation of
the report that the Russians are in
Koenigsberg.
The silence means that there is
nothing doing, Sir John French's
statement Sunday that the British
had not been molested since We'd
nesday still holds good. Nothing is
known by the public in London Of
the new fighting, either in northern
or eastern France.
HELP FROM COLONIES.
From Canada, India, Australia
and South Africa the British army
front will soon receive large rein
forcements. Some of these troops
are reported already to have landed
in France.
In England the recruiting fever
has not abated. In Liverpool yes
terday a battalion of 1000 business
men was filled within an hour and
there was such an overflow that it
was decided to enroll second bat
talon. The British government has
started negotiations, through the
American consul at Berlin, for an
exchange with Germany and Aus
trian combatant prisoners.

PUBLIC SERVICE OF
MASSACHUSETTS TO
REVISE R. R. RATES

Boston, March Anew local class and
revised commodity rates on railroads in
the state will be ordered soon, according
to an announcement made by the Public
Service Commission in dismissing today
petition for a revision of local freight
rates at Haverhil.
The Haverhill Boxboard Co. asked for
a revision of rates on the Boston & Maine
and Joint rates in connection with the
Boston & Albany and the New Haven
roads.
The commission recalled that a new ba-
sis for class rates on the Boston & Maine
had been prepared as a result of the in
vestigation by various state commissions
and Interstate Commerce Commissioner
PProuty, and said the new local tariffs
were in the hands of the printer.
'It is evident says the commission,
that any intelligent and consistent treat
ment of the questions presented by the
petition must rest upon his basis as a
cornerstone, and that neither Joint rates
nor commodity tariffs can be properly
considered before the completion of the
fundamental basis.

DENY
WERE IGNORANT OF
COPPER MINE STRIKE

Houghton, Mich, March 4.-Denial that
strikebreakers had been imported against
their will, or that they were kept In ig-
norance that there was a strike in the
district, was made today to- the congress
sional committee investigating the Michi-
gan copper strike by Ocha Potter, super
intendent of the Superior mine.
Potter said that he had brought in 11oo
or 1900 men from seven states to take
the place of strikers; that he had employ
ed 70 per cent. of these men personally
and had made it plain to all that a strike
was in progress here. He said that
guards accompanied the strikebreakers on
the trains solely to protect them against
strike sympathizers and that all who
wished to leave the trains were permitted
to do So
Figures from the books of the mining
companies were introduced today by
counsel for the operators to refute testi-
mony by strikers as to the low wages
paid the men. A. f. Petermann of coun-
sci for the companies declared these fig
ures proved that the general wage aver
age was high, even though wages receiv-
ed in certain months were low.

ADVOCATE DIPLOMAS
FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL
EFFICIENCY WORK

New Haven, CT, March 4-Diplomas for
efficiency in Sunday school studies with
class numerals and graduating exercises
like those in High schools and colleges
were suggestions put forward by E. Nor
ris Ferguson of Philadelphia today in dis
eussing Sunday school work at a depart
mental conference of the Religious Edu-
eational Association holding its interna-
tional convention here. He would grade
boys and girls by age with the class just
entering intermediate work ranged as 1920
and allowing a six-year course of study.
The old young people would be put in
a postgraduate course.
John l.. Alexander of Chicago declared
there were too many organizations in
Sunday schools for students between the
ages of u and Is. There are 400 varieties
of them" he said, such as the Christian
Endeavor, the Missionary Society. the
knights of King Arthur. the Boy Scouts,
the Campfire Girls, etc. 1t is as impossi-
BILE for a boy to have loyalty to two
gangs as it is for a man to have loyalty
to two wives
Mr.. Alexander did not know whether or
not a diploma would keep girls and boys
in Sunday school. LAS they grow older
we have to increase the bribe and there
comes point when we cannot meet the
bribe and they go. There is something
inherently wrong in Sunday school work. y

UNEMPLOYED STORM
THE CAPITOL OF
MASSACHUSETTS

Boston, March 4-The unemployed
marched up Beacon Hill today and asked
for work from the legislative committee
on social welfare. The parade was head
ed by Morrison l. Swift
Women and men, numbering more than
a hundred, claiming to be both skilled and
unskilled in labor informed the commit
tee that they had been out of work for
months. They all said that they wanted
some kind of work. Mr.. Swift suggested
taht they be sent TO state farm.
Henry Sterling of the Massachusetts
branch of the American Federation of
Labor, said that there were $1,000 people
out of work in Massachusetts,.
After the chairman of the committee
had announced that the petition of the
unemployed would be carefully considered
and an effort made to find some solution
of the problem, Mr.. Swift's delegation
departed
Upon leaving the state House they
marched to st. Pauls cathedral, where
Mr.. Swift called for Dean Rousmaniere.
When he was told the latter could not
see him. Swift left a letter asking:
Can you not organize a free restau-
rant or form a bread line?
This is an emergency and we there
fore urge you to head movement among
your people to do something now. The
state cannot act until great suffering has
been endured

sf their deposits.
AS if to make good the threat a squad
of women started for the Simpson-Craw-
ford store which is being conducted by
the receiver The management learned
of the plan and sent hurry call for po-
lice reserves.

