Dear Mrs. Thompson: / have
been going with a young man who
said he cared a lot for me and he
certainly acted as II he did. l have
just learned that he was engaged
to girl who was spending a year
in California with an aunt. She
has come back now and he goes
with her all the time and does not
come to see me. l cannot help
loving him and / don't see how
can get along without him. In the
daytime l am all right, but at night
l cry and just feel desperate
know / can never forget him. What
do you think of a fellow who would
do thing like that? Do you think
he had any right TO go with me all
that time without telling me the
truth? OKEN-HEARTED.
The man was very selfish and
thought only Of his own happiness.
He did not do the honorable thing
by going with you without first
telling you Of his engagement. You
will get over caring so much in
time if you are determined to do so

operating along the southern coast
of Finland, where they already have
had several small battles with the

ton received by the Swedish govern
ment,
, Entente diplomats here have re-
ceived reports that 80 to 40 Russian

or FIVE battleships are still off Hell

probably part Of the German aim. II

American Minister Morris has had
a conversation with M. Linda, Fin

the Germans merely had been asked
to assist in restoring the govern

was implied. He said:

Buenos Aires, April l1.-What is
considered evidence that there is a
hidden wireless plant somewhere in
South America is the fact that a Ger

receives at o'clock in the afternoon
the German communication which ar
rives at midnight by cables.
These dispatches sse said to be re-
ceived from the west coast and the
authorities express the belief that
there is wireless station somewhere

riaIs Production Goes Back
to Conference.

Washington, April 1.-THE confer
ence report on the bill providing se-
we're penalties for destruction of or
interference with the production Of
essential war materials, containing
the clause giving workmen the right
to strike for better wages or working
conditions, was rejected today by the
senate, "a to Is.
The vote, taken Immediately today
upon reconvening Of the senate and
following yesterdays bitter denuncia-
tion of labor's attitude in the war In
the numerous strikes, on war jobs,
will cause the house to reconsider the
bill. The senate's opposition was di-
rected solely to the clause providing
that the bill should not restrict work
men from striking.
The bill now goes back to confer
ence.
Rebuke to Workmen.
Many senator's who objected to the
provision regarded today's vote as a
rebuke to workmen who have struck
at shipyards and factories engaged on
war work. Senator Overman of North
Carolina, who had charge of the
measure yesterday, declared that
should the senate defeat the con-
ference report because of the labor
clause, the entire legislation would
die" l
much discussed provision President

of Labor, speaking before the mas

ers here, was denouncing the pro-
posal to prohibit strikes and walk

"As a patriotic American citizen"
declared Mr.. Gompers, Il serve warn
ing on congress not to permit the
deviltry and folly of such a law. 1t
will serve only to make strikers law
breakers as we'll. Nothing will do
more to create resentment than to
make it unlawful for men to stop
work"
Nobody" he declared, "has served
more efectiually in offsetting the in
fuence of pernicious German propa-
canada than organized labor.
"No one has done more than the
representatives Of the American labor
movement to prevent enemy propa-
ganda from interrupting war indus
tries here" said he.

GERMANS DISPERSED.
The attack was the heaviest yet
made on an American force. Brilliant
work by American gunners dispersed
the German infantry before they
reached the wire entanglements and
those of the enemy who got into the
wire were accounted for with machine
gun and rifle fire.
The German attack came after a
violent artillery bombardment OF
three days. A large number OF the
enemy are believed to have been killed
or wounded during the attack, which
continued for nearly two hours.
LAUNCH GAS ATTACK.
For 72 hours before their effort, the
Germans had been firing an increasing
number of shells at the American po:
sitions and making extensive use OF
gas shells. .. -.
At noon yesterday the enemy began
harrassing fire against one OF our
strong points and kept it up through:
out the night, dropping hundreds OF
shells of all calibers on both front and
rear positions. The American artil-
lery replied vigorously, the men IN
some batteries working with their
gas masks on for two or three hours
at a stretch.
About S o'clock this morning Ger
man infantrymen in the front line sig.
nailed their batteries for barrage and
started for the American front line
The American gunners laid a counter
barrape almost Immediately.
The attackers, who were especially
trained for this operation, were Sc
iected from among the best men in
three regiments. They were preceded
by shock platoons, but the American
barrage caught them before they were
able to reach our wire entanglements.
A terrific fire against the advancing
enemy was kept up by the American
batteries. The Germans probably SUI,
fered severe casualties, as several
bodies were seen hanging across the
barbed wire after the enemy had re-
tired.
FIERCE GUN DUEL.
The attack was made in heavy
morning mist, but the American gun
ners did wonderful work, considering
the poor visibility.
AS soon as the American barrage
lifted, American infantrymen climbed
from their shelters and attacked the
enemy with heavy machine gun and
rife FIRE, driving back those who had
not been dispersed by the artillery

The attack was followed by vio-
lent artillery duel, which was still
going on at a late hour tonight.
