The director general departed from

The principle of the basic eight.

exigencies Of the war situation, hours

be made on the basis of eight hours.
In addition to the ordinary scale
OF increase, day laborers employed
mainly on track work are to get at
least 1-2 cents an hour more than
they received last December 81.
Women are to receive the same pay
as men for the same work and negroes
are to get the same as white men for
similar employment.
To work out a multitude OF Unequal

GERMANY RESUMES

DRIVE FOR CHANEL PORTS
u 10 Probable That Americans Arc
Engaged In the Fighting on
Both Fronts.

Germany's great offensive on the
western front has been resumed. With
only brief artillery preparation, two
blows have been struck by the Teu-
ton armies, which have been reorgan-
lied since disastrous losses were in
ficted on them by the French and
British during the Picardy and Fland-
ers battles In March and April. One
attack was on the line from Voormey-
lee to Locre, southwest OF Ypres; the
other on the 35-mile front from Pinon.

known as the Aisne sector.
In Flanders the Germans have gain
ed virtually nothing. but farther south
the Berlin official statement claims
the German crown princes troops
have carried the whole ridge of the
Chemin des Danes and now are fight
ing on the Aisns river.
Recalls Fearful Fighting.
On the Aisne front the present bat
tie recalls the fearful lighting OF last
summer along the Chemin des Danes,
where for weeks the German crown
prince hurled his men against the
French positions only to see them
crushed and beaten. Last year rs di-
visions were engaged In the German
attacks along this line alone.
The attack here is really In the ma
ture OF line-straishtening operation.
1t is being launched from Laon as a
center and is aimed at the elbow In
the line formed during the fighting in
Picardy in March and April. Here,
however. the Germans must face per-
manent works which have been occu.
pied by the French for long periods
and which can be defended quite
easily.
Evidence that the allied supreme
command was forewarned OF the new
German attack may be found In the
fact that British troops are fighting
there. Up to the present. 1t had been
believed that the British forces did
not hold positions much south of the
Somme, cast of Amiens.

been daring raids. The Rhine cities
are being frequently bombed while
Paris has again been In danger of a
new German attack from the air.
American aviators have borne n
prominent part in this fighting. In
the Luneville and Toul sectors they
have given a magnificent account OF

even In the defense of London they
have demonstrated their fighting ca.
pacity.
The German plans for a resumption
OF the offensive in France have been
seriously hampered by the sudden
blows OF allies here and there along
the front. The Germans have been
forced back at numerous points and
new lines which may be moro easily
defended have been established by
the allied nations.
The Americans on their own sectors
have given the enemy no rest. The
artillery has battered the German
lines night and day. while the infan.
