TEUTON LABOR
WANTS PEACE
SAYS DEPUTY
Suffers More Than Any 9th
er Section of the German
Population.
(By Associated Pressy

(By Associated PressJ
NEW YORK, April 3.-The German
laboring class is for peace because it
has suffered more from the war than
any other section of the German pop
ulation.
This statement was made on Feb
%, in the reichstag by Deputy Herr,
field. independent socialist, during the
discussion of a socialist motion re.
questing that the reichstag exercise
its right and defend the release from
Imprisonment during the relchstag
session of deputy Wilhelm Dittmann,
a socialist.
Deputy Dittmann was arrested for
his activities in connection with the
recent strike in Berlin and other
parts of Germany and sentenced to
several years Imprisonment.
The January strike, Deputy Herr
field declared, was caused by the des
pair of the working men that there
would be no early peace, the laboring
class having gained the impression
from the Brest-Litovsk negotiations
that the annexationists controlled the
governments policies.
Newspaper Gagged.
During the strike, he added, the
newspapers of the working class had
been gagged and representatives of
the working men had been thrown
into prison whenever they were not
sent to the trenches.
Deputy Herzfeld was frequently
called to order by the vice president.
Breasche, who at the outset declared
he could not permit a discussion of
the political reasons for the arrest of
Deputy Dittmann. Hugo J. Hoase,
socialist, protested against limitation
of the debate, saying the discussion
would be only farce and would not
correspond to the dignity of the reich
stag.
The reichstag decided that it had
no right to interfere in the Oittmann
affair and the socialist motion was de
feated over the votes of the socialists,
Danes and Poles.

in rendering the decision of the court,
said that although the case should be
disposed of at the earliest possible
time the court was of the opinion that

fit of the doubt and that justice would
be best met by an adjournment of the
case.
The case was set for trial Thurs
day morning at 10 . clock, but mo-
tion for continuance was presented by
the defense on the claim that one of
the most important witnesses. Attor-
ney Ernest H. O'Brien of Mansfield

HOT STUFF-MARCH
Chief Staff Says Elimination

Importance
AS A BASIS FOR
FUTURE OPERATIONS
staff Which Planned and Executed
Movement Entirely Different from
General staff at Headquarters-Tri
ute to Ensemble as Well as Individual

WASHINGTON, Sept. l4.-Elmina-
ton of the ST. Mihiel salient by the
first big American offensive and the
consequent reduction of that sector by
% miles, Gen. March said today, is of
extreme Importance in that it gives
the allies much better base for fu-
ture offensive operations. Gen. March
paid high tribute to the American forces,
which in less than two days wiped
out a salient, "the narrowest and most
angular on entire western front. The
operations there, he said, were not only
tribute to the work of the ensemble
but to the individual soldier.
1T : hot stuff he added warmly.
No reports had come from General
Pcrshing identifying any Individual
unit which participated in the advance.
Gen. March, however, announced the
composition Of the staff which, under
Gen. Pershing, planned and executed the
movement. This staff is entirely diff
fercnt from the general staff of Ameri-
can expeditionarv forces which remains
in its entirety at the expeditionary
headquarters.
Gen. March pointed out in connec
ton with the German claim that the
| st. Mihiel salient had been abandoned
voluntarily and that no mention was
made by the Germans of the first batcf
Of prisoners. Capture of the salient
was accomplished by quick sharp blow;
on both flanks, Gen. March explained
The American troops advanced acros,
4 difficult terrain consisting of dense
" wooded hills intersected by numerou,
ravines.
