that their wives and children in the

Men More Efficient.
Another letter comes from one OF
the states best business men. who has
been a larger employer q labor for
the past twenty years, and Is connected
with three of the largest mines In
our State. He says:
The efficiency of the men since the
adoption of the prohibition law has
materially Increased We are now get
ting more work per man than ever
before. Notwithstanding the exceed
ingly light run. the overdrafts OF our
men have been less than we could ex-
pect to see. which is due to the fact
that less script and money Is being
spent for liquor than previously. We
have had less trouble than ever be-
fore in getting the men back to work
after payday. The number OF brawis
and fights in the camps has decreased
very much, and tho few that We do
have have been due TO liquor.

Montreal. Que, April 3--Despite
the many rumors that wages would

that they would be forced to reduce
wages. Threats OF strikes were
made. and there was decided uneasi-
ness until last week. when Il was
given out that the date OF the chi

PRESSURE ON GERMAN

bureau Issues the following from the
British observer now with the French
forces:
ut IL now six weeks since the
French offensive operations in north
ern Champagne began.
The aim was to keep constant
pressure exerted on the ereu1y's f'rst
lii OF defense. to affect the use .cf
the railway from Bazancourt to Ghal-
ierange. and to wear down the re-
serves of men and ammunition This
pressure was continued for thirty-one
days. the result OF which was thar
the enemy lost a fortified area which
he had been holding and continually
STRENGTHENING for i've months.
The German artillery practfced
economy unusual with them In this
operation. Many DAYS they made no
effort to keep down the fire OF ths
French guns. although Il meant a
heavier loss for their infantry in the
trenches.
Two valuable lessons have been
learned from these operations:

every time such situation arises.

other point. The British attack at
