 CHICAGO, Nov. "A demand for wage increases for the 200, 900 men be- longing to the Brotherhood of Rail- road Trainmen and the Order of Rail- way Conductors will be submitted to the railroads of the United States, it was decided today by the chief execu- lives of both organizations at the end of a weeks sessions here.
 W. c. Lee, president of the trainmen, tonight declined to announce what in- crease would be asked. He intimated, however, it was not more than 25 per cent. Members Of the switchmen's union in session here week ago gave notice of a demand for 50 per cent increases.
 President Lee intimated tonight that the action would be followed by the unions of the railroad engineers and firemen and locomotive employees who shared with the trainmen and con- ductors the advantages of the Adam son eight hour law enacted year ago.

PRISONERS DIARY
 HIS OBSERVATIONS

IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 BRITISH FRONT IN BELGIUM, Nov. 4.-(By the Associated Press)- Belgian women and girls are Leing compelled to build concrete dugouts under military fire. This statement is made in the diary of a German soldier who was recently captured. He belonged to a Landwehr division and was personally in charge of a large numoer of these unfortunate Belgians, who were daily herded to- getner and taken to a zone near the German lines to perform manual la bOr of tfe hardest kind in constant danger of death. The soldiers diary tells the story as follows:
 I am going to give another in stance of the inefficiency of the Ger man authorities. Since the eighteenth instant fifty women and young girls have been working at concrete dug outs at Leke. As Leke is in the zone of fire and was shelled no later than yesterday, this is another case in which we cannot understand the action of the authorities. If this isn't taken by way of reprisal, then it is shameful deed on the part of Germany which cannot be sur passed even in imagination. The civ ! evacuated or weeks ago and now women and children are compelled to work at the concrete dugouts of the i village. I am sure of the facts which I state, for it is my duty to take a gang of AZ women to Leke every morning and bring them back in the evening""
 l An niustration of the German dis regard for the laws of war and hu manity can be found in an incident ] W hich occurred the other night nea1 i Houtholst forest.
 The British heard cries of "stretcher ! hearers!" from No Mans Land. l. naturally was assumed that a wound i ed man was calling for help and Red | Cross bearers rushed out through the ! darkness to render assistance. They were shot down by German snipers who used this ruse to entice then
 into the open.
 There have been many other cases
 recently in which German snipers have shot down Red Cross workers deliberately, notwithstanding the fac
 that German Red Cross workers have been permitted to work unmOlested.
 There have been many humors
 touched, even in the war. In the
 diary of a German prisoner the fol- , lowing notes have been found:
 At fixed periods fixed quantities
 of iron crosses are distributed to the ! troops. It matters little whether they are deserved or not-they mus be distributed. To get one, all that is necessary is that the sergeant
 major be well dressed It is unneces- i sary to deserve it; it is enough if one 1 is present at the distribution.
 Today 13 iron crosses were dis
 tributed to a company on the occasion of the first anniversary of the forma- tion of the division, and I should
 like simply to write down to whom |. they were distributed: first. the bat talion cook; second, the battalion carpenter, who makes cases for tht
 officers which they send home filled

 has been with the regiment has nevel

 This front has undergone a sweep ing change within the last few days. as the withdrawal of the Italian army to the new front west of the Taglia mento river brings the enemy into a long stretch of the upper Adriatic extending along the Gulf of Triest from Monfalcone to the south of the Tagliamento.
