Classification of Industries

classification of all industries under

the new state compensation act and
the installation of the individual merit
rating system each employer to be
charged with the premiums his
hazards justify, was the intent of the
legislature in the passage of the re-

ney General A. A. Lilly. While the
law provides for the establishment OF
a fiat rate for the several schedules
of industries for the present year, and
these rates were announced by Com
missioner OFT, they will be effective
only for period of one year and will
guide the commissioner in the indi

London.-Sharp fighting on the

from the Germans. stood out promi-
nently in the war news.
The French pushed their offensive
movement in the oVsges with vigor
and made an advance of 700 yards on
a front of 500 yards and captured
about 500 unwounded Germans.
Field Marshal Sir John French,
commauder-in-chief of the British eX-
peditiouary force, reports that north
of Ypres his trops have extended
their gains, the Germans having fallen
back after an artillery duel lasting
two days and two nights. All the dis
patches indicate that the losses of the
Germans were severe.
In the eastern arena the Russians
are making firm stand in southern
Poland and are beginning an offensive
movement between the Vistula and
the Vieprz Rivers, striking south from
Lublin against the German positions
near Ourzendoff, Buchava and Kras-
mix. The front marked by these points
is broadly speaking, about twenty
niles to the south of Lublin and
Kholn, and about thirty miles to the
northeast of Sandomir.
All the German forces in German
Southwest Africa have surrendered to
General Botha, commander-in-chief of
the forces of the Union of South
Africa.
The successes won by the Allies in
these widely separated areas have
caused the British military critics to
assert that the turn in the tide" has
been reached in the war as it APP
proaches its first anniversary.
AT several points on the western
front the Germans are pushing the
fighting. Berlin dispatches say the
Kaisers troops have made further pro
gress in the Woevre region, where
they captured some trenches and $50
prisoners. French attacks at Souchez
were beaten back. The French vic
tory in the Vosges is regarded by the
Allies as the most important gained
for their side in several months.
