The Phoenix Ceramic Works is a

The pressers have been paid from

price of pressing is absolutely un-
justified and entirely out of proper

that our former superintendent had

Wreck Bridges Over Meuse.
WILLIAM p SIMMS

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Jan. 23: French shells
have wrecked portions of the bridges
across the Meuse at st. Mihiel. Vio-
lent cannonading is making the Ger
man position in the west bank of the
Meuse an uncomforta BILE one and the
French are preparing to assume their
drive against the German wadge,
whose point rests on st. Mihiel This
was the substance of official claims
today fatty contradicting the Ger
man official statement yesterday that
"the enemy has been cleared from
the front of st. Mihiel."
Forced to Quit Trenches.
That the French were forced to
evacuate trenches in the st. Mihiel
region is admitted here, but the re-
tirement was for a distance of less
than 200 yards, according to the war
office. There is fighting on the hills
in lower Alsace, the war office an
nounces. The Germans are making
repeated bayonet charges in an eff
fort to drive the French from their
entrenchments on the hills. Possess
ion of these hills, commanding a wide
territory in Alsace, is retained by the
French.
A gain of 100 yards along the
highways near Lombaertzyde in the
Nieuport region. where infantry en-
gagements have been in progress fo
three days, is officially claimed.

their sailboat, which was 28x12 feet
and equipped with an auxiliary
motor, sank, could not be learned
from the telegram received by Mrs.
Booz, as 1t presented only bare out
line of the facts. According to form
er Marshal Walters, there is a sunk

boat of the young men was ship
wrecked on that obstruction, as was
his own boat. They were probably
picked off the sinking boat by reve

The young men left here Novem-

themselves. The boat, from all ap-
pearances, was strong enough to
withstand severe squall or gale,
and friends here say it must have
struck some wreck like a sunken
iron steamer to have been sent to the
bottom. The boat was uninsured.

not only those who did the shooting
should be held without bail, but all
accessories. both before and after the
fact, should be likewise held. The

Arriving at the borough hall in

upon receipt of a message from the
prosecutor, string OF fifteen auto

the vigilantly guarded gates OF the
Liebig plant. Outside the gates
stood a battery of photographers,
newspaper reporters, and strikers
hushed and placated by the wholesale
arrests that they felt sure would tol-
low the identification of the deputies
who shot down their comrades. None
were admitted as the big deputies, a
score in number, swung their clubs
at the entrance to keep back the
laborers who, before their arrest,
clamored for vengeance upon the
ones who had made murderous
assault upon them.
