CRAFTSMEN SEEKING
INCREASE OF WAGES

Higher. wages for craftsmen en-
ployed at the navy yard and in va
rious other departments of the gov
eminent are asked for by this class
of employees.
At a meeting last night at Per-
petual Building Association Hall, 18th
and E streets, it was decided to pre-
sent the matter to the government
officials Immediately for action. A.
L. Sterne, organizer for the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor. addressed
the meeting and was chosen by the
craftsmen to lead this compaign.
There are about 1876 craftsmen en-
chanics have had their pay increased,
it is complained that craftsmen have
not been advanced. 1t is said also
that mechanics from the shops with
some knowledge Of drafting have
been put in drafting rooms and re-
ceive the first-class pay they were
given in the shops.
Although the Marcy board has had
the case of craftsmen under advise
ment since June rs. 1t is declared
that nothing has been done. It Is
the Navy Department to grant at
once temporary relief In the form of
substantial increases.
NJ. Sterne stated today that a mass
meeting Is to be held within the near
future at which time the plans of
the craftsmen for q demand for in
creased wages will be formulated.
At the Washington navy yard 1t was
stated by Capt. Willard, that no for
NAL application for increase Of pay
by the craftsmen had been made.

preached the American trenches at
one point. The raiders were driven
of by rife fire. The artillery fire was
active on both sides in this sector, the
enemy using tear and sneeze gas
shells. In the Woevre district an
American patrol penetrated the enemy
lines after cutting seven strands Of
barbed wire. Other patrols met small
German groups and drove them off
without difficulty. The enemy artil-
lery and machine gun activity in the
Woevre increased slightly.

wounded Germans and rescued two
wounded Americans The rescued
Americans had had little food for two
days and virtually no attention. The
Americans did not complain, however,
as the German wounded were not
given much attention, either. This
was due to the confusion of the re-
treat and the great numbers Of
wounded Germans who poured into
the station as the Americans adj
vanced.
In this dressing station were found
quantities Of French lace curtains,
which had been cut into strips for
bandages. and also crepe paper, used
for the same purpose. The lace had
been taken by the Germans from
French homes in various sections.
sterilized and indicated, cut into
strips and rolled, the same as reEu-

examined the lace said that it un-
questionably was Of French make.
The Germans evidently had been
obliged to use bandages of this type
because of the shortage Of material
in Germany.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, September 3.-The British
victory in the battle of the Drocourt-
Queant line seems complete. Without
having delivered single counter at
tack, and staggering from the blows
administered to them yesterday. the
Germans during the night and early
this morning were in full flight Tor
the eastern side of the Canal du Nord.
The enemy Is trying to save what
men and material he can from the
wreck in and behind one of the most
powerful defense systems ever de-
vised. The much boosted Drocourt-
QuSant line, or. as the Germans call
1t, the Wotan line. is totally shattered.
The British are driving far through
1t. and the Germans are hurrying
eastward. leaving behind only pockets
of machine gunners. and even resist
ance from these is gradually melting
away.
Fight Way Southwark.
Strong British forces are now fight

they go. Meanwhile, a little south
from here, another force is driving on
the Hindenburg line frontally. The
Hun has tasted disaster in the Dro-
court line battle. and now his disor-
ganized and badly depleted forces are
working fast to prevent an even
greater catastrophe overtaking them.
The British are rapidly approach

During the forenoon the British
infantry moved forward so rapidly at
many places that they completely
outran their own artillery and pressed
on with only machine guns preceding
them. Since then. however. the guns
have been brought UP and are pump

had to swing southwark, then east

Instances Of Disorganization.
Some idea of the German .disorgani-
zation may be had from the fact that
number of crews Of German howit-
zers captured were standing around
their guns which they had blown up.
Others complained that they had had
nothing to eat for four days because
of the great disorganization at their
rear.
The lack OF German shellf1re was
explained in many instances when
gunners captured said they had no
ammunition. Many times. they de-
clared. they could have fired with open
they had no shells and could not get
any.
Description Of Canal.
The Canal du Nord is simply a canal
under construction and coYtains no
with the top off. It is eighty feet
across and sixty feet deep, with its
sides, for the most part granite
walled, sloping slightly inward to-
ward the bottom. There may be as
hard fighting here as there was last
year.
1t was early in the morning after
q night in which a most stubborn
battle was fought. that the Germans
began to show real signs of gener-
ally being beaten. The first substantial
Indication that the Germans admitted
defeat was when the British troops
entered Recount. They had been in
the town only a few minutes when
the enemy artillery began Smelling it
heavily from a distance.
Many Killed or Captured.
Large numbers of Germans have
been killed or taken prisoner. Thou
sands Of prisoners are coming into
mans in its cages this forenoon. How
many machine guns were captured
will not be known for many days, but
there were thousands.
The prisoners were Of all sorts, in

dismounted and fought as infantry
The hard-pressed German command
ers took men from anywhere no
matter what they were supposed to
be doing, and put them in the line
with rifles and machine guns in an
effort to stem the tide.
How many dead there are it is i'm
possible even to estimate. The scene
Of the battle in many places shows
that the Germans suffered terrible
losses. The German formations which
opposed the British have been liter
ally torn to pieces and the tearing
still continues along the linden
burg line and to the south.
