Over Negro Worker

Schenectady, June 19.-Seyen thou
sand union machinists and the Cen
eral Electric Company officials are
Gcadlocked to-day in the strike which
was declared yesterday, when George
i. Emmons, general manager, refused
to accede to the demand Of the union
that a negro college student, employed
as drill press operator, be discharged
or removed to another building.
Work on millions of dollars worth
of government contracts is at stand
still, and the Intervention Of the gov
eminent is momentarily expected.
Mr.. Emmons to-day assured a com.
mittee of strikers that the company
had no intention of replacing white
machinists with negro operators, and
he declared false a widely circulated
report that hundreds of negro workers
would be imported from the South for
work in the shops.
Two mediators, Patrick J. Downey
and James McManus, Of the State In
dustrial Commission, conferred with
representatives of the men and COM
pany officials to-day. An international
officer of the Machinists' Union is eI.
pected tomorrow.

To Danish Fancy
Dishes on Broadway
Hoover's Advice To Be Re.
Elected in Curtailed Menus
of Restaurants

Tid-bits and fancy dishes may be
discarded in the hotels and restaurants
along Broadway as "A result of tele-
gram sent to Food Administrator
Hoover by the Society of Restaura-
tours Of New York, representing ap-
proximately 1000 restaurants, employ
ing 100000 persons, and doing an an
nual business of about $1,000, 0OO,OOO.
The society recommends the elimlna-
tion of ali waste and offers the CO.
operation of its organization IN any
steps which Mr.. Hoover may suggest.
Some of the restaurants already have
taken measures to place their patrons
on a war diet. Patrick Kyne, mana
ger Of Murray's, announced that only
two styles of potatoes baked and
boiled-are now being served there.
Another source of economy ne
said, would be TO keep a strict watch
on the scraps of meat which have been
thrown away or turned over TO the
SOAP makers. I'm sure that few Amer
leans would object to just plain out
and-out American food cooked in the
simplest manner without all the waste
full frills."
1t is said that if the "a la" dishes
are abolished it will result in daily
saving of about 10000.

Floods a Failure
In Barring Pursuit
Of German Army
Teutons Disappointed in
Attempting to Create
Moat Along Disc

fCorrespordenc- % The Associated Pressl
French Front. June 10.--The Germans
have not had so much success as the
Belgians further north in using floods
as a barrier of defence along the line
of the Disc.
The river. when il passes northward
of the devastated town of Chauny, now
in the hands of the French, takes a
sinuous course through marshy, low
lying lands. and the Germans, after
their forced retreat, endeayored, by
damming at various places. to place a
wide stretch of water between them
selves and the pursuing French troops.
Extending north from the Forest Of
st. Gobain almost TO ST. Quentin, they
succeeded for a time in covering the
intervening country with water, and La
Fere, Achery, Mayot, Brissay- Choigny,
Brissy, Hamegicourt and Bertenicourt
stood OUT like islands. The nature of
the soil and the dry weather of>the
spring disappointed their hopes of ere
ating a permanent moat in front Of
their new positions, and a tour Of the
French front lines in this vicinity to-
day showed that scarcely a trace of the
foundations remained.
Germans Sheltered in Woods
Far away to the north and east
spread undulating lands offering little
opportunity for the construction OF de-
fensive positions, but to the south and
east were the great forest-covered
ridges of st. Gobain and the Upper
Forest of Coucy, behind which lies
Laon. 1t was impossible even in the
clearest light to penetrate the mys-
teries of these deep woods. where the
Germans enjoyed splendid cover.
The roar of thousands Of cannon
coming from further south and east
told of the tense struggle in progress
for the possession of the Chemin- des-
Danes, which the French have held
firmly ever since it fell into their
hands during the fighting of April, and
where they have fought back every des-
perate attempt of the Germans TO re-
capture il in counter attacks delivered
day after day and night after night.

