naval BASE ON
AZORES ISLANDS
Fortification Made for Pro-
lection of Atlantic Trade
Route to Southern Europe:
(By Associated PreSs)

WASHINGTON, April 11.-For the
prosecution of the Atlantic trade route
to southern Europe the United States
with the consent of Portugal has es-
tablished a naval base on the Azores
islands. Guns have been landed to
iegin fortification of the station which
in addition to be used as a naval base
for American submarines, destroyers
and other small craft also will serve
as an important homing station for
American airplanes number of which

Negotiations now are in progress
between the state department and the
Portuguese government to insure full
cooperation between American naval
forces and the local authorities of
Portugal on the islands for the ade-

Dogs Killed $4,000 Worth
of Lipe Stock Last Year

Almost $4,000 worth of live stock
was killed in Wayne county in 1917
by dogs, according to figures com
piled by County Auditor Bowman
Following are the figures compiled by
Mr.. Bowman:
Number of dogs licensed in 1917 in
Wayne county, 2,466.
Amount of taxes collected. $3.50.
Amount paid out for live stock
killed in 1917, $1,972.20.
Amount paid out for live stock
killed in 1916, $999.25.
. Increase in 1917 over 1916, $S72.95.
The probable reason for the In.
crease In losses is due to the fact
that there has been . large increase
in sheep raising in the county. The
price Of live stock has also advanced
considerably.

STRIKE CLAUSE
HOLDS UP BILL !.
BEFORE SENATE
President Compers Of Labor
Federation Denounces Pro-
posal to Prohibit Strikes.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. April 11.-Confer-
ence reports on the bill providing Sc
we're penalties for destruction of or
interference with production Of es-
sential war materials, containing the
clause giving workmen the right to
strike for better wages or working
conditions was rejected today by the
senate "a to rs.
The vote taken Immediately today
upon reconvening of the senate and
following yesterdays bitter denuncia-
tion of labor's attitude in the war in
the numerous strikes on war jobs, will
cause the house to reconsider the bill.
The senate's opposition was directed
solely to the clause that the bill
should not restrict workmen from
striking.
Many senators who objected to the
provision regarded today's vote as a
rebuke to workmen who have struck
at shipyards and factories engaged on
war work. Senator Overman Of North
Carolina. who has charge of the mea-
sure, yesterday declared that should
the senate defeat the conference re-
port bcause of the labor clause, the
entire legislation would die.
While the senate was rejecting the
much discussed provision, President
Gompers of the American Federation
Of Labor speaking before the national
conference of lecturers here was de-
nouncing the proposal to prohibit
strikes and walk-outs.
''As a patriotic American citizen" "
declared Mr.. Gompers," serve warn
ing on congress not to permit the dew
iltry and folly OF such law. 1t will
serve only to make strike breakers,
but law breakers as we'll. Nothing
will do more to create resentment
than to make it unlawful for men to
stop work.
Mr.. Gompers complained that Amer
ican newspapers are given to unspar-
ing criticism OF small strikes, appar-
emily forgetting that isolated instanc-
es are of minor importance when 1t is
considered that millions of organized
laboring men are giving their best ef-
forts to the nation.

a certain sector on the front IN France
drove back in disorder on Tuesday q
strong German attack. The enemy s
effort was the heaviest yet made
against an American position, but the
Germans did not get through the wire
entanplemepts and suffered numerous
casualties.
After a violent artillery bomoard-

gas shells were used, especially Sc

checked them at the wire entangle-

For ~ hours before their effort. the
Germans had been firing an increas-

positions and making extensive use OF

enemy began a harrassing fire against
one of our strong points and kept It up
throughout the night. dropping hum

The attackers, who were especially
trained for this operation, were Sc
lected from among the best men IN
three regiments. They were preceded
by shock platoons, but the American
barrage caught them before they were
able to reach our wire entanglenents.
A terrible fire against the advancing
enemy was kept up by the American
batteries. The Germans probably sur
fered severe causalties as several bod
les were seen hanging across the
barbed wire after the enemy retired.
The attack was made in heavy morn

did wonderful work considering the
poor visibility.
As soon as the American barrage
lifted, American infantrymen climbed
from their shelters and attacked the
enemy with. heavy machine gun and

not been dispersed by the artillery

The attack was followed by vio-
