CHARGES DEATH TO SAVE MEN
American Staff officer Falls Morally
Wounded In Gallant Action In
Lorraine.

With the American Army In Lor-
raine.-The fighting on the new Amer

the gallant action of an American
staff officer.
When the officer saw there was
danger of part of his advancing forces
being ~outflanked by German machine
gunners he personally led his men In a
charge against the guns.
He captured one gun himself and
his men took the others. The officer
was wounded, probably MORALLY.

DYE INDUSTRY GROWS
Government Report Shows Re-
markabIe Progress Made.


Washington.-The remarkable sue
cess of the American chemists and
chemical manufacturers in developing
the dyestuffs industry, when the sup
plies of dyes from Germany were cut
off, is strikingly shown in a report
just issued by the United States tariff
commission entitled. Census Of Dyes
and Coal-Tar Chemicals. 1917"
AT the outbreak Of the European
war, Germany dominated the worlds
trade In dyes and drugs derived from
coal-tar. Before the war, seven Amer
lean firms manufactured dyes from
imported German materials. In 1917.
100 American were engaged
In the Manufacture of dyes. drugs and
other chemicals derived from coal-tar,
and of this number, 81 firms produced
coal-tar dyes from American materials
which we're approximately equivalent
In total weight to the annual imports
before the war. The total output OF
the 100 firms, exclusive of those en-
gagged In the manufacture OF explo-
sives and synthetic resins, was yer
100000 pounds with a value Of
about $69,OOO,OOO.
Large amounts of the staple dyes
for which there Is a great demand are
now being manufactured In the United
States. A few of the important dyes.
such as the vat dyes derived from aliz-
arm, anthracene, and carbazol, are
still not made. The needs of the wool
industry are being more satisfactorily
met than the needs Of the cotton In
dustry.
The report gives In detail the names
of the manufacturers of each dye or
other product and the quantity and
value OF each produced. except In
cases where the number of producers
Is so small that the operations of In
divldual firms would be disclosed.
Seventeen hundred and thIrty-three
chemists or engineers were engaged
In research and chemical control of
this new industry. or S.8 per cent of
the total of 1903 employees. The
report also contains an interesting ac-
count of the history and development
Of the industry since the outbreak Of
the European war.

HUN SHELLS ARE BAD
From so to 70 Per Cent Fail to
Explode.
During Marine Retreat the Germans
Used Old Stuff to Keep Up
Morale.

With the American Army In France.
American artillery officers estimated
recently that at certain stages of the
German retreat north of the Marine
from 80 to 20 per cent of the shells
fired by the enemy failed to explode.
One night, after the Germans crossed
the Vesle the enemy fired Y shells
of large caliber into a wooded tract
where American troops were supposed
to be CHARTERED and artillery experts
of one Of the divisions engaged re-
ported that only four of these shells
had exploded.
None Of the American officers sug-
gested that the German shells were de-
teriorating. There had been day after
day of rain during the retreat, and 1t
was believed possible that In the with
drawal the Germans had not been able
to take the usual precautions against
dampness, the result being that many
projectiles from some of the big guns
failed to do anything more than strike
the earth with a thud.
One officer suggested that possibly
the Germans had been firing old shells
rather than no shells at all, the Off
GERS realizing that only a few of them
were exploding, but preferring to keep
the big guns pounding away merely in
effort to keep up the morale Of the
men putting up the rear-guard fight.
The average number of faulty shells
is generally from 2 to 6 per cent.

VESSEL Seized BY
ITS BOLSHEVIk CREW
Dispute Over Possession Of Rus:
sian Ship at Norfolk

Norfolk. Va. March 14.-Members
of the crew OF the Russian steamer
Dmsk, removed late yesterday by Col
hector of Customs Hamilton at the re-
tauest of Captain Edmond 1anoVsl<Y
because Of their BolsheVist tendencies,
on being paroled last night by federal
authorities, armed themselves and
made an effort to take the ship. The
American armed port guard in charge
iof the vessel refused to allow the men
aboard and the police reserves were
sent to arrest them.
Before the police arrived, however,
the Russians defed the guard and
boarded the ship without violence.
Half a dozen port deputies were
rushed to the ship and with the guard
searched the Russians and their quar-
tiers. A large assortment of firearms
and knives was confiscated.
Investigation by Collector Hamilton
revealed that the Russians had sought
to put the principles of the Rolshevikl
into operation on the ship, demanding
that the vessel be operated by COM
lnittec of the crew, with the captain
deposed They also wanted a 25 per
cent. increase in pay. and threatened
10 land the ships cotton cargo in Rus
STA instead of Liverpool, to which port
it is consigned.
This action followed an outbreak on
the ship after she arrived here q week
ago three members Of the crew at
that time driving the American port
guard from the vessel Force was
threatened, and the guard-One man
was allowed to return unm Olested.
Captain YanoVskY then called in Vic
tor E. Carte, counsel to the Russian
Consulate in New York, for assistance
In settling the trouble, but no agree
ment was reached, and Collector Ham
alton was asked to intervene.
After an investigation, the collector,
acting under the new port regulations
issued by Secretary McAdoo, had the
men removed from the ship and de-
aivered to Immig grafton Inspector Nor
ton All were paid off and the ma
jority paroled under guard of a fed
Hral agent, with the idea of sending
them back to Russia. 1t was these
men who returned to the ship armed
Three men who made a demonstra
fion against the naval guard were ar
crested They are John BikOv, Theo-
s1ore Slenschenker and Alexander Ell
rhenko. The first two signed on the
Vessel at Archangel, Russia, and Ell
sehenko at New York. Five Others
found to be ineligible to- entrance into
this country under the immigration
saWs, also were detained.
