load of bombs to keep us awake half
the night. Well mother / see where
they are going to start the draft from
Is to As and suppose it will catch
Guy about the first thing, but you
don't want to worry the least bit. He
never will regret it and you had ought
to be glad that you have two sons to
help your country. Sometimes I get
little homesick but | am glad I en-
listed when | did if l was young, as
you said. That makes me think, 1
will be Fl day after tomorrow. Don't
seem that l have spent two birthdays
in the army. Well, one thing, l will
never forget this one or at least L
hadn't ought to. Well, mother, tell
all the kids hello for me and write as
often as you can for I doathe same
but I don't get UGH chance as it
is pretty hard to write as we don't
have very good place to write. Yes

Troops in AlsaCe-Lorraine Say
 Invasion Will Be Prevented
KAISER ON VISIT TO FRONT
Pershing's Raiders Pay Visit to Haul mont and Return With Prisoners After Sharp Fight-Germans Con- tinue to Strengthen Defenses.

Amsterdam, Sept 23.-"We never will let Frenchmen or Americans through here,' was the promise given Emperor William by his troops when he visited the Alsace-Lorraine front on September 19 and 20, according to Karl Rosner's Sunday dispatch to the Loka1 Anzeiger
 The purpose of the visit was to thank the troops for having bravely held out and, according to a possibly signifiant remark by the emperor's chronicler, 'at the same time giving them inspiring words for the fresh fighting on the threshold of which we are perhaps standing on the southwest of the empire."
 The emperor first visited the section between MueIhausen and CoImar, where 'in sight of the Vosges front on whose heights and slopes the Ger man positions run and within hearing of the dull roaring cannon fire, Elm peror William, conducted by Field Marshal Duke AIbrecht of Wurttem- burg, the commander in chief of the army group, went from division to di- vision, camp to camp and hospital to hospital"
 ''The emperor passed along the en- tire Lorraine front, but instead of vis- iting staffs, he called on small units, brigades, regiments and battalions It is true that the 'hurrah' feeling of the comm encement of the war has van ished, but everywhere one meets with the same unshakeable calmness which never for a moment doubts of a vic- tOrious resistance"
 The correspondent reveals the fact that the brigade commanded by Prince Oscar, the emperor's son, is stationed on this front. He says Prinice Oscar has returned to the field not withstanding the after effect of his wounds.
 Promise Begins to Crack.
 With the American Army in France Sept 22 (Reuter's 's) Am erican troops raided the enemy lines in the neighbor- hood of Haumont village, in the cen- ter of the new line across the St. Mihiel salient, last night. They cap- tured 25 prisoners.
 The unit attacked Haumont itself It had sharp fighting in the village, taking 20 prisoners and killing and Wounding about 40. The prisoners were members of a Jaeger battalion formerly stationed at Metz.
 American patrols have discovered enemy trenches and a machine gun emplacement south of Donmartin, which is in the Kriemhild line. The enemy continues work all along the front.

War Labor Board Chairmen Hear
 EmployeS and Employers
BOTH SIDES HAVE COUNSEL
Nachinists Ask Taft and Walsh to Revoke Election of Delegates to Convention Which Will Choose Board of Mediation.

Bridgeport, Sept 23.r--To settle diff feTences which have arisen over inter- pretation of the award of Otto M Eidlitz, umpire of the wage award of the National War Labor board in the strike of machinists and toolmakers of Bridgeport intuition plants. William Howard Taft and Frank P. Walsh, rhairmen of the labor board, came here today to give a hearing to repre- sentatives of the machinists' union and of the manufacturers. A group of investigators and examiners also reached here, and it is understood their duties will be to carry out any instructions which may be given by the joint chairmen.
 The chairmen sat in the superior courtroom. The machinists' union was represented by Joseph M. Schultz of New York city, Fred Hewitt, editor of" the Machinists' Journal, and Hugh La.yery of this city. The manufac- turers had for counsel Walter c. Mer- ritt of New York and George Hawley of this city, who has been represent Ing the manufa cturers' association throughout the labor troubles.
 The union asked first that elections already held for delegates to a con- rention which will select a local board of mediation be declared void be- cause the strikers, as the employees most interested, were not represented In those elections. It also asked that the board rule that the mediator sent here shall have the power to rule in individual cases of differences between lhe employe and employers and that the employe affected shall remain at work until the appeal to the labor board is settled.
 The manufacturers contended that the award is not ambiguous. and that while it can be put into effect there were some features which they de- sired to be explained further, that may be carried out correctly, the man. ufacturers further contending That they desired to abide by the decision.
