GOGGLES FOR SOLDIERS.
Uncle Sam Finds Them Valuable for,
His Men On the Border

As result of the experience of troops
on the Mexican border. goggles have
been added to the military equipment
of Uncle Sans soldiers. When the
troops went to the frontier they found
it necessary to protect their eyes from
the glare of the sun and the sands
storms. Many of them purchased Cog
giles for the purpose out of their pri-
vate funds. They have proved SO use
full as preventives of serious eye trou-
BILE that the War Department now
classes them as a necessary part OF
equipment and will issue them gratui-
tously to all troops serving on the
border or wherever else they may be
needed. In addition to these ordinary
goggles special eye protectors will be
issued to aviators and automobile
drivers.

The trying period through which

last YEAR Of THE WAR,
SAY BRITISH SOLDIERS
Agree in Believing That 1917 Will
See End of the World
Conflict.

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, via London, January 1.-The
arrival of 1917 was welcomed on the
western front by the British and
French soldiers as a beginning of the
end of the great world war. There
may be varying views and theories as
to how the end is to be brought about,
but there Is no question that through
out the British army there is convic-
ton that the next twelve months will
bring a victorious peace to the allies
Opinion among the British and
French fighters as to how the war Will
end is divided into two schools. TIL
one believes that Germany will be will
ing to grant extreme concessions and
the other that only military pressure
will bring them the fruits of victory.
Both schools are, however, agreed that
this is the decisive year.
Guns Boom the New Year.
On most sectors Of the British front
the New Year made its bow with little
ceremony. So many flares and rockets
are sent up from the trenches on these
long dark winter nights that it is i'm
possible to say how many o. these last
night were in honor Of 1917. There is
one section, however, where the British
artillery followed the practice adopted

salvos against their enemy from guns

tant part OF the line to give the neces
sary instructions.
Difference in Time Needed.
In sending this fiery greeting to the
Germans there was further complica-
ton of difference of time, the Germans
observing continental time. which is
one hour ahead of the British an6
French clocks. To avoid all doubt the

Low black clouds scudded over the
battle area the last night Of the old
year. and its successor was borne on
a bowling wind which caught up and
carried away the thunder Of the guns.
The grim booming was swept far be-
yond the battle lines until 1t mingled
with the church bells summoning the

PLATE Printers ORGAN
SCORES Director RALPH
Editor Declares Bureau Chiefs OBJ
lection to J. J. Deviny's Absence
From Duties Indefensible.

That objection should be made to the
loss of time by John ]. Deviny, presi-
dent of the Plate Printers Union, from
his duties in the bureau of engraving
and printing to attend to the business
of that organization before Congress
seems indefensible to P. j. Ryan, editor
of the Plate Printer, official organ of
the union. In an extended statement
issued today, Editor Ryan replied to q
recent statement of the director of the
bureau, Joseph T. Ralph, who declined
to grant further leave to President Dew
my on the score that he had ben abb
sent from his work more than half of
the time during the past two and a
half years.
A comparison Is made with the loss of
time from his work in the bureau by
George P. Foster while chairman of the
executive committee Of the Plate Print
ers' Union. Editor Ryan suggests that 1t
would be interesting to make public tho
time card Of Mr.. Foster for 1911 and Eve
years prior thereto.
while Mr.. Foster was chairman of
he was allowed to go In and out of
the bureau at all times and whenever he
desired. He was never asked any Ques-
tons about his movements
Director Makes a Precedent.
None of Mr.. Devinys predecessors

ton business. declares Editor Ryan.
Never before, he asserts, has the d.
rector of the bureau insisted upon the
president or chairman of the executive
committee stating further than that he
desired leave to attend to organizati4A
business: whereas Director Ralph now
objects to the failure of President Deviny
TO state that he was to appear before

Ralph that no official notice was re-

Gives Three Reasons for Action.
I'VE can only account for tho di.
