PARIS, Jan. 23.-The relation of the
labor unions to the war has been alto
gether creditable to them, according
to NJ. Marck, treasurer of the Fedora
ton of Labor Unions of the Seine. He
said the government had always been
nervous about labor unions in case Of
war, and as the anti-militarist cam
paign had reached alarming proper
tons it was thought serious question
what might be the extent of defections
in case of outbreak.
That this had been false alarm of
fear was evident from the fact that
three hundred thousand trades-un-
ionists-not revolutionists-have rails
ed their voice against the aggresor."
"The militant union leaders are now
too much occupied in the trenches, and
at other points where there's patriotic
work to do, to think of the fight be-
tween labor and capital" he said.
But" he added, because we're do
ing our duty it will be mistake to
suppose that afte rit's over we shall
disarm and abandon our fight for the
eight hour day and the Saturday half
holiday; the fighting, in my opinion,
will then be hotter than ever.
But that is for later on, just now
we are too busy distributing tickets
for meals to unemployed, and we are
short of help for most of the union
leaders are at the front many of them
have proven by giving their lives to
the cause that they were as much pa
triots as those who were denying them
the right to be so-called.

Union, has been killed. as we'll as Re-

EUROPEAN NEWSPAPERS
FEEL EFFECT OF WAR
OVER 200 GERMAN PAPERS SIS.
PEND WHILE ENGLISH PAPERS
FEEL THE EFFECT ALMOST AS
SORELY
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Jan. 23-"Owing to de-
creased advertising revenue arising
out of the war, PIP German newspa-
pers are already said to have disap-
reared. At least half that number
have probably died in Great Britain, -
says the Globe.
These facts supply the strongest
imaginable comment on the common
fallacy that this war is profitable to
the newspaper owner. AS matter
of fact, the reverse is the case.
"A modern newspaper is an ex-
ceedingly complex organization and the
purchaser obtains for a penny or halt
penny a publication which costs more
than that sum to produce The ex-
PLANTATION is found in the profits de-
rived from advertising revenue, with
the result when that decreases below
certain point, a paper is run at a
loss in production which increases as
circulation increases.
so far from the British press hav-
ing found the war gold mine, there
is not one newspaper that has not
felt the pinch somewhere, and many
are making the greatest financial sac.

Gradually few Of the groups
from the two sides drifted closer to-
gether. Everybody was unarmed. One
Of the foremost German groups waved
bottle of wine toward the nearest
English groups and invited them to
join the party. After a moment or two
the Englishmen started over. carry
ing a Christmas cake and a box OF
chocolates. The men shook hands all
around, and Immediately cheers and
clapping came from both sides of the
field, where English and Germans
alike had been anxiously watching the
meeting. The group had a smoke ami
drink together. All the time in the
distance could be heard the sound Of
artillery fighting.
THE Englishmen snapped pipe to-.
baoco for German cigars, and British
candies for German chocolate. Later
in the evening the Germans sent over
to the British trenches a small Christ
mas tree with various cheerful mes
sages and little gifts tied on its
branches.
Rain Breaks Up Football Game.
"On Christmas Day the British sell
diers brought football out in front
Of the trenches and invited the Ger
mans to send team over for a game
during the afternoon. They promised
to do this, but the weather-or their
officers-prevented it.
Soldiers unslung their sameras and
took snapshots of little groups Of
men from both sides hob-nobbing to-
gether. During the morning, some Of
the gayer spirits organized what they
called a fantastic parade led by a
German youth who had somehow OBJ
tanned possession of a high hat and
dress suit. Among the paraders were
two soldiers mounted on old bicycles
without tires.
"The happy scene was rudely inter-
rupted about one o'clock in the after
noon by the arrival of big shell, fir

TOXIC, Jan. 23.-Over 10000 replies
were received by a Japanese news
paper when it asked its readers to
send in maXims to stimulate and cheer
the army at Tsingtau. This was dur
ing the siege Of the German fortress,
but the newspaper has had the contri-
buttons translated into English and
French and will send them to the al
lied troops fighting in Europe.
The first prize was given to the
writer of the following:
"A naked soldier armed only with
death daring resolution may rob a
destructive mine of its deadly power -
This is a reference to a Japanese sail
or who while engaged in blockading
duty outside Kiao-Chow Bay, swan up
to a floating German mine and ex-
ploded it.
The epigram that captured second
prize was:
Think that a bullet that will
pierce you through is one aimed at the
motherland Make yourself shield
and you defend your country. Before
YOU load your gun with its projectile,
load your mind with patriotic spirit"
The third prize:
THE pain of wound in the back
is doubled by shame"
"One who treads the path Of hui
mainly is always safe and strong"
Value spirit above bullet"
Zone victory begets another"
The fourth prize maxims:
War is truly enjoyed by those who
shrink not from uedIH'
"Vanquish your enemy and Danish

"The strong kick at the heels OF
their adversaries and the weak at their
chins."

