To Remove All Shelters.
General Pershing has been given In

there will be few physical traces left,

CHILD LABOR DAY
Washington Clergy Observe oeea'
sion BY Pertinent Sermons.

Child Labor Day" instituted by
the National Child Labor Committee.
was observed today in many Washing
ton churches.
Bishop Harding sent a letter to
Episcopal clergymen asking that they
mention the occasion in their sery-
ices today. Other denominations
through their pastors, promised to do
the same thing.
Among those who preached special
sermons today on the subject are the
Rev. ]. J. Dimon, of st. Andrews
Church: the Rev. Everett VI. Thomp-
son, Of the Nativity Chapel, and the
Rev. John r. Esais, OF Gorsuch
Methodist Episcopal Church. Others
made mention Of the subject in the
course OF their sermons.
Hebrew Observance Yesterday.
Hebrew congregations observed the
day yesterday, an tomorrow the mat
ter Is to be brought to the attention
of school children.
The observance OF the day results
from an appeal of the National Child
Labor Committee which stated:
I'VE were somewhat afraid there
would be a tendency TO withdraw sup
port from the work of the committee
under the misapprehension that the
Federal law ended the child labor
problem. but 1t is evident from the
thousands Of promises to observe
Child Labor Day that people are
keenly alive to the Importance OF the
| work which remains to be done"
Task stIII Remains
The work remaining. as explained
| inpulpits today, is that of bringing
each community and State into line
with the ideals embodied to the Fed
eral enactment. That law applies
only to products made for Interstate
sale. The stamping out OF child labor
in stores. shops, factories, and other
industrial enterprises which operate
within the State. still is a subject for

German Offensive Develops Heavy
Artillery Duel, Paris Reports.

PARIS, Jan. 2s.-LIvsly artillery
fire in the region Of Hill 3O4 and
Dead Mans Hill, around Verdun, and
on the right bank Of the Meuse, was
reported in the latest official state
ment
The lighting on the right bank OF
the Meuse centered in the sectors OF
Louyemont and Caurieres Wood,
northeast OF Fort Dousurnont
The statement also reported Ger
man fortifcations in Parroy forest,
Lorraine, were '1destructively shelled-"
The above indicates continuation
of heavy activity around Verdun and
bears out predictions that there might
be another German move In the
Douaumont sector. or the opposite
bank % the Meuse to Dead Mans
Hill and Hill 304. since II mentions
the artillery firing also on the right
bank"
Ever since the Germans first sought
to conquer verdun they have alter

 For the most part it was hand-to-hand engagement and the Italians fell upon the Teutons with fury not duplicated any of the engagements of the present The carnage was fearful Thousands of the enemy per- ished in twnkng. The fight described as being one of the most ghtf and the most glorious victory m the history of wars.
 The Teuton forces were annhIated at the most vital point which threatened the possession of the City of Venice. sw
 The enemy staked everything on reaching the west bank of the river and fought Friday and Saturday to that end Their progress was made difficult by the flood gates of the Piave and Se rivers having been opened by Italian engineers However, despite wther ing fire from machine guns large forces of Teutons crossed the river and found lodgment on the west bank
