Germans Use Fresh Troops.
Since September Is the Germans hat
brought up three fresh divisions
against the French front, and the same
number against the British. On the
goth they made a desperate effort
to retake Bouchavesnes. Not only die
they fail, but five days later the allies
resuming the offensive, hurled back
their lines in spite Of the fact that con-
siderable advantages of terrain were
considered to be with the Germans.
The progress made by the French be-
yond Bouchavesnes is regarded here as
one Of the most surprising results Of the
operations French officers declare that
this success demonstrated the growing
power of the French offensive-and the
failing resistance OF the Germans. The

artillery from ST. Pierre Vast wood IN

| NEW YORK, September e.
Union workers to the number OF
I25 600 went on strike today in
sympathy with the. striking trac-
ton employees, according to fig
ures given out at meeting OF
representatives of labor unions.
Although labor leaders claimed
that 125,6oo workers had re-
sponded to the call, there was
little evidence that a strike was
in progress.
These were the figures reported to the
| meeting by the union delegates, accord
| ing to Ernest Bohm. state organizer of
the American Federation of Labor. The
trades which have responded to the
strike call, he said, are the United
Garment Workers, six building trades
| unions, the paperhangers, painters.
house wreckers and a number of small
organizations. Bohm declared that $685.
900 more would go out tomorrow.
Private canvassers among the labor
unions reported that at least twenty-five
| unions had failed to respond to strike
calls this forenoon. The only report re-
ceived at police headquarters was that
$50 members of the painters union had
refused to report for work.
At one time it was predicted that up
ward Of 600, 900 trade unionists would stop
work. Attempts to estimate the number
of strikers were complicated by the fact
that thousands of Jewish workers will
remain idle over Thursday and Friday in
celebration of the beginning of the Jew
ish New Year. or those expected to
strike 900 are members affiliated with
the United Hebrew Trades who stop work
each year at this time for the Jewish
