straight into the abyss OF Bolshevism.
We are all out to win the war. and that
aim dominates all our differences, all
our grievances the war must come
first"
1t is most unfortunate that the pres
ent trouble which threatens the most
vital artery in the system for the prose-
cytion of the war, should have arisen
from what now appears to be either a
wlful misunderstanding or malicious
intent by interested persons, both among
the men and the employers. to misinter-
pref the Governments action.
The wording of n notice posted by a
firm in Coventry did not truthfully state
the effect or the reasons for the Gov
ernment's action. which was to insure
such n distribution of skilled labor as
would provide the maximum output from
all the factories.
Purport of Notice.
The purport Of the notice as posted
at Coventry was to intimate that the
Government contemplated replacing a
certain proportion of skilled labor. On
the other hand. the men affected insist
they were not consulted as to the rea-
sons for the introduction of such sys-
TEN nor as to its operation. They de-
should have been submitted to them and
discussed before its adoption, partiCu-
larly as regards the transfer of men
from one area to another or from shop
to shop. which, they say, Is an infringe
ment of their rights under the recog-
nized shop regulations agreed upon be-
tween the men, the employers and the
Ministry of Munitions less than a year
ago.
The situation in the munition areas
Is little changed to-day. The number OF
those idle remains about the same. with
little probability of an increase in the
ranks of the strikers The firm atti-
tude taken by the Government and the
total lack of public support are now
showinI their effects in many districts.
The greater number of the strikers are
now in a more reasonable frame OF
mind, and conferences have been ar
ranged in all the munition centres for
tomorrow, when 1t is hoped that the
officials of the trade unions will sue
coed in persuading the members to ac-
cept the Governments offer of an in
quirN into causes and agree to the re-
sumption OF work Immediately.
Officials OF the Department of Ma
ticnal Service are preparing forms for
calling up the strikers for service in
the army some Of these forms already
have been distributed among the
younger men. In Birmingham the strik-
ers' committee asserts that the district
reports show accessions to the strikers
principally women electrical workers.
The district committee at Stirchley. in
the Birmingha m area, passed resolu-
ton pedging themselves to enlist in the
army en- bloc when the first man on
strike in their district receives "A call

SUPERCANNON SITE FOUND.
American Troops Discover 1t Was
mt Breezy.

PARIS. July 27-American troops have
discovered at Breezy, north of Chateau
Thierry, emplacements of German super
cannon which bombarded towns behind
the front, and perhaps Paris.
Breezy, where American troops have
found empIacements of German super
cannon, is a little more than seven miles
directly north OF Chateau Thierry, which
is forty-fve miles east northeast of
Paris. II would be possible to lombard
Paris from Breezy, as the Germans fired
shells about seventy-five miles from the
forest OF st. Gobian. when the big guns
were first used to harass the French
capital.
When the German offensive on the
Marine began on July Is the enemy re-
sumed his long distance bombardment of
Paris. and continued through the 10th.
Since then the big German guns have
been silent. 1t is possible the emplace-
ments found by the Americans were
used by the Germans In the latest bonn
bardment of Paris. At any rate, en-
placements at Breezy show that the Ger
mans apparently considered the place
safe, and counted on advancing south
from Chateau Thierry. They are now
two miles north of Breezy.

VEHICLE
DEP'T |NSTRUCTS
ABOUT LICENSES

The Motor Vehicle Department de-
sires to invite the attention Of all mo-
tor vehicle owners to the manner in
which licenses for motor vehicle are
to be renewed for the year 1919.
The upper half of the certificate
of registration is to act as the appli-
cation for the renewed of the license
for 1919.
Remove the certificate from the
container, detach the upper half, mail
said upper half with fee direct to the
department at Sacramento, return the
lower half with notice to container
and run on same until receipt of new
certificate.
The upper half of the certificate
of registration fully described the
car, and with the owners signature
on its face, together with the proper
fee (arrived at by multiplying the
given horsepower on the fact Of the
certificate by 4Oc) the process sof re-
newal becomes quite simple and eff
fective.
This innovation will help solve
many of the vexatious problems that
the department and the owners have
had to contend with each renewal pc
riod. An owner can now attend to
his own renewal without enlisting
the services of his auto club or deal
er TO assist him in making out an
application. The old system of filing
application for renewal was produc-
tive of so much erroneous inforna-
ton that it's use had to be aban-'
doned. II
The Motor Vehicle Act provides
that owners who file their renewals
prior to January 1 can operate their
cars on their previous years seals
for a period of sixty days; but to
operate after the first of the year
without having filed their renewal is
violation of the law.
Cars should be checked with de-
scription on certificate, particularly
the engine number. If an error ex-
lists, please indicate on the face of
certificate.
