LABOR POLICY ADOPTED BY
 EMERGENCY FLEET CORP.
On Principles and Policies Laid Down
 by the War Conference Board,


 Philadeipnfa July 10.I'The Elmer Eency Fleet Corporation announced today that it has adopted the labor policy formulated by the War Labor Conference Board under date of March 29. 1918. and published March S1 as a component part of it's pro- gramme toward shin ward workers. Approximately 550,0O0 men under the jurisdiction of the corporation are af.. fected.
 The administration of the policy will center in the director of indust- rial relations and it was adopted ac- cording to the announcement, in order that the numerous perplexing ques- tons regarding labor problems. which are continually demanding attention. may be dealt with in consistent and uniform manner.
 The principles and policies laid down by the War Labor Conference Board in part are that there should be no strikes or iockouts during the war that employees and employers shall have the right to organize that em ployers should not discharse workers for membership in unions, that the workers should not use coercive meas ures to induce others to join theil unions, that women shall receive equal pay for equal work, that the basic eight hour day is recognized a! applying in all cases in which ex. tending law requires it, and wages tC be fixed with due regard to labo, standards and conditions.

litical results. The Teutonic allies in Macedonia have been savagely at tacking the entente lines. but have been driven back.
 French troops continue their offen- sive tactics east of the Retz forest, along the line from the Marne to the Aisne. The fighting gradually has ex-
 tended southward along the front
 southwest of Soissons with the French
 repeating their operation of pushing
 the enemy back from strong positions
 from which he might easily reach vital
 ground along the French line of de-
 fense.
 Along the British front, there have been intermittent artillery duels, deepening here and ther into lombard ments of greet intensity. This has been the case east of Amiens where the Germans have drenched Austral- ian positions with shells and then at tackled in an attempt to regain terri tory lost when the Australians and Americans attacked on July 4. The enemy has been repulsed with losses. 1 Near Merfis. the British have improv- i ed their positions in minor action 1 An American squadron has penetrat- i ed far behind the German lines at i Chateau Thierry and it is believed it brought back valuable information as | to the conditions there.

QUENTIN ROOSEVELT
 DOWNS ENEMY AlRPLANE
Combat Was Fought Eight Miles h.
 side the German Lines.

With the American Forces on the Marne, July 10.-Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, the youngest son of ex- President Roosevelt, brought down. his first German airplane this afternoon In fight north of Chateau Thier- ry.
 Lieutenant Roosevelt with three other pilots was flying at a height of 5000 yards, eight miles inside of the German lines when the machines be- came separated. Soon after, Roose- welt saw three planes which he thought were his companions and started to join them. He was close approaching the machines from the rear when he saw his mistake. for the planes were Germans. Roosevelt im- mediately1 opened fire and after fifty shots tracers penetrated the fusilage of the nearest German machine and it went into spinning nose dive, fall ing through the clouds 1000 yards below.
 The lieutenant is certain it must have crashed for no pilot voluntarily goes into a 2o0o yard spinning nose dive. The two remaining German air planes attacked Roosevelt but he managed to make good his escape and returned to the field, himself and his machine unscratched.

COMFORTS FOR AMERICAN
 SOLDIERS AT THE FRONT To Be Provided by a Committee of
 English and Americans.

London, July IDA committee of English and Americans has been form ed with Queen Alexandria as patron ess, to provide home comforts for American soldiers at the front. The chief enterprise of the committee will be sending p3rsels, of food and luxuries which the soldiers cannot obtain at canteens and will be along lines simi- lar to the work of committees which provide for British soldiers. The ac- tivities of the committee will include correspondence with the American troops and adoption" of soldiers.
 Major George Haven Putnam. an American publisher. and Lady Walston of Capbridee first suggested the plan by writing letters to the newspapers. which brought a wide response, in- cludin@ contributions. The difficult ties of transport from America pre- vent Americans from receiving parcels from home as extensively as do the British soldiers Sir Charles Falls ton is chairman of the committee which numbers among it's members the Dutchess of Bedford and Lady Low ther. Queen Alexandria has expressed her approval of the plan in a letter tc Sir Charles. in which she wrote:
 "The scheme to provide parcels fol the splendid American fighting men a the front. I think, is first rate. As theii relatives and friends are so far away let us take their places. Itwill- giyt me the greatest pleasure to beComt patroness of such an organization ant I will do my best to help it."

CBy the Associated Press).