PETROGRAD, Jan. 23.-German and
Russian troops came to fisticuffs on
the Polish front recently, according
to dispatches received here.
A Russian aviator, having complet-
ed a reconnaissance over the German
lines, was returning to the Russian
position when he found his supply Of
gasoline suddenly cut off by a German
bullet, which had gone squarely
through the feed pipe. This forced
him 10 plane down, and he had to land
ABOUT half way between the opposing
trenches.
The Germans stopped shooting,
thinking the prize was secured and
not Wishing to damage the valuable
machine further. They rushed olt,
empty Landed, to bring in the aero
pare A party of Russians did the
same, and the two groups found them
selves facing each other both unarn-
cd. A hearty fight with fists for pos
session of the machine followed. The
Russians came under the fire Of the
sharpshooters in the German trenches,
and suffered some losses, but got the
aeroplane back to safety.

French Labor Unions

hustle the work of intrenching the
army of Paris when the Germans were
on their way toward the gates of the
city, and they all went cheerfully
without murmur; they slept in the
open, Just as the soldiers do, and they
rushed through the work so that II
Won Kluck had ever gotten within
gunshot of the outer trenches, he
would have received disagreeable
surprise.
Another, and far more disagreeable
duty performed by the navvies' union
was the burying of the abandoned Ger
man dead on the field of the battle of
the Marine.
I'm the relief work we are doing, it
has cost us nothing at all to take our
seats in the commission side by side
with the police, represented by Lepine,
with the priests, represented by Card
inal Annette, with the Jews, repre-
scented by the Grand Rabbi of Paris,
the Professionals, represented by Rev
Charles Wagner,-men representing
all the sects, while all the opinions
and all sides of every conflicting issue
of life are working tremendously to
relieve the distress of war; the de-
tails devolve upon us because we are
organized. When it came to distribut-
ing relief, we told the committee that
if they would let us go at it with our
organization, we would answer for the
result; in 48 hours II sections of our
federation were ready and we distrib
uted 5000 repasts the third day; today
we are distributing 100000 meals II
day, and it is all done by ticket. so that
we may be certain the relief goes to
the right place.
Our fund today amounts to seven
million francs, and our monthly out
lay is about 100000 francs, divided be-
tween 225 different soup houses. OF
course the commission has other de-
mands upon it than the mere feeding
of the hungry, but, with the fund in
hand, we can face the future with
equanimity."

In indoor swimming contests this
winter Edna Cole, a young woman
who has been swimming only a few
years has made such records that
experts predict for her wonderful
career. They expect that she will
begin to show among the champions
in contests to be held this summer.
She will be one Of the competitors
in such contests at the San Francisco
exhibition. She can dive, plunge,
swim every kind of stroke, from the
breast to the crawl, play smashing
game of socker, water polo and res
cue drowning person with the ease
of a veteran ife-guard. Experts
who watched her work believe she

Miss Elizabeth Reid Rogers, daugh-
ter of Richard Reid Rogers, of Wash
ington, has just been morganatically
married to Prince Christian of Phil
Observation-Disclosures, a nephew
of Kaiser Wilhelm. The ceremony
was performed at Trinity church in
Berlin.
The Morganatic marriage is the
elimination of a romance beginning
two years ago, when German
squadron visited American waters.
Miss Rogers Kentucky beauty
just out of her teens, was living with
her father and mother in Washington
and was a leader in the small circle
of society girls with a fondness for
athletics and the bachelors of the
diplomatic corps. She was the
youngest and the star woman fencer
in society, her napier having won her
contests over those of some of the
most accomplished masculine fencers
in Washington. She was belle in

Later in the afternoon British SOL
diers helped the enemy bury ten Ger
man soldiers, whose bodies were found
in a ditch in front of the German
trench. They were killed a few days
ago In an attempt on the English out
post"

her set, and when the German naval
officers from the visiting squadron
were in Washington she was the life
and soul of the impromptu gayeties
into which the officers plunged with
exhilaration.
Miss Rogers will not be Princess
Christian of Hesse and her husband
will no longer be known by his
princely title. The arrangements Of
the morganatic marriages of Ger
many between princes of royal blood
and women not royal, attended to by
the strictest legal procedure, protect
ing the matrimonial status of the
wife and her children, are none the
less strict in prohibiting the wife
from assuming the title of her hus-
bands family and preventing her
from sharing in his inherited family
estates. The title by which the
American BRIDE and her royal BRIDE
groom are to be known will be pub
lished by royal decree and be decided
upon personally by the emperor.
