A walk-out of all the Colored en-
plOyees at A. Roth & Company, 1851
West Congress Street, was prevented by
the timely arrival of Mrs. Irene B.
Gaines last Saturday morning. Nearly
fifteen women in the employ of this con-
eern had their hats and coats on and
were about to leave but were persuaded
to remain after matters of 4 serious
nature were corrected. The cause of all
the eommotiOn was q large plaeard
placed over a certain part of the build
ing which read: "This Department for
Colored Help" Mrs. Gaines at once ap-
piled to the manager and explained to
him the seriousness of the situation as
well as the gravity of the offense in
placing such q sign on the premises Of
the company, whereupOn he relented and
promised to see that it would be re-
moved. The sign was taken down and
the girls returned to work. This is the
spirit which should be emphasized wher-
ever these disgusting signs appear, also
it is Just the attitude which those in
terested in our welfare should take in
order to bring about cordial relations
between employer and employee. Good
work for Mrs. Gaines and may she con-
time it many days yet to come.

AMERICANS THRILL
FRENCH CITY HELD
BY GERMAN HORDE

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN FRANCE, Dec. 3, Correspondence
of the Associated Press 1T was three
American privates who gave the French
civilians Of the German occupied viii
lage Of Thiaucourt the greatest thrill
Of their lives. For four years they had
been waiting-and then the Americans
came.
When the three privates-an advance
guard OF swarms of other Americans in
their wake-swung into the war-torn
village Of Thiaucourt not a soul was
in the streets. But within a few min
utes news spread among the 700 civil
ians that the Americans were there
and men. women and children came
in droves from cellars where they had
been hiding in terror for two days and
nights. And from other cellars and
dugouts there came 600 German sol
diers who were delighted with the idea
Of giving up.
The offensive Of the first American
army, which wiped out the st. Mthiel
salient, began on a Thursday morning
and 1t was Saturday afternoon when
the weary Americans reached THAI
court, hungry and fatigued from fast
walking in theig eagerness to keep pace
with the fleeing Germans.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Success at
tanned in the manufacture of concrete
ships has been recognized in England,
where, according to a bulletin issued by
the emergency fleet corporation, there
are now building geo such vessels Of
various sizes and representing 200, 900
tons Of shipping. At present this new
industry is centralized on the Clyde and
Aberdeen in Scotland, and near Belfast,
Ireland. The land and capital outlay
already made represents an investment
of approximately $40. 000, 900.
The British admiralty has given much
encouragement to this new industry and
has aided in the adoption Of a design.
1t is estimated hal his design repre-
sents a saving of 20, 900 o Of steel, as
compared with the amount which would
have been required for steel ships Of
like carrying capacity.
Immediately following the announce
ment of government aid between 10 and
50 ways were laid down and many
waste places and bare stretches along
the shores were soon converted into
busy centers.
