 How seriously G. H. o. regarded the matter developed very shortly. Faunthorpe telephoned our message through to G. H. Q. from Cassel, where we were quartered temper arily.
 Soon Brig. Gen. John Charteris, head of the intelligence department, arrived at our headquarters with the engine of his fast car hot. He rushed into our headquarters with la stern face. He demanded to know what we meant by striking We informed him that nothing was further from our minds than to strike; we merely were taking a holiday.

THE GREAT STRIKE
By DE WITT MACKENZIE

Copyright, 1929, Associated Press)
 Probably the cnly strike of war correspondents ever recorded in history was engineered by the Big Seven" who were attached to Brit ish general headquarters in France during the world war
 I should qualify that statement by saying that it was G. H. o. which described the affair as a
 strike" We of the Big Seven" very politely and persistently in listed that we wouldn't be so undig- aified as to strike; we merely were easing to write because we were tired out and needed rest.
 Our show was staged in Flanders, and it was in the spring of 1918, if remember rightly. As I have in- Heated, we were seven-five British md two Americans. Among us we served virtually the entire world with the all-important news of the lighting along the British and Bel gian fronts.
 i We were the favored few, strictly limited in number, to whom c. H Q. laid bare all secrets. I near that literally. We knew more in innate details of what was going on, and what was projected, than did anybody outside the command er-in-chief and his chosen council at G. H. o.
 Our task obviously was no light one. Upon us developed the re- sponsibility not only of recording with precision the momentous his tory which was unfolding with ka- . .leidoscopic rapidity, but of inter- preting it accurately to readers throughout the universe.
 It was a nerve wracking game under the best of conditions, and anything which added to our diffi- culties became a matter of vital inn iportance to us.
 It happened that there was in control of our department a certain lG. H. c. colonel whose activities we didn't approve. We felt he didn't understand his job as he should and we had no doubt that some oi his regulations were hampering oui work. Numerous complaints from our headquarters failed to better conditions, and so we decided tc take matters into our own hands i We requested the officer who was in immediate command of oul headquarters to present an ulti- matum to G. H. Q. The message was this: Our healths were very bad; we needed a rest from writ ing, and we were going to take it Not a nice job for our chief te undertake.
 Our immediate superior wa; Lieut. Col John Faunthorpe, anc in order to throw light on later developments I must explain that he was much beloved by all the correspondents.
 America will remember this mos affable gentleman with the mono. cle very well, for he was attached 1 to the uar mission tO the United States in 1918, and later was at tht British embassy in Washington
 Well, Faunthorpe showed hi
 monocle into his eye and there wa a funny little smile tugging at th'
 corners of his mouth. He had great sense of humor. However
 he treated the affair very seriously
 as indeed the occasion warranted l We were serious enough in our ul

Pres. Hoover Communicates
With Young; Action Caus-
es Excitement

PARIS, May 20.-tP)-News that
the American government had TAX
en- q hand in the reparations tangle
has changed the aspect Of things at
the experts headquarters.
It is generally felt it may alter
the whole course of the negotiations
and make possible a settlement Of
which nearly every one had begun
to despair.
The American delegation TO the
conference was stated to have re-
ceived through the usual channels
a communication from Washington
but no member was willing to make
any statement concerning 1t.
The news that Pres. Hoover had
communicated with Owen ID. Young
through the American embassy
caused the greatest furry in the
lobbies of the Hotel George v. since
the presentation OF the German re-
ply TO the allied memorandum that
almost broke UP the conference
three weeks ago.
Speculation started at once and
spread throughout the building as
TO just what Pres. Hoover had pro-
posed to the chief American dele
gate. The general assumption was
that the message authorized a re-
duction in the American share OF
annuities and the question that was
on every ones lips was: How
much?"