French Senator
Learns Tailoring
AS War Prisoner
Returns to Office for First
Time Since 1914; Tells
of His Humiliation
rcorrespoudenoc o, Tho A,,ocla,ed pre.,1

fCouepondenoo o. Tie Associated Pressl
Paris, June 10. - Auguste Potic, an
important brick manufacturer. Senator
from the Department of the Nord and
Mayor of Haubourdin, has just made
his first appearance in the Senate since
the spring of 1914, and announced TO
his colleagues that he had in the mean
time learned the trade of tailor in a
German prison.
Senator Potie was sent to prison in
July, 1915. for having reminded the
commanding officer of the occupying
forces, who happened to be Greek
officer in the service Of Germany, that
Article 80 of the Hague Convention was
contrary to the forced employment of
the inhabitants in invaded districts on
work of a military nature for the BEN
eft of the invaders.
Haubourdin is only three miles from
the battle front, and the inhabitants
were called upon for all sorts of SER
vice, burdened with excessive requisi-
tions and loaded with fines and vexa-
lions of all sorts.
Girls Go on Strike
Ten young girls in the Saint Angus
tin Orphan Asylum at Haubourdin had
been ordered by the Germans to make
burlap sacks. When they learned that
the sacks were to be filled with sand
and used as ramparts against the
French they refused TO work. VI. Cor
donnier, director of the fax mill from
which was requisitioned the material TO
make the sacks, was held responsible
for the strike, and on his refusal TO
undertake the manufacture of the sacks
was fined 1000 francs and held as host
age until the work should be resumed.
Captain Argyropoulos, the Greek Off =
Ger in command, then summoned Potie
70 furnish the sacks. He refused. The
German commander fined him 1000
francs, while most severe measures
were taken against the entire popula-
ton. Subsequently, VI. Potie and NJ.
Cordonnier were both fined 500 francs
by General Krug Won Nida, command
ing the oath Division at Lambersart. A
few days later, after he had posted a
letter invoking the Hague treaty, Potie
was arrested.
Condemned in Prison
Both he and NJ. Cordonnier were con-
demned, without having appeared be-
fore any tribunal, TO pay fines of 5000
francs and TO serve one year in prison.
the terms of prison to be increased
eleven months in default of payment Of
the fines. Confined at Loos, then at
AK la Chapelle and Cologne, they were
finally taken TO the prison Of Siegburg.
There their heads were shaved, they
were clothed in prison garb, and were
set TO learning the tailoring trade.
Last year Senator Potie was sent
back to Haubourdin without explsna-
ton. He refused to resume his func-
tions as Mayor, replying to the Ger
mans that after having been imprisoned
with convicts his dignity as French
man prevented him from resuming the
functions Of Mayor so long as the town
was occupied by the Germans.
VI. Cordonnier, who is nearly seventy,
is still prisoner of the Germans.

Fliers in Lafayette Squadron
Nl,r Recon,e Fxners with Bow and Arrow When Not
Aerial Hunting Trips; Two Lion Cubs
Begule Men in Off lime

come into the war. There is no excite
ment. Each man gives his verbal re
port of what he has observed on his
flight. and notes are taken by the OIL
ficer in charge. Then the airmen peel
off their overalls and almost at once
some game is begun. II may be quoits
played with horseshoes, or perhaps
football or archery. Some of them,
however, pass much of their time IN
reading American magazines and news
papers when obtainable, which is not
always possible. Others turn their at
tention to the squadron's mascots, OF
which there are several, including two
lion cubs and a great sheepdog.
The lion cubs are great favorites.
The eldest of them, Whisky, is now
over year old and has been with the
squadron since last fall. lie is not at
all vicious and knows every member of
the squadron, all of whom teach him
tricks. His chief companion is the
sheepdog, with whom he occupies a
kennel, and the two animals afford
great fun. For the present the dog
shows the strongest character and i'm
poses his will on the lion. The smaller
lion is only about three months old.
and. although he is gradually becoming
accustomed to his surroundings, he is
somewhat more inclined to be savage
than the older one. The junior has
received the name of Soda.
Satisfied in French Army
The member of the Lafayette SqIad-
ron are perfectly satisfied with their
position as volunteers in the French
army, in which some of them have
fought almost since the beginning OF
the war. All began at the lowest rank,
but have since won chevrons as cor
porals, sergeants, adjutants or lieuten-
ants, just like the French aviators.
They express some curiosity as TO what
their position will be when other
American squadrons come across the
Atlantic, as it is hoped they will do
soon. A large proportion of these men
are. in the opinion of their officers,
well qualified TO act as squadron lead
eTt, and their experience gained in con-
slant touch with actual battle condi-
tions would prove of the greatest value
to newcomers.
II was not known at the time of the
correspondents visit whether the La
fayette Squadron was to be incorpo-
rated with the American army or 70
retain its position as volunteer unit
of the French army. For the present
the American airmen retain their
French sky-blue uniforms and the
marks of their rank in the French
army in which they have gained their
fame. They have won the esteem and
admiration of their French comrades
by their service, and they themselves
are proud to have fought under the tri-
color.
