Additional German troops came pouring in until the town was oc- cupied as it never had been before. “But as the new occupants began to organize their defenses they found that bullets appeared to be coming in from three sides of the village and it was not long before they discovéred that the Amerieans, while withdr: ing from the front of the town, had commenced an encircling movement on both sides, thus forming a ring al- most completely around it “Then came tragic fighting. The j§ | Prussian Guard had voted not to sur- render and their opponents were just as to the thing through. Tt was an affair of smail arms, but the Americans proved to be Dbetter shots and slowly picked off men here and there. “Then the Americans began to vance and slowly their encireling ring closed about the village, the defend- ers saw their doom approaching, they redoubled their fire, but still the Americans came on unfalteringly.

At meeting in Washington later in the week, plans will be made to insure shipyard work against interruption in the coming year, also for the pre- vention of lost motion through com- peting efforts of Washington depart- ments, the commanding general in France and the Allies. The whole tenor of the conference talk was that however detailed figures | changed. the main fact was | the increasing war demand for steel | and with it an indefinite but inevitable reduction in the amount available for | other uses. The large schedules direct and indirect war weight to the claim still that all governmental agencies cerned have put their requirements top figures, in spite of repeated re- for pruning. In short, if de- liveries meet schedule figures, it is be- lieved the reservoir would be an ever filling one, the talked-of rail- road breakdown should be really jous.

The 10 per cent. wage increase nounced by the steel corporation a surprise to the independent com- panies, from which like action may be expected as heretofore.
