Copenhagen, Oct. 4.-Leaders OF
various groups of German laborers
were received at German main head
quarters yesterday afternoon not for
the purpose of congratulating Field
Marshall Hindenburg on his birthday
as first intimated, but in an effort to
have German workmen speed up
production Of munitions.
The leaders submitted to General
Won Ludendorff, 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 improve
ments Of the condition Of labor and
increasing the output Of munitions.
Recently private but trustworthy
reports have been received by the
Associated Press that the German
authorities were experiencing difficulty
in preventing. the falling off in the
production of munitions owing to the
lowering Of working capacity Of the
individual, underfed workman and the
scarcity of certain raw materials

France, Oct. A. Major General Per-
shing today watched battalion of
Major General Sibert's command as it
stormed and took three supposed ene-
my trneches which had been named
Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt for the oc-
casion. The exercise was part of a
program of battalion problems which is
being carried out daily and which will
be developed gradually into regimental,
brigade and divisional attacks.
In addition to General Pershing, sew
eral French officers witnessed today's
imaneuvers, after which they were criti-
cized by French and American OBJ
servers, and by the general himself.
He said that in taking the three
trenches the soldiers, he noticed, did
not use their rifles. This. he thought,
a mistake.
you must not forget that the rifle
is distinctly an American weapon" said
the general II want to see it en-
ployed. There surely will be plenty OF
opportunity for its use and il you are
unfamiliar with the weapon you will
lose those opportunities. Bayonets and
bombs are all right and very valuable
but rife fire still has a place in modern
warfare"

soldiers in this war who had been

them. II they had fought they might

the rifle. Some time ago the American
/ officials here decided to devote much
attention to musketry but neither the
French nor the British instructors are
inclined to spend much time on that
phase Of warfare, having become ae-
customed to the method of attacking
wholly with bombs, bayonets and ma
chine guns.
American soldiers have always been
fine marksmen, and the officers still

and defensive purposes. The practice
