AND PROSPERITY.

It was ascertained by the Secretary of Labor that more than 5,O0O,00O men were affected by wage increases between July l, 1915, and May IS, 1916. There is practically no un- employment at present and only about one per cent. of labor is employed in the munitions industries. It should be borne in mind that the present der mand for exports from the United States to European countries does not come alone from military sources. A vast quantity even of those articles which are classed as secondary war supplies goes to the imperative uses of the civil population of the warning nations. The charge that our ex- port. business depends wholly upon war demands and has created pros- perity that is blood stained and un- worthy, is political fabrication. Munitions exports were only a fraction over one-eighth of agricultural ex- ports, and less than one-eighth of the total exports of manufacturers.
 The building trade industry, which produced nothing for consumption abroad, reports 187 wage increases in 34 states.
 There is nothing in our economic program today which speaks in stronger and more convincing terms of the prosperity which the American people now enjoy under "the New Freedom" of Democracy than the wage raise of the average workman. The s1,S00, 100000 increase in the pay envelope which American labor re- alizes in 1916, as compared with 19d9, shows how labor has fared un- der this Democratic administration.

attended night school, Under such difficulties he contrfved to fit himself to enter the College of the City of New York. After about year in that institution he heard of West Point cadetship offered by the Hon. Robert B. Roosevelt, uncle of the Colonel to be awarded by compet- itive examination. Young Thomas Barry did not sleep much after that, for he realized that he was not brilliant intellectual genius, and that steady grinding work was necessary to win the coveted appointment. Win it he did, and in 1877 donned the uni- form of a second lieutenant of caval- ry. t4
 His first active service was in the Indian campaigns, when he fought Geronima's Apaches and the blood thirsty Sioux. He was sent to China during the Boxer rebellion. to the Philippines as adjutant-general to Gen. Otis, to Manchuria as an observ- CT during the Russo-Japanese war, and to Cuba as the commander of the army of pacification.

 Sir Alfred Keogh, the director of the Army Medical Service of Great BritaiA. is in his sixtieth yeaA and is the son of a Roscommon barrister. He gained his first experience in war time surgery during the South African conflict, when he was in charge of general hospital! His work was so efficient that he was awarded several medals, and in 1904 became director general ok the service He retired in 1909, but returned to the head of the medical service when the war broke out.

THE RISE OF A BOWERY BOY

Half century ago, when the
 Bowsry was noted as one of the toughest streets in the world and was proud of it, there might have been seen on that New York thoroughfare a barefooted youngster who answered to the / name of Tommy Barny. Skipping along ai few years, we find in 1877 aspick and span young chap in uniform, who might have been recognized as the former Bowery youth, graduating from West Point and receiving a commission as an of ficer and a gentleman in the army of Uncle Sam. More years passed, and in 1908 Thomas Henry. Barry was made major-general, attaining the highest military rank in the service. Since then he has held several high and mighty posts, including the com mands of the West Point Military Academy, the Eastern Division, and latterly the Philippine Division.
 General Barry was born in New York 61 years ago today. Although he lived in the East Side, near the Bowery. and was not an unfamiliar figure on that notorious street, Tommy" Barry had ambitions above those of the average Bowery boy. While other lads aspired to be cham pion pugilists, expert pickpockets or Tammany bosses, Tommy Barry wanted to be a soldier. His parents were poor. and the avenues leading to West Point do not usually include the Bowery, but Tommy" thought he could fnt way if he tried hard enough. He was put to work before he was in his teens, but, instead of hanging about the dives O nights, he

There have been many bucking and Unru1y mules offered to Bridgeporters In the past but none that could com pare with the one in Staine's Comedy Circus at the Plaza yesterday and we doubt very much If there was any, one in the audience who did not roar with delight at the antics of the stub born critter, especially when a fun ny colored fellow whom most of the crowd recognized immediately as be- longing to the act came upon the stage and tried to ride 1t.

Germans announced the capture Of
Haucourt. about three miles north
west Of Dead Mans hill. which
formed a supporting point of the
French left wing. From it large
section Of the French line and fortifi-
cations could be taken under Ger
man fire, including Bethincourt. This
village then became the objective
point. The French admitted the
evacuation of the Bethincourt salient
two days later, stating it was a
premeditated move designed to
straighten out the battle line.
On Sunday of last week the Ger
mans undertook general onslaught
along a 13 mile front both west and
east of the Meuse sector to Douau-
mont. A high French military off,
cial alluded to this movement as IAN
attack on the largest scale since the
beginning Of the offensive"
The Germans announced that with
In few hours after it was begun
Bethincourt and two fortified posi-.
tons to the southwest were isolated.
Trenches in the region of Dead
Mans hill were carried, but at no
point was the French line broken
through. Toward the end of last
week this attack subsided and there
came another pause, followed by
French counterattacks over small
sections Of the line.
The failure Of the Germans to
break the French line in the general
offensive of last week led French
correspondents to assert that the
German offensive had broken down.
Dispatches from the German front,
however, state that the operations
are being carried forward methodical-
ly in accordance with the precon-
ceived plan and with a full measure
OF the expected success for the Ger.
man arms.
