With the British Army in France Along the northern front the German armies are still resting on their arms after bitter defeats late suffered.
 They are not sufficiently recovered to make any further threats. They are rushing the reorganization of the badly shot up forces.
 Between Givenchy and Festubert the ground is covered with German dead. The British machine gunners worked their weapons until in many cases the enemy was only 50 yards away.
 There was no chance of missing these point blank targets. Time and again the line wavered and fell back, unable with the deluge of bullets to to get to close quarters, and they left heavy trail of dead and dying on the field.
 In the neighborhood of Rebecq the Germans threw their guns In the Wa ter and swam the canal to get rid of the whitening fire.

Glass Workers Join
Dealers in Fight
On Hearst Papers
Local No. $40 Passes Reso.
luton Pledging Members
Support to Newsboys

Decorative Glass Workers Protec-
tive Association of New York and Vi
cinity, Local $40, of the Brotherhood
of Painters, Decorators and Plasterers
of America, has joined the long list of
labor unions which have indorsed the
strike of the ncwsboys against the
Hearst newspapers. and pledged their
support to the venders.
The resolution indorsinG the strike
of the vendors was passed at a meet
ing held at 60 St. Marks Place, Will
lam E. Mudoon, president of the local.
in the chair. The action was unan-
imous.
Mr.. Muldoon proposed the passage of
the resolution after Andrew Stanton
had presented the case of the dealers.
Mr.. Stanton reviewed their fight for
an opportunity to earn better incomes
and told how the Hearst influence had
prevented their obtaining relief from
the Publishers Association, and which
strike breaking methods, to force the
dealers 10 come to terms.
"This is case where we ought to
do something," said Mr.. Muldoon in
presenting the resolutions against the
Hearst papers. 'It is a fact that since
the outbreak of the war practically
every trade has received higher wages
to meet the increased cost Of living.
The newsboy is alone in earning less.
Not only should we help the boys, but
we should try to induce our friends
TO do likewise
The resolution as adopted reads
Whereas, The newsboys of the City
of New York have been making ef-
forts to improve their living condi-
tions and have, with this end i'll
view, requested the publishers of the
daily papers of New York to allow
them larger margin of profit, and
Whereas, They have been refused
their fair demands because Of the in
fuence of one publisher, the publish
err of "The New York American" and
"The Evening Journal" which papers
they contend the public will not buy
for patriotic reasons, and
Whereas, The newsboys have struck
against these papers in order to at
tain their just ends, therefore, be it
Resolved. That the Decorative
Glass Workers. Protective Associa
ton, Local No. $40, Brotherhood of
Painters, Decorators and Plastercrs
of America, approves and heartily
sympathizes with the strike of the
said newsboys and gives them every
moral ass sstance possible.
