work OR FIGHT RULE WORKS WELL

Work or fight" regulations have been highly
effective in directing labor from nonessential to
essential occupations, according to reports that
have reached the department of labor from in
dustrial centers of the North and East.
BY October, it is expected, the full effect of the
measure can be perceived, for by that time doubt
full cases will have been cleared up and the En-
poyment Service will have had an opportunity to
show what it can accomplish.
In a number of cities men were given 80 days
to find new Jobs. Those who failed to find them
were allowed extensions of time, if it was shown
that they had actually made a serious effort to
,bey the provisions of the regulation.
The work or fight rule has not been so
drastically applied here as in certain other cities
but many men have voluntarily changed from
non-essential to essential work. Employers,
zoo, have exerted themselves to release men for
war work wherever possible and the results
have been very pleasing.
Many who gave up their former jobs were
really much pleased once they had adapted them
selves to the situation for they found larger pay
awaiting them in their new work, and con-
sciousness that they were serving the nation
directly proved inspiration to service.

A GERMANTOWN PATRIOT

Although charges of pro-Kaiser activity have
been proved against DIR. Karl Muck and few
other German musicians in this country, there
are a great number of orchestral artists of Ger
extraction who have long been American
citizens and have shown themselves steadfastly
loyal.
One of the most pleasing examples of this
kind of patriot is afforded by DR.. Walter Dam
rosch, of New York symphony orchestra.
Last spring Damrosch went to France to yield
his services musician to the American ex-
peditionary forces. After seeing what he could
do, General Pershing has appointed him to the
digni1ed post of general-band marshal, to reor-
ganize the American military bands and place
Them on par with the French bands, whose high
standard of excellence is known.
Although Damrosch was born in Germany he
has been the most vigorous of pro-Americans
ever since we entered the war. Time and again

TO PRESERVE THEIR MARKETS

Mr.. Val Fisher, London publisher and mem
Der of the London Chamber of Commerce, who
is visiting this country, brings to American bust
ness men suggestions relating to the development
of good will through the medium of advertising
and gives figures to prove the gains accrued to
those English firms which during the war period
have maintained their publicity continuously
Mr. Fisher, in one of his New York addresses,
says
British manufacturers who have not dollars
worth of merchandise to sell, whose entire plants
are employed government work, are keeping
their advertising continuously before the public
because while they are perfectly willing to turn
their profits over to the government, while they
are perfectly willing for the sake of winning the
war to have their factories Communicated and
their normal business completely stopped, yet
they are not willing to sacrifice their good will !;
they are not willing to have their names or their
products forgotten
And they continue their advertising, con-
tlnue building their good will, so that when the
war shall be won there will be an immediate de-
mand for billions of dollars worth of merchan-
disc that their greatly enlarged factories will
then turn out.
There have been several items in the German
press, in which ridicule is directed toward
American manufacturers for disseminating their
advertising, adding that German manufacturers
are wise enough to know that markets once con
trolled be easily lost through the cessation of
lpublicity.and that they are continuing their adj
vertising and will continue it because it is the
best business insurance they can buy
England. too, is evidencing far better vision
than America.

keep the publics faith rather than let the dis
ease of forgetting undermine the foundation

BRADLEY AIDED
 IN BREWERS CASE

Lee c. Bradley, chief counsel to Alien Property Custodian A. Mitchell Palmer, who is spending his vacation at his home in Birmingham, when informed last night of the report made to the Senate judiciary committee by MT. Pal mer relative to the German brewers fund with which Arthur Brisbane &C., quired control of the Washington Times, stated that he was familiar with
 the matter, but that he was not in po- sition to make statement at this time, or to add to the information given to the committee by MT. Palmer
 George Ehret, whose name heads the l list of brewers contributing to this fund, MT. Bradley said is rich brew CT and saloon keeper in New York, a Herman American who had been in Ger
 many until about two months ago, when he returned to this country. His estate | is worth about $40,000, 900, MT. Bradley said, and was taken over by Mr Pal 1 mer in March or April of this year, and has been under the alien property custodians control ever since. His l brewery and saloon properties have l been operated and. are still operated under the direction of MT. Palmer l MT. Bradley said the report now made public is the result of an investiga- Y tion that was begun by his department early in July, when they came into possession of information connecting I the brewers of German nativity or de- scent with the Washington Times transaction.
 MT. Brisbane, who for years had been associated with the Hearst publica- tions, and prior to going with the Hearst papers, was editor of nation- l ally known magazine and an author of some note, purchased the Washington Times about four years ago.
 Information reaching the alien prop 1 erty custodians office led to the be- l lief that the acquisition of the Times l was more in the interest of spread l ing German propaganda in this coun- | try than opposing prohib ition the os- l tensible purpose. Investigation fur ther confirmed this belief, and tended l to convince MT. Palmer and his asso- : ciates that the brewers were in fact
 carrying out orders received from Ger

