oIution Affecting Public ..
Servants Wages

organized effort directed by the Amer,
can Federation of Labor to induce Con.
gress to grant wage and salary in.
creases to all employees of the United
States government from President
down to the humblest laborer was plan
ned at a meeting here today presided
over by Samuel Gompers, president of
the federation.
Resolutions were adopted at the meet
ing, attended by representatives, of all
organizations of Federal employees afrli-
ated with the federation, setting forth
that government salaries have not kept
pace with the cost Of necessities Of life
and directing that congress be earnest
ly petitioned TO grant increases ranging
from 10 to 81 10 per cent to govern
ment employees, whether in or out Of
the civil service.
Mr.. GOmpers was authorized to APP
point committees to urge the caus" be
fore congress. The resolutions agreed
to include a scale of increases, which
will be embodied in the plan to be
pressed.
What They Would Pay
Employees receiving salaries of less
than $1,000 per annum, an increase
of 33 l3 per cent, provided that no
employe shall receive compensation
at rate of less than 80 per day If
paid by the day, 800 a month if paid
by the month, or $lOSO n year if paid
by the year.
Employees receiving salaries of
$1,000 or more, but less than $500

Employees receiving salaries Of
$1,000 or more, but less than $4,000 per
annum, an increase of 90 per cent.
Employees receiving salaries of $4,000
or more, 10 per cent
Many Would Benefit
Should the plan be accepted by con
gress without any reservation the
President, Cabinet officers and national
legislators would be included in the
class to receive 10 per cent increase
The labor committees, however, while
meaning to overlook no one, will con
fine their efforts chiefly to procuring
increases in the lower paid grades.
The question of increasing wages is
already before the House of Represent
atives in the Legislative appropriation
bill, which is to be taken up for con
sideratiOn this week. Heads of several
departments have recommended in

certainly credit to the city, with the
various varieties of roses; especially
the large Henry NJ. Stanlys which
bloom every month. Louise Seybold

which consists mostly of cabbage and
beans. The Cosmos in her garden
are the largest that the Committee
has seen so far.
Agnes Graham, 502-5th. Ave-, an
other child of ten or thereabouts is
doing very good work. The corn
looks almost good enough to eat as it
is.
A very promising Tiger Lily plant
was seen at Geo. Gill's residence 221-
4th. Ave, which will be a beauty
when in bloom.
The cabbage at Thos. Hughes

"KILL USw BEGGED THE
WOUNDED, AND THE OF
FICERS DID IT

WINCHESTER, MASS, July 1s.-
Jonn Sheehan, Harvard Ii, back from
the Verdun front with a medal of
honor for courageous work as an
ambulance driver in the American
legion, today told the United Press
this story OF the battlefield as it was
related to him by a French captain of
Zouaves who lay mortally wounded
in base hospital:
Following one Of the terrific charg
es by the Boches up shell swept
slope held by the French, the field
was strewn with dead and dying. In
cessant artillery fire for three days
before the final charge had pitted
the hillside with huge shell-craters
and had driven the French first line
infantry back to the crest of the
knowl.
Then came the Germans, pouring
out Of their network of trenches,
stumbling up the steep slopes and
going down before the rifle fire of
the French zonaves. Three times the
Boches attempted to gain the crest,
and each time they were moved down
by hail of lead, falling back to their
lines in scattered groups.
When night came on and the Ger
man charged had been stayed, No
Mans Land, between the French lines
on the top of the hill and the Teuton's
position on the plane below was pill
ed high with dead and wounded, and
the huge holes torn by the German
shells were filled nearly level full
with bodies.
Captain x had been In command OF
one of the first line trenches and his
/, company had fallen back just before
the charge, leaving many wounded
behind. Among the latter was lieu
tenant, a brother-in-law of the cap
tain's, with whom he had taken the
oath of allegiance when their com
pany was called to the colors.
Calling to a gigantic Louave, known
as the bravest men in his company,
the captain told him he intended to
creep down the bloody slope under
cover Of darkness, in the hope that he
might rescue his comrade and asked
the man to accompany him.
As they made their way down inch
by inch, for incendiary shells scream
ing overhead lit up the sky from time
to time, making them clear targets
for the German guns, the Captain and
his man passed hundreds of moaning
dying comrades and Germans; and
their canteens were nearly empty
when they reached the trench they
had once. held.
There, nearly dead from thirst and
wounds, they found the lieutenant,
half way up the side of a great hole
torn by sixteen inch shell. In the
darkness the Captains flashlight lit
up the crater with CHASTITY effect and
he hasteped to pass his comrade up to

the Zouave, dimming his ears to the
groans of the wounded all about him.
AS he himself started to ascend the
slope a hand clutched his ankle and
voice in German begged:
xiii us, kill u.s."
Turning his flashlight toward the
crater's bottom, Captain Y saw there
more than dozen frightfully wound
ed Germans, gasping for water and
several already dead from their suf-
ferings.
Trying to draw away, he answered
the German captain who had called to
him, saying that he did not wish to
kill them, that he could not do it in
cold blood.
Then the Teuton Captain, his right
arm hanging in shreds, ciung to him
in desperation. He must kill them,
in Gods mercy he must. The hole in
which they lay was not exposed to
the fire of the combatants, but the
Germans would never again attempt
the desperate charge in which they
had lost SO heavily the afternoon be-
fore, and the Fresh could not move
from their impregnable position. 1t
meant that he and all his men would
lie there until they died from thirst
or their wounds.
Captain X mopped the calmy sweat
from his brow and thought of the
awful torture these men, enemies
though they were, and then deciding
instantly, ordered his man to carry
the Lieutenant on his back to the
French lines and return with as many
hand grenades as he could carry.
For nearly an hour he lay beside
the top of the crater, with only the
occasional scream of shell overhead
to drown out the groans of the Ger
mans.
Then the Zouave returned, and
and with a muttered prayer they
threw the grenades down into the
heap Of Germans until the last cries
were stilled.
