GERMANS LET UP SOME
IN THE VERDUN REGION
Only on East Bank of Meuse River Is
Bombardment Going on-claim
to Have Retaken Corbeaux

London.-The German offensive has
been slakened in the Verdun region.
The French official report announces
that there has been no recent attempt
at infantry action on the part of the
Germans along the whole front.
On the east bank Of the Meuse the
region around Douaumont is being sub
jected to heavy bombardment, but on
the rest of the center and in the
Woevre the guns are not working so
actively, and on the western bank of
the Mouse, in that section from Beth
incourt to the Cote de role, the artil-
lery duel has been comparatively I'M
important.
In that region the Germans claim to
have retaken most of the Corpeaux
wood, the possession of which is likely
to prove factor in an attack on the
Cote de role, the Germans also hold
ing Hill 265 to the northeast of that
important strategic position.

plan worked better than l anticipat-
ed. The crowds were enormous, sales
were large and the demonstration and
advertising features were more than
satisfactory"
And they did it right at Richland
Center One of the features adver-
tised in the program was a free style
show and entertainment, including an
imported interpretative dancer. What
woman, or man, would miss this?
Other features of interest to the Ia
dies were a cooking exhibit and
baby show.
But the big effort was to get the
farmers to Richland Center. With
this idea, there was horse show
and auction Of fine stock, dairy ex-
hibit, seed contest, display of imple-
ments and machinery, a few good lee
lures on practical farming and com.
munity welfare, and some prizes were
offered. There were also foot races,
tugs-ofwar and a wood-sawing con-
test between local merchants and
bankers. No direct effort was made
to sell goods, but the merchants of
Richland Center have been doing a
good business since and believe 1t
was well worth the effort and ex-
pense.

TROUBLE
EXPECTED|NMEX|CO
CONGRESS SEES MANY coMPLlcA-
TIONs IN SENDING TROOPS
DOWN THERE.
RUSH PREPAREDNESS PLANS
Quick Action Urged by Senators
Chamberlain and Borah-Look
for $4,000 Mexicans to Rally
to Noted Bandit.

Washington.-Danger of grave COM
plications. growing out of the sending
of American troops into Mexico to
hunt down Villa and his bandits, was
voiced in the senate on Monday by
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the
military committee, and Senator Borah,
republican, in advocating laying aside
temporarily all other legislation in or
der to dispose promptly Of prepared
ness measures. Their statements pre-
cipitated a general discussion in which
Senators Vardaman and Simmons de-
preciated suggestions that the United
States was not prepared to deal with
any situation that might arise in rela
lions with Mexico.
While the senate debate was in prog
ress, Speaker Clark and Majority Lead
leagues of the house on a conference
early in the day with President Wilson,
who urged them to- speed up the legis-
lative program with a view to action
on important measures in time for ad-
journment in June. The house lead
er Kitchin were reporting to their COL
ers agreed that it would be impossible
to accomplish the task ahead in so
short time, although steps will be
taken to hurry on with the work as
rapidly as possible.
Preparedness Action Demanded
Demands for immediate action on the
preparedness bills were made in the
senate when the matter of taking up
the public lands, water power and rural
credit legislation was preached.
Senator Chamberlain declared he
would not be surprised if, as a result
of the punitive expedition into Mexico,
General Villa were proclaimed ma
tional hero and $4,000 Mexican troops
rallied to his standard to resist Ameri-
can troops.
Senator Borah, who has been among
the most persistent critics of the adj
ministrations Mexican policy up to
this time, gave complete Endorsement
to the presidents action, but warned
congress to prepare for war, declaring
that no man knew what consequences
might follow the invasion of Mexico
even on a punitive expedition. He re-
ferred to the presidents recent warn
ings to congress concerning interna-
tional complications and said congress
had not needed the warnings, but had
sat still with regard to national de-
tense legislation
Senator Borah said also that unless
there was extraordinary speeding up in
congress the national defense fight
would come in the midst of presiden-
tial campaign, and would then, despite
any effort to prevent it, be beclouded
with politics.

A butcher whose business had been
steadily declining, owing chiefly to a
rival setting up on the opposite side
of the street, confided to his minister
that he saw nothing for it but to close
his shop and leave the town.
The clergyman suggested that per-
haps he had not made any serious ef-
fort to retain his trade, but the butch
er replied that he had done all he
knew without success.
"But," said the minister, "have you
tried the effect of praying?"
No.. he had not thought Of trying
prayer, but he would do SO before
putting up the shutters.
A day or so later, the minister,
CHANGING to pass the butchers shop,
found him radiant with delight.
well did you try the power OF
prayer?" he asked.

A Shorter Day Wanted.

The railroads contend that the men
are not sincere in their demand for
the shorter workday; they declare
they want a wage increase rather than
a time decrease, and refer to a small
number of the men who prefer the
extra hour jobs to prove it. If the
companies desire to test the sincerity
of the men, let them prove their belief
in what they say by then establish
ing the eight-hour day SO that the men
do not have to make a minute of over
time. The shorter workday is the on
ly proposition on which the men are
voting.

RAILROAD TRA|NMEN
WANT 8-HOUR DAY
THE SEVERAL BRANCHES IN OP-
GRATING DEPARTMENT ISSUE
STATEMENTS.
CLAIM THEIR WANTS ARE FAIR
Also Want Time and one-HaIf for
Overtime-Think Roads Will Not
Be lnconvenienced in Adopting
Plan, More Than Others.

This is a partial official statement
on the shorter work day and time and
one-half for overtime, issued by the
grand chief Of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, the president of
the Order of Railway Conductors, the
president of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen, and
the president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen.
The demand is fair; all of the lead
ing industries and trades, railroads ex-
copied, have recognized the economic
justice of the eight-hour day. We be-
lieve it can be adopted with no
greater inconvenience by the railroads
than accompanied it's introduction in
other employments.
The eight-hour day movement is
based wholly upon the justice Of a
workday of reasonable hours that will
permit the men further to separate
the dead line between work and wa
ges. The railroads say in effect that
railroad service have worked them
selves out and will not be accepted if
they lose their positions. If men are
worked out in few years under pres
ent service conditions, as the railroads
in effect declare, the demand to ex-
tend their wage-earning years Is fully
justified.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1916-03-17
Extra Pay for Extra Work.

Overtime in road service is due al
most wholly to the practice of rail
roads overlooking trains SO that they
can not make their mileage within
their time limits. The railroads are
doing this for profit, they do not deny
it, and if they propose to demand ex-
ira service at the sacrifice of the
health and future earning capacity Of
the men they should pay extra for It,.
The payment of overtime applies with
particular force to yards where the
companies can regulate their work so
that no overtime need be made. If
they exact extra service, it is to their
own interest and the men have per-
feet right to demand time and one
half time for that service.
