Crowen Calls American
Victory Memorable One.

Commenting on the first victory Of
the First American army in France.
Acting Secretary Of War Benedict T.
Crowell said:
In common with the whole Ameri-
can people am proud of, and glory
in. the manner In which American
troops have carried their nag to q
signal victory on the Western front.
THE American forces heretofors,
in several brilliant actions, have given
evidence of what was In them and
what might be expected Of the SOL
diers of a courageous and resource
full people. The fact. however. that
in the reported effacement of the st.
Mihiel salient, the American army ap-
peared for the first time as the pre-
ponderant force. makes this event one
Of unusual and memorable signifi-
canoe.
THE value and effect of this defeat
OF the Germans in this stronghold
and particular area OF the front are
not matters that / can comment on
at this time, although the unofficial
expert appreciation here and abroad
of the victory seems to indicate that
the action was one that will con
tribute materially to the final defeat
of the enemy.
The American army. I am sure,
will continue to make history In Eu-
rope that will reflect the glory and
luster of our arms, and that army
will continue to bear our country's
standard nobly and valorously for and
in the great cause so clearly express
ed by President Wilson"
The Washington herald., 1918-09-14

The German official report as re-
ceived here follows:
French and Americans attacked
the st. Mihiel salient near the Com
bres Height as well as between the
Cotes de Lorraine and the MoselIe.
In anticipation Of the attack the
evacuation OF the salient was COM
menced by US a few days ago.
I'VE did not. therefore, fight the
battle to a finish, but carried out our
contemplated movements which the
enemy was unable to prevent.
Claim French RepuIse.
The French, who advanced on the
heights east Of the Meuse, were re-
pulsed. Combres Height, at first lost.
was temporarily ,recaptured.
"Austro-Hungarian troops to the
south assured the retreat of our divi-
sions standing at st. Mihiel.
The enemy gained ground at Thiau-
court.
THE evacuation Of the salient was
completed at night time without en-
envy interference.
We now stand on prepared lines. q"

DRAFT EFFECT
is DISCUSSED
Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association Holds
a Meeting.

The effect of the draft on the
various industries Of the city was
discussed at a meeting of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers' Associa-
tion yesterday.
II was pointed out at the meet
ing that there was no declaration
in the selectiye service draft list
OF regulations as to the essentially
of any business. Five classe of oc-
cupation, however. are listed as be-
ing insufficient to Justify the post
ponement of call into the military
service Of any registrant. Among
these is sales clerks, and other
clerks employed in stores and other
mercantile establishments" This
class. it was emphasized ct the
meeting. does not include store eI-
ecutives. managers, superintend-
ents, or the heads OF departments.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has invited the business interests OF
the country to set up claims for the
exemption OF necessary employees. II
was advised that employees get to-
gether with the District Board in
order that the business interests OF
the city may not be crippled. 1t was
pointed out that there are many posi-
tions in mercantile establishments
that can be filled by women and that
every effort must be made TO retain
the services Of competent men for this
work
Some action by the committee
which is in charge OF looking into
the change OF store hours, with a
view to aiding in the street-car SIT
uation, is expected within the next
ten days and IT is probable that a
special meeting of the association
will then be held to consider the re-
port.
The aid OF the employment service
Of the government was pledged the
merchants by Mrs. Grace Porter
Hopkins. superintendent of the Wo-
mems Division. She stated that the
Labor Department had already or
Eanized a division looking TO the
bringing TO Washington OF store en-
ployes.

Of third of 100000 of trained, ex-

for the present be described as
ballast"
Another Hun Opinion.
In the Berliner Tageblatt, Won
Ardenne wrote on July s, "A moments
reflection shows that an American
army Of millions cannot be ready for
service for two or three years. An
American army must be armed and
equipped. Its officers have no mill
tary experience. Want of transport
is the chief hindrance to a speedy
intervention of Americans. An army
Of 100000 men needs 1000 900 tons Of
transport. four tons per head. Did
this exist, submarines would soon cut
it down. 1t is. therefore clear that
even later the Americans will not
play a decisive part They will not
be substitute for the Russians"
This appears to have been another
OF the wrong reckonings" committed
by the Germans to which Won Peyer
recently referred.

Ninety per cent of them were pa
triotic and went back to work under
the umpire's finding. They represent
union labor. The strikers have no
place in our organized ranks. The
President is absolutely right. Their
deferred classifcations should be
taken from them, and they should be
refused further employment by the
government and on contracts for war
supplies. You can't make this too
strong"
Labor officials point out difference
in the situation in the Bridgeport case
and ordinary strikes. They reserve
the right to strike in protest against
impossible conditions of employment
or improper wages. and, say that the
Presidents letter does not affect this
situation even in war plants. But in
this case the difference had gone to
the highest court of labor mediation
and been adjudicated. Then came the
strike against the decision.
Such a strike. unauthorized by the
union president or organization, is an
outlaw strike. and they feel warrants
the Presidents extreme action.
Were a blacklist against employees
or withdrawal of deferred classihca-
ton threatened under other Circum-
stances, they would protest.
