Vandieres village, on the Moselle River, south of Metz, was captured by the Americans in a brilliant attack, Sunday afternoon, the censor now permits to be announced.

American artil-tery put down a devastating fire, silencing most of the German machine guns that were sweeping the American flank. After losing the town the Germans bombarded it with gas shells, compelling the Americans to evacuate it, but on Monday the Americans advanced again and they not only occupied the village, but passed beyond it, establishing their lines to the north of the place. The American forces striking northeastward along the valley of the Rupt de Mad in the direction of Gorze and Chambley, have captured a series of important fortified positions, according to La Liberte. At the same time the French, operating in the Woevre, advanced three kilometres on a front of eighteen kilometres.

MILITARY SUCCESS IS ONLY ARGUMENT GERMANS UNDERSTAND, SAYS DANIELS Special to the Courier-News: Annapolis, Sept. 18. Military success is the only argument that German militarists can now understand.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels today told the graduating class of Local Manufacturers Confer With Mayor Calkins for That Purpose Eleven of the larger local industrial plants were represented at a meeting held in Maydr Calkins office yesterday, the object being, to discuss the necessity of a branch office in Plainfield for the U. S. Employment Service. Mayor Calkins explained the matter after the meeting as follows: "On August 1st the Federal Government put into effect a new regulation, restricting the private employment of unskilled labor in war industries. All common labor, for war work, in establishments employing over 100 men, must be recruited through the sole agency of the U.

S. Employment Service. The restriction, does not apply to non-war work, or to labor not solicited, or to farm labor; nor, as yet to skilled labor. "The larger industries in Plain-field, South Plainfield and Dunellen employ as many a3 7,000 men. If they are to be obliged to go to the U.

S. Employment Service whenever they require unskilled labor, the local district is important enough to justify a branch office, otherwise It will be necessary to go to Newark or New Brunswick or elsewhere whenever in need of men. The manufacturers met to discuss the situation this morning, and a letter has been sent to State Administrator Bryant, at Trenton, requesting an agency here. Everyone present at the meeting felt that it would be difficult to meet the Government's regulations unless there is a branch office in Plainfield, where men seeking employment at unskilled labor can apply for work, and where applications for men may be lodged by employers."
