L OF
Federation of Labor Asks Cana
dian Delegate to Leave Hall
for Attack on Law.
(By The Associated Press)
Bufalo, N. Y., Nov. 21. The favorable
roport today of a resolution cnlllng for
the conscription of citizens of allied aii
. tions in this country brought on one of
the .most heated debates of the ann'JDl
convention of the American Federation
i'of Labor. It reached a climax when
Thorons Black, a Canadian delegate, who
characterized conscription laws as ''das
tardly legislation," was called upon to
retract or leave the floor of the conven
tion. The committee's report endorsing the
. resolution was adopted by a vote of 241
to 20 amid a storm of cheers, but not
until a large number of the delegates and
President Gompers had replied to Bla':k,
and Delegate Cary from Toronto, Ont,
had declared that Black's statement did
not represent the sentiment of Canadian
trades union men.
The demand for a retraction from
Black was not put in the form of a mo
tion, and the matter was dropped after
the adoption of the committee report.

Germans Fight on Last Line
(Continued from page one)
f tin try which had swarmed into the
holes mode by the mighty engines, was
engnging tho enemy in open fighting
along the Hlndenburg support line, back
of the main defenses nt many points.
Up tit noon today there had been no
hard fighting and tho German artillery
fire had been very weak.
The Germans surrendered freely in
numerous places and several hundred
were brought in during the first few
hours of fighting.
Two nt temp tod counter-attack a were
smashed by Itritish infantry during the
e trly hours, one in a tunnel trench near
Bullocourt, tho other at Havrincourt
Park, whoro ono company of Germans
essnyod an advance.
Tho tanks this afternoon, followed by
infantry, wore continuing their journey
into enemy territory.
Prisoners admit ruefully -that the at
tack wn a surprise to them nnd caught
many of them in their dugouts. The
Rocrpcy with which tho British made
their preparations was ono of the most
striking features of tho offensive. Guns,
tanks, troops ware moved Into the

Showanda, tht hobt of -tho amokozw tl
In his entire two months at Camp
Lewis, he has never talked to a single
man who hasn't been in one or the other
of the six Y. M. C. A. buildings, says
Reverend H. W. Davis, who is here
for a few days' rest? Mr. Davis men
tioned this fact in explanation of the
great interest taken by tho men in ser
vico in the Y. M. C. A. The men aro
much more concerned . with religious ser
vices than in civil life, and to n much
greater extent than most people imagine
Mr. Davis said.
Mr. Davis, who was given a leave of
absence from the pastorate of the First i
Baptist church of this city, in order to
become religious director at one of tho
Y. M. C. A., has recently been made
building secretory of building number 3,
He has been ill and was in tho base
hospital three doys, leaving there yester
day morning for this city where he is tho
guest of Mr. nnd Mrs. Hugh Hampton
until the first of the week, when he
returns to the army camp. The cause of
Mr. Davis' illness was a bad cold, which
he says is very common in a foggy at
mosphere at the camp, and the minor in
juries received in an automobile accident
of two weeks ago.
The six Y. M. C. A. headquarters at
tho cantonment are situated at regular
intervols throughout the grounds, and
the 45,000 men in camp attend the one
nearest their quarters, accordingly each
building ministers to practically 8,000
men. Besides these buildings, there is n
large auditorium where lectures of un
usual importance are held and where ath
letic events are staged.
In his building alone. Rev. Davis says,
there arc from 2,000 to 4,500 men at
different times ench day. The other
buildings receive like patronage, and he
ssiys he has never seen any buildings
in such constnnt use as these Y. M. C.
A. headquarters.,
A social program is given in each of
the buildings every night, beginning at 7
o'clock 'nnd the men stnrt gathering for
them os soon as they finish evening
mess. Sometimes, entertainers are se
cured from Tacoma and Seattle, some
times the National War Council furnish
es amusement for the evening nnd ofter
tnlent among the men is utilized, differ
ent company putting on athletic matches,
readings, song fests. dnncing exhibitions,
plays and so on. People outside the comp
ore very willing to heln. Mr. Davis said.
He told of one visit of the pnstor of the
First Methodist church of Seattle nnd
80 members of bis chorus choir. These
wore sent by the Scuttle Rotnry club.
Erich building is fitted with a moving
picture outfit, the films being provided
by the war work council, each building
being enabled to give three different
shows a week.
"We aren't afraid to try out new
things." Rev. Davis snid. "We want any
clean entertoinment that will interest
the men, and so nre putting on different
things all the time."
There are four strictly religious ser
vices each week, tho Wednesday night
services, the regular Sunday morning
and evening worship nt 10 n. m. and 7
p. ni., respectively and a fellowship meet-
ing at six o'clock Sunday evening.' This
lust corresponds to the Christian En
deavor society or the Epworth league, or
the Baptist Young People and so on. Tho :
men attend the religious services very I
v-oll, it is said. Mr. Davis has never hod
nr audience of less thnn 800. and it is
usunlly nearer 000. .Tames MeCallum, a
member of the 301st anibulonce corps,
directs the singing in Mr. Davis' building
to which California and Montana men
come mostly.
A big feature of the Y. M. C. A. work
is the social counter where candies, ap
ples and other sweets, stamps, money
nnd express orders, nre sold, and out
going parcels nnd letters nre received.
Each of the six buildings is in chnrge
of six men. Roy Clnrk, of Astoria who
was secretary of building three, has been
culled to the work in Franco, so Mr.
Davis has been given his place.
Although tho long hours from six in
tho morning until ten-thirty nt night
nre very tiring nnd the continuot noise
nnd confusion nre very wearing, the
work is fascinating, nnd he is enjoying
If very much, the Baptist pnstor snid.
He is feeling very much better now, since
leaving the hospital.
Efforts are being made by local minis
ters to secure a union service for Sun
day night nt which Rev. Davis could
speak. It is not known whether this can
be done ns yet.

Daughter of Former Resident of
Eugene Injured at Bandon in
Peculiar Way.
Betty Zentner, daughter of Mr. ind
Mrs. O. L. Zentner, formerly of Eugjne,
was seriously injured in a peculiar .nan
ner, according to the Bandon World,
which says:
"Betty, the five-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Zentner, Is at Emerg
ency hospital suffering from severs in
juries of the bead sustained in a peculiar
accident which occurred on the local
beach this morning.
"In company with bor mother nnd Mrs.
White, of Marshficld, the child wns nt the
edge of the surf when an unusually Mfifn
breaker came in nnd caught her, throw
ing her off her feet. A large drift log,
lifted by the water, rolled onto the child's
head and almost buried it in the snnd. As
the brenker receded the child was held
fast and the frantic mother and compan
ion, unable to release the little one, wjre
forced to undergo the horrible suspense
of wniting until another breaker came in
and lifted the log again.
"Unconscious, tho child wns rushed1 to
tho top of tho hill where n conveyance
wns fouhd to hurry her to the hospital.
Dr. It. V. Leop is in nttencance. It wns
at first thought that she could not sur
vive, but her condition late this evening
wns more hopeful, although she had not
yet fully recovered consciousness."
Mr. Zentner was connected with the
engineering depnrtment of the Willamette
Pacific railway while a resident in Eu
gene, but recently moved to Bandon
where he went into business.
