of the most valuable kind has come
to the allied fighting forces.
Rain and high wind are sweep-
ing the west front battlefield. Much
OF the success of the German drive
has been attributed to the favor
able weather that enabled them to
maintain transportation at maxi
mum efficiency.
If the rain continues for an ex-
tended period the transport system
not only will be crippled but the
allies have heretofore proved
themselves better fighters in the
mud.
AMERICA WANTS TO FIGHT.
America. through Gen. Pershins. has
asked for a more active share in The
fighting. The American commander
personally offered Gen. Foch the aid Of
the entire expeditionary force.
Meanwhile increased activity in Rus
sia may create at least some diversion
from the west front. United Press dis
patches tell Of lighting against the
Germans and the open declaration of
Ukrainian papers that the war should
be pushed.

 South of Vgneule the town of Heudcourt declared be in American possesson while to the east toward Thacou Pershngs troops have acquired the important Thaucourt wood and the town of Beney
 Meanwhile, the westerly side of the salient where the going is difficult, the American advance 12 mile front is understood to have scored advance of three miles The convergng operations thus appear to have resulted in the closing of the neck of the loop point where is not much more than five miles across
 Two German divisions reported night be still this part of the salient and they have not succeeded in exrcating themselves their capture probable

MACHINISTS MUST
 RETURN TO WORK
ENGLISH GREATLY ENTHUSED OVER
 AMERICAN DRIVE

London, Sept. 13-The assault on the St. Mihiel salient dominates the news columns of the newspaper today which feature it with the biggest headline. The opening blow in Mar shal Foch's grea. offensive scheme claims attention in any case, but this one has a special attraction as the first stroke of the independent Amer ican army under direct American command and as such it is hailed as one of the milestones of the war.
 That the blow so far has succeeded so well and brought such a large haul of prisoners affords an opportunity for congratulation by the press.
 British public has been anxiously looking for another American move but hardly expected it so soon, and the news of the Franco-American at- tack was received here with the great est enthusiasm.
 As a big advance in this direction soon would cause great inconvenience to the Germans before Metbz it is fully expected that heavy resistance will be offered.

President Wilson Sends Let ter to Union Here in Re
 ply to Resolutions. MUST ABIDE BY THE LABOR BOARD AWARD Penalty is Forfeiture of Elm ployment for Year and of
 Exemptions.

It was announced from Washington today that the striking machinists in this city have been notified by Presi- dent Wilson that unless they return to work and abide by the wage award of the War Labor Board they will be barred from employment for a year and draft boards will be instructed to reject any claim of exemption from military service based on their alleged usefulness on war production. The Presidents warning was sent today in a letter addressed to the machinists, replying to resolutions forwarded to him announcing the strike because of dissatisfaction over the War Labor Boards award and a later interpretation by an umpire.
 When seen today Jack Moss, chair man of the strike committee Of the Machinists Union said: I've have re- ceived no word of any kind from the President or from Washington, and until we receive that word officially we shall take no action. If the meB- sage has been sent to us by letter the chances are it will not reach Bridge port until next Monday, and we can- not take the word of newspapers that 1t has been sent.
 Personally 1 will state that l would rather go over to France and fight than submit to any Czar or Kais- CT in the shape of private interests trying to exploit labor. We are fight ing for Democracy over here as well as Democracy in Europe.
 "When 1 say we are going to fight this issue to the end I mean that we are supported by machinists in many other places and only today we have received word from Newark, New Jer sey. to the effect that the machinist: of that city are back of us to man.
 It was also announced from Wash ington that the War Department ha' taken over the Smith & Wesson com pany of Springfield, Mass, and vii operate the plant and business to ob tain continuous production and pre- vent industrial disturbance.
 The company recently gave notic' that it would prefer to have the gov ernment operate it's plant rather thai abide by a decision of the War Labo Board enforcing collective beginning
 A report was spread today that tn striking machinists were calling an other meeting at the State stree Casino for the purpose of voting t. return to work. This was positivel, denied at the strike headquarters.
 It was said that the business agen of the Machinists' union announce, yesterday that the machines in all tn plants were rapidly breaking dow owing to the fact that there is no on
