Eleven Victoria Crosses Are Given; One Man

CAPTURES BLOCKHOUSE

LONDON, Sept 3 .-(Via Reuters Ottawa Agency) - Further stirring stories of heroism are related in the Official Gazette in announcing the awards of eleven new Victoria Cross 3s. One of these is the splendid record of an officer of the Medical Corps. It reads:
 Captain Noel Chavasse, late of he Medical Corps, though severely wounded early in the action while carrying a wounded soldier to the dressing station, Captain Chavasse refused to leave his post and for two days not only continued to per form his duties but went out re- peatedly under heavy fire to search for and attend the wounded. Al though practically without food, worn with fatigue, and faint with his wounds, he assisted a number of badly wounded men over difficult ground. His extraordinary energy and inspiring example were instru- mental in rescuing many wounded men who would otherwise undoubt- edly have succumbed. This devoted nd gallant officer subsequently died If his wounds.
 Cool As If On Parade
 Brig Gen. Clifford Coffin,-When lis command was held up in an at tack owing to the heavy machine gun and rifle fire from front and right flank he went forward and in- spected the front posts. Though un Ter the heaviest machine-gun and rifle fire and in full view of the enemy, he showed an utter disregard of personal danger, walking quietly rom shell hole to shell hole and cheering the men by his presence. lis very gallant conduct had the greatest effect on all ranks and it was largely owing to his personal courage and example that the shell hole line was held throughout the day. His calm courage and cheer ness exercised the greatest influence over every one with whom he came n contact, and it is generally agreed hat his splendid example saved the situation and that but for his action the line would certainly have been driven back.
 Magnificent Act
 "Sergt. Edward Cooper, Rifle Corps.-Enemy machine guns from 2 concrete blockhouse 250 yards away were holding up. the advance of battalion on his feft and were also causing heavy casualties to his own battalion. Sergt. Cooper with four men immediately rushed for ward to the blockhouse, although 'lnder heavy fire. At a distance of about 100 yards he ordered his men to lie down and fire at the block house. Finding this did not silence the machine guns, he immediately rushed forward straight at it and fired his revolver into the opening in the blockhouse The machine yuns and forty-five prisoners were captured in the blockhouse. By this magnificent act of courage he uin- doubtdly saved what would have been serious check to the advance, besides saving a great number of lives"

INDUSTRIAL PEACE NECESSARY

The necessity industrial peace in these cess of plans for preventing strikes and lockouts now being matured in Washington is practically as sured
 The policy suggested by representatives of the manufacturers the Defense Council is that con ditions existing before the shall be taken fair both the employers and the men, except where rising prices and other changes in economic condi tons demand corresponding changes in labor con tracts.
 This reference conditions prevailing before the basis is to apply to wages, hours and the question whether any establishment shall be con- ducted open closed shop. It is to be agreed also that there will be demand for changes in the laws relating to labor except with the approval of the Defense Council It is also suggested that labor disputes shall be referred to board on which the Government and the interested parties shall be rep resented and that the decisions of the board shall be final
 This pan as a whole seems likely to work out fairly There may be trouble if the demand for la bor in a closed shop should become so great that the unions could supply the men. In that sit nation the work might go to open shop to the injury of the closedshop proprietor or if the pro- prfetor attempted to open shop temporarily there might be serious strikes
 Troubles of this sort encountered in Eng land where the unions finally agreed to reduce the severity of their rules as a temporary war measure
 But any plan will succeed only as 1t is worked
