ers OF many of the Moline factories

Mr.. Rose had some worth while
things TO say about foreign trade and
its relations to the manufacturers Of
the United States There is not a
doubt, he said, that abnormal condi-
tions which have caused foreign com
petitors to temporarily take a back
seat, commercially speaking, have en-
ahied the American manufacturer to
get in the thin edge of the wedge, but,
he said. it will require all his atten-
ton and careful study to retain his
foreign connections after conditions
have become normal,
Mr.. Rose gave thorough explana-
ton of what constitutes salesman for
foreign business. A salesman TO he
successful in foreign country must
know and thoroughly understand the
people with whom he is dealing.

 In Champagne, to the northwest of Vile -Sur-Tourbe an action of a purely local nature has given, to us a very bril- liant success.
 Last night the enemy exploded mine behind our first line. Eight German com panies immediately precipitated them selves on our positions and they gained a foothold in one salient. We mmedi- ately delivered counter attack and re- took part of the lost ground taking 77 prisoners, of whom three were officers.
 During the course of the day we deliv- cred g counter attack which was carried out with much spirit with the bayonet and hand grenades and resulted in our | recapture of all of the positions. 'The enemy has suffered enormous losses, a fact which has been esta bished by us with certainty in the trenches and on the parapets. We have in fact found
 more than 1000 German dead and we have, l in addition, captured 300 prisoners, includ- 1 Ing nine officers. and taken six machine
 guns. Thus almost all of the attacking
 force remained either in our hands or on the ground
