Lee is- sued a statement at the end of the committees three-day secrvs session, in their fight against the law. The statement follows in part:
 Two questions are involved in the appeal by the railroads to the courts for light on the Adamson law:
 "1-Is the law constitutional.
 "2-If it is constitutional, what does it mean?
 Opinions have been expressed by eminent authorities that the law is unconstitutional and there are con- ficting opinions as to how the law. if constitutional should be applied.
 Therefore. the railroads must, as a matter, of duty; ask the courts if the law is within the power of congress. It is a duty they owe, not alone to the owners of these properties but al- so the public that provides the rewe- nues for the payment of wages.
 'Tf the law Is declared constttu- tional, it. is expected that the courts will make clear it's meaning and the @o --aln faithfully follow the instructions of the courts"

General Haig in his report of the
capture of Pozieres gives the main
| credit to the troops of Austria and
New Zealand The attackers took the
town, building by building. Each
new building that was taken from
the Germans was turned into some
kind of a fort. Workmen were busy
making military strongholds out of
these places, by the addition of iron
and concrete. A windmill, for ex-
| ample, occupying commanding po-
sitiOn, was turned into a fortress, and
from this the British poured a cease
less machine gun fire on the retreat
ing Germans, who stubbornly con-
tested every foot of ground A GEM
etery was turned into an artillery
base. Here machine guns were
placed to rain a deadly hail on the
enemy. In this cemetery there now
lie great heaps of bodies above the
ground among the tombstone, which
have been shattered by the storm of
metal.
The capture of PoZieres now
threatens the German salient, which
projects between POnzieres and
