lN WATERBURY “Few Men Leave—Mayor Cray as Bristol Mediator 3 ‘Waterbury, Sept. 13.—The threatened strikes of the machinists and tool makers took place this morn- Jng, workmen employed at the fac- tories of the Waterbury Farrel Foun- dry and Machine company, and the E. J. Manville Machine company, strik- ing for an eight hour day and time and a half for overtime, and double time for Sunday and holidays. Neither plant is closed. The Farrel Foundry employs 545 men and of these only 180 obeyed the order to MWrike. Just 188 of the 225 ma- chinists and apprentices employed by the E. J. Manville Machine company walked out of the factory at 9 o'clock. Like those of the Farrel Foundry, they demanded an eight hour day, which the company refused. The 400 employes of the tubing de- partment of the Benedict and Born- ham Branch of the American Brass cempany, who struck last week, have not returned to work as yet. The factory of the Randolph-Cowles com- Dany, which has been closed since last Tuesday morning, reopenéd this morning with the strikers back at work, having been granted shorter hours and more pay. About 250 were out of work because of this strike. About 80 of the 90 strikers at the plant of the A. H. Wells & com- ‘pany, tubing manufacturers, returned 4o work today, as did 150 employes of He Waterbury Rolling Mills, the men receiving in each case, a ten per cent. increase, fifty-five hours a' week in- P stead of sixty, and time and a half for overtime work. two Mayor Cray Mediator. {Bristol, Sept. 13.—The new de- “velopment in the strike at the Bristol ass company’s rolling mill today, s that Councilman G. W. Hull saw the strikers and obtained from them p statement that they wanted a nine hour day and a ten per cent. increase in wages. These men, numbering 150 walked out on Thursday with- out giving any reason. Now that the feason is known it is thought an ad- justment can be made. “At the Sessions Foundry, where n in the assembling and assorting rgoms went out sixty bench moulders jqined the strike after the company hid refused their demands, the nature of which is not divulged. Mr. Sessions, however, believes the trouble will be adjusted. JThe strikers at the shop of the Na- “‘tienal Marine Lamp company ln restville, have asked Mayor Cray o stol,"to secure for them a conter- e with the officers. This will be 1d today. jDuring the morning thirty ash men an!o}ed in the round house of the Vew York, New Haven and Hartford ‘railroad at the Cedar Hill freight vards, left their work after demand- } ing an increase. in wages.

The ash men clear the engine pits. Their strike did not in- terfere with the handling of locomo- tives. Men Return in Bridgeport. Bridgeport, Sept. 13.—The return to work of abouv 800 men in the west end shops of the Crane Valve com- rany today was looked upon as a set- tlement of the strike there. -As a whole the strike situation at a @ozen plants here was not changed materially from that of last week.

Ofiicials Proceeding on That As- sumption-Nothing on Yon Papen ‘Washington, Sept. 13.—Acting un- der instructions from the White House agents of the department of justice will meet James F. J. Archibald, the American correspondent involved in the case of Dr. Dumba, the Austrian ambassador, when he lands at New York on the steamer Rotterdam from Holland. Archibald carried Dr. Dumba's letter to the Vienna foreign offijce disclosing plans to cause strikes in American munitions plants. All officials here are maintaining strictest silence regarding Archibald’s case, but it became known today that United States Attorney Marshall at New York, has been instructed by the department of justice, which takes the view that there is ground for con- sidering whether Archibald violated a federal law. The statute on which the govern- iment is proceeding fixes a fine of not more than $2,000 and imprisonment of not more than three years for its violation. There was no indication today of any further move by the government in the case of Captain Franz Von Papen, military attache of the Ger- man embassy, for whom Archibald also carried a letter, and who was mentioned in Dr..Dumba’s report as being connected with the strike plans. At the German embassy it was said no intimations has been received from the state department that Captain Von Papen was persona non grata, but that the embassy, of course, would accede to any request the United States might make in his case.

