FIRED FIRST SHOT OF
 ExPEDITIONARY FORCE

New Pork, Sept 10-The story of the first shot fired by the American expeditionary force in the war with Germany-a shell sent screeching into the German lines about as dawn was breaking on Oct. g 1917--is contain ed in a letter sent to The Associated Press by the commander of the In diana battery which performed this important action in American history. Alex Arch of South Bend Ind, a ser geant in this unit-Battery c of the Sixth field artillery-is the veteran soldier who, according to this letter, yanked the lanyard of the pioneer gun to speak for the UnAed States on the soil Of France.
 Newspaper correspondents who in spected the gun on the day it was fired were permitted at the time to say in their cablegrams only that this sergeant was from South Bend, The honor of firing this first shot had been claimed by another member of the same battery, Captain Idus B. Mo Lendon in command of Battery c, in writing of this event, expresses his conviction that the people of the United States should have availa ble an authoritative account, both because of the significance of the deed and be- cause in his opinion, credit should go to the man to Mhom the officers of Battery c say it is due-Sergeant Alex Arch.

LABOR BOARD TO IGNORE
 BRIDGEPORT STRIKES

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 10.-Word received here from Washington at midnight tonight indicates that the War Labor Board intends to ignore the five thousand striking machinists and tool makers here. Announcement was made of the appointment of Al pheus Winter as perm2nent adminis- trator of wage awards here and he stated that in caring for this duty the men now out would be considered hereafter only as individuals without power to be heard regarding collec- tice bargaining.
 The men struck to enforce de- mand for a minimum wage for tool makers of so cents an hour and for machinists of 70 cents. Later repre- sentatives of all labor bodies elected delegates to act as committees in fu- ture labor disputes and these will be heard when occasion arises.
 It was stated at the headquarters of the strikers tonight that steps for a poll Will be taken in Hartford. New Hagen, Plainfeld, N. J.. and Newark N. J., looking to a strike in shops in those places which make articles used in the affected factories in Bridgeport This ais a modification of the strikers original plan to seek to enlist fellow Smi0nfsts to inaugurate general sym pathet3C walkouts.

 Leaders now plan to end general discussion Thursday with view to taking up the bill Friday under a five minute debate rule for consideration of amendments. In the meantime, the ways and means committee will consider special amendments to fa- cilitate the sale of Liberty bonds, which were suggested today by the treasury department
 Representative .Caraway of Arkan- sas, democrat. attacked the proposal made by some members in debate that a tax be placed on cotton.

Effect of prohibition i legislation on the nations revenue al- so was brought up. | Representative Hull of Tennessee told the house today that the nations tax budget after the war will be $4,- C00000000 annually and warned that little of this can be made uu by tariff rate increases, as suggested by some members.

 MT. Gompers in a statement made today prior 10 attending a reception at the American Luncheon club reiter- ated the determination of American labor not to recede from the attitude it had taken of refusing to meet the labor representatives Of enemy coun- tries until the war had been won.

three miles away, while La Fere is so closely encroached upon from the west and outfanked from the north that seemingly It soon must fall.
 The French and Americans who are fighting shoulder to shoulder north east of Soissons continue to carry out successfully a correlated movement having the conquest of the St. tIo- bain forest in view and also the out fianking of the German positions to the east. In their latest endeavors the Franco American forces have made some slight progress in the face of extremely stubborn resistance. Likewise in the sector east of Sois- sons the French and Americans have gained additional Cround between the Vesle and Aisne rivers.
 Far to the north the British now are so nearly upon Armentieres that a few more strides forward seemingly will place them in a position to make the one time cotton spinning center theirs for the asking. La Basse also is being brought nearer in this gen. eral movement which apparently has as its ultimate objective the recap ture of Lille. and possibly, the even tual falling bacl0-of the German line northward in Belgium.
 British air forces continue serious ly to harass the Germans in the coast al regions of Belgium, having again intensively bombed enemy military and submarine bases at Bruges, Os- tend and Blankenberge.
 Field Marshal Haig is highly op- timistic of ultimate victory for the entente. In an order of the day he declares that the dark days have passed, never to return again. He says that in four weeks the British troops have made 75,O0O Germans prisoner and taken 750 of their guns Meantime peace feelers again have been sent broadcast by officials and men prominent in the high political councils of the Central Powers. The essence of their speeches shows pes simism as to the Teutonic allies being able to gain a military victory.

AMERICAN STEAMER DORA
 SUNK 400 MILES OFF FRANCE

London, Sept. 1O--'The American steamship Dora, formerly unoer the Austrian flag, was torpedoed and sunk cn September 4, approximately 400 miles of France as the result of an attack on @ cargo convoy. The crew was saved.
 The steamship was struck at 6.20 o'clock in the morning. A calm sea enabled all the crew of S5 to escape They were picked up by destroyers.
 The submarine daringly took up position about 150 yards from the starboard side of the convey column and about an equal distance from the nearest destroyer and fired at the Dora, which was heading Q column of three vessels
 The lookout reported seeing a per iscope just after the wake of the tor pedo was discovered, but nothing more was seen of the submarine The torpedo struck aft. throwirE tGle car go of army supplies as nigh as the mast tops, but only one member of the crew was hurt.
 The escorting ships immediately dropped numerous depth charges where it was believed the torpedo came from. Owing to the speed with which the warships acted and the close proximity of the C-hoat, it is considered possible that the subma- r;ne was either destroyed or badly damaged.
 This attack is somewhat different fro mthe recent methods of U-boats in firing on lone vessels and giving no attention to protected convoys. and it shows more reckless daring in aTi effort to sink conveyed boats than has been usual during the past few months.
