GERMANS ARE IN
AFULL RETREAT
Yankees Take Many Guns and
Much Booty as Huns Retreat
in Disorder

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Sun
day, Nov. 3, Z z. M.:-More than
1000 prisoners were captured by the
Americans in this sector today. The
number of guns and other booty Is
steadily growing. The right flank OF
the American line is now at Hanes,
on the heights overlooking the Mouse
river.
1t has not been a day of lighting as
much as of pursuit. 1t is expected
that the general staff n field OIL
GERS have lost control to a certain
extent.
All parts of the line were active
last night. The left wing con-
tinued its advance with little inter-
ruption wen after darkness had rail-
en-. The Americans reached Boult-
aux-Bois at a o'clock this morning.
Their patrols were at the heels OF the
retreating enemy who were heard
leaving the northern end of the town
by wagon and who had made their
escape by the time the Americans
had made their way through tho
town in the gloom.
There was some opposition, espe-
cially artillery fire and rear guard
fighting, at Barricourt and Nouart.
but IL was quickly swept away. After
up Tality last nlsht lne
Americans took Hill 2SS and a little
later occupied Les F~ontenelles farm.
From the left flank to the right
there are evidences that the German
officers are trying to hold their men
to their tasks. but reports from diff
ferent sources agree that difficulties
have arisen which the Germans have
found impossible TO overcome.
American troops at 5 o'clock this
evening advanced their left flank
north of Authe, in close cooperation
with the French forces which have
been fighting their eastward way on
the bend on the Aisne river. Further
east American forces were In Autru-
che and their patrols we're reported
as far north as Brieulles-sur-Bar.
In the centre OF the line the village
of Fosse was passed early in the day
and then with quick successes Barri-
court. Mozart lie Chanty. Haute and
LIE Chanty Bias were occupied by the
Americans. The advance of General
Pershing's troops has reached the
little lake in the centre of Belveal
wood.
On the extreme right the Ameri-
cans were north of Montigny-de-Sas-
.sy. From there the line ran to the
Meuse river.

Explosion in Chicago Fed
eral Building Is Laid to
|. w. w. Sympathizers
FOURTEEN SUSPECTS
WERE ROUNDED UP
Four Persons Were Killed
and More Than 80
Were Injured

Chicago, Sept. 5-Fourteen men were
rounded up as suspects in an all-night
search following the explosion of bomb
yesterday in the federal building which
killed four persons, injured more than
thirty Others and did considerable prop
erty damage.
I'VE believe we are now close to the
person responsible for the outrage" Act
ing Divisional Chief Philip j. Barry of
the department of Justice said to-day.
I'VE have descriptions from various wit
nesses who saw the man believed to have
exploded the bomb, and these descrip-
tions tally"
Secret service officers and the police
worked on the theory that the explosion
was the act Of members of svmpathizers
OF the /. W. w. in revenge for the re-
cent conviction OF ninety three of their
members before Judge Lands.
The fact that the bomb was placed
near large radiator and close to the
wall of the building at the Adams street
entrance is believed to have caused its
force to be expended backward and
downward, probably saving the lives of
many who were in the interior of the
postoffice. The four persons killed were
near the Adams street entrance. Just
outside, which were found the bodies
of three of the victims--a girl entering
the building, Great Lakes jackie, also
about to enter, and mail carrier on his
way to work The fourth victim, mail
carrier, was leaving the building, having
just finished work.

EXPECT MACHINISTS
TO RESUME YORK
Following Statement by Umpire in the
Disagreement in Munitions Plants
in Bridgeport.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 5.--An inter-
pretive statement by Otto M. Eidlitz,
supplementing his award as umpire in
the Bridgeport, Conn, munition workers
wage controversy, announced to-day by
the war labor board is expected TO result
in the return to work of 5000 machinists
now striking because of dissatisfaction
over the award.
The statement says workers are not
barred from classification into groups. as
the machinists believed, and that such
classification may be obtained by collec.
tive bargaining with local boards.
Mr.. Eidlitz made his statement at the
request of Secretary Baker He makes II
clear that the workers are expected to
stay at their posts under present condi-
tions only until their differences can be
permanently adjusted.
ut would be fully within the province
of local boards to create other subsidiary
boards, and it was not the intent TO bar
the establishment of classification of
trade and minimum wage. In other
words, it was recognized that serious
controversy existed at Bridgeport and
that it was not fair to adjust arbitrarily
without proper discussion and reasonable
time for conference; since the six
months period for this board, with the
help of the employees and employers, to
devise ways and means to adjust the
controversy.
1T is to be noted also that the award
gives the right to either party to appeal
to the national war labor board at anv
time"

CHECKLIST SHOWS
LARGE REDUCTION
Largely Because the Names of the wom-
en- Were Stricken 0ff-Total for
Use at Primary Is 2,t2s.

Fewer by rising 450 are the voters
who may exercise the suffrage in the pri-
maries next Tuesday. Figures compiled
by City Clerk James Mackay as the re-
suit of final changes made by the board
Of civil authority at its meeting last
evening show that 2,l25 voters are en-
titled to a ballot in the primaries. az
against the 2,5SS whose names appeared
on the checklist used in the spring cleo
tions. The shrinkage is due in large
part to the detection of women voters,
who were privileged to vote in the city
election, although the prerogative is de-
MED them in the primaries. Their alb
sence from the polls Tuesday will con-
tribute very largely to the deletion of
465 persons eligible to vote in March, al
though removals have made unusually
heavy inroads on the new checklist.
The final meeting for the revision of
the checklist was held in the court room
at city hall, f. G. Rowland presiding
Eight members were present and in the
course of a brief session 90 changes were
ordered, most of them being deletions.
Before adjournment two vacancies in the
list Of election officers were filled. Earle
r, Davis, who is candidate for states
attorney, will not serve as ballot clerk,
and in his stead the name of J. E. Rob
erts was added. In the fifth ward Thom-
as Carroll is to serve instead of j. B.
Sanguinetti, who was appointed an as
sistant ballot clerk
Gauging their predictions by the pres
ent apathy in state and local politics, To-
cal observers are prophesying that less
than 80 per cent of the registered voters
win participate in the primaries. 1t is
even believed in some quarters that the
actual vote will not exceed 30 per cent of
the registration, Polling places are to be
established in the customary voting quar-
ters in the six wards.
Comparative tables, showing the num-
ber Of voters who may take part in the
primaries, the registration Of last spring,
and the detection in each ward, are given
below.
