AMERICAN PREFERRED
FIGHT TO HOLIDAY

Paris, Oct. S.-General Mangin's
army was engaged in the most ter
rife battle of the war for three days
no progress could be made against
the desperate resistance of the Prus-
sian Guards and Bavarian shock
troops. In the vicinity Of Coucy-le-
Chateau and on the edges of the
Saint Cobain forest the battle ragged.
German counter-attacks had driven
back the attacking Franco-American
army at various points.
A division Of the American army
after three weeks of stubborn fighting
had Just been relieved and rested In
comparative safety behind the All
cite River. Two hundred Of the Am
erican soldiers proudly exhibited
passes emitting them to ten days
! leave in Paris and otherwhere to the
rear.
AT four in the morning the "alert"
was sounded. A violent German
counter attack had just been
launched threatening the allied posi-
tions north of the Ailette. The d.
vision was to return to the firing line
at once.
AS they mustered out heavy with
sleep, the officers told the boys that
those in possession of passes, for the
rear might remain behind. They
could take advantage Of the brief fur.
Tough.
Not one man remained behind.

Labor is showing its power against
Germany both in Belgium and in the
Ukraine, according to reports that
have reached the Department Of La
Dor. Not all of these have been veri-
fed, but it is pretty certain that large
numbers Of Belgian workmen have
refused point-blank to do any work
for the occupants of their nation, and
now similar word comes from the
Ukraine, where apparently a condi-
ton approaching the general strike
is existing.
The railroad men, it Is reported,
have walked out by thousands at the
instance of agitaors, who call upon
the men to refuse to work in order
that Germany may not ship food and
other supplies away from their own
country. The strike organizers have
spent, it is said, 100000 roubles In
anti-German propaganda.
The peasants are no better pleased
than the railroad workers by the
German occupation and are reported
only awaiting favorable opportuni
ty for revolt.

CONSUMPTION IN IRELAND

Dublin, Oct S.-Ireland soon may |
become patchwork quilt of con-
scription districts and non-conscrip-
ton districts, according to members
of the Irish recruiting council, whose
allotted time for raising $4,000 volun-
teers as an alternative to conscrip. |
ton, is drawing to close, with the
allotment as yet untitled.
The council, which is composed Of
five Irishmen, representing all par
ties. has divided the country into ten
districts, with a quota for EACH and
has arranged with the government
that in districts which fill their quo
tas, CONSUMPTION will not be applied,
even though the total of volunteers
falls below the required 10000 men.
1t is generally predicted that some
of the districts will fall far short OF
their quotas. And there, conscrip.
ton is expected to be inaugurated,
even at the cost of resistance.
The objection of many young Irish
men to entering the army, and the
traditional Irish hostility to the War
Office is being met by recruiting
agents by pointing out the special at
fractions of the Royal Air Force. This
service is not under control Of the
War Office. and it has the added adj
vantage of having many non-fghting
positions.
Political feeling runs high, how
ever and the class of the young men,
who make the best soldiers, the mis-,
sile troops" are not volunteering in
large numbers.
Two or three members of the Irish
Parliamentary Party have identified
themselves with the recruiting cam
paign. but the parry as a whole, has
held aloof
Side by side with the operations oil
the recruiting council Colonel Lynch
member of parliament, is conducting
! crusade of his own with the view
Of organizing a brigade which he
! hopes to command. Colonel Lynch
| fought on the side of the Beers
against Great Britain, but his feelings
| towards the present war have led hin
IN Law aside all racial feeling ant
come out on the side of the Allies.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT
AT BALDWIN
One Dead, Two Seriously Injured
When Train Hits Auto.

A freight train coming outh Sat
urday evening about two o'clock ran
into the wagon of Vas Malone on the
crossing just north of the station at
Baldwin. Mr.. Malone, his wife and
two boys were in the wagon coming to
town and in driving down the hill
just east of the crossing, failed to
hear the approach of the train and
drove on the track just as the train
reached the crossing. The train was
going at high rate of speed. The
impact was fearful. The occupants
of the wagon were hurled some dis
tance. Mrs Malone was thrown on
the house track in front of the station
while the younger boy was thrown to
one side. The oldest bod, Howard,
was landed on the cow-catcher and
when the train was brought to a stop
some distance below the station was
taken off and died within few min
utes. Mrs. Malone sustained very
serous injuries, broken jaw and
leg and other injuries. The youngest
boy also received painful injuries
Mr.. Malone escaped with but slight
injuries. Both mules were killed and
the wagon torn to pieces.
The hill just east Of the crossing
is steep and the crossing has been al
ways a dangerous one.

