NEW YORK, June 13.-Von Hin

ness at the terrible death toll which is
being exacted by the French along
the Compeigne front.
There is a noticeable weakening Of
the German attack which can be ac-
counted for only by the grave danger
that is threatening Germany through
Won Hindenburg's mad slaughter of
his reserves. Compeigne is still for
sale at its adequate price in German
blood, but Won Hindenburg is paus-
ing earlier in the quest than he has
done during any of his three previous
offensives this spring.

CONGRESS TALKS OF QUITTING
May Adjourn Until New Session opsns
on December z.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The war re-
venue bill, the senate finance commit
teed agreed, cannot be reported before
the new session Of congress opens,
December 2.
Because of delay in the committee,
due to Secretary McAdoO's proposals
for downward revision to make the
total levy $4,000, 100000 for 1919 and
$4,000, 100000 for 1920, it was the con-
sensus of opinion the present session
of congress might we'll be adjourned
at once.
This report was given to the ma
jority leader, Senator Martin, in con-
nection With adjournment plans. With
the senate awaiting the revenue bill
and having little other business, and
with the house virtually suspended
under the tlEee-day recess program,
leaders proceeded with the plant to
effect an early adjournment until the
new session opens, two weeks hence.
Controversy over the proposal to
fix 1920 tax rates in the pending bill
was renewed, with Republicans again
voicing strong opposition. Decisions
on this and other revision questions
were deferred.

HOW BALTIMORE FIRM
FOUGHT INFLUENZA
Did Real Welfare WOrk-AIoney
Spent Ostensibly as Charity Brings
Big Results i'm Improved Morale.

The Washington Bureau of The
Sun states that methods used by The
Baltimore Dry Docks & Ship Build
ing Co., in building up and maintain
ing the morale Of its workmen during
the influenza epidemic, were highly
praised today by the United States
Employment Service, which issued
statement setting forth how the
Maryland concern fought the malady
and helped those of it's workmen who
fell i'll with it. The statement fol-
lows:
"A splendid example of What man
agement can do in building up NOR
ale among the Wage-earners as seen
in the policy of The Baltimore Dry
Docks & Shipbuilding Co., of Baiti-
more, Md, during the influenza epi-
demic. An ounce of such practical
humanitarianism is worth many
pounds of speed-up posters without
anything tangible in the way of help
fulneSs to back them up.
When the influenza epidemic hit
Baltimore its effect on the working
force of the Dry Docks Company EN-
ploying 1900 men, was serious.
Hundreds of workers fell sick, many
died; production-vital war produc-
tiOn-fell off Immediately.
As soon as the seriousness of the
disease made itself apparent the
management of the plant attached
five prominent Baltimore physicians
to- its staff for the sole purpose OF
attending the Company's employees
without charge. A special fund was
structions to distribute it among the
families of workers wherever illness
had brought the home to the poverty
line. Up to a few days ago nearly
$3.50 had been given out in this
way in allotments varying from SO
to $50.
Beyond this, when shortage Of cof-
fins set in, and the price of those
available naturally increased, the
cabinet workers at the plant were in
structed to turn out number Of
caskets, which were distributed free
to the families Of employees as need
arose
The reaction of the workers to- all
this was immediate. The diminished
force made every effort to keep pro-
duction up to normal level. Really
ing that in some cases employees not
in ill health were staying at home
because of the prevalence Of the epi-
demic. the workmen's committee at
the plant took it upon themselves to
check up all absentees and prevail
on those able to work not to lose an
hour of time in their duty of war
production"

His brother, Mr. Ernest L. Tregoe'
of Madison, visited the unfortunate
man last week, and has returned
home feeling greatly encouraged.
! Young Tregoe is getting along nice
ly at Camp Stewart, and will later be
sent to Camp May for inspection. If
the plaster cast can be removed from
his foot he will be transferred to
Fort McHenry for treatment.
During the battle of Chateau
j Thierry. after he had been fighting
fer four days and nights, MI.
Tregoe was wounded in the
right arm and the right foct.
The wounds We're received one sun
day afternoon, between two and
three o'clock. Vt that time the Ger
mans were raining fire upon the
Yanlls, and while few Of the boys in

Mr.. Tregoe's arm gave him no con

self in his foot he felt the effects
keenly He succeeded in crawling
off the field to a nearby dugout,
which was occupied by eighteen 9th
er men, who had also suffered at the
hands of the Germans Here these
wounded soldiers stayed until Mon
day afternoon, when they were To-
Gated by Red Cross workers. Some
of them We're seriously wounded,
while others were not so unfortu-
nate. One fellow, who was suffering
/ intense pain, turned to his pal and
said, "Good-bye. Bill, you'll survive

stretcher bearer.
On the transport, returning from
France, Mr.. Tregoe came under the
personal observation of Mr. Herbert
| Travers, of this city. Mr.. Tregoe
was entirely out of funds; Mr.. Trav-
ers had one five dollar note, and yet
with the charitable spirit ne has al
ways manifested, he offered all of it
to the wounded brother in arms, and
when Mr.. Tregoe refused, "Herbie''
made him take every cent of the mo-
ney. He also looked out for tobacco
for the brave soldier. and saw that
he got every comfort obtainable.
Now, in speaking of his present
favorable condition, Mr. Tregoe at
tributes it, first, to the Red Cross,
who ministered to his physical needs,
and next, to Mr.. Travers, who was so
considerate of him on his way back
