WORKERS AND \ 4 FIGHTERS. ANOTHER DEPUTATION TO THE FRONT. NEWCASTLE MEN IMPRESSED. (By Cible.—-Press AmocuUou.—Copyright.) (Received September 27th, 9.10 p.m.) LONDON, September 20. .. „ The Press Bureau announces that a deputation representing Newcastle workers visited the Western front and conversed with officers and men in tho trenches, and learned tho necessity for an adequate supply of ammunition, the fighters urging those at homo to drop their differences and ensure the utmost output* reasonable. - Officers emphatically expressed tho opinion that the British, man for man. were superior. They deprecated constant tributes to German organisation. British accomplishment* in organisation Bad been remarkable, notably at the convalescent. camps, where, since

December, ten thousand men had recovered, and had re-entered tho trenches. The secret of this success was the utilisation of the abilities of patients, all trades bein z represented. Pluntbing, tailoring, cooking, renovating. and dentistry were all done by convalescents. The result was that the men. after a fortnight's rest and recreation, were rehabilitated. The deputation were impressed by the goodwill existing between officers and men, and the cheerful confidence in the final result. Whatever the events of the past", splendid organisation existed to-day. The fighters have had a fullv trying time in trench work, and only ask that the workers be loyal to them and supply them with shells in ever-increasing quantities, without which success is impossible. The deputation deplores the unwarranted reports of slackness in British factories. It is bad policy to spread such reports, which depress brave fighters who have alroady more than enough to bear.
