Neuville st. NaaSt we became masters
of another group of houses after a
conflict of great intensity. In the
region of the labyrinth a German
counter attack was repulsed.
ITO the southeast of Hebuterne, the
Germans sought TO recapture the po-
sition they had lost, but we're repulsed
four times We have increased our
gains toward the northeast, having
captured two lines OF German
trenches along a front of 500 metres
as far as the road from Hebuterne to
Serre. We took 150 prisoners Of
whom 100 were unwounded."

Last summer, when the sudden outbreak OF

paid hotel bills and landed the needy tour
lists safe and sound on American soil. This
aid was furnished with the distinct under
standing that Il was to be repaid at the
earliest opportunity.
The trouble-makers were those who appar-

Government. They are the type who feel
that they have done no wrong when they
