INVESTIGATING ORIGIN

Aver, Mass, Nov. 2-The investiga- ton of the origin of the fire that de- stroyed the officers barracks of the 303rd Heavy Field Artillery last night, had not been fully completed tonight but it was said semi-officiallv that all evidence pointed to an oil stove as the cause On account of this and previous fires orders have been issued that no oil stoves shall be left burn ing alone in any room in the can tonment-

The Germans have retreated from points along the historic Chenin des Danes sector on the Aisne front in France, where for several months the French troJDS of General Petain had been keeping them sharply to task.
 Just where the retrograde move ment took place and how far it ex- tends cannot yet be told, as the Ger man official communication announc- ing 1t merely says that the Teutons, 'unnoticed and undisturbed by the en- emy' systematically withdrew their lines from the hilly front in this re- zion The entire line to the north last reported as facing the French, is undull ting in character from the Sois- sons sector eastward to the vicinity of Craonre .nd therefore it is iInpos- sibis to delirnit from the rather terse acknowledgment Of withdrawal the ter rain which has been given up
 Nevertheless, it seems aparent that the Germans, tired of the terrible ordeal they had been forced to under go for some time from the French ar tiIIery and violent infantry attacks hare decided to fall back upon Laon, capital of the department of the Aisne, has been the quest of the French. It is possible, and seemingly probable, that the withdrawal of the Germans will compel also the falling back of the German forces in the turn of the bat fle line in this region running north ward to St Quentin, if, indeed it does not affect the German positions as far north as Arras-

 Willing to Grant Credit.
 The American government appar- ent1y is entirely willing to grant further requests for credit.
 It has granted Russia's requests with alacrity in the past and secretary McAdoo has announced repeatedly that the treasury would place money wherever it would be most effectivS in fighting Germany.
 So expeditiously has the treasury acted in establishing Russian credits that until today Russia had not ex- pended the first of three credits es- tablished for her benefit in this coun- try. totalling $325, 1000 900.
 The formal transfer today to Rus sian account of $31, TOO 900 from the treasury to the federal reserve bank of New York brought the total she has withdrawn up to $190,900 900, or $15 = 300 900 more than the first credit of $175, 900 900 granted her.
 There still remains available for Russian expenditures for munitions. leather. iron, railway equipment and other needed commodities, $134 100.0 without the authorization of another credit and there is every indication that if another credit were needed it would be grante promptly.

STRIKE AT FORE RIVER SHIPBUILDING PLANT Is Delaying the Launching of I've
 Government Vessels.

Quincy, Mass, Nov. 2.-The strike of $500 employees of the Fore River plant of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding company is declared to have been re- sponsible for the failure of the ccm- pany to carry out plans to launch two government vessels today. Work on both vessels is said to have been stop ped temporarily
 George Gardner, chairman of the committee of the machinists union, asserted that the delay in launching Was1due 10 the unpatriotic action of the company" as shown in its atti- tude toward the men, rIther than to the action of the strikers.
 The machinists' chairman said that the grievance of the strikers had to do~ with the classification of the men, - &ss'The Fore River company and the men are agreed upon the navy yard prize list" said MT. Gardner, but the classification of it is totally unjust. What we were getting in classifica- tons when we went out was: ten per cent. of us first class; Is per cent. second class and T5 per cent. third class. What we want is: 40 per cent first class; 35 per cent. second class and 25 per cent. third class"
 Joseph w. Powell, administrative head of the Bethlehem interests in a statement tonight. said that in rais- ing the pay of the 5000 men ct the plant st.eVery man except in one or
 
 to the navy yard days rate next above his previous Fore River days rate" = MT. Powell said that the machinists walked out without conferring with the officers of the company and with out making any attempt to adjust any grievances.
 STheg latest raise was the biggest single~rafse ever made at this yard.
 "The government is paying practi- cally all of this increase in wages, as of the total work on this company's books, fourteen -fifteenths is for the .ilavy@ department and whatever wages we pay the employees, the navy depart raent pays back to us. We are ac- countable to the department for this raise and have not felt we could jus tIfy~oer position to it. if we had in- creased ratings further than was act ua1lY. .ddne,'

 The announcement that five of the men were drowned indicated to ofh- cials that the Finland's company left the vessel in small boats until it was made. certain that she would remain af1oat. The capsiZing of one of the boats in launching might account for the drowning of the men. It Is assumed that two of the armed guards were killed by the explosion of the torpedo and that the missing one probably was blown overboard by the explosion, as was a seaman on the destroyer Cassin. when she was tor Iedoed recently.

SCARCITY OF WINDOW
 MEMBERSHIP CARDS
Is Delaying Work of Securing Signed
 Food Card Pledges.

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 2. - Reports received at the food administration headquarters here indicate that a scarcity of window membership cards had retarded the work of securing signed food card pledges many women hesitating to sign the cards without receiving the window display card. This, it was reported was especially true in Stamford.
 The receipt today at headquarters of about 50.000 of these cards brought relief to this situation, and an auto bile was at once started south with the cards leaving supplies in Mericen, New Haven. Bridgeport, Norwalk and Stamford on the outward trip, return ing by way of Naugatuck and Water bury. At New Haven sufficient cards were left for distribution in smaller surrounding towns
 About 14,000 signed food cards were received in the mails today being four times as many as on any previous day and it is estimated that about 50,O0O have so far been turned in. From Bridgeport came two packages con- taining about 5000 cards.
