May 31.-The part they may play

There is no doubt that every avail

are actually engaged for it would be
inadvisable to discuss troop move

Director general McAdoo Says
That WaIkouts viii Not Be
Tolerated.
HOLDING FEDERAL JOBS
Heads Of All Labor Organizations
Having shopmen Among Their
Members Are Notified Government
Cannot Be inundated.

Washington, May 31.-Director Cen
eral McAdoo has reminded railroad
employees that they are employees OF
the United States in time of war and
that a strike means a Blow a their
own government and the hampering of
transportation essential to protect the
hundreds of thousands of American
boys fighting on European battlefields.
In a telegram to the heads Of all
labor unions having shop men among
their members, Mr.. McAdoo gave no.
tice that the government cannot be
coerced or intimated and called upon
railroad men to remain at their duty
and rely upon him and the new board
on railroad wages and working con-
ditions for just consideration OF their
claims. He asked the union leaders
to urge upon their men by wire the
wisdom and patriotism Of this course:
Threats of WaIkouts.
A few days ago several hundred ma
chinists and shopmen at Alexandria,
Va, left their posts in Southern rail-
road shops in pEOtest against small
increases given them under the direc-
tor generals new scale Of higher
wages, and there have been threats
of a general walkout OF union shop
men net Monday unless substantial
further pay advances are forthcoming
before that time. "a
1.-THE strike of certain shipmen, ma
chinists, ETC., in the railroad shops at
Alexandria, Va, has created a very
painful expression on the public
mind" said the director generals mes
sage. II cannot believe that these
men knew what they were doing. They
are all employees now of the United
States government They are not en-
ployes of any corporation. therefore
this was strike against the govern
ment of the United States. 0@.
"This is the first time in the history
of our government that any Of its
employees have attempted a strike
against their government. Such action
is incredible For the good of our be-
loved country and for the honor OF
railroad men in the service every
where nope there will be no repeti-
ton of what everyone must condemn
as unpatriotic in the highest degree.
"The government cannot. Of course.
be coerced or intimidated by any of
its employees. 1t Is anxious to do JUS

s.
"E German Advance.
COMBAT STILL RACES
.feutons Are Moving Their Forces in
Fan Shaped Figure, Fighting Hard
est on Fianks at Extreme Front
of Their Line.

London, May 31.-The British and
French armies are slowly btu surely
hating the plunge of the German
crown princes forces.
While the momentum, of the Ger
man masses has not yet spent itself
there has been notable slackening
in it's advance. The chief efforts of
the Germans now seem to be devoted
to the widening of the gap they have
torn in the positions of the Allies be-
tween Pinon and BrimOnt. This work
seems to be- progressing slowly
against the desperate resistance OF
the Allied forces.
T. The French having fallen back from
the limits of the city of scissors have
stood their ground against the attacks
or the enemy, and the German official
statement fails to show material ad-
vances there during the days fight
ing.
The French are here fighting on ia
milfar ground which has been made
historic by numerous battles.
Some Of the Forts Before Rheims Fall.
On the eastern end of the fighting
line, some of the forts before Rheims
are said to have fallen, which was to
be expected from the fact that they
had been outflanked by the tide of
invasion that has. swept far to the
south of the city.
The fighting has taken on the IA
miliar aspect of the first invasion OF
France in 1914, the advance of Won
Mackensen, along the Dunajec and
the fighting in Picardy in March. Al
ter breaking the French and British
defensive positions, but not breaking
the Allied line, the Germans are again
moving their forces out in a fan.
shaped figure, fighting hardest on the
TANKS of the extreme front Of their
advance.
The situation, while apparently ex'
tremely Serious, has not assumed the
critical aspect of the fighting late in
March. The Allies are resisting the
e1emy's attacks stubbornly, giving
ground when overpowered and always
maintaining a solid front.
Advance Nears Marine Valley.
The wave of the advance is now ap.
preaching the valley Of the Marine.
the nearest approach to that avenue
toward Paris being at the village OF
Vez1lly, which lies at the extreme
apex OF the German wedge. is about
seven miles from the river.
The German center is now exerting
every ounce Of its driving power to
gain the Marine and Herewith the
Chalons.Paris railway at Dormans,
Chateau-Thierry, and Ebernay. That
line, cut, the position of the French
Champagne, Argonne, Verdun and
Lorraine armies would become seri-
ously menaced But such a menace
can arise only after Foch's reserves
have been beaten. and France and
Great Britain are supremely conf
dent such a disaster is beyond the
realm of possibility.
In 1914 the Germans advanced over
O front extending from Braisne. just
east of scissors to Vauquois, little
west Of Verdun. After having reach
ed the Marine the Teutons turned the
force of their advance toward the
west, and they may be expected to re-
peat their tactics of four years ago.
