put down on the railway but the
Americans held on.
Few Boches Taken.
Only seven prisoners were taken.
One of them a banker and restaurant
owner of the higher class, was forced
to serve. He had been in. the army
year. He said that all able-bodied
men are now compelled to work in
war factories or go to the front He
said that soldiers everywhere now
realize their efforts are merely a sac
rifice. One deserter who entered the
American lines reveals the straits to
which the German high command had
been reduced regarding manpower.
The deserter had been previously
wounded. but was taken from the
hospital and returned to the front be-
fore he was fully recovered.
The Americans now hold the rail-
way on both sides of Fismes. The
boches are extremely nervous, and
are constantly sending up rockets at
night. American patrols are main

German lines, harassing the enemy
positions day and night.

SAYSLADOR BOARD
HAD DNOAUTHOR|TY

That the local community labor
board had no authority to issue an
order or ruling defining "nonessen-
tiaI" occupations. Is the gist Of q
statement issued today by Charles
J.. Columbus, secretary OF the Mer-
chants and ManufaetHrers' Associa-
tion.
Following his return thisr morning.
from a trip to New York city, Ar. Co
lumbus began an investigation OF the
order last Friday by the community
labor board His statement follows:
There Is absolutely no foundation
for the announcement the latter part
of last week Of twenty-four lines Of
activity that would be clased up as
nonessentiaL have made a thor
Neutrality-suspicious. of this. and ind
that the announcement was entirely
without warrant, and has no founda-
ton In law or any other authority.
Has No Authority.
The community labor board Of the
District OF Columbia has no authority
to issue such an order or ruling a.
was published In making this in-
vestigation I went to the highest
sources OF authority In various Gov
ernment branches, but to q man, and
a woman too for that matter. all dis
claim any such iptention az was con-
templated in the announcement OF last
week. The community labor board Of
the District OF Columbia will hold q
meeting this afternoon following
which I have no doubt that an ex-
PLANTATION will be forthcoming.
"The circumstance was most un-
feftunate and should be a warning to
all concerned to wait until they know
they are right before they go ahead.
Washington business interests have
nothing to fear and the matter should
bo dismissed
Meeting Called.
"a meeting OF our committee which
has been called for this afternoon will
be held. however, as we have two very
important matters that will require
the Immediate consideration Of busl-
ness men"
After the issuance Of the statement
by Mr.. Columbus, Edwin NJ Kline.
chairman of the local community
labor board. said the board had no
authority under the law to compel
any firm to release employees.
Both the statement by Mr.. Kline
and the one by Secretary Columbus
are confirmatory of an article pub
lished exclusively in The Times on
Saturday last They show the labor
board to have exceeded its authority
in announcing q list Of "nonessentiaI'