For the moment, the eyes of the al- lied world are turned away from the battle front in France, where the Ger mans are believed to be preparing for a resumption of their offensive against the positions held by the soldiers of the entente nations. The most active area in the various theatres of the war is in Albania. where the French and Italians are continuing their successes against the Austrians.
 The movement has in it possibilities which seem interesting. The rapid progress made by the French and 1tal- ians, the probability that the Austro- Bulgar line to the east past Loke Orchrida may be outflanked, and the possibility that an offensive may be launched along the Saloniki front tend to give the events in Albania some importance at a time when the main battle area is quiet.
 There have been indications recent ly that an offensive might be begun in Macedonia, if for no other reason than to draw Austrian. and possibly German troops from Italy and France. It is reported that the Bulgarians are waT-wearY and that a powerful blow along the front north of Saloniki might bring about notable military and po-

WIRE CONTROL TO COME
 UP IN THE SENATE TODAY.
House Resolution Has Been Favorably
 Reported.

Washington, July 10.--With formal presentation to the senate today of the interstate commerce committees fa- vorable report on the house resolution empowering the president to operate telegra pin. telephone, cable and radio systems during the war, sentiment for the administration measure apparently increased and leaders predicted that it would be passed before the end of the week. Chairman Smith of the interstate commerce committee announced to- night that the resolution will be called up for consideration tomorrow and that if prolonged debate appears probable' an effort will be made to hasten vote by displacing the prohibition bill. Managers of the latter measure, it was said, are willing to have the wire control legislation. regarded as an emergency. given the right of way.
 Most administration leaders, how ever. believe that debate on the wire control resolution will be much short CT than a first anticipated. Adoption of the measure was regarded as certain l by the administration managers while some of the principal opponents pri- vately admit little possibility of it's l defeat
 | Chairman Smith endeavored 10 ex-
 pedite the resolution today by asking 1 unanimous consent of the senate for
 it's consideration, but Senator Penrose ! of Pennsylvania objected, and the res l olution was sent to the calendar sub | jecr to being called up tomorrow.
 Opponents of the legislation, mostly | republicans, are prepared for vigor- l ous attack on the ground that the war
 necessity of the measure has not been | demonstrated and that sufficient in
 vestigation was defeated by a major ity of the committee.
 It is expected that several amend. ments will be offered, including a pro
 posal to eliminate telephone lines. ol
 at least local systems. from the scope
 of the resolution.

THEY ARE REESTABLIsHING LAW
 AND ORDER
REMARKABLE SUCCESS
Overcoming the Armed Opposition of Former German and Austrian Pri. soners-Entente Watching Develop. n1entS.

Washington, July 1O.-The remark aple success of the Czecho- -Slovaks' ir ie-establshlnE law and order in Si- befia and III overcoming armed oppo $itlon from former German and Ans trlan prisoners of war has had fine thecf of suspending the preparation of the plans of the entente allies and the hlted States for the organization of an international military force to campaign in Siberia
 It was stated authoritatively today. however, that none of the plans con Sldered had met the objections of the nIted States government that they involved a weakening of the western front in Europe. Besides this obiec non there has been a reluctance on the part of the administration to de- part from its policy of non-interfer- ence in the internal affairs of a friend " country, although it was admitted that an exception might be justified in the case Of Siberia if \ were clearly established that the native population was torcibly dominated by Austro- German soldiers and influence.
 Halts Plans of America.
 It is understood that an agreement 10 try the American proposal U assist the Russians economically to renabiIi- tate themselves was about as far as the negotiations between the entente and the Washington authorities had progressed when news of the rapid Czecllo- Silovak campaign in Siberia demonstrated the necessity for revis- ion of any plans for military cam lalgn in that country.
 It was said that the developments were so sudden and unexpected that if was not now possible to decide just how and when military aid should be extended.
 There is no intention, however. of abandoning the plan for the introduc- 1 ton into Siberia of supplies from America needed by the people of that i country and the personnel Of the com 1 mission to ta ke charge of this work is now being selected.
 Entente to Give. Support.
 Recognizing the great value of the
 work being done by the Czecho- -Slo- | Vaks in counteracting the German ac- i tivities in Siberia without entry into
 the political nuarrels of the Siberians the entente powers will give the le. g1ons sympathetic and material SUD. port, if need be. as they hold thi,
 would be entirely consistent with al
 attitude of neutrality, in view of tn,
 fact that the Czecho- -SlUvaks are thei allies and are pledged to refrain iron asserting control over the countr- | through which they are passing ono
 they have put it in order.
