 AN AM ERIcAN ENGINEER.
Put Him in Cage and Exhibited to
 Natives Like a Wild Animal.

A Pacific Port, May 6.-After being captured by Chinese bandits, robbed of fortune and, hauled through the interior of China in a cage in which he was exhibited to the natives like a wild animal, and from which he finally escaped by bribing a guard, E. J. Pur- cell, an American railway engineer, ar rived at this port today en route from the Orient to New York. He was ac- companied by his wife and three chil- dren, who were in Picking during the time Purcell was held prisoner by the bandits.
 The engineer said he and G. A. Kyle, also an American engineer, left the village of Yen Chang, in the prov ince of Honan, China, on March 2d on surveying trip. They took with them a number of Chinese assistants, twenty soldiers and carried seven large boxes of American currency totalling about $125, ,O00
 On the fourth day out they were overpowered by bandits who tool, Purcell, put him in a cage and trans ported him 200 miles into the noun tains subjecting him to all manner of humiliations and hardships, including that of being exhibited as a freak Kyle, he said, was taken in custody by another bandit band, but was rescued by Chinese soldiers.

LABOR DELEGATES HOLD
 A CONFERENCE IN PARIS
American Delegation Was Received by
 Ambassador Sharp.

Paris, May 6.-Members of the American delegation representing labor organizations had a conference ex-' tending over an hour and a half this, morning at the headquarters of the labor federation with Leon Jouhaux. secretary of the federation, Albert Thomas, ex-ninister of munitions, and other labor and socialist leaders. The meeting was private, but it is under stood from conversation with the members that the role labor delegates will play in the eventual peace con ference and the question of an inter national labor conference was dis cussed.
 James Wilson, one of the American party, said that after hearing the views of French leaders he had been impressed by the unity of the ideas among socialists in the different allied countries on the subjects under dis cussion He said he would report the views expressed to the American un- ions on his return to the United States. Socialist party leaders are said by the socialist press to be dissatisfied with the attitude of the American labor delegates, but the press generally is most favorable in it's comment on the declarations made by James Wilson and George L. Berry, members of the American delegation, that the Germans must abandon autocratic rule before the Americans would talk to them. The American delegation was re- l ceived at the embassy this afternoon by American Ambassador William Graves Sharp, after they had lunched with the workers at the canteen of one of the immense munition plants and

UNREST IN SLOVENIAN
 DISTRICTS OF AUSTRIA.
Recent Conflict Between Germans and Slovenians Ended in BIoodsked.

London, May 6.-Unrest in. the Slo- venian districts of Austria is growing daily, and mutiny is spreading with great rapidity, Reuters Limited an- nounced today it had learned from a Serbian source, a recent conflict be- tween Germans and Slovenians ended in bloodshed.
 The clash between Germans and S1o- venians occurred at the railway station at Windischgraetz Slovenian women became greatly infuriated and took part in the fighting Several of the wounded combatants were taken to a hospital
 Further Information has been re- ceived regarding the recent encounter between Germans and Slovenians |. at St. Jean. The gathering there was convoked by Slovenian deputies with the object of spreading among the peasants sentiment in favor of sep aration from Austria and also of in- creasing the feeling against the Ger mans. The speakers urged the Slo- venians to free themselves forcibiy from the German yoke, and the chair man of the Jugoslav club asked that all fight for an Independent Jugoslay state. The Slovenians cheered for il and the Germans responded witt cheers for the Hapsburgs. This led tc fighting and bloodshed.

MAKES FOR INEFFICIENCY
 IN MEDICAL PROFESSION
Dr.. George BIumIer Deplores Govern
 mental Policy.

