AMERICANS MAKE GOOD
IMPRESSION IN BIG BATTLE
Machine Gunners' Record at Chateau
Thierry Bridges Is Classed With
Achievements OF Infantry at Cam
tigny.

The part played by American mach
ne gunners in the defense of the Cha
teau-Thierry bridges is classed by
Reuters correspondent at French
headquarters as worthy to stand with
the achievements of the American in
fantry recently at Cantigny. Tele-
graphing under date of Monday the
correspondent writes:
"On Friday when the Germans were
already in the outskirts of Chateau
Thierry an American machine gun
unit was hurried thither in motor
lorries. The Americans had scarcely
reached their quarters when news was
received that the Germans had broken
into the northern part of Chateau
Thierry, having made their way
through the gap driven in our lines
to the left of the town and then pour
ing along the streets to the bridge,
intending to establish themselves
firmly on the south bank and capture
the town.
Fight With Great Courage.
"The machine gunners and French
colonials were thrown into Chateau
Thierry together. The Americans i'm
mediately took over the defense of the
river bank, especially the approaches
to the bridge. Fighting with their
habitual courage and using their guns
with an accuracy which won the
highest ecomiums from the French
they brought the enemy to a stand
still.
ALREADY wavering under the Am
erican fire the Germans were counter
attacked by the French colonials and
driven from the town. They returned
to the attack the next night and under
cover of darkness crept into the town
along the river bank and began to
work their way through the streets
toward the main bridge. At the same
moment a tremendous artillery bonn
bardment was opened upon the south
ern half of the town.
Germans Get Big Surprise.
when within range of the machine
guns the Germans advanced under
cover of thick white smoke from
smoke bombs, in order to BATTLE the
aim of the American gunners. A sur
prise. however, was in store for them

again at night the young American
soldiers showed courage and de
termination which aroused tn
admiration of their French colonia
comrades. With their machine gun
they covered the withdrawal of troop
across the bridge before its destruc
ton and although under severe fir
themselves, kept all the approache
to the bank under a rain of bullet
which nullitied all the subsequent ei
forts of the enemy to cross the river.

HELPS WORKERS IN DENMARK
Proved Of Material Benefit to
People In That Country.

In 1907 Denmark enacted a labor
insurance law. Fully III. 600 persons
and 90 per cent Of the workmen in
Denmark are now insured. (The pro-
portion Is 73 per cent of the men in
surable and % per cent Of the insur-
able wOmen) Practically all the in
dustrial laborers are insured under the
act.
Within the limits prescribed by the
law, the conditions of unemployment
insurance vary with each fund. The
dues vary from the minimum of 81 40
paid by the unskilled wOrkmen to the
maximum Of 81 per year paid by the
workers in StuccO. The daily sti-
pend is one. one and half, or two
krone, according to thf financial status
Of the fund. A krone Is equal to about
q cents. The period of payment runs
from SO days in the year allowed the
unskilled laborers to the maximum of
100 allowed the printers. The total
amount of the benefits paid in 1912
was $459, $40, of which 53.S per cent
was distributed by the members; 31.9
per cent by the state. and 14.3 per cent
by the cOmmunes. The sums spent
in aid of unemployment from all
sources for the five years, during
which the act has been in operation,
amounts to $1,755.OOO.

ALL CALLED on TO WORK
Must Be Apparent to Every One
At This Time.

Labor has gained throughout the
last yeaR in the feeling and thought
Of the world. The strain and perils Of
the times have brought an unusually
sober and reflective state of mind. Men
and women have been more than COM
monty concerned with the gravest
problems of existence. They have
given more than the ordinary consid-
Grafton to the needs and dangers of
life.
All this has contributed to the dig
nifty and honor Of hard work. Never
was there more general recognition
of the necessity OF meeting real trials
manfully and playing Il mans part in
the serious business Of living. Never
in recent times was 1t more difficult
to shirk without discredit or spend
the crowded years in idleness without
forfeiting respect and reputation. The
world has SO much to do, SO many
great tasks crowded upon its mental
and physical resources that work is
more than ever before the plainest and
most vital duty Of all who have
strength for service.

Unionists Defined.

Wage workers, members in good
standing of the union Of the trade or
calling at which they are employed,
who realize as q fundamental prin-
ciple the necessity of unity of all their
fellows employed at the same trade or
calling; who recognize the vital, logical
extension. growth and development Of
all unions Of all trades and calIings
and who strive for the unity, fedora
ton, cooperation, fraternity and soil
darity Of all organized wage earners {;
who can and do subordinate self for
the common good and always strive
for the common uplift; who decline to
limit the sphere of their activity by
any dogma, doctrine or ism-finally,
those organized wage workers who
fearlessly and insistently maintain and
contend that the trade unions, the
trade union movement, are paramount
to any other form Of organization or
movement of labor in the world, are
the ideal unionists.

from the rostrum. but the men and
women who do the worlds work and
produce the worlds wealth are rapidly
learning that their dignity as well as
their happiness depends upon their in
sistence on a more equitable distri-

They have learned that the only way
to secure anything like fair division
is by organized effort through banding

they have raised the standard Of living
