LABOR UNION BACKS
FIREMEN'S DEMAND
Adopts Resolution Calling for Steps
to Increase Wages.

The Central Labor Union stands
behind the firemen of the city in
their efforts to obtain an increase
In wages. according to q resolution
which was unanimously adopted at
meeting of the union last night.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that the fire fighters have received
only a trivial increase in salary
since 1906. At the same time the
cost Of living has advanced from 50
TO 100 per oent. The price Of the
uniforms which the men have to
buy themselves has also advanced
until at present the hremen are
hardly able to buy them. II was
stated that prices had increased to
such an extent. without increase in
salaries, tnat members OF the Fire
Department ind II almost impos-
sible to exist and purchase the nee
essities of life for themselves and
their families. For this reason the
force has been depleted by the
mems obtaining work in other lines
OF Industry which pay higher sal
aries. 1t was stated at the meeting
that such a condition endanKers the
lives. homes and property of the
citizens OF Washington and that
steps should be taken to save the
department from Generalization.
Inc resolution. which was unan-
imously adopted. provides for in
shutting measures Immediately for
the relief of the officers and mem
oers OF our Fire Department in
providing an increase OF salary
which should not be less than 81 a
day. relieving them from the hard
ships they are now suffering, or pay
them at the same rate as the fire.

In the faith.
He declares the accusation Is a

he must bear for the sake of his
faith.
The woman. Mra Elizabeth B.
Bennett. who accuses the farmer of
an outrsge. was bartered by her
husband. according to neighbors
and residents Of the county. The

Deputy Sheriff Harvey Cross ar
rested the man and he now resides
In the Fairfax county Jail. He has
long flowing gray hair and gives

DEATHS
BY ACCIDENT s
TIMES NORMAL
Maj. Pullman Says Peslcs-
trans Are 0ftener to
Blame.

Three times as many people are
being killed In Washington In traffic
accidents as in normal times. was
the statement Of Maj Raymond Pull
man. chief of police. last night be-
fore the Business Women's Council
OF the Y. w. c. A. at Wesley Chapel
Before the war;" said the police
chief, about two people q month were
killed in accidents. Now We are
averaging six or seven. and ! should
hate to say how many are injured. ]
do not place the blame for accidents
entirely upon either the driver or the
pedestrian, because there 10 generally
carelessness on both sides. but ! feel
of the average pedestrian ware as care
full as the average driver has to be
to protect his property. there would
be very few accidents. The driver
cannot cross the street reading the
afternoon paper as the pedestrian
often does"
II In quite natural for Washington
to be crowded In wartime. the major
told the council. During the civil war
the Capital was Just as crowded In
proportion to its size. At that time a
troop OF cavalry was stationed at the
street crossings on Pennsylvania
avenue with Instructions TO use saoers
to enforce the traffic regulations. even
to the point Of cutting on offenders
heads.
Suggests Big Asditoripns.
Increased recreational facilities for
the women war workers, Maj. Pullman
regarded as the greatest need Of the
city. He expressed the hope that the
government would arrange fr a large
auditorium where such entertain
ments as band concerts and opera
singing might be glvea before 2o.ooo
or more people.
There is so much waste effort In
the many entertainments that are be-
ing given on a small scale" said rhe
chief of police. I'VE could MI such
an auditorium as mention every
night OF the week. A tremendous
amount Is being done for the enter
tainmcnt Of the soldiers. The need of
the girls In war work In Washington
is Just as great"

EXPLANATION
.HARDPROBLEM
FOR HUN PRESS
Quandary Arises from III,
Timed Hints Of the
Real Truth.

The German press Is hguratiVely
up in the air trying to explain.
deny and account for the allied sue
cesses on the West front.
An Official dispatch from Berne.
received yesterday. shows the guam
dary In which the German pub
licists find themselves by reason of
their contradictory statements The
dispatch says:
Moderate and comparatively clear
sighted Germans appear disturbed
and irritated at the perpetually
triumphant tone adopted by the
woifr agency communiques. They
feel that by reason of its very ex-
cess this optimism Of the high COM
mand contributes to upset public
opinion in Germany.
Too Late to Change.
"It is too late for them. however.
to change their methods. They tried
a fortnight ago to acknowledge the
seriousness of the defeat suffered on
the Western front. but this avowal
caused great commotion and pro-
voked great criticism of the methods
OF the general headquarters. The
latter, therefore, renounced the idea
of regaining the confidence of the
country with frank avowals, and
have suddenly returned to the old
methods of blum.
These successive changes of atti-
tude have only upset the minds of
the people all the more. Since then.
according to their character or color.
certain newspapers have become
completely silent and others have
again begun their Dragging. Salza-
mann in the Vessische -Zeitung. of
August %. begins his article with
this monumental phrase: "Foch fore
stalls our wish. He is playing our
game One would imagine the
author was going to develop this
thought and support it with argu-
ments. but the entire remainder of
the article is devoted to the merits
of a German machine gun
Karl Rossner. the Kaiser's favorite
correspondent. is of a like bent in the
Lokal Anzeiger of the same day. the
dispatch says. Rossner ignores the
West front situation and tells mintte-
ly OF the anti-aircraft gun.
Military Critics More Era.,k
The military critics. however. do not
observe the same reserve. Count
Reyentlow's paper says Foch is de-
livering such desperate assaults be-
cause the morale of France is so low
an interruption in the offensive would
involve a catastrophe. Gen. Won Ar
denne comes out in the open, though,
by terming the operations on the
front as "Foch's formidable Often
sive."
Some ridiculous statements appear
In other papers. All are intended to
reassure the German people. One
journal, for instance. says the United
States has been obliged to starve
France in order to get sufficient ship
ping. Another paper hints thai s.li-
Gus difficulties have come to pass and
that the Franco A merican co-opera-
ton is no longer as satisfactory as 1t
was few weeks ago."
