Hill 3o4, the last remaining important
stronghold of the Germans fronting Yer

day. The French infantry, who had al
most encircled the hill in previous at

a brilliant dash and carried them by
storm, capturing the remainder Of the
Germans entrenched there.
Not content with this splendid achieve

Two YEARS MORE
To Reduce Entire World
to Same Shortage of
Food as Germany

Washington. Aug. 24.-Two more
years of war will reduce the entire
world to the same shortage Of food
as now exists in Germany according
to scientists in that country who have
compiled statistics to support their
statement.
ACTING on this statement. the Ger
man government is urging its people
to continue the war two years more,
declaring that If it is done Germany
cannot be defeated because the coun-
tries at war with her will not endure
the hardshps which the Germans are
willing u undergo.

Story of the Riot
The riot was a climax to minor trou-

military police who were guarding Camp
Logan, the mobilization camp for the Illi-

ed about 9 o'clock. Stealing company
ammunition, about l25 of the Negroes
seized their rifles and left the camp start

inately.
Warning Immediately was given and
mounted police officers sought to halt the
mob, surrendering their lives in vain ef-

HOLD STRIKE
Until Control Board Is
Given Opportunity
Campaign Against Manufacture of
Army and Navy Clothes Under I'm.

Three Shops Organized

Boston, Aug. 24-Louts KRISTEN,
named by Secretary OF War Baker as
chairman Of the board Of control for
labor standards in the manufacture Of
army clothes) is identified with the
William Filene's Co., a large depart
ment store. Mr.. KRISTEN could not be
reached tonight.
Campaign Begins
A campaign against the manufac-
ture of army and navy clothes under
improper conditions began here today
when three shops were organized und-
er the direction of officials of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America. 1t became known tonight
that the appointment of the board of
control by Secretary Baker had been
communicated to the general execu-
tive committee of the union at its
annual session here last week and that
the committee had virtually agreed TO
refrain from any strike measures until
the control board had an opportunity
to make a thorough investigation. The
action of the union officials today
therefore was a surprise.
Demands Formulated
Demands to be presented to the en-
ployers were formulated at a shop
meeting of the workers. They call
for 4S-hour week and for a restora-
ton of the former wage scale, which
recently was reduced. Union officials
stated that the conditions in the three
shops had become 'Unbearable." At
one shop the employees say the hours
are from $50 A. NJ. to P. NJ. with
only on hour for dinner at noon. At
another shop the employees claim they
are working SO IL hours a weeks with
less wages than they received 10 weeks
ago when they working only so hours.

Labor Standards in Army
Clothes Manufacture.

Washington, Aug. 24-Creation of a
board of control Immediately for labor
standards in the manufacture Of army
clothes to prevent government work
being done under sweatshop methods
was announced today by Secretary
Baker. Louis KRISTEN of Boston is
chairman.
Other Members Of Board
The other members are Mrs. Flor
ence Kelley, general secretary Of the
National Consumers League, New
York, and Captain Walter E. Kruesi, a
reserve officer Of the quartermaster's
corps.
Through this board" Secretary
Bakers statement said, "the quarter
master-general will be enabled to en-
force the maintenance of sound indus
trial and sanitary conditions In the
manufacture Of army clothing to in
spect factories TO see that proper
standards are established on govern
ment work. to pass upon the indus
trial standards maintained by bidders
in army clothing. and act so that lust
conditions prevail"
The secretary thought the net re-
suit Of the plan would be to expedite
production since new facilities would
be opened to the department in this
way and the danger Of labor troubles
reduced.

Copenhagen, Aug. 24-An Austria,
which is literarily crying for peace,
which has discarded any thought of
territorial expansion and is even will
ing to buy its way out Of the war by
territorial sacrifices on the Italian
front and in Galicia; an Austria of
frequent food riots, unable to last
through another winter of war; an
Austria whose population would rise
in revolution if any reasonable peace
offer were rejected by the government,
is pictured by an intelligent Austrian
who has arrived here from Vienna.

ent today he told a story which though
possibly unduly pessimistic, explains

may be maintained with money.
Food Riots in Many Places
Nevert heless, he said. there have been
food riots in many places during the
summer These usually were of minor
character and as a rule without loss of
life. l. was his opinion that they would
assume a more serious character If the
