~ down hard on the nearest chair.
~ "A strike! Great Scott, what
= - about?'
Its absolutely beyond me- replied
Elizabeth Farnum. "It's just left me
bereft of any little understanding | might
have had. don't see it at ALL Here is
all | know about it: Ten days ago a
Committee of three of the paper-makers
waited on me here in the office. They
were courteous enough, and, though |
didn't understand enough about the tech
nical points to know precisely what they
were after in some eases, they had drawn
up a paper of demands, which they left
with me.
"The principal points were for closed
shop, an eight-hour day instead of nine,
slight increase in wages, and double
time, instead Of time and half, for
night work. Then there were minor
demands, such as remodeling the wash
rooms, and things like that.
Il gathered that they have brought
walking delegate, or whatever you call
him, here to advise them. But the CEN
trail figure is one of our own men, named
Schopp. Perhaps you've seen him?-a

whom could turn except Mr.. Rouss.
First thought of wiring you to come
right back. But it did seem a pity to
bother you, when your letters showed the
progress you were making; and, besides,

what did he say?"
"After he read the paper he threw it on
the desk and said, Wen show them who's
running this place, Miss Farnum! Give
way to those fellows one inch, and they'll
crowd you out!'
But under the circumstances told
him, it might be well to make concessions.
Perhaps some of these demands should be
granted as matter Of justice.
@Not a concession!' said Mr.. Rouss.
If you leave it to me, I'll settle them in
short order
"What could do, Mr.. Hyatt? He
seemed so confident of being able to
manage the situation, and have gone
over his head so many times, it looked
sensible at the moment to give him
leave to go ahead
"And he settled it," remarked Hyatt
dryly.
Eyes, he settled it. He told the men
that we would not treat with them unless
they went back to their places first. The
men gave their answer day before yes
terday. They stopped everything at
three o'clock in the afternoon, and filed
quietly out of the plants, without any
noisy demonstration or mischief. And
now-l'm so discouraged don't know
which way to turn.
3Just when things were going SO well,
Mr.. Hyatt! Oh, wonder if it's true,
as MIR. Rouss said, that the men in the
plants have no respect for woman at
the head Of the business? Have been
wrong all the time in trying to do some
thing-something-?
"Oh, ] believe if representative Of
the Trust should come along this min
ute with the papers ready to sign, I'd
just let everything go and sell to
them!T
Her lips trembled as she spoke, and her
eyes were wet with tears.
mo, you wouldn't, Miss Farnum!"
cried Hyatt quickly. @You wouldn't give
up like that You may sell to them some
time, but you won't do it because you're
in corner. You won't do it under
compulsion!"
Under the pressure Of his faith, Eliza
beth Farnum's head went erect again.
Talk to me like that she burst out.
@Say those things to me! Oh, if you had
been here I'm sure this wouldn't have
happened. Give me courage to go on,
Mr.. Hyatt. You-you are the only one
who seems able to do it! Tell me to
hold on, to fight it out. Tell me what
to do!'

don't know how things stand Is there
no one, of all your employees, who seems

"Oh, yes' was the glad reply. "Three
of dads oldest men came to me this
morning, with tears in their eyes, telling
me they never, never would have done it
except they were forced to. Though they
didn't say so, think they were threat

Eyes; here it is.
Hyatt read the typewriter document
carefully. Then he read it through again,
more closely, before he put it down. The
young woman was watching him with
pathetic hopefulness, as if she half ex-

similar to those Of the British army
have been organized.
Camps have been laid out for infan-

have been established for American

The Matin says the arrival Of the

The naval collier Jupiter has arrived
in France. Secretary Daniels announced
today. laden with 10.500 tons OF wheat
from an American port without any
intimation of her voyage having been
given out in advance. and Is now at
anchor in a French port.
The Jupiter is one of the largest col

built. and her performance was so good
that 1t led to the adoption of electric
drive for all new battleships and battle
cruisers. the American navy being the
only one in the world to adopt this type
Of propulsion. The Jupiter was built
at Mare Island navy yard. San Fran
cisco. and she has high speed for an
auxiliary naval vessel. which would en-
able her to. escape submarine attacks
under any but unusual circumstances.
Secretary Daniels did not specify

Attorney General Pleased.

Attorney General Gregory reiterated
his qualification over the absence Of
emnt from the Department of Justice
said:
The reports received at the department
throughout the day from officers and
agents In widely separated sections Of the
country reflected the same absence Of
trouble and general response to the pro-
visions OF the conscrfption act that char
actertxed the reports received yesterday.
The reports Indicate that the registration
may exceed materially the estimates pre-
pared by the War Department on a basis
Of census figures Department officials
have been led by the heaviness Of the
registration to believe that the number Of
evasions of the law will prove even fewer
than has been anticipated.
Already several arrests have been made
because Of the willful refusal Of the in
dfviduals in question to register. and the
officers and agents Of the department,
acting on the instructions given them sew
eral days ago, will continue to take men
into custody wherever such cases come to
their attention and prosecute them in ac-
cordance with the criminal provisions of
the selective draft act
The fact that a man has registered
does not in any way curtail his freedom
OF action. Until he Is actually selected.
he is at liberty to go as he pleases
he may do 80. but he must return i'm
mediately II he is selected for the
draft"
1t was intimated at the provost mar
much of the preliminary work had al
ready been done that the boards task
might be completed within two weeks.
though no definite statement to this ef-
fect could be made. If the board is
able however. to arrange the details Of
the first draft In the suggested time the
actual draft. II was said, would not be
long delayed thereafter.

Result Highly Creditable.

the submarine was sunk by q shot from
the Silvershell or submerged voIun.
tarily to avoid further punishment. II
was always impossible. he said, to a..
certain whether a submarine which
disappeared had been destroyed unless
wreckage was discovered later None
the less. he considered the result of
this engagement highly creditable to
the Silvershell.
News of this occurrence was received
with immense satisfaction by the.
French public, coming after the an
nouncement that an American squadron
had arrived at a French port. Admiral
Lacaze referred to the value OF this
cooperation and laid emphasis on the.
multiplication Of patrols with the as.
sistance of hydroplanes as the quickest
way Of disposing of submarines.

This morning. after the bombardmenf

river and the Laon road and northwest
Of Braye-en-Laonnois. the Germans de-
livered several attacks at various
points in this sector. Two attempts
against the Bots du Mortier. north OF
yauxallon, broken down Immediately
by our fire. gave to the enemy no other
result than appreciable losses.
THE Germans concentrated their ef-
forts north of the Chemin des Danes.
where they attacked on the front OF
Pantheon-La Coyere farm. The enemy
attack, repulsed in its entirety, was
not able to reach our lines except at
one point south of Filain. In the neigh
borhood of our Bovettes salient. after
a stubborn engagement. some trench
elements of the first line remained in
the hands of the enemy. Everywhere
else our assailants were driven back to
their own trenches"
