OUIGLEY AMUSED BY
TESTERS PLATFORM
Believes Board Of Direc.
tors Plank Is Confess
sion of Inefficiency.

Mayor George A. Quigley is not
visibly impressed by Alderman NJ.
Irving testers political intentions as
set forth in a statement issued yes
tcrday. While he was loath to make
any comment upon the second ward
did refer to that part of the alder
mans statement in which he protest.
ed that he would not try to be a
"one man" mayor but would call
upon an executive committee to help
him out in governing the city should
he be elected.
This is what Mayor Quigley has to
say about that: 'According to my
Interpretation of the city charter the
man to occupy the mayors chair is
TO be the mayor. It is my under
standing that the underlying idea
of the system of government here is
to put a man in the mayors chair
who can handle the situation, rather
than a man who confesses his inabil-
ity to do SO and needs a board Of di-
rectors to help him out. Personally,
I regard the various other city COM
missioners as in reality the civic
board of directors.''
Once warming up to the subject the
mayor also called attention to Alder
man TESTERS reference to finance and
said that during his four years as
| mayor the city's assets have been in
creased approximately $500, 600, which
! he considers rather a good showing.
The mayor likewise mentioned the
second warder's comment on the civil
! service commission. ''It should be
reembered,' he said, that it was
who first instituted civil service into
the city government; first by a COM
n1ittee and then by charter amend
Elent, to take the fire and police de-
partment appoin tments out of petty
! politics."
| Mayor Quigley says that his cam
| paign is progressing in a perfectly
| satiSfa ctOry manner and the assur-
ance he has from men who are really
| Zig men in the community make him
| feel certain of victory. He says he
! is not seriously alarmed by the re-
ports from the enemy camp that they
have a certain faction of voters in
their vest pocket. 'The day of any
Cpe man or group of, men delivering
any solid vote is past, for today the
| voters cast their ballot for the man
they want,'' the mayor said.

Acts Following Flood of
Protests But Is Not Ex-
pected to Veto War De-
partment Regulation.

Washington, March 12-President
Wilson today personally considered
the war departm new plan of is
suing the names of American soldiers
killed, wounded, or who die in
France without their home addresses
or other marks of Identification.
There was no outward indication
that he would reverse the war de-.
partment's ruling which, it has been
explained, was made for military rea-
sons but it was evident protests from
every quarter had grown to such
numbers that the president had de-
cided to acquaint himself of all the
facts.
It is possible that a suggested plan
of issuing the casualty lists twice q
month or once a week may make it
possible to give home addresses OF
trops because the information might
be so old as to be valueless to the
enemy.

Hand-to-IIandF Fight in Trenches.

With the American Army in France
March II, (By the Associated Press)
An American raiding party entered
the German trenches along the Tout
sector at o'clock this morning after
an artillery bOmbardment Of ) min
utes and brought back much material
and information but no prisoners. It
was the first raid undertaken by tho
Americans without aid Of the French.
The raid was highly successful as
the enemy withdrew many men from
the front line when the lombard"
1nent indicated a raid might follow.
The raiders reported that American
gunfire had created destruction in the
German positions and torn gaps in
the enemy barbed wire entangle-
mentS. The German batteries came
into action. but accomplished moth
ing toward disturbing the progress Of
the raid.
The Americans entered the enemy
trenches behind one side of a "box'
barrage which moved forward in
front of theln. They found numerous
Germans hiding in the dugouts. II
the hand-to-hand fighting which fol-
lowed a number Of the enemy were
! killed and wounded and left in the
trenches.
Going far beyond their objective,
the raiders penetrated the German
line 800 yards. A few fights devel-
oped on the way but the Germans
were driven off. The Americans
failed to find most of the Germans
who had been with drawn hurriedIy
from the front line.
In the hand-to-h hand fighting the
Americans used their automatic pis-
tolls and rifles During the raid the
American machine guns placed a bar
rage in the enemy back areas in r.
der to prevent a counter attack
The Americans fought so effectively
that the medical men who accom-
panied them had little to do. Every
American who left the front line re-
turned
On their way back the Americans
encountered a German listening post
which fired at them. The Germans
soon were SiIenCed.
The Americans reached their ow7,
| lines after being inside the enemy
lines Is minutes.
