GOMPERS REVISITS
 SCENES OF BOYHOOD
"I Know You" Cries Old Woman Who Scolded
 Him Years Ago.

London, Aug. 29.-Samuel Gompers, president of the American. Federation of Labor, today visited his boyhood home where he was born 68 years ago. It was an event of great impor- tance in the little section of East Lon don, known as Spittlegate. MT. Com pers had only visited England once be- fore since he left England as a boy to seek his fortune in America. His previous visit was nine years ago.
 MT. Gompers was accompanied to- day on the journey to Fort street by several members of the American la = bQr mission They went down in two American army automobiles and got out at the street corner. Mr. GOmpers stopped when he alighted and standing in the middle of the street recalled many scenes of his boyhood.
 The old street has not changed much" he said as he stood in front of the house which had been his home for many years. That old public house on the corner looks exactly as it did when I used to listen to the crowd of old cigarmakers discussing 2 politics there in the evening when 1 was a mere slip of a boy"
 While MT. Gompers was talking an old woman of over 80 years, wearing q long gray shawl, hobbled up, looked at the stranger a moment and then broke ill:
 "I know you, Sam Gompers," she said. "Many's the time l gave you d piece of my mind when you used to
 
 where MT. Gompers was born The old woman had not seen him since he left London as a youthful apprentice minutes talking over old times with her, asking about various boyhood playmates.
 The little group of labor men was surrounded by a great throng' of Spit tlegate people, many of them child ren, grandchildren and even great grand children of persons whom he remem- bered as neighbors of his father and m other.
 Spittlegate is deep in the interior of London's East End. whch is not so different from New York's East Side except that it is greater in extent and much older, Never before had American army automobiles been seen in remote Fort street..
 In the afternon MT. Gompers called at American army headquarters to see Major General Riddle and Surgeon General Winter. Afterward he paid 9 surprise visit on Major Endicott. the A.nerican Red Cross commissioner, at Red Cross headquarters. Arrange ments were made to visit American Bed Cross hospitals tomorrow to dis tribute cigars to TOO Americans, sick or wounded who recently have arrived in London from the western front

SEN. LEWIS SAYS RUMOR OF PACT
 BETWEEN BRITAIN AND AMERICA IS
 MERELY MISCHIEVOUS PROPAGANDA

There will be no burden to any people through secret pacts made by official agents as long as Woodrow Wilson IS president of the United States and a, democratic government is in force in Great Brtuin.''
 Speaking on peace, MT. Lewis said:
 II voice my opposition to my coun- try or the Allies assuming to write down the details ana items as to other countries upon which peace can be based. These particulars ought to be left to the peace table there to be the free subject Of negotiation. No na- ton i'll the Entente ought to be em- barrassed by premature or Individual effort to mortgage the commissioners to specific provisions before negOtia- ton.

Huns Flight to Hold SOissOns Plateau

Huns Flight to Hold SOissons Plateau.
 With the French Army in France, Aug. 29, (By the Associated Press)- The Germans are making a supreme effort to maintain their positions on the plateau north of Soissons They are throwing fresh troops against both the French and Americans and are disputing the ground foot by foot.
 After the unsuccessful enemy at tempts a few days ago to retake the heights west of the Soissons-Coucy- Le-Chateau road, known as the Ormc de MOntecouve, prisoners taken by one French division included men from three different divisions of in fantry and two battalions of crack mountain troops
 The loss of this height and a fur ther advance made it all the more necessary for the Germans to pre- vent the Allies from gaining ground on the plateau near Juvigny where are the last heights defending the val ley of the Ailette, where it runs east ward before turning southward again toward the Chemin des Danes. The enemy has reinforced his line there with some of his best division of shock troops
 The French Third army met with greater resistance today along the line of the Somme and the Canal Du Nord. The German opposition was particularly stout in the region of Nesles, where it was necessary to have artillery to reduce some positions
 Tonight the villages of ROuy-le- Grand and Roy-le-Petjt, east Of Nesles, are in the hands of the French while south along the canal they have Breuil. Moyencourt, and La Panne- terie.

GOLFERS WILL

Whitney, Dunno and Garvan
Join in Widows Peti-
ton For Estate
By Associated Press


New York, Dec. 17.-Payne Whit
ney, Finley Peter Dunno and Francis
T. Garvan, named by the late Rob-
ert j. Collier, editor and publisher
of Golfers Weekly, as executors
and residuary legatees of a large
part of his estate, including his in
terest in p. +. Collier and Sons, Inc,
declined in Surrogate's Court here
yesterday their appointments and
their rights as legatees. They sug-
gested that Mrs. Sarah Stewart Col
lier, widow of Mr.. Collier, who did
not share in the estate under the
will, be named in their stead.
Golfers Weekly had been under
the direction of a committee, in
Guiding Messrs. Whitney, Dunno and
Garvan since 1914, when Mr.. Col
lier was compelled to withdraw from
active management of his affairs be-
cause of illness.
The residuary legatees asserted
that IF conditions existed at that
time which made such q will ad-
visable, we think they no longer
exist, and declared they felt the
property Should "go to its natural
ultimate destination"
Mrs. Collier filed simultaneously
an application for the probate of the
will and for her appointment as exc
cutrix. No estimate of the estates
value was given.
Mr.. Collier explained in his will
that he made no bequest for his
wife because she had been amply
provided for" in the will of her faith
er, the late James A. Van Allen.
Mr.. Collier also had conveyed to
her large part of his property be-
fore his death.
