London, June 6.-The behavior Of the
American troops at Chateau Thierry
has demonstrated more than anything
that has yet happened on the allied
front the splendid spirit and enterprise
with which the Americans are endowed,
says the Daily Mail correspondent with
the American army in France.
He quotes an unnamed French gen.
eral as saying the American spirit and
enterprise at a critical moment served
to save the morale Of French troops
around Chateau Thierry.
The correspondent points to the
steadiness of the American machine

LABOR BOARD TAKES

Assumes Jurisdiction in Beth

Washington, May 13.-Frank P.
Walsh, joint chairman with ex-Presi-

board, announced that the board has
assumed jurisdiction of the strike
among steel workers employed by the
Bethlehem Steel company, in South
Bethlehem.
Hearings will begin tomorrow,
among those summoned being Eugene
Grace, president of the corporation.
Serious DISCRIMINATION of the war
program is threatened by the 8ethle-
hem strike from the fact that most of
the field pieces and heavy ordnance
for the army, as well as large orders
of munitions, are being turned out
there Representatives of the em-
ployes claim that 5000 out of the 81
600 workers are involved. Officers
of the company deny that more than
1000 men are out.
UnfavOrable working conditions and
refusal of the company to accept col
lective bargaining are given as the
causes of the strike. The first walk
out occurred on April 3, others quit
on May 1 and another gang last week.
The strike is unauthorized by the Fed
Grafton of Labor, and direct appeals
to the men to return to work by Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson have been
without effect.
A partial settlement was obtained
by conciliators of the department OF
labor last month, but with the renew
al of discomfort the department has
asked the war labor board to fully iL-
vestigate the controversy in order to
obtain a permanent adjustment.

Hindenburq Still Hesitates.

With The British Army in France,
May 13.-Another day has run half
it's course without any infantly,S ction
of great Importance having oCIrred
along the far-eastern battlefront.
Certain posts at various points, de-
sirably located, continued to be the
objects of pickering between the op-
posing forces, and the artillery was
busy in it's work of destruction.
But Won Hindenburg, to whom the
next move has thus far been concern
ed, was still holding his hand.
French poilus stormed and occupied
a pile of brick, which once was the
hamlet of Boulooze, just south Of
Scherpenberg Hill, and they also
smashed the Germans out of Boulooze
cabaret, nearby. But an enemy coun-
ter attack during the night seems to
have forced the French to retire to
their previous line. BouloOZe is on
comparatively high ground, which has
been holly contested in recent days.
1t seems passing strange that the
enemy has not made any big drive
before this, and it will be stranger
still if many days pass without re-
newal of the offensive. There is no
doubt that the Germans are anxious to
begin operations as soon as possible,
and the delay-if such it may be term
ed-indicates the probability Of an ex-
tensive push being in preparation.
Completion of the enemy plans I'M
doubtedly has been hampered greatly
by the excellent counter work of the
allies, particularly in the aviation and
artillery branches, but even this could
hardly hold back an attack indefinite

italian Army Headquarters, May Is.
After long period of inactivity,
owing to weather conditions, Italian
troops on the mountain front executed
a brilliant operation, capturing the
dominating position of Monte C0rnO,
destroying an elaborate system of en-
envy defenses and taking 100 prison
erS, two nuns, a number of machine
guns and much war material.
The action was in the Arsa valley,
which leads down from the Lagarina
valley, and is the main line of ap-
proach from Trent and Rovereto. 1t
was here that the Austrians attempt
ed to reach the Venetian plain in the
first great offensive. Recently they
have erected powerful defenses, with
battery positions built in rock and
electrically charged, and with a sys-
tenn of barbed wire entanglements.
There was considerable snow re-
naming on Monte Como, which is
5000 feet high. This increased the
difficulties of movement of the COM
paratively small Italian force which
carried out the attack. 1t was pre-
coded by a short artillery action.
The infantry advanced over rocky
and precipitous heights. The enemy
was taken by surprise and could make
little effective resistance. The move
ment was carried out by daylight. All,
the enemy's defensive works were oc-
cupied An italian position was es-
tablished on the crest Of the noun
hahn and the surrounding slopes.

Inc Gay was
clear and cool, though it was spring.
A big sun was trying his best to keep
things warm, for old Mr. North Wind
was laughing so hard at some jokes
his children, the breezes, were crack
ing.
And when Mr.. North Wind laughs
oh, how cold it is! His chuckles and
smiles are chilly, but his laugh is very
cold indeed.
He was happy, too, at being around
at this time of the year. He had been
giving the South Wind entirely too
much of good time. He hadn't been
fair to himself
Now he would be, he vowed, as he
blew cold air all about him. He
hasn't great deal of use for his cou-
sin, the South Wind, nor for the South
Winds family, for they are entirely too
gentle and mild to suit him.
So Mr.. Sun was having hard work
on this day to keep it warm for the
earth people and the children, and
especially so for the little girl who
went in search of the spring flowers.
'They have been thinking lately that

called Mr. Wind. He liked that bet

there was only one wind-at least only
one wind of any real Importance.

"That's SOL said Mr.. Sun. Sum-

a little talk about your winter friends.
I can't agree with you when you talk
