Execution Threat Held
Ouer Berlin Workmen

Death by execution is the threat held
over Berlin workmen who do not re.
turn to their tasks today. Repressive
measures, instituted by the German
government, have taken the form of
orders to the strikers to resume work
on pain Of trial by courts-martial when
will have power to impose the death
sentence.
Berlin has been one of the main cen
te.s Of the strike movement and it has
been admitted officially that 10000
workers were idle because of strikes
there, while unofficial estimates have
run a high as 100000. The German
capital was quiet Saturday, according
to semi-ofiicial statements received IN
Holland, virtually the only form in
which news of the strike has been per-
mitted to leave Germany.
Another strike is reported to have
broken out at Jena, in the grand duchy
of Saxe-Weimer. Authentic reports
from other parts of Germany are lack
ing and the German newspapers give
little information concerning actual
happenings. Vorwaerts, the Socialist
organ, says that it is impossible to give
news because of the force of circum-
stances. A significant announcement
is made semi-ofIicially in Berlin. 1t is
that the foreign ministers of Austria
and Germany and General Won Luden.
dorff, chief quartermaster general, will
meet today in Berlin. They will dis
cuss economic and political questions
affecting the interests and territories OF
the two countries, both of which have
| been troubled recently by strike out

with the American Army in France,
Feb Sunday)-American officers are
elated over the results OF the first
artillery duel between American and
German gunners, which followed a pre-
lminary shelling by the Germans Sat
Wrday evening. In official reports to
The headquarters of their organizations
the infantry commanders today paid
tribute to the promptness with which
tie artillery responded to the call for a
harrage and to the effectiveness Of the
artillery fire.
Aerial "Reminiscences today showed
that the American gunfire had had a
very destructive effect. 1t will require
several nights of hard work under ar
tillery fire for the Germans to repair
The first line trenches caved in by the
American 75s and to patch the gaps in
the barbed wire.
1t is known that at least three enemy
dugouts we're demolished, probably with
some casualties. On the other hand,
the damage done to the American
trenches will be repaired before tomor
row morning.
In a regimental headquarters village
shellpd by the enemy, many buildings
were wrecked completely or in part, the
debris being piled in the streets. There
were no casualties among the officers
| The whistling of two big shells gave
warning of the coming bombardment
aad officers and men sought shelter
in the dugouts. The bombardment Of
the headquarters village came at the
end of a period of shelling which hat
extended gradually along several ldlo
meters of the front.
| The German artillery opened the en-
gagement with a desutory bombardmen
Of the American trenches at n certain
pint, firing many shrapnel shells. II
ne midst Of this a red rocket, callinl
for a barrage, ascended from the Ger
man first lines.
Before the German artillery could re
spond the American 75s, summoned int,
action by a signal from the first line
laid a curtain OF fire along the enem!
first lines. Then began the battle o
the gunners. The increased intensit,
Of the German fire was met immediatel,
bS the Americans, who not only show
cred shells on the original sector bu
quickly extended their activity to
vide front
Within twenty minutes the 75s an
larger pieces were booming along tn
valley, the shelling finally spreading t
a town in which the regimental heat
quarters was located.
AS darkness settled down the gun
grew quiet.
Heavy mists again overhung tn
American sector today. Consequent
there was no artillery work and n
laerial activity.

missioner Wise said his clients would
agree to rebate any difference between
three cents and the price set by the

POOL TO RELIEVE LIGHTERAGE
CONDITIONS IN y. Y. HARB0R

Washington, Feb. 4,-To relieve light
erage conditions in New York harbor
and promote speed in loading ships, Di-
rector General McAdoo today ordered
six railroads to assign about twenty
piers on the New Jersey side for the
coaling and loading Of vessels.
By receiving coal and freight cargoes
at the docks direct from freight cars
considerable burden will be saved light
ers which ordinarily would transfer ma
terials from the New Jersey side to
Manhattan or Brooklyn piers. The
lighters consequently will be made avail
able for service in carrying coal to the
city, the supply of which is already un-
der normal.
Although the pooling orders are tenn
porary, officials indicated that some
such arrangement would continue in
effect and eventually would constitute
part of the general pooling scheme in
prospect for New York harbor terminals
owned by railways.
