went farther north than any other
outfit in the 10Th Division.
The 312th next took a three-day hike
to the Troyon sector, where they reliev-
posite them at this point, and were not
making much Of fight. Each night
while in this vicinity, an Austrian patrol
would come across and throw up their
hands. After nine days the battalion
moved to Hill 37S, where the fighting
already described took place.
Members of the 312th Battalion were
unable to explain how the battalion be-
came ''mislaid" by the War Department.
They thought, however, that it might
have been due to the fact that they got
ready to sail from st. Nazaire in much
quicker time than the average outfit.
They were notified about noon and
left that evening. Even when they
reached Hoboken, the embarkation Of
fcials there had no record of their
coming. The list Of passengers car
ried by the ship was the first noti-
fcation that the men were on board.
None Of the men were sorry over be-
ing moved SO quickly from ST. Ma
zaire. Some of them said they heard
that their relatives had gone to New
port News last Sunday in response to
the false alarm that the battalion was
to land there that day.
The battalion is going through the
delousing process this afternoon and
probably will leave for Camp Meade
tonight or tomorrow morning.

might extend to the question of how far the Allied and associated govern- ments could help Germany in the
 matter and whether, in return ;t r
 the repayment of the cost they could provide the prisoners with new out fits, underclothing, civilian suits and boots before their return.
 In his note dealing with labor questions, Count von Brockticrf riff Rantzau says that the German gov
 ernment agrees with the Allied and associated governments that the greatest attention must be paid 10 these problems.
 Labor Matters Discussed.
 'Internal peace and human progress depend on how these questions are handled" the note says "The de-
 mands for social justice repeatedly
 drawn up in this connection by work
 CTS of all lands only partly find en- dorsement in principle in this section
 of the Allied governments draft of the peace terms. These high demands
 have for the most part, already been
 carried out in an admittedly eXemp-
 lary fashion in the German empire'
 Referring to the draft of an agree-
 ment on international labor con-
 piled by the German government and
 proposed by the German league of
 nations, the note says:
 All States Should Join,
 Tn order in the interest of all of humanity. to put these prin ciples everywhere into practice the accept
 ance of the German delegations pro- pOSal is certainly requisite. We con- sider it necessary that all states l. should join in this agreement, even if they do not belong to the league of nations.
 Tn order to insure the workers, for whom these proposed Improvements are destined, cooperation in shaping these principles the German delega- .tiOn considers it necessary to convoke @ representative of the national orgau- izatiOns of the abor unions of al. the contracting parties to a conference at Versailles, even during peace negCtia- tions to deliberate and make decisions on international la bor law. It con- siders it would be advantageous that the proceedings of this conference he based on decisions reached at tho in-
 ternational trades union conference held at Berne from February , to g., 1919. We append a copy of these de-
 cisions which have been accepted by the representatives of trades union or
 ganizations in Bohemia, BuIsarla, Denmark. Germany, Great Britain, France, Greece, Holland, Italy, Can ada, Norway, Austria. Sweden, SWitz-
 erland, Spain and Hungary. We have been charged to do this by the unions of Germany"
