Efforts Of manufacturers in the
sweater industry in this city to solve
the problem in respect to the shortage OF
labor in the trade have resulted in a de-
cision by many to establish auxiliary
plants in cities and towns contiguous
to New York
The scheme being pursued by these
manufacturers is 10 establish small fac
tories in three or four different localities
and through the combined efforts Of the
workers secure a fair standard of pro-
duction. Manufacturers point out that
while an acute labor shortage exists
here, the same condition Is not generally
true In the smaller surrounding towns.

FRENCH APPEAL

 Before the asphyXiating gas both British and French had been obliged to give ground. The then General Foch intended to recover the former positions at all costs, according to Colonel Feyler He asked General Sir John French to cooperate with him. Impossible" replied French, my men are ready to hold here but do not feel that l can demand of them in their present condition furth- cr sacrifices in attacking"
 Foch expressed surprise: Their morale is low" he said, why don't you launch a proclamation? Some thing like this British soldiers for ward. You who have yanquished the great Napoleon, shall it come to pass that you will permit the lowly Ger man to drive you from your positions and retain them ,"
 How is that?" asked French great ly interested. Please repeat it." And at the dictation of Foch, French wrote out the proclamation which was given out to the troops the next day.
 The next morning the British sol diers hit the line and recovered all the lost ground.
