To Prevent Draft of Workers,

Negotiations are in progress between
the State Department officials and
Provost Marshal General Crowder and
I representatives here of the French gov
eminent to prevent agents of the
American Red Cross, Y. NJ. C. A, the
| knights of Columbus and similar or
ganiZations working with the American
Army in France from being taken into
military service there. Under strict con-
struction of the draft treaties men of
| military age so employed might be
drafted into the French army. unless
they accepted immediate service with
! the American Army.
Gen. Crowder's Office proposes that
| men engaged in such work in France
be given 4 recognized status as at
! tached to the American expeditionary
| forces.

Foe Moving Northward.

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Monday. October Z (Reu-
s).-Circumstantial reports that
the enemy is moving troops and wag-
onS northWard from SoInlnerance and
RomaEne continue to come in, but he
is still leaving enough men to hold
his positions here. German machine
guns are said to be only fifteen feet
apart. though this sounds like need
less eXaggeration, and there seems to
be a considerable artillery reserve
back of the German lines at some po-
sition not as yet disclosed.
On the other hand, Brieulles, which
was well fortified and held by many
machine gun companies. is now being
burned to the ground. Grandpre, DUN
and Ancreville are also burning. These
fires were probably kindled by the
Germans and contradict any other evil
dence there may be that permanent
occupation of them had been intended
by the Germans.

Say Churches Well Ventilated.

This opinion is emphasized by the
fact. which in the opinion of COM
petent medical men cannot be ques-
toned, that the danger from the open
ing of the churches, if it exists at all
is infinitesimal in comparison with
that which results from keeping open
the government departments. The
latter are crowded; the hours are
long; the air space is often small: the
atmosphere often becomes vitiated.
Whereas the churches are generally
commodious and comparatively well
ventilated; there is no crowding and
the hours are short.
I'VE hold further that in these times
of trial and affection it is a serious
thing to deprive the people of the
comfort and consolation they derive
from the services of the church. 1t
distinctly impairs the morale of the
community, the preservation of which
at high level is so vitality important
for the winning of the war.
During the yellow fever epidemic
in the southwest many years ago the
churches continued their services with
entire regularity, to the great comfort
of the stricken cities.

Must Seek Rooms in Homes.

AS the government dormitories are
not yet completed, practically all gov
eminent employees arriving in WASH
ington now must seek accommoda-
tions in the homes Of the city which
have listed rooms with the unltea
States home registration service.
Realizing that hundreds of woman
war workers thus housed might con-
tract influenza. the authorities last
week took over 6O2 and 612 T street
northwest to be fitted up as tempo
rary hospitals for government en-
ployes whose homes are not in Wash
inSton.
The canvass now being completed
by soldiers is expected to bring into
use every available room in the city
When all these rooms have been oc-
cupied Washington will be, in the
language of housing officials, .satur-
ated' with war population. Whether
there still are enough vacant rooms
in the city to accommodate all who
will arrive before the dormitories are
completed December l is a question
facing the home registration service.

NO BAR TO INFLUX
OF WAR WORKERS
Influenza Preventive Meas
ure Tantamount to Quaran-
tin of City Abandond.

No action to stop the influx of war
workers to Washington during the
influenza epidemic is likely to be
taken by the District authorities.
Health Officer Fowler took the po-
Sition today that a recommendation to
keep new employees at home until the
disease subsidies would amount to a
quarantine of the city. He said he
was not prepared to advise such a
step.
The line of young women seeking
accommodations from the United
States homes registration service,
1414 II street, indicated today that
there has not been much Of a decrease
in the number of workers arriving
IN Washington since the epidemic
began.
In number of cities, however. the
local health authorities have stopped
civil service examinations because OF
the epidemic. This may affect the
number of employees coming to Wash
ington. since women are being recruit
ed from all parts of the country 70
fill positions in the departments here.
Philadelphia and York, Pa, are among
the cities which have halted civil
service examinations.

