a fat 10 per cent increase in wages at
once, minimum wages which represent
generally increases of 10 per cent, time
and one-half for overtime and double
time for Sunday, recognition of shop
committees, recognition of employees
right TO join unions, arbitration when

Germans Vainly Seek to
Regain Initiative at
Verdun
Canadians Are Gaining
Press On at Lens Despite
Desperate Artillery
Resistance

LONDON, Aug. THE Crown Prince
made two more costly attempts TO re-
gain the initiative in the Champagne
and at Verdun last night and this
morning. Both attacks broke down
with heavy losses and without winning
foot of ground.
Meanwhile, on the British front, the
Canadian troops last night advanced
their lines several hundred yards near
err Lens in sharp thrusts. which the
enemy's curtain of fire was unable 70
break up. At the same hour French
troops broke into the German lines at
three places on the Champagne front
and returned with prisoners after IN
f1icting losses on the defenders.
The German assault in the Nerdun
sector centred in the Courieres wood,
between Avocourt wood and Hill 3O4,
where Petain recently wrested I'M
portant positions from the enemy. Only
one detachment of German troops
reached the French trenches, and a
counter attack Immediately afterward
dislodged them from the ground, where
they had obtained an unstable foothold.
They made no further attempt on this
front.
The steady advance of the Canadians
on three sides of Lens and the per-
petual nervousness of the Germans at
that point as indicated by the erup-
ton of violent artillery fire at every
hint of British activity, suggests that
Haig is preparing for the final blow
against the coal centre, which now is
hemmed in on almost every side. The
German long-range guns have even
been pouring shells on the positions
behind Lens, such as Vimy and Farbus,
in an apparent effort TO stay the stroke,
but the Canadians are firmly intrenched
in the southern and western outskirts
of the town, and are in no danger OF
losing their grip. Observers look for
the evacuation of the city within few
days.
Violent artillery actions in the re.
gions of Bixschoote, recently captured
by the French, and near Hulluch and
along the Scarpe, indicate the early re-
sumption of Haig's great offensive,
which has been delayed by the unfavor-
able weather as well as by the necessi-
ty for consolidating the positions in
Flanders taken from the enemy. The
concentration of powerful German
forces of men and guns to meet the
new blow is reported by aerial observ-
ers.

British Naval
Heads Shifted
Second Sea Lord Burney
Gives Way to Vice-Ad-
miral Sir R. Wemyss

LONDON, Monday, Aug. 6 delayed
Official announcement was made at
the Admiralty tonight that Admiral
Sir Cecil Burney, Second Sea Lord, had
been replaced by Vice-Admiral Sir
Rosslyn Wemyss. Alan Garrett Ander-
son, hitherto vice-chairman of the
wheat commission, succeeds Sir Eric
Campbell Geddes, the new First Lord
of the Admiralty, as Controller of
Naval Construction.
The changes are attracting much at
tention and are interpreted as the first
step in a reorganization which, It is
supposed, Sir Eric Campbell Geddes,
First Lord of the Admiralty, was ap-
pointed to carry out.
In quarters where the existing Ad-
mirslty methods are regarded as UNI
satisfactory the present step is de-
nounced as "procrastinatory half
measure" and it is declared the change
! ought to have been so complete as to
"give the country a resolute and ener-
getic Admiralty permeated by an Of
I fensive spirit"
There is no implication Of incapacity
/ against Admiral Sir Cecil Burney
whose services as Admiral Jellicoe's
second in command of the Grand Fleet
are recognized. and an official an
nouncemcnt states that he will be EN-.
ployed on special duty. 1t is assumed
that as his record was made in active
command he may welcome the change
An official statement contains the an.
nouncement that opportunity is to be
/ taken with the appointment of Vice

Army of Thinking
Men, Pershing Aim
Doesn't Want Automatic
Fighters; Compares Sol
diers to Football Players