EARLY ACTION ON
ADMINISTRATION BILL
TO DEVELOP ALASKA

Washington, March 4.-Eariy action on
the administration bill for the develop
ment of Alaska's vast coal resources was
forecasted today when the House public
lands committee submitted the measure
with a favorable report. y committee
amendment would limit rights under pro-
posed leases to mining only, reserving all
surface rights to the government.
The bill would provide that Alaskan
coal lands be leased in blocks Of from
40 to 1850 acres. for not more than 20
years, resulting royalties and rentals to
go into fund for Alaskan development.
Fines and Imprisonment would be impos-
ed upon anyone found controlling more
than the maximum number of acres.
The government would reserve for its
own use 5120 acres in the Behring and 1850
acres in the Matanuska field. The pur-
pose is to develop these lands as source
of fuel supply for the navy and, If neces-
sary, to restrain private monopoly.

HEAVIEST ACCUMULATION
OF SNOW AND ICE IN YEARS

Springfield, Mass, March 4.-The accu-
mutation of snow and ice in the Connec-
ticut river watershed from northern New
Hampshire to the sea is said to be the
heaviest at this season for many years.
The average depth of snow in the valley
is II inches. ranging from inches at
Hartford, CT, to 20 inches at Wells River,
VT, and even deeper in the woods farther
to the north The ice is unusually thick
with IA inches at the dam at Holyoke, 70
inches at Brattleboro and 40 inches at the
Wells river near the mouth Of the Am
monoosic.
The precipitation during Sunday s
storm was mostly rain and comparative
ly little of 1t ran off, the snow absorb
ing it. In some of the smaller streams in
the lower Connecticut the warm weather
and rain carried out the ice but father
north the rivers, streams and brooks re-
main very firm.

GOV. WALSH REFUSES
A RAISE IN SALARY,
$4,000 TO $4,000

Boston, March 4.-Governor Walsh
established a new line of procedure to-
Gay by sending a special MESA ge to a
legislative committee and at the same
time refused to accept a proposed in
crease in his salary from $4,000 TO S12,-
900
So far as known it was the first time
that the chief executive of the state
has expressed himself in writing to u
committee in charge of a bill. The
Governor broke another custom last
week by speaking before legislative
committee.
While conceding that the present sal
ary Of the Governor is inadequate, he
said that the verdict of the election
constituted a binding contract with
The people at fixed sum and he hoped
that any recommendation for an in
crease would provide that it become
operative in some future year.

CONG, GUERNSEY HAS
ACTIVE PART IN THE
FISHERIES CONTEST

Washington, March 4-The Canadian
fisheries BILL so called, creating sys-
TEN of regulations for the protection
of food fish in the international bound
airy waters between the United States
and Great Britain, was reported from
the committee Monday and an effort
made to suspend the rules and bring
it before the House for immediate con-
sideration.
This failed, however, and in the dis
cussion which preceded the denial of
immediate action, Representative
Guernsey took an active part IN urg-
ing that Maine be fully protected from
injury to its canning industry and
that sufficient time for investigation
be allowed.
Said Mr.. Guernsey in part:
Certain important fishing indus
tries, particularly the sardine industry
on the st. Croix river and Passama-
quoddy bay in Maine, question wheth-
er or not this measure makes certain
the loca tion of the recognized spawn
ing grounds of the herring. The Bu
reau of Fisheries have been asked
whether it does or not, and they have
replied to my colleague tMr. Peters)
that they want more time before they
can reply whether it does make them
sufficiently certain the recognized
spawning grounds. / should like to
inquire of the chairman of the COM
mittee IL 1t is important that this bill
be acted upon today, or whether time
may not be granted to allow the Blu
reau of Fisheries to furnish this in
formation? 1t seems to me this bill
ought not to be considered under sus-
pension OF the rules, but ought to be
taken up in the regular order. 1t is
question that Is of tremendous i'm
portance, particularly to the district
represented by my colleague. Mr.. Pc
ters of Maine. who happens not to be
present just at this moment. Canning
companies and others engaged in the
sardine industry have telegraphed
here that they want an opportunity to
examine the bill and have some con-
sultation here in regard to it's provis-
ions.
Now there has not been any oppor-
tunity to submit the bill to them.
1t was reported to this House on the
9th day of February. only two or
three days ago. 1t seems under all
these circumstances, and the fact that
there may be defects In the measure,
that the men engaged in this great
industry in Maine and in other places
should be given an opportunity to sub
NIT the measure to them for criticism
before it is finally acted upon in this
House. Party action is not necessary,
and I hope passage of the bill will
be refused at this time and taken up
later when We have full information"
When the vote was taken for sus-
pending the rules and passing the bill,
1t resulted in Ill yeas; 10s noes, and
2o7 not voting, and the motion to pass
the bill today was rejected.
