.YANKS GIVEPOWD
TO GERMAN PRIESTS

COBLEEZ, June 23.-German can
non doomed in Coblenz in connection
with the religious celebration OF
Corpus Christi day. permission hav-
ing been granted by the Americans to
fire a certain number OF shots. &C
cOrding to ancient custom, during the
bestowal of the sacramento benediC-
ton, as the procession passed through
the streets.
During the hours OF the procession
the movements of American supply
trucks, on their way to the cast
bank of the Rhine, in connection with
the troop concentration due to the
uncertainty Of the peace situation,
were diverted to other routes by the
military police.
Blank charges in mortars, relics OF
the eighteenth century, were fired
at the moment of the benediction
near affairs at different points, as the
procession moved through the streets,
shots echoing and re-echoing among
the hills along the Rhine, which
swarmed with khaki-clad soldiers
preparing to advance farther into
Germany, if the peace conditions
are finally rejected.
Not desiring to interfere in any
way with the religious celebration,
the Americans not only suspended
traffic in certain of the principal
streets Of Coblenz, but supplied pow
der for charging the mortars fired
by the priests. The Corpus Christi
procession was not held last year due
to fear Of daylight bombing raids by
allied aviators.

discovering a party of Americans be-
ing led away as prisoners, he rescued

KEYMEN SAY THEY
CAN STAY OUT YEAR

Striking telegraph operators today
said they were prepared to stick in
definitely, and will not listen. to any
offers Of compromise from the tele-
graph companies.
Wen stay out a year, II necessary,
but We are going to win the strike -
AID l.. y. Marshall, one Of the strik-
ers. The companies haven't any first
class operators, and they don't know
II. Some of the men they have work
ing at the Postal are third-raters, and
would forget the difference between a
dash and a dot If they were TO stay
away from the keys two days.
THE Postal is not handling any
business To speak of, most of the press
business being turned over to the
Western Union. The Western Union
can't handle it either, and the public
suffers
Some Of our men have been offered
jobs at much hetter pay in New York
and elsewhere, but we turned down
every one of them-that's how certain
we are of ultimate victory. Most OF
our men and girls are working, and
those not working are being taken
care of by our financial committee
Our finances are in good shape, so we
can hold out a year, IL necessary,
until we win the strike"
President Mcdonald, OF the local
branch of the Commercial Telegra-
piers Union, said the outlook for
victory was bright. and the union men
had nothing TO worry about.
The officials of the Postal Company
and the Western Union declared TODAY
they were taking care OF their bust
ness, and the strikers could stay OUT
forever, so far as they were concerned.
Charles II. Dexter, chief operator of
the Western Union, when asked
whether he wanted any of the men
back, said: Yes, some of them. I'd
like 10 get two of them back"

MAIL ON THE WING

Success Of the Chicago

auguration Of route between Omaha
and st. Louis this fall, the Postoffice
Department announced today.
The report also stated that expert
ments are now being made to deliver
and take aboard mail bags while the

Swooping down close to earth and
snatching the mail bags from special

serving both Philadelphia and Balti-
more and at the same time eliminating