PARIS, Aug. Major General Per-
shing, commander of the American ex-
pedition in France, told The Associated
Press to-day it was highly essential
that the men in Americas conscript
army should be in excellent physical
condition, we'll disciplined and capable
of individual action. He added that
the army organization must be built
from the bottom up, each man and Of
ficer devoting all his energies to the
work. The general said:
"Our men must be in good physlcal
condition, keeping their morals clean
and thereby capable of meeting the try
ing conditions of modern warfare. The
men must learn to obey orders prompt
ly, implicitly and willingly, but not
necessarily, automatically.
81 object to the word automatic be
cause we do not want machlne-m made
organization, but an army OF thinking
men-men with individuality, men July
capable and ready to assume command
of units, should their officers be killed
or incapacitated, as sometimes happens
in trench warfare. ..
The men must be made TO realize
that war is not sport or play, but seri-
Gus work demanding the utmost energy
and attention to insure success"
General Pershing likened army or
Plantation to a football team, in which
each man is trained TO physical .perfec-
ton under strict discipline, but is capa-
bic of brilliant individual action in
crisis, and added: eve want our men
trained the same way
The general was optimistic and con-
fdent that Americas army would give
an excellent account of itself and
would come up TO the expectations Of
the other Entente Allies, despite the
tremendous amount of work necessary
before active American participation IN
trench warfare was possible.

Shaw on Visit
To Front Puzzles
British Officers
"He Talked No End of
Rot" About Boches,
One Says
By HAYWOOD BROUN

lcopyrtsh,- 1917. By Tho Tribune AsscciaiionI
Paris, July 22.-The King of England
had signed the book kept at the chateau
for visitors to the front, and the Queen
had signed it, and the King of the Bel
gians and the King Of Montenegro,
together with dozens of generals and
scores OF Members Of Parliament, but
from the middle Of page and the
middle of a group Of famous names
there fairly leaped out to my eye, sc.
Bernard Shaw"
The hand was tiny. In sense Shaw
is economical of words. He writes
many, but he writes them small. This
time economy was complete. There was
no preface TO the signature, and no
handbook or footnotes. The visitor
had simply written &c. Bernard Shaw"
snd allowed it to stand without explain
alton or comment. The officers sup
piled that.
Awful ass" said one who had met
the playwright at the front. HE was
no end of nuisance for us. Why, when
he got out here we found he was a
vegetarian, and we had TO chase around
and have omelettes fixed up for him
every day"
81 censored his stuff" said another.

almost no changes. Some of il was a
little subtle, but / let it get by"
| inquired and learned that the blue
pencil which cut the copy of G.. Bernard
Shaw had not been preserved. 1t
seemed pity.
81 heard him out here" said third
officer, land he talked no end of rot.
He said the Germans had made a botch
of destroying towns. He said he could
have done more damage 70 Arras with
hammer than the Germans did with
their shells. OF course, he couldn't
begin TO do il with a hammer, and,
anyway, he wouldn't be let. ! suppose
he never thought Of that. Then he
said that the Germans were doing W.
great favor by their air raids. He
said they were smashing up things
that were ugly and unsanitary. That's
silly. We could pull them down our
selves, you know, and, anyhow, in tbs
last raid they hit the postofiice."
THE old boys got nerve, though

laughed eand said if the Germans did
anything TO him they'd be mighty un-
grateful, after all he'd done for them.
He don't know the 'Boche."
"He told me-" added British jour
nalist, "'when | want to know about
war | talk to soldiers | asked him:
DO you mean officers or Tommies| He
said that he meant Tommies.
"Now you know how much reliance
you can put in what q Tommy says
He'll either say what he thinks you
want him TO say or what he thinks you
don't want him to say. told Shaw
that, but he paid no attention"
Here the first officer chimed in
again. "Well, I stick to what I've said
right along. | don't see where Shaw's
funny. / think he's silly"
The officer who was showing the
visitors book turned over another
page. "There's Conan Doyle" he said.

Exceedingly dreary for East Siders. The

the lot of the average citizen Of that

The strike had the backing Of the

that a settlement had been reached.
