BULLETIN.

Washington, April 22.-GeneraI
Pershing's first report on the Ger
man assault upon the American
and French forces in the Toul
sector Saturday is understood to
indicate that the Americans sus-
tanned more than 200 casualties and
to estimate the German losses at
between three and four hundred.
II was learned tonight that the
report had been received, but war
department officials refused to
make it public or to comment
upon persistent reports about the
department concerning its contents.
The Germans claim to have cap
tured 1873 Americans and to have
killed and wounded many more,
and so far there has been no Off
cial American answer to the claim.
This situation will result in a re-
vival Of consideration at the war
department Of the proposal that a
daily statement be issued from the
headquarters Of the American ex-
peditionary forces.

UNION WORKERS
ANSWER BOSSES
Painters Council Makes Statement
Regarding Charges Outcome
OF Strike.

Painters district council No. II
has issued a statement in answer
TO charges made against union
painters by the master painters of
Rock Island as published Tuesday.
The trouble between the bosses
and the workmen has come about
through a wage dispute culminat-
ing Monday morning when the
men went out on strike. They de-
sire an increase in wage from 60
to IS cents an hour.
The statement follows:
The public is being misinform-
ed when it swallows the statement
made by the Master Painters as
sOciation of Rock Island. The
painters district council has tried
in vain to have a meeting with the
employers but has not as yet been
able to meet them When the
painters get an increase in wages
the public is informed of the in
crease through the press, but
when the man who has to have his
house painted or decorated goes to
our employer to have some work
done, the employer sets a price to
suit himself We have found out
that the employer has been getting
81 .25 and $1.35 and as high as S1.5S
per hour and is only paying the
man who does the real work the
insignificant sum of So cents per
hour. The public does not need to
ask who is making the money. Do
you ever see a journeyman painter

Mistakes Gasoline for Kerosene
Explosion Results
Legs and Feet Of Boy Badly Burned and
Home is Almost Totally
Destroyed.

Mistaking gasoline for ker-
osene almost cost the life of
Atty Berg, age Ia years, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Berg of west
Pine street on Tuesday evening.
AS it was the little fellow was
badly burned about the feet and
legs and the home was almost
totally destroyed.
According to the story as told
the little fellow had gone up
stairs at his home for the pur-
pose of kindling a fire and had
taken a can containing what he
thought was kerosene but which
proved to be gasoline. 1t is sup.
posed that he poured the oil on
the wood and as he lighted it an
explosion followed which spread
burning gasoline about the
house. When the can exploded
the boys clothing and shoes be-
came saturated with the gasoline
and caught fire, burning the
little fellow severely about the
feet and legs.
The boys burns were. serious
but unless complications set in
there is no serious danger that
he will not fully recover.
The Berg home was almost
totally destroyed by fire and it
was with difficulty that the little
boy was rescued from the home
before he was cut off by the
flames.
