DRIVE TOWARD PARIS MAY BE GERMAN PLAN

London, June 26.-With a breath less expectancy which seems to be re- fected in the pause. at the present moment, on both battIefronts on the continent, the British public is await ing the next move on the European chessboard. It is conc&de ed that this move is Germany's and that it may be made against either Warsaw, Paris or Calais.
 Some German activity has been re- ported in the Argonne which may in Paris, but the closing of the Belgian frontier may mean the transfer of veterans from. the eastern front for another attempt to break through to the English channel Many persons believe, however, that no great offen- i've movement will be attempted along the western front until another effort against which position the Germans are said to be bringing big guns from Essen.
 No great activity is to be noted along any of the minor fronts. The Italians claim to be engaged in con sohdating the positions they have. won along the river Isonzo, while from the Dardanelles come reports of enormous losses suffered, by the Turks in defend. ing the peninsula from the attacks of the allies.
 The question of munitions, is still absorbing public attention in England The House of Comm mons has been as sured by Walter Runeiman, president of the board of trade, that Great Bri- tain has sufficient high explosives for her own use and that she need have no concern over her food supplies, but that the requirements for shells are still acute

 The appeal closes with these words:
 The managing committee (Verstand) of the Social Democratic party always hsa been opposed to a policy of con- quest and annexation. We now raise anew our sharpest protest against every effort and every proclamation the purpose of which is the annexation of foreign territory and the oppression of other nations. efforts and precIa- nations which have become public in Germany particularly through the de- nands of great economic associations as well as through the speeches of leading non-Socialist politfcians''

 IDLE AS CHICAGO WAR OPENS
Employers Shut Down All Building Industries to
 Fight Strikers.
ONE MAN STABBED
 DURING ARGUMENT
Business in All Parts of Country Will Suffer by
 Big Lock Out.

Chicago, June 26.-A general shut down. Of Chicago's building industry which, it was said, will throw out of employment more than 200, ,000 work CTS, went into effect today.
 The shutdown is regarded by con tractors and labor leaders as the be- wars in recent years. The action fol- lowed a meeting last night of all class es when arbitration of questions at is- sue was defeated.
 @ The carpenters have been on g, strike since April 30, when their agreement with the Contractor Employers asso- citation expired. The men had de- manded a wage increase from 65 cen<s to 70 cents an hour. By means of the shutdown the employers, 1t was saId, hope to prevent the independent car penter contractors from obtaining supplies and thus throw out of work the 10000 carpenters who are work ing under individual agreements.
 Business in many parts of the coun- try will suffer as a result of the shut down of this city's building industry, according to James Prior, a member Of the press committee of the employ CTS MT. Prior said he had telegraph ed out of town concerns to cancel or ders and stop consignments already on the way to Chicago.
 The shutdown will not become gen eral for week or more, it is said. Tn some cases, it took place today but in others, where perishab1e goods are handled, there may be 3. continuance of work for several days
 Herbert Ba1lou, carpenter contract or, was stabbed. it is thought fatally, in dispute early today with man who contended that the carpenters demand for 70 cents an hour was Jus tified.
