These trenches had been In possession of the Germans for more than two years before they were driven out by the American forces.

 ON BIG STRIKE
tAssocia ted Press

COPENHAGEN. Mar. 15.-A dis patch received this morning from the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger states that the men in the workshops of the Austrian railways have walked out on strike which is so serious that the traffic of the entire coun- try is threatened with complete tieup. It is also asserted that the strike is spreading rapidly to other industries and may become nation wide in its scope.
 The strikers are nearly all Aus trian reservists. They were placed under martial law and ordered to return to work by the military au- thorities. These orders were defied, and there is some doubt as to the wisdom of attempting to use coer- cion to break up the strike.
 Only a few details of the strike were published, the censorship evi- dently having cut down on the news sources. The number of men affect. ed cannot be ascertained.
