MILTON.

Copenhagen, Oct. 4.-Leaders Of va
rious groups of German labor were re-
ceived at main army headquarters
this week not for the purpose of con
graduating Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg on his birthday as first was
intfmated, but in an effort 20 have
German worimen sped up the pro
duction of munitions.
The leaders submitted to General
Won Ludendorc, the chief. quarter
master general complaints of the
laboring classes. These dealt partic-
ularly with the operation of the com
pulsory labor service law. A lengthy
conference was devoted to- discussing
the possible Improvement of labor
and the maintenance of the output OF
munitions which Gen. Won Ludendorfl
declared was the cardinal duty of the
hour
Recently private, but trustworthy
reports, have been received by the AS
sociated Press that the German auth
critics were experiencing difficulty in
preventing a falling off in the produc-
ton of munitions owing to the lower
ing of the working capacity of the in
dividual, under-fed workmen and the
scarcity of certain raw materials, not
ably the more rare metals used in the
manufacture of high grade steels
There have been persistent reports
that nickel was embarrassingly short
in Germany. 1t is doubtful also if Ger
many will be able to keep pace with
further increases in Anglo-American
production if, indeed, it is now even
holding it's own.
Reliable reports from so widely sep
arated sectors of the western front as
Flanders and the Argonne, say that
the German artillery has strict orders
to spare ammunition in every way
possible.
