Alabamas Tackle Huns With Knives and Fists
 and Put Them to ROut

 Roche. Our division and regiment behaved gloriousIy. We have dem-
 onstrated once and for all that we
 can whip any number of Huns.
 The French say they never saw the
 equal of our men for sheer nerve
 and deviltry. Their only criticism
 was that they are too terrible.
 They kill the Boches with rifles,
 bayonets, gunbutts. knives and
 with their fists. The most wOn-
 derfuI thing Is the way they en-
 dure 10-days' sheIling in open
 trenches without Judging an
 inch.
 q have heard so many shells (the air is fairly full of them) and been through so many narrow escapes, that it would take a week to tell half of it. Though I have had no chance to distinguish myself and have won no decorations, have done my duty, which is all a man need hope to do We can- not all be lucky. There was one chance to go to the help of wounded man, and to carry him to shelter, which I did, but the poor fellow died in my arms before I could get him under cover. It was a most trying experi- ence.

STRIKE FOR LIBERTY.

You don't have to be in the trenches
to hammer the Germans.
Every blow struck in building ships
is a blow at Germany.
Every rivet clinched is a rivet in
the coffin of aristocracy.
Every ounce of energy put into
raising food is a blow at Germany.
Every bit of calculation in saving
food is blow at Germany.
If you are fighter in overalls, or a
fighter in kitchen apron, or a fighter
in khaki, you're helping to win for
democracy.
Every piece of work done to make
America stronger is blow at Ger
many.
This is a war of peoples. Every
American can be a fighter-and ought
to be.
Your job done well, if it is a con-
structive, productive job, will help to
win the war. Be proud Of your work,
be patriotic about your workout the
militant spirit Of America at war
into it!
You can hammer the Germans in
your daily task-if you put the right
spirit into it.
Denver labor bulletin., 1918-08-10

be seen in an American city, no such
surging crowds around bulletin boards.
There was an interest in the titanic
struggle, but it was a quiet interest
in which people sought the news
quietly and went their way quietly
after having got it.
Your mission is convinced of the
soundness of the public will and the
public understanding, both in Britain
and France, and this conviction is
based upon innumerable personal con-
versations, upon observation in great
public gatherings and upon the ex-
pressions of a wide variety Of people
in every station and region Of the
territory covered.
Thruout this period Of greatest
stress the people remained calm, their
only manifestations being those Of a
grim and unyielding determination.
Attitude of Workers.
Much of the material that will in
dicate the attitude Of the workers Of
France and Great Britain toward the
war will be found in other sections
of this report. 1t will doubtless be
gathered that it is impossible to take
the statements of leaders unques-
toned, when dealing with the attitude
of the mass Of working people.
| Your mission was given exceptional
opportunities to observe the attitude
Of both organized and unorganized la
Dor. All Of the chief Industrial CEN
ters of England and Scotland were
visited. In nearly all Of these meet
ings were held. Some Of these meet
ings were public, while others were
open only to trade unionists.
| Our careful and extended observa-
tion leads us to report that the work.
ing people in the mass have not been
infected with pacifist virus and that
in the course that must be run to
win the war. It seems fair to say that
organic contact with the productive
forces Of national life makes for a
clear and steady brain and a vision
unclouded by hallucination or sophis-
try. This is the thought brought out
by observation Of the working people
with whom we came in contact.
The cost Of living has risen amaz-
ingly in both France and Britain,
causing a most acute burden to rest
upon the working people. However,
while there is a general understand
ing Of the necessity for maintaining
proper standards and while much eff
fort is given to that activity, there
is thoro appreciation that American
labor is right in declaring that the
war must be won or all free effort
will be denied the opportunity to func-
tion.
It would be impossible to pass from
this subject without paying tribute to
the splendid spirit Of the women of
Great Britain and France who have
nobly borne the tremendous share of
wars burden which has been thrust
upon them by the draining Of man
power for the fighting lines. It is a
spirit Of which the citizenry Of these
nations will be proud for all time and
q spirit which harmonizes with the
whole fiber and purpose Of these two
brave countries.

The American decision is apparently

possible that the United states will
deem action in Siberia less advisable
