(By Leased Wire to New M~exlean.)
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE 131st
infantry of the 3Srd United States III
vision has been engaged in the fight
ing north of the Somme and partic-
cularly in the repulse of an enemy
counter-attack at Chipilly, General
March said today at his semi-weekly
conference with newspaper CORE
s~pondents. This regiment alone cap
tured three officers, $50 men and
seven los milimeter guns.
General March briefly reviewed the
situation in the Picardy salient. It
has been trimmed away on a front of
SO miles to a maximum depth Of Is
miles, the chief of staff said. The
line on the Marine front has
remained stationary.
Discussing the work of the 2Sth
division, comprising Pennsylvania
guardsmen, in the Aisne-Marne
salient, General March said the only
report upon its casualties received
was that 400 men had been hit dur
ing four hours on July 80 in the adj
vance to the Vesle.
In connection with the announce
ment Of the formation of the First
field army August 10, General
March disclosed that there were then
81 American divisions In France and
the field army included approximate
ly 1850, 900 men. 1t is assumed that
General Pershing has taken over his
own staff as the staff of the First
field army. In that case Major Gen.
eral James w McAdrew is the chief
of staff, both Of the army and of the
American expeditionary forces.
The chief of staff took occasion 20
frown upon the name Of Sammy"
for American troops. No American
soldier in France approves the use of
that name, he said, o do either the
French or British understand why,
being strong men, the American
should be tagged with such a nick
name. The British soldiers call their
American comrades "Yanks."
General March said no American
troops had landed in Siberia as yet.

MENACES OUTPUT,
GOMPERS' VIEW

(By Leased Wire to New Mexlcan.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-organlz-
ed labor's emphatic opposition to any
work or fight provision In the new
man power bill extending the draft
ages is expressed In a letter from
Samuel Gompers, president Of the Am
erlcsn Federation Of Labor, received
today by members Of the senate mill
tary committee.
The letter referred particularly to
amendments proposed by Senator
Thomas of Colorado, proposing to
withdraw deferred classification given
for industrial reasons where Ameri-
cans absent from their work for more
than five days without cause.
The provision as added to the bill
yesterday by the committee was a
modification by Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, eliminating the five-day limit.
"In my judgment" Mr.. Gompers
wrote of the Thomas amendment, mo
measure could be enacted with more
injurious consequences to continuous
production than such a measure. The
workmen In the United States are do
ing their full share of service, and
duty. They are whole h~eartedly sup
porting the war program; they are
giving themselves, their sons, their
brothers and other blood relations on
the firing line. They are producing
more per mar and more to the aggre-
gate than any man or group of men in
any other country on the face of the
globe.
Here and there may be n or a
few who may have failed to perform
their whole duty, but / submit, sir,
to your serious consideration, wheth-
er, IL a bill were enacted into law
which all the workers Of our country
would be Justified as interpreting as
a reflection upon their services and
their loyalty whether 1t would not
create a reaction most ~unfavorable to
u common purpose in service and in
winning the war.

"The men Of labor of our country

They are voluntarily surrendering

(By Leased Wire to New Mexlcan.)
Amsterdam, Aug. 1.-THE Bolshe-
Wiki government of Russia as late as
August 6 considered itself still at
peace with the United States, al
though at war with Great Britain and
France, according to a note delivered
on that date by Foreign Minister
Tchtcherin to Consul General Poole,
at Moscow, as quoted by the German
semi-official Wolff Bureau. The Boil
sheviki minister said he had placed
at the consul generals disposal the
Russian wireless station and asked
Mr.. Poole to inform his government
that an unjustifiable attack was be-
ing made upon the Bolsheviki govern
ment.
M. Tchitcherin protested against
the allied landing in the north.
In his note to American Consul
Poole protecting against the British
and French military action Tchitch-
erin said:
"These people who did not declare
war against us, act like ~barbarians
toward us, but we, who represent the
oppressed poor, are no barbarians
like these invaders. Our retaliation
against those who shoot the mem
.bers of our soviets does not take the
shape of similar acts against repre-
.sentatives of these governments.
while we take this attitude to-
ward the Official Representatives Of
Great Britain and France we take
into consideration your w urgent
request because, we regard you as
the representative of a nation which,
to use your own words, will under
take nothing against the soviets if
we retaliate with precautionary meas
ures against the warlike measures
directed against u.s.! II Is in .pur-
suance Of this that we intern Ma

The court sustained the contention
of the complainant that the acts of de-
PENDANTS were in contravention Of the
Sherman antitrust act and the New
Mexico statute. He pointed out that
d~efendantsI had admitted the pubIlca-
tion of the matters complained Of In
the "New Mexico War News" in fur
thersnce of the purpose alleged, which
he held to be unlawful, stating that he
failed to find in the statute creating
the council Of defense any express or
implied powers permitting 1t to do un-
lawful acts.
1.-THE defendants,' said the court,
"deny any purpose or intent to injure
the plaintiff. Their acts might have
been prompted by the best of patriotic
motives, but the natural consequence
and result of them is to injure the
plaintiff and put the magazines out Of
business.
"The defendants claim that no coer-
cion is involved. Considering the pub
locations In the New Mexico War
News cannot agree with this. A
mere request from such an official
body with the implied approval of the
government behind 1t, in my opinion,
is equivalent to coercion.
taking up the matter Of defend
ants claim that 4 was necessary to
protect the reading public In this
g from what they have alleged to be
insidious propaganda, It seems to me
that there Is nothing In that conten-
ton. There Is no uprising in progress,
no internal disturbance directed

be more careful In time Of war than
in any other to see that exact justice
Is administered. The machinery Of

The court declared 1t was improper
for any such combination Of persons
to set themselves up as censors or to
do things which unlawfuIly injured