Atlantic City, N. J., May 6.-The governmental policy with regard to the medical profession makes for in efficiency and unrest, Dr. George Blumler of Yale university told the American Society for Clinical Investi- gation, of which he is president, at the opening session of it's annual con- vention here today. He declared the governments policy was one of "un- certainty and urged the delegates to give the matter every attention and in terest themselves in guiding the i'm minent changes" in the right course.
 The: fate of the medical schools and therefore, the fate of medical educa- tion, lies largely in the hands of the surgeon generals office," said Dr. Blumler. While doubtless forced into
 an illogical position by circumstances the attitude of the surgeon generals office to medical education had resulted in a situation which. can hardly be described as ideal.
 On the one hand. the authorities al i Washington have insisted that medica schools must be maintained in an eff cient condition, while on the other hand, the same authorities have con sistently depleted the schools of theil normal teaching forces.
 From the point of view of medica
 education it would certainly have beer wiser and fairer to have mobilized tn,
 entire medical profession and assigned ] them to their work rather than t 1 have pursued the present policy,

despatches filed by correspondents at the front, there come intimations that heavy fighting may be resumed at any time. The fact that heavy rains are falling may have a great deal to do with the delay in the German drive, but the allies hold high ground from which they can observe the German positions, which are generally in the lowlands, and have kept up a heavy artillery fire in sectors where the Ger mans have been gathering or have been at work in bringing up guns for the battle which is virtually certain to come.
 There is a feeling along the French front that the Germans may attack in the Ypres, Arras and Amiens sectors at the same time. These blows, while car ried on independently, would really be phases of a new attempt to cut through the lines in the Somme sec tor, eliminate the Arras sector and carry the high ground to the south west of Ypres.
 It has been pointed out by observ. CTS that an attack on the Arras sector either on the apex between Arras and Lens or on the sides of the allied lines as they stretch back from those cities must come before the Germans can hope to carry their advance in either Flanders or Picardy much further. Il 1 is reported that heavy forces are be- ing gathered before Arras for the ex- pected attack.
 Little relative to the internal situa- tion in Austria has come over the cables. but from Serbian sources it is learned that on at least two occasions there have been clashes between the Slovenian population of that country and the Germans.
 The methods by which the German military authorities have dealt witt the Ukrainians have been denounced il
 both Berlin and Vienna by socialis ] leaders.

CANADIAN ARMY HAS
 TAKEN OVER TRENCHES
In Addition to Its Front from Hill 70
 to GavreIIe.

Canadian Army Headquarters in France, May 6-(By The Canadian Press, Limited) The Canadian army has taken over trenches in the vicinity of Neuville- -Vitasse, Mercatel and Boisleux-St. Mare, in addition to it's front from Hill 70 to Gavrelle.
 In their new quarters, as we'll as north of the Scarpe, they have been keeping the enemy constantly on the alert. Prominent in the operations in this area was the raid last Friday troops, under the cover of artillery and machine gun barrages, penetrated the enemy outpost line on a 500 yard front to a depth of 409 yards. The raid, which was carried out on the Arras road north of the Cojeul river, was conducted at only light cost, but both sides of the road were marked with enemy dead. His casualties could not be less than one hundred and we captured seven prisoners and four machine guns. On the extreme right of the Canadian attack the enemy of fered very little resistance, but heavy fighting took place on the left.
 Again on the morning of April 29 a very successful raid was carried out by Ontario troops against enemy po-
  1 Vitasse. They captured ten prisoners and four machine guns. The Canadians remained in the enemy lines twenty minutes, inflicting numerous casualties on the foe, who, in places, offered stubborn resistance. Despite the hand to hand fighting, the Canadians re l turned to their lines with only nin' killed or missing.
 l Another feature of the minor activi tv of the Canadian forces in this sec tor was the assistance rendered Eng | fish troops whose lines had been at tackled by hostile raiders. An Ontario company officer, acting on his owl initiative, organized a counter -attacl and cleared half the trench, whil English forces, operating from tn south, completed the clearance. Throw back upon his positions in disorder the enemy later attempted an attacl in some force. It failed completely being broken up by artillery, machin gun and rifle fire.
 The new section of battle iron
 taken over by the Canadian troops lie
 to the southwest of Arras and is abou
 three miles in length.
