March Pays Tribute
 To American Forces
(Continued from Page One)

general staff of the American expe- wooded hills intersected by numerous ravines.
 Gen. March laid particular empha- sis on the determination of the United States to continue to exert it's whole strength against the Germans. He referred to recent publications which, he said, intimated that America was not going through with the war des- pite the enlarged military program. This suggestion, he declared, was "preposterous in it's falsity."
 It seemed incredible, the chief of staff said, that such propaganda could gain attention at a time when the war department had just obtained increas- ed age limits for the draft and was about to ask an additional $7,000,- 000,00 for the use of the military es- tablishment during the present year.
 All reports from American forces at the front indicated high spirits and enthusiasm throughout the whole army. Gen. March said the American soldier quickly became imbued with this spirit when he lauded, if he did not possess it before.

Machinists Ready To Obey Order of
 President Wilson

(Continued from Page One) Union Metallic Cartridge Company he said:
 That any discrimination against strikers is being practiced in our plants I must deny do not say that it is not possible that a man formerly employed by us and who may have struck, might have been turned away from the office. for I am not person. ally acquainted with the incident mentioned. It is quite likely that any man not possessed of one of our passes may not be recognized by the employment office.
 That there may be no mistake about our attitude in taking back those now on strike, several hundred of whom have already returned and been placed at work, I will say that my understanding is that manufac- turers throughout this city are will ing to reinstate the men as they apply on the same basis as when they walk ed out on strike"
 Jarvis Williams was quite frank in his statement that his company was willing to accept the men individually or collectively as they might see fit to return and their status under the government award would not be jeo- pardized.
 The chief developments in today's strike situation consist in the state ment by Jack Moss, chairman of the strikers committee, that the men will obey the President, and a threat by the unions business agent to recall President Johnston, head of the Ma chinists International, with votes to be obtained in Los Angeles and Seat tie, which are great l. W. W. cen ters.
 It was also announced that if the men vote to return on Monday, it is the opinion of their committee they should vote to return in body.
 On behalf of the employers it was announced that the strikers will be re- ceived upon their jobs without dis elimination.
 Jack Moss, chairman of the strik- ers' committee, gave the following | statement, today to a representative ] of The Times Farmer: Tt is an open secret that the Ma | tional Metal Trades is causing a cam pafgn to be made to wipe out if possi- 1 ble every machinists' union in the l country"
 The striking machinists and tool makers, in denying that they are the 1 highest paid workers in Bridgeport, | explained to g. group of newspaper men today the situation in Bridgeport To quote s. Lavit, business agent of the union, it is this way:
 'The machinist who get 50 cents an hour averages approximately SPA 8 week. The machine operator, with a rate of only AZ cents, being forced to work piecework, earned an aver aged of $50 to $55 weekly, before the strike.
 Now then the question which Pres ident Johnston and our International Officers fail to answer is, shall a tool maker and a machinist get just halt of what an operator gets, who merely acquires skill enough to touch a ma chine lever in a few minutes, while it has taken skilled workers years ot apprenticeship to make it possible fol craftsmen to acquire knowledge ot making tools and repairing machines so that operators could continue tc get out production?"
 Said MT. Moss:
 "The strike committee reiterated
 it's pledge to the strikers. at today
 on Monday it will be in a body"

HUN BATTERIES
 TAKEN BY TWO
 BRITISH AIRMEN

With the American Army on Brit ish Front, Aug. 25.-(Correspondenee of the Associated ss)-Capture ot German battery by two British aero- planes was one of the unique incidents of the recent fighting in this area.
 The two aeroplanes had dispersed a battalion of German infanty march ing up toward the battle area, when they sighted a quarter mile behind the German line group of Germans try ing to remove a battery of field guns before the British and American in fantry appeared on the scene. About 50 horses were harnessed.
 The airmen opened fire, seeking chiefly to frighten the horses, which galloped off in all directions. The airmen found it surprisingly easy to drive off the remaining men of the battery, as the British and Ameri- can vanguards were advancing.
 Their last cartridge fired, the two scouts landed and handed the guns over to the British commander.

DAMAGES FOR
 ALIENATION OF HUSBANDS LOVE

What the intent of Ludwicka NeidL swich of Fairfield was in attempting to destroy the affection of MT. Skiba for his wife ,Tillie skiba, will now have to be decided by the court, as Mrs. sktba has brought suit for $1, 900 damages in the Court of Con- mon Pleas today, against the above mentioned Ludwicka Neidswich.
 Tillie Skiba states in her plea that the defendant had on August 10, 1918, related to her husband in the Polish language, which was afterward trans lated to her that she was guilty of unfaithfulness and inf1delity. Fur thermore, the defendant, on the same day, had also told Annie Joyol in the presence of the plaintiff that the plaintiff stole chickens from her neighbors and was a thief.
 Having thus spoiled her reputation and good name and destroyed her husbands affection, Mrs. Skiba asks the court to duly punish the defend- ant.