RUSSIAN RETREATS INJURE MORALE German Gommander Says Tentons Will Avoid Napoleon's Errors (Correspondence of the Assoclated Press.) Budapest, Hungary, August 25.— General Von der Marwitz the German cemmander of the Tenth Army Corps, who is undergoing a cure at Postyen, in Hungary, after an arduous cam- paign in Poland, declares that the Russian “‘policy of fighting by re- treat,” while in some ways very ef- fective, must inevitably ruin the mor- ale of the soldiers. Discussing the campaign in Poland, he said: Avoid Napoleon's Error. “If the Russians repeat the strategy of 1812 by devastating and = burning everything behind them, they can do it without compelling us to repeat any of the mistakes of Napoleon. It is a foolish mistake to assume that the German staff is not thoroughly tfamiliar with the lessons of Napol- con’s 1812 campaign. We have stud- ied it thoroughly, and have learned all it has to teach. “I came from the front a few days ago. 1 was located to the south of Cholm. There the Russian wheat was mostly untouched, but the villages were burned down and the Russians had taken all the agricultural labor- ers with them. We immediately formed German dgricultural commit- tees to harvest the wheat. In some of the places further toward the in- terior I learn that the Russians are now burning the wheat also, but this does not bother us.~ “As a matter of fact, we shall not really invade Russia proper. We shall reach a certain line, will there re- construct the defensive works, and remain until peace comes. The tac- tics of the Russians to retreat when in dangerous positions will not per- suade us to fcllow them into danger- ous positions ourselves. We are much too clever for that. Retreat Breaks Morale. “The continuous retreat is not good military tactics—it is too hard on the morale of the soldiers. In fact, my impression is that, to a great extent, the spirit of the Russian army is broken already. It will not be of any great importance whether we pursue them or not, for the Russians at pres- ent are incapable of any offensive on a large scale. Here and there the Ruesians still possess intact forces, which can undertake a partial offen- sive sometimes, but they do not achieve any success of note. What- ever sucesses they win at isolated points cannot affect the general situa- tion. “As to all this talk about ‘1812 tac- » T am perfectly safe in saying that our armies will only continue the pursuit as long as our communica- tions are not threatened and the work of supplying the army goes on unhin- dered.” .

WAR HAS CHANGED SWISS WATCH TRADE Demand For Military Time Pieces, However, Averts Threatened Bus- iness Disorder. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Zurich, Switzerland, August 28.— The exports of Swiss watches in 1914 show a decrease in value of more than $12,000,000 as compared with the previous year. ' But for the read- iness with which Swiss manufactur- ers adapted themselves to the changed conditions their losses would have been still greater. Switzerland’s watch export industry is the greatest in the warld. Eighty- seven per cent. of all the foreign watches sold in the various countries of the world are made in Switzer- land. In 1913 there were exported more than fifteen million watches of a total value &f some $37,000,000, Wwhile less than 300,000 watches were sold in the home market that year; not two per cent. of the total pro- duction. When the war broke out thc Swiss watch industry was brought to a sudden standstill. The manufactur- ers were most pessimistic. There were no arders, there was no money and credit was difficult to obtain. But changes in fashion soon helped them to circumvent the hardships. Obviously there was no longer any market for the more expensive watch- es so the makers turned to produc- ing cheaper articles especially adapt- ed for the military. A great trade was done in silver, nickel and gun- metal cased watches, with luminous dials whichifund a.ready sale.ameng army men,; -Excepting certain: tawns and districts where only expensive watches had been made the industry gradually recovered from the first depression. and there are now fewer { unemployed workmen than any time since thHe war began. = ENGLAND RECEIVES NOTHER AIR VISIT (Continued from First Page.) there is no danger that Petrograd will fall this year before the guns of the invaders.

El Paso, Tex, Sept. 13.—General Felipe Angeles, second in command under General Villa, announced it Juarez last night that he would leave soon for New York and Washington on a mission for Villa and the con- vention government.