Thinks Rifles Are Gone.

William H. Ford, attorney for Lus-
sing. tcgeified that he did not believe
the rifles existed now, because Lus-
sing had received no answer from
his pri,ciples in regard to- an offer
for the rifles made il behalf OF the
goverrn nent.
Luss;g had never told who his prln-
.ciples were, Ford said, and he had con-
cluded the owners were philadelphia
parties and that the rifles were IN
that city.
81 had always believed these guns
existed" said Ford, "but never heard
that they had been smuggled from
Germany. / had always supposed
they were made by Americans
Hartford T. Marshall, New York
lawyer, testified that Lussing had told
him the owners of the rifles were
German-Americans. Marshall sought
to buy the rifles from Lussing for his
clients, McCafferty & Rodgers, of To-
ronto, but concluded from his inter
views with Lussing that no such rifles
existed.
Francis L. Judd, New York min
ing engineer, testified that he had
seen Mauser rifles in January, 1916,
in a storehouse in, Liberty street,
New York, near the East river

GERMANS HAVE GUNS
HIDDEN in AMERICA
Rifles Secretly Imported From Krupp
Works and Stored in New York


thousands of rifles had been secretly
imported from the Krupp works in
Essen in order to "Germanize" the
United States were related today at
an inquiry conducted by States At
torney- General Lewis into rumors OF
boarding of arms by German interests
in the United States.
Edgar A. Holmes, witness, cred
tied the reports to man named
James H. Crossley. Holmes, brok-
er, tried to buy the rifles, but was
unsuccessful, he said. During the
negotiations, he said, Crossley told
him that some 100000 rifles had
been imported from Essen via the
Hoboken docks of two German steam
ship companies, and were to be used
in the United States if the Germans
were successful in reaching the Eng
lish channel ports.
Mr.. Holmes identified copy of a
letter written by himself offering to
sell 100000 Mausers and 1,000,-
900 cartrides. The letter, dated
June 9, 1917, was addressed to DR..
Thomas Darlington, of New York,
former health commissioner.
Holmes testified he had never seen
the articles, but had talked with an
engineer named Francis l.. Judd,
who said he had seen boxes contain
ing 28O,000 rifles. Two months ago,
Holmes said, the United States tried
to buy them, but they were not pro-
duced, Holmes had been in touch with
United States officials throughout the
negotiations, he said.
Names Man in Case.
Gustav Lussing was named by
Holmes as the man who was said by
various Intermediates to be able to
deliver the goods. Judd told Holmes
the rifles had been in an east side
warehouse, and had been removed,
but were within an automobile ride
of an hour and a half from Broad
way.
Charles H. Murray, hotel owner
of Washington, d. c., testified he had
heard of the rifles through Russian
agent, Ivan Norodny. who claimed
they had been taken to an upstate
New York farm. Norodny said Lus-
sing had a farm at Woodbury. Falls,
and that a party of German officers,
including Capt Hans Tauscher, had
visited it after dining at the Ger
man club in New York. Through
Norodny, Murray met Lussing and
was shown an itemized statement of
the quantity of rifles hidden as fol-
lows: 100000 Mauser guns, $780,
100000 cartridges, 100000 carbines,
1000 rounds cartridges, 1,000,0OO
rifles and 600 machine guns.
Lussing, according to the witness,
said they were stored in 40 different
places ip the United States.
Robert T. Tucker, tanner of
Charleston, S. c., testified of hearing
of the rifles through his acquaintance
with Russians in business. Judd told
Tucker, he said, he had seen cannon
ard rifles at a warehouse in Brooklyn.
According to the witness, New York
lawyer finally told him the rifles had
been sold.
''I am thoroughly convinced that
those rifles are in this country and
that Lussing knows where they are, "
said Tucker
