TEACKEROUS GERMAN IS KILLED BY GRENADE

With the American Army in France Sunday, April 21.---By The Associat ed Press 1.-Two low flying German aeroplanes were brought down Satur- day by American machine gunerns during the German attack in and about Seichseprey, northwest of Foul The machine gunners who bagged the Germans had been ordered to retire, but they remained in their position and fought effectively against the en- emy aviators.
 During tho engagement the Ger mans concentrated their artillery fire on the American telephone and tele- graph wires which were cut many times Couriers were forced to pass through two or three barrages in Dr. der to maintain communication. In the meantime men of the signal corps in face of a heavy bombardment re- stored the wires almost as fast as they were shot away.
 l Ambulance men veutured into No Mans Land during the thick of the fight and did heroic work in gathering up wounded. One German who had offered to surrender attempted to ex- plode a bomb on the ground as threc Americans approached him. Another soldier, however, discovered the trick and hurled at the German a grenade One of the Germans legs was blown off and he died later, a prisoner of the men he attempted to blow up.
 A village near the front lines which the correspondent visited today tells a mute tale of Saturdays fighting There are huge shell holes in the streets and parts of the church and othr buildings have been blown off.
 The enemy fire became so hot here that Salvation Army girls who ha6 been serving coffee and doughnuts tc the Americans were forced to leav The girls protested, saying that they were not afraid of the Germans, an6 wanted to stay in their dugout. but the officers did not want to take the responsibility. As they left the girl: were cheered by soldiers returning from the front lines

FULL TEXT OF THE
 RESOLUTIONS GIVEN
Utilization of Labor Needed in War Activities One of
 Objections.

Under the title of Unnecessary inn provements," the War Industries Board of the Council of Nation al De. efense has issued a bulletin contain ing the copy of resolution which il recently passed setting forth the nee sity for the Animation of capital ex- penditures for either public or pri- vate undertakings not essential to and not contributing either directly or indirectly toward the winning ot the war"
 This federal action is in line with necticut some months ago by the Con- necticut some months ago by the Con1 necticut State Council of Defense that non essential industry was discour- aged and that some federal action in the matter might be anticipated.
 The text of the resolution passed by the War Industries Board follows:-
 "Whereas it has come to the notice of this board that new industrial cor porations are being organized in diff erent sections of the United States, for the erection of industrial plants which cannot be utilized iE the pros- ecution of the war; and
 Whereas plans are being consid- cred by certain states, counties, cities and towns for the construction of public buildings and other improve ments which will not contribute to- ward winning the war; and
 Whereas the carrying forward of these activities will involve the util- ization of labor, materials and cap ital urgently required for war pur- poses:
 Now, therefore, be it received by the War Industries Board, that in the public interest, all new undertakings not essential to and not contributing either directly or indirectly toward winning the war, which involve the utilization of labor, material and cap- ital required in the production, SUD- ply or distribution of direct or in- direct war needs, will be discouraged, notwithstanding they may of local importance and of a character which should in normal times meet with every encouragement.
 Be it further resolved that in fair ness to those interested tberein, mo- tice is hereby given that this Board will withhold from such projects pri- ority assistance, without which new construction of the character men, toned will frequently be found i'm practicable, and that this notice shall be given wide publicity, that all par ties interested in such undertaking may be fully appraised of the difficult ties and delays to which they will be subjected and embark upon them at their peril

INTERNATIONAL EGG CONTEST

In the twenty-fourth week of the laying contest at Storrs Connecticut pen of Leghorns entered by George Phillips of Seymour set a new high mark for weekly production in the present competition. Up to this time a Massachusetts pen of Rhode Island Reds hald the weekly record with a yield of ,5S eggs. The Connecticut pen has now set this aside and pushed the mark up to 59 eggs. Charles H. Lanes Rhode Island Reds from Southboro, Mass, were in second po- sidon for the week with a yield of 57 eggs. Albert T. Lenzen's White Rocks from North Attleboro, Mass, and Deer Brook Poultry Farm s Rhode Island Reds from Short Falls, N. H., tied for third place with 54 eggs each. A pen of Barred Rocks from Massachusetts, another from New York and a pen of Leghorns from New York all tied for fourth place with 53 eggs each. The total yield of. 5S per cent.
 Early in February the Food Admin 1 istration issued an order prohibiting the sale of live or lately killed hens and bullets. This order known as Rule 14 threw a little scare into the poultrynen of certain sections. This rule was to have been in force until the 1st of May; it is, however, now rescinded nearly two weeks earlier 1 than at first planned. This fact, how ever, should not have any apprecia- ble effect on the amount of native poultry offered for sale; the broilers are not: yet ready and the hens and bullets are laying too many eggs to think of selling them; furthermore, if everyone rushed to unload the minute the rule is removeid, such action would in itself tend to upset the mar ket

Poindexter Says Leaders ofLabor Contemplate Action for Mooney. MOVEMENT WILL
 TIE UP COUNTRY Senator Makes Startling Assertion Without
 Apparent Base.

Washington, April g - A movement by Washington la bor leaders to call a general strike on May 1 as a protest against alleged persecution of Thomas Mooney and others convicted of the bomb conspir- acy in San Francisco, was re- ported to the Senate today by Senator Poindexter of Wash ington, who denounced it in vehement terms as "blackmail'' on the government, sedition and treason.
 Senator Poind:xte~ submitted a letter from Secretary James A. Dun- can of the Seattle Central Labor union saying a referendum on the strike was being circulated. He also presented a resolution of a Seattle trade union declaring widespread suspicion. eAlSU3 dIDOnS WOThIISl that the bomb plot convictions were an attempt to discredit organized la bor
 The movement, Senator Poindextel declared, is in harmony with the In dustrial Workers of the World, Bol sheviki and other international un' rest. Repudiating and denouncine leaders of the movement as not friends of labor, Senator Poindextel said:
 Tt is moral treason. The act itsel being worse than death by an un speakable crime, is deserving of thu extreme penalty of death. The threa to commit it is a crime against th' state and the government. These mel should be arrested and dealt with a disloyal traitors"
 Senator Poindexter said Moone. and his co-defendants had undergont the usual court processes and tha the Seattle labo pr movement was b. false representative of labor, indi cative of a general international law less effort. The charge that thu bomb plot prosecutions were design ed to discredit organized labor, he as serted, "was scandalous' and based |, on mere suspicion.

GERMAN TONGUE
 ELIMINATED BY
 THE METHODISTS

New Britain, April 20-The elimi- nation of German publications and the gradual reduction of literature in other foreign languages were recom- mended to the Methodist Book com mfttee at the New York East confer ence today. In the discussion of the recommendation it developed that there will probably be a recommen- dation to the conference that home mission support will not be granted to churches for foreign speaking peo- pie unless at least one service during the day is held in English.
 The discussion developed was the most forceful of the conference. Dis trict Superintendent Dr. E. G. Rich ardson of the Brooklyn North district declared in favor of withdrawal of home mission support unless a service is held in English and the develop ment of the Americanization of ali the foreign speaking people. T have seen statements in German papers that we would not approve o1 !. and when German victories were re- l ported they gloried in the victories, ? said Dr. Richardson.
 Dr. H. H. Beattys of New Rochelle was one of the leaders in the opposi- ton to German publications. He said he 'ddd not wish to impugn the patri- otisIn of some of the Germans. With much vigor he expressed himself or the German national spirit. Put the 1 ban On anything that threatens Amer. l ica," he said.
 | The Rev. George W. RoeSch of Lyn- brook, L. l., took the floor in defense of his many German parishioners He said that his father and many others had faithfully served Method ism.
