News Service,
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—Officials of
the Interborough Rapid Transit Com
pany announced today that prepara
tions have been completed for the
prosecution on the charge of criminal
conspiracy of -labor leaders, who,
without legitimate cause, encourage
gympathetic strikes. This announce
ment followed the Central Trades
Union recommendation for a strike of
80,000 workers in sympathy with the
carmen who are seeking to obtain
recognition from the companies.
In addition, a general boycott of
transportation lines affected by the
£trike on the part of the 800,000 union
workers in the city has been decreed.
If this, together with the immediate
strike of the 80,000 men whose work
“is keeping traction cars running,”
does not bring victory to the unions,
resolutions passed by the Central Fed
erated Union threaten to call out all
of the 800,000 organized workers in
this area.
It became known that transit ofM
cials have bheen keeping a close watch
on the labor leaders, and have collect
€d a mass of evidence that they are
prepared to lay before the District
Attorney whenever it appears that the
Proper time has arrived for such ac

(By International News Service.)
CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—The Zulus in
Africa, despised and pitied because of
thelr lack of civilizatfon, can show
their cultured brothers a few things
in the science of sugenics, according
to J. H. DBalmer, explorer and lec
turer. Mr. Balmer spoke before the
convention of the International Ly
ceum Assoclation today
“When & Zulu bahy at birth is be
low the standard they destroy it
declared Balmer, while pretty con
traitos and elecutionists shuddered,
“In that way they have molved the
problem of eugenics in one fell sweep.
The physically unfit are killed in
childhood, insuring the preservation
of a remarkable race. Nowhere are
there the specimens of physical per
fection among both males and fe
males as in South Africa.”

‘Best Day’
By FREDERICK PALMER,
Accredited Representative With the
British Armies of the Press of
the United States.
AT THE BRITISH FRONT,
Bept. 15 (via London), Sept. 16.—
Officers are universally speaking
of this as the best day for the
British arms since the offensiv
began. With the exception os
that of July 1, this morning’'s at
tack was the most extensive dur
ing the ten weeks of the battle
of the Somme.
Today, for the first time, new
armored motor cars of ingenlous
pattern suitable for crossing
trenches and shell holes, com
peted with the infantry and today
the British swept down from the
ridges on to the lower ground to
ward Bapaume. At this writing
they are bevond the village of
Flers, which they took early in the
morning, and are established in
Martinpuich and Courcelette,
The slow plodding work of re
cent weeks, which included the
taking of Ginchy and Guille
mont, had for its object the con
trol of all the high ground from
the region of Thiepval to the
Junction with the French on the
right
The Germans fought hard for
every foot of it, Delville, or
Devil's Wood, and the high wood
and rib of earth, windmill
rowned, beyond Porsieres have
been steeped with blood of men
and mixed with flesh aof men
fallen there under the longest
and heaviest orgy of shell fire in
the history of the war, as ex
perts agree
Wrestle for Mastery.
German wrestled with Briton,
not for a piece of farm land, but
for the military and human mas
tery. Today the British advance
was largely downhill. They put
behind them the high ground
where the slopes give them shel
ter for their guns, #nd whose
crest glves them observation for
their artillery fire.
Evidently the Germans did not
expect the attack, considering
that the British offensive wus
over and that the British would
séttla down for the winter in thel:
new and more advantageous po
sitions.
Never before, probably, were
more guns playing over the same
length of front than were In use
over the six miles where the Brit-
Ish made their advance on July
1, and where they have continued
their offensive with phlegmatic
and dogged persistence. The Ger
mans have kept bringing up guns
until they have a thousand in this
short sector, and yesterday the
