BELGIAN ARMY HOLDS
GERMANS in CHECK
Defeated Several Foe Attacks in
Week. Says Legation.

A summary Of last weeks opera
tions was made public by the Bel
gian Legation as follows:
During the last week. we have
successfully carried out several re-
connaissances In the enemy lines,
and have defeated several attemepts
to penetrate our advanced positions
in the vicinity of Niewendamme, near
st. Georges, and in the Merckem re-
gion.
Artillery FIRE was directed chiefly
toward the communicating trenches,
ard the cantonments behind the lines.
Our guns effectually bombarded the
enemy's batteries, and silenced a large
number of them. In the region or
Dixmude and Nieuport, combats with
bombs and grenades took place. A
squadron Of enemy aeroplanes at
tempted an attack on one of our ba!-
looms, but was put to flight by 8
squadron Of Belgian planes.
During the greater part Of the
week conditions have been unfayorablc
for aerial naneuvers."

Dora Ebert Murder Case
May Go to Grand
F., Jury. a..

Annapolis. Nd, April s-The discov-
cry Of a pair Of shoes. identified as
those of Archer Isaac. a negro track
walker, arrested after he reported
the murder. Of Miss Dola Ebert of
Portland last Friday, throws i'm
portant light upon the case. $780,.
Isaac, who came with his, version Of
the crime to Odenton. was barefooted
at the time. He has given various
reasons for being shoeless. The shoes
were found near a pool Of water. and
Eden Watts of Odenton. recognized
them as pair he gave the negro
trackwalker. Detectives have found
stains upon the shoes that look like
blood.
Scratches % Isaac's face seem to
indicate that he struggled, not with
men,. who rarely fight with claws, but
with a woman trying to defend her
self from the attack of brutal man.
No time has been fixed for the
holding OF the inquest, and It is
thought probable that States Attor-
ney Nicholas H Green may deter
mine not to have one held. but will
take the course pursued in the
Brandon murder case Of taking the
case direct to the grand jury.
The grand jury will convene one
week from today. and by that time
the states attorney hopes to. have the
case ready for presentation to that
body.
Detectives Joseph Dougherty and
Thomas Hogan of Baltimore. who fig
ured in the Brandon murder case last
autumn, came here yesterday and are
assisting in the work Of solving the
murder.

tiOns and powers Of the board as
approved from the White House
will be as follows:
Powers of Board.
To bring about a settlement, by
mediation and Cancellation, of every
controversy arising between eII-
pI0yers and workers in the field
Of production necessary for the ef-
feCtive conduct of the war.
To do the same thing in similar
controversies in other fields Of ma

of the National Board, affect det-
rfmentally such production
To provide such machinery by ap-
pointment or otherwise, for the Sc
lection of committees or boards to sit
in various parts of the country where
controversies arise, to secure settle
ment by local mediation and concHia-
ton.
To summon the parties to the con
troVersy for the hearing and action
bv the National Board in case of fail
ure to secure settlement by local me-
diation and conciliation.
To Prevent Strikes.
The main purpose of the board will
he to prevent lockouts and strikes
during the war. The rights of work
ers to organize in trade unions will
be recognized. also the rights of en-
ployers to organize in associations or
groups.
Other conditions will prevent en-
ployers from discharging workers
for membership in trade unions. or
for taking part in legitimate union
activities. Workers. on the other
hand, will be denied the right to use
coercive measures Of any kind to in
dUce persons to join union organiza-
tions. or to induce employers to bar
gain or deal with the unions.
At the conclusion of the recent la
Dor conference Mr.. Taft, who served
as a representative of the public, ap-
proved the suggestion for a National
Labor Board. He said:
II am profoundly gratified that the
conference appointed by Secretary of
Labor Wilson has reached an agree
ment upon the plan for q National
Labor Board"
Mr.. Walsh commended the plan as
follows:
The principles declared might be
called an industrial chart for the

maximum production, and to the
worker the strongest guaranty Of his

Commission Calls for Local
Men to Obviate Worse
Housing Problems.

A special appeal for washingtonians
to enter the government service was
issued yesterday by officials of the
Civil Service Commission, with the
object of obtaining clerks already liv-
ing in Washington or within commut-
ing distance, thus solving the housing
problem to a certain extent.
The war demand for stenographers,
typists and bookkeepers Is great here
and will continue so for an indefinite
period. Many other examinations re-
quiring special training are also open.
Most Of these positions pay relatively
high salaries.
Regulation Repealed.
The commission calls attention to
the fact that for the period of the
war. Congress has repealed the
regulation requiring persons to be
examined for government positions In
the State or territory in which they
reside. One can now be examined
wherever an examination is being
held. 1t is realized that every en-
ploye obtained in Washington or the
surrounding counties will relieve the
housing situation,
Coincident with this appeal to
Washingtonians to enter the govern
ment service comes the announcement
Of the opening Of new civil services
BY the Wilson Community Center.
Courses in stenography. typewriting,
arithmetic, English, including civil
service composition and spelling,
French and Spanish, besides classes
OF dictation in shorthand, will be
formed.
While $500 men are coming to
Washington within the next few
weeks. to work on temporary office
structures, it is said that this influx
Of workers will not increase the hous-
ing problem. Officials of the Depart
ment of Labor state that arrange
ments have been made to house these
workers in. temporary buildings near
their PLACES OF employment.
Housing Bureau Busy.
A tentative plan for the housing of
war workers is being mapped out by
Otto Eidlitz and his co-workers of
the housing bureau. The nature of
the plans will not be definitely an
nounced, however. until the housing
bill passes the Senate.
The bill carries items OF $5O,000.0O0
for housing at war factories in the
United States and 100000 for hous-
ing government workers in Washing
ton.