REOPEN THE CHURCHES,
APPEAL OF PASTORS
Federation Says Spiritual Dynamos
Must Be Kept Going at
Full Power.

The District Commissioners were
day afternoon by the Pastors Fedora
ton, at meeting at New York Ave-
nue. Presbyterian Church. to withdraw
the request for closing the churches.
The resolutions were presented by
Rev. DR.. Randolph Mckim, rector of
the Church of the Epiphany. n COM
mittee, consisting of DIR. N1cKim, Rev.
DR.. Wallace Radcliffe and Rev. DIR.
Bowers, was appointed to present a
copy of the resolutions to the Com
missioners.

Contrary to Public Policy.

1t was the sense of the resolutions
that in the opinion of the pastors. it
is contrary to public policy to close
the churches because of the epidemic.
Continuing, the resolutions set forth:
We hold it to be OF vital inn
pcrtance that our moral and spiritual
dynamos should be kept running at
full power. But closing our churches
means serious loss of moral and
spiritual power.
mo one will deny that to close the
government departments would be
out OF the question. except in the last
resort, notwith standing the fact that
they are veritabie hotbeds of in
f1uenza. But it is just as contrary to
public policy to close the churches,
and thereby weaken the spiritual
power of the country. Spiritual
force is even more necessary for VIC
tory than shot and shell and ships
and cannon and aeropIanes.

Hold-Up Probably Temporary.

1t seems probable, therefore, that the
Americans are being held up here only
long enough to enable the enemy's
troops to retire from the big Rheims
pocket. 1t need not cause surprise
that the Germans are able to hold up
the Americans, for this is the first eX-
perIence the men from across the At
lantic have had with artillery or
ganized resistance. The opposition in
the Marine salient was almost en-
tirely from machine guns, while at st.
Mthiel the enemy never meant to
stand. The first days lighting be-
tween the Mouse and the Argonne
forest fell in the same category, but
now. when the enemy has a line and
means to hold it, the Americans are
confronted with the task, the solution
of which cost the French and British
four years of hard fighting.
Secret of Success.
Given the necessary material the
secret of success lies in the perfect CO.
ordination of the working and think
ing parts of the military machine.
This is extremely difficult to achieve.
Owing to the fact that they had been
in training for fifty years, it was al
most instructive to the Germans.
The American Army has accomplish
ed wonders of organization in a short
time and little practice will give it
that Suppleness in the field which it
needs. In the meantime, it is cheer
ing to read in captured documents of
the German staff that I'VE cannot con-
slider the construction of new systems
of positions with trenches and other
works. as this is impossible owing to
the state of the labor supply
An easier time therefore is antici-
pated when the Kriemhild line is car
ried,

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
NORTHWEST OR vERDUN, October z.
Gen. Pershing's troops this morning
attacked the German positions on the
left wing of this front. The Americans
made progress to point correspond
ing with their advance late yesterday
in the region of Cunel woods, on the
right wing.
The presence of storm troops oppo-

lines leads to the belief that the en-
envy is planning counter attacks.
Gain Chatel Chehery.
The Americans achieved important,
though local. success today by forcing
the Germans out of Chatel Chehery,
northwest of Apremont. Pushing for
ward. they overcane the stubborn re-
ssistance Of the enemy and settled
themselves on the commanding
heights west Of the River Aire.
The attack which eliminated in the
capture of Chatel Chehery began this
morning by the LETT and left center

the assault. The infantry went for
ward at o'clock, the troops on the
east crossing the Aire.
Mist Affords Protection.
A heavy mist afforded the men good
protection while it lasted. Beyond the
river the men were infiltered through
the valley between Hill $50 and Hill
10. Thence they worked into the
wood beyond and attacked and carried
Hin $50 after hard fighting. The Ger
mans began the withdrawal of their
artillery when they saw the attack
was likely to prove successful.
The troops in the center of the at
tack met the first obstacle ten minutes
after starting in the shape of German
trenches. The Americans deluged these
