Gas Poisoning Was Reported.

Feb. l6.-The Germans opposed 10 the
Americans early yesterday made an un-
successful bombardment with gas shells
German airplanes in large numbers
also were driven off by the American
machines and anti-aircraft batteries.
Gas shells in considerable number from
the German guns fell within the Ameri-
can sector early yesterday morning, max
ing necessary the wearing of gas
masks in all parts of the trenches for
more than three hours. One American
was injured by an exploding shell, but
so excellent has been the anti-gas train
ing cf the men that not single case of
gas poisoning was reported. The dura-
tion of the shelling was two hours, but
traces of the poisonous fumes remained
for another hour after the bombardmeIt
had ceased.
Visibility was good yesterday in the
clear, cold atmosphere, and as a result
there was much aerial activity on both
sides. German airplanes in large num-
bers repeatedly attempted to cross the
American lines, but were driven off Ell
ther by anti-aircraft batteries or by the
air squadrons.

DON'T FEAR SPREAD
From Smallpox Which Daniel Houghton
Brought From Maine.

A case of smallpox has been diagnosed
in an apartment in the B. Tomasi block
on North Main street, and while the al
dermanie health committee is seeking a
house that may be used for detention
purposes a strict quarantine is being
maintained among those who have been
exposed The patient is Daniel Hough-

OYER THE STRIKE
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of Navy
Department Meets Hurley
and Others.

| Washington, d. c., Feb l6.--Chairman
Hurley of the shipping board, General
Manager Piez of the emergency fleet cor,
poration, and " Everett Macy, chair
man of the labor adjustment board, con.
ferred with Assistant Secretary Roose-
yelt of the navy to-day on the shipyard
strikes.
Chairman Hurley of the shipping board
again last night sent A. L. Hutcheson,
general president OF the Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners, an insistent de-
mand that he send striking ship earpen
ters back to work in eastern shipyards,
after Hutcheson had notified him that he
was unable to induce the men to go back
Unless he was assured first of definite
arrangement as to working conditions.
The message denounced Hutcheson's
refusal to enter into an agreement signed
by other union general heads putting
disputes in the hands of the shipbuilding
labor adjustment board for settlement,
and called his attention to the fact that
in spite of his attitude local union off
cials were coming to the board with
their grievances.
'Your efforts" said Mr.. Hurley. "have
been confined to demanding special privi-
leges for your organization that would
discriminate in its favor as against the
other class"
Mr.. Hurley said he did not question
the patriotism of the carpenters and
added
"Will YOU ask the men now paralyzing
the shipyards and the nations war pro-
gram to go back to their work and trust
to their government to deal fairly with
themf"

of it being also donated to the Red Tri-

administration announced to-day that
increased shipments of coal for New
