Germany's Flame Attacks
No Longer Worry Sammies

flames are shut off. Special ladders
are placed in the trenches to per-
init the assaultIng party to start
quickly across No Mans Land. The
best time for attack Is set forth as
being from an hour to a half hour
before sunset.
The attack is made by troops in
four waves. In the first wave are
bombers. engineers for destroying
enemy entanglements, and men car
rying small fame projectors which
are played upon the machine gun
posts. The second wave men con-
solidate the enemy trenches.
The third wave consists Of men
whose duty it il to make communi-
eating trenches between the German
line and the captured line. The
fourth wave men are known a. the
carrying party as they carry up sand
bags, hand grenades, ammunition and
machine guns.
The first wave troops wear the as
saut order" in other words great
coat, tent square, mess tin. full wa
ter bottle, four days ratlons and at
least 800 IoH9ds of ammunition, two
hand gre6ades uhd rife with fixed
bayonet. The consolidating party has
the same equipment. The men of the
other two forces each carry a heavy
entrenching tool, fifty sandbags and
at least two hand grenades. Signal
men with telephone lines follow them
Every instruction IL given in great
est detail. For instance the order
states, "A password is advisable on
dark days when the men may in a
late attack find themselves surround
ed by enemies soon after the attack.
Words particularly suitable for pass
words are those which the enemy
would find 1t difficult to pronounce
such as Schweincschmalz or stiefel-
wichse."
The American artillery, through
knowledge of the enemy's necessities
of attack, has hit upon counter
strategy which has discouraged effort
to launch fame attacks.

OFFTERDINGER
employees ASK
INVESTIGATION
Cigar Makers State Griev-
ances to Federal Labor
Adjustment Board.

A committee representing the strik-
ing women employees Of the Henry T.
onterdinger Cigar Factory yesterday
presented the case of the strikers be-
fore the Federal Labor Adjustment
Board of which former President
William Howard Taft is chairman.
Mrs. Clifford Pinchot. chairman of
the Washington committee Of the Ma
tional Women's Trade Union League,
appeared before the board in behalf
of the strikers and read a statement
setting forth their position and de-
mands.
Mrs. Rebecca Perry. of Local l10 of
the international Cigar Makers
Union, the organization to which the
local cigar makers belong, also gave
a statement regarding the pay and
working conditions of the employees Of
the offterdinger factory.
The grievances of the strikers as set
forth In Mrs. Pinchot's statement are:
Low wages, discrimination against
women workers in regard to pay, un-
sanitary conditions in the work shop,
and denial Of the right to organize.
She also stated that the strike, in
volving about eighty-eight of the en-
ployes Of the factory has been con-
tinuing for more than six weeks.
Under normal conditions the shop en-
ploys about rs people. most of whom
are women and girls.
Mr.. offterdinger has so far refused
to recognize the strikers orgcs iza-
ton.
The demands OF the strikers are
under consideration by the board and
a decision will probably be rendered
following an investigation Of the en-
ployer's side Of the case.

BRITISH CANADIAN RECRUITING
MISSION,

The details of the draft convention
between Great Britain and the United
States, which was signed on February
18th, have been received at the British
Canadian Recruiting Mission at Spo-
kane. Three classes are included, (a)
men between 81 and 80 inclusive, who
have taken out their papers; tb) men
between Il and 80 inclusive who have
not taken out their first papers: (c)
men between 90 and 81 and between
81 and 40 inclusive, whether or not
they have taken out first papers.
After the ratification of this treaty
in London, which is expected at any
time, period OF from 80 to 60 days
will be allowed Britishers and Can
dams to enlist voluntarily through the
British-Canadian Recruiting Mission
for service in the British or Canadian
forces or in the U. S. army. President
Wilson will appoint day for the reg
istration Of men in Class &C., who will
then be made subject to American
draft. Every effort will be made to in
duce these men TO enlist voluntarily
without waiting for the draft. To this
end, many skilled branches of the
Canadian forces have been opened for
enlistment. artillery. cavalry, engin-
GERS, skilled railway employees and
railway construction.
The British-Candian recruiting Mis-
sion at Spokane will answer all inqui-
ries in regard to the draft and arrange
for transportation OF men wishing to
volunteer.

Germans Reports are current that
Berlin is considering the reestablish-
ment OF the royal family in PetrogFad,
but with the Czarina, a German prin-
cess, on the throne Whatever is the
future disposition OF the vast terri
tories Of Great Russia and Siberia, the
Germans have a right TO believe that
the isolation of those lands from wes-
tern Europe and the political incapac-
ity their inhabitants have displayed
will make them in effect mere Deepen
denotes of Prussia
IL Germany were differently ruled
and were animated By different spir-
it. there would be little reason TO re-
greet the increased Influence OF mod
ern, well-administrated state on the
chaotic and ignorant masses Of Rus
STA. Unfortunately. the ambition OF the
HohenZollerns and of the Prussian
military caste for the domination OF
the world is too well known to be
questioned. If they remain in power
not only over Germany and Austria
but over the Balkans and Turkey and
the Eastern Europe they have mapped
out, the world must look forward TO a
century of war and in the end TO the
exhaustion if not the extinction OF the
civilization that has been painfully
and laboriously built up on the ruins
of the civilization OF Greece and Rome.
II is unthinkable that the rest OF the
world will willingly submit 70 the rule
and the ideals of the men who violated
Belgium and committed the submarine
atrocities. We dare not hope that they
will alter their views on morals and
politics. The decision rests at bottom
with the German people So long as
they remain docile, they condemn the
world to endless anxiety. to frequent
and terrible wars, eventually to servi-
tude or to destruction. That is their
terrible responsibility. Ours is to see
| that, fthey shirk it, mankind is pre-
served from utter ruin, in the only way
that they leave open-their defeat by
force or arms.

Immediate Action Urged:--If far

The most disappointed and disguest-
ed man in the state is Jack Downs
This paper mentioned last week that
he had gone TO Spokane for the pur-
pose Of joining a Canadian regiment
and Friday evening he returned home
feeling detected and Inundated. But
the fault is not his that he was unable
TO get into the service where he Is so
anxious to be. Some weeks ago he
went TO Spokane and offered to enlist,
but was rejected on account of slight
physical defect that could be cured
by an operation. He returned to Oro-
Vile, passed through the painful or
deal and as soon as he felt physically
fit he at once presented himself TO the
recruiting officer at Spokane. The
physician who examined him announ-
ced that he had not entirely recovered
from the effects of the operation.
which shows how exacting the recruit
ing office is, requiring that man be
perfectly sound in order to meet and
surmount the hardships of present
day warfare Mr.. Downs returned
home almost broken hearted over his
failure. He has shown a willingness
TO serve the country in time when
the country needs the services OF ey-
cry man in a physical condition to
serve, and that is all that any man
could do.