BRITISH EvACUATE BAKU

London, September 19.--Baku. in Trans caucasia, has been evacuated by the British. who have withdrawn their forces to north Persia.
 The evacuation was made necessary, it is stated, because of the lack of steadi- ness on the part of the Armenian troops when they were attacked by the Turks during August. By the end of that month it was realized that the co-opera- ton of the local government and it's forces would not be sufficiently effective to justify the retention o- the small Brit ish detachment in the face of the num- bers which the enemy could collect.
 On September l the evacuation was definitely decided upon, but on the same day the Turks again attacked and the allies of the British. the reports state, again failed to cooperate. The result was that the Royal Warwickshire regi- ment had to cover Russo Armenian re- tirement, and it is feared that this force lost heavily.
 small force of Russians arrived at Baku September g to reinforce the Brit ish. This, with the inactivity of the en- emy, tended to improve the morale of the forces allied with the British. strength ening their wish to hold the town They induced the fleet in the Caspian, which was still in Russian hands, to refuse per mission for the British evacuation. ac- cording to the advices. Meanwhile. 1t IS added. the Armenians were negotiating to hand the town over to the enemy.
 On September IA. the enemy made de- termined attack and after fighting that lasted 16 hours, the brunt of which was borne by the British, the account con tinues. the latter evacuated the town.
 The Turks recently have undertaken an advance from Tabriz, Persia. as far as Jemalabad. and the British detachments which have been watching this road have retired.

PRICE INCREASE
 FOR IRON ORE IS
 GIVEN PRODUCER
Decision on Prices for Pig Iron Is Postponed Till To- day by Price-Fixing
 Committee

Washington. September 19.--Iron ore producers were granted a slight in- crease in prices for the quarter begin committee of the war industries board tonight after an alI-day conference with representatives of the American Iron and Steel institute. The extent of the increase was not announced. De- cisfon as to new prices on pig iron was postponed until tomorrow.
 Although those attending the con- terence were pledged to secrecy as to the proceedings by Chairman Brook ings of the committee it was learned that the iron ore industry requested an increase of 50 cents a ton, while the pig iron producers quietly hinted they would accept an increase of S a ton. The steel industry, it is under stood, made no request for a new price, except the high cost producers, who pointed out that any increases necessarily would entail increases to them.
 After the conference Chairman Brcokings announced that although an agreement had been reached there would be no announcement, out of courtesy to the President, who has to approve the action of the committee He stated, however. the increase in iron ore was so slight as not to be of public interest.
 The pig iron prices will be dis cussed with Steel Administrator Rep- logic tomorrow, it was learned.
 Today the discussion of this branch of the steel industry centered on changes in the passing points. At no time, it was learned, was thero a pos sibility of granting the. requested S5 a ton.

ATTACKS NOT EXPECTED

With American Forces in Lorraine, September 19.-(By the Associated Press ) shells from German T7-calibre guns are
 reaching the American forward positions, while those from the f05's and the 150 $
 are falling in the back areas. From time
 to time the shells reach points through
 out the sector, but only at rare intervals does the enemy fire give the impression that concerted effort is being made. It would appear that the Germans are convinced that further attacks at an early date are improbable and they themselves have neither the ability nor the heart to counter attack.
 The situation rapidly has become like that on old sectors, where both sides are content to harass each other day i'll and day out.
 A bombardment that is heavy enough at times to be called barrage is laid down early in the morning. It is followed by another some hours later. The remain der of the day Is devoted to occasional shots and attempts against the active allied airplanes.
 American observers, both aerial and those at fixed posts, report decreased ac- tivity behind the German lines. This is taken to indicate that the units battered
 in the American advance have been re- lieyed by fresher troops.

 "On the sector from the forest of Havrincourt as far as the Somme the British resumed their attacks against the positions before the Seigfried front.
