Fighting at saillisel.

BERLIN. November IS. by wireless to
Sayville.-"The recapture of the east
ern part of Saillisel brought again into
German hands a portion of village
the possession of which has been more
fierceIy disputed than any other on the
Somme front" says an Overseas News
Agency review today of recent opera
lions in this war area.
The sanguinary fighting in the
vicinity of Sally -Saillisel which began
October g." adds the review, did not
result in the capture of the village I'M

had been reduced by shellfire The
attack against st. Pierre WAIST wood
so as to be able to advance against
Peronne from the north. 1t was only
by great effort, however. shat they
were able to maintain themselves in
the captured village, and it was not
until November that they were able
to launch their contemplated attack on
the wood, the northern and western
portions of which fell into their hands.
There yet remained between them and
their objective the bulk of this rough
thickly wooded area.
Then quick attack vigorously
carried out by the Hanoverian Fusileer

Serre Heights Not Taken.

Several hours of continuous.
methodical and destructive fire with
shells from guns of the largest caliber
and with gas grenades failed to shake
the German infantry in either the sec
tor south of Grandcourt or that be
tween Hebuterne and the road from
Serre to Mailly. At these points the
German first line positions were nearly
everywhere maintained. 1t was only
in the thrust at the center that the
British succeeded in crossing the first
line of the Germans, because of their
extensive blasting operations, which
had destroyed the greater part of Beau
mont and its defensive installations
The British, after the hardest sort OF
fighting. also succeeded in capturing
Beaucourt but their attempts to adj
vance farther failed in the face of the
tenacious German defense of their posi-
tinns. The most important object OF

DISTRICT NATIONAL GUARD CAMP,

vember 13.-This is the "meanest"
night the National Guard of the Dis

while in field service Today was it's
''meanest" day from the weather stand

years service; Maj. Charles r. Luce

more than twenty-five years to their
credit, and Col G1endie B. Young, with

Just what is meant by '.meanest"

that today was raw and clustering. 1t

but in sudden gusts that came with
such force they cut the face like a
knife. 1t was cold. very cold. Not the
sort that one gauges by the Their

being the kind of cold that 'chills the

disagreeable and nasty: it didn't seem

Germans Showered With Steel.

The notable concentration of British
artillery, prior to the attack along the
Ancre, November Is, is held in an Over
seas News Agency review of the fight
ing. given out today, to indicate an at
tempt on the largest scale to break
through the German lines.
More than 200 batteries showered

steel" says the review. "In and about
Hebuterne. further to the west. and
also south of that village, the British
had concentrated cannon of all calibers,
which were placed in dexteriousy con-

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
If Burlington Loses 1t Would Not Be
Able to Collect $4,000.

Burlington, Jan. 2l.-The suit of tn,
city of Burlington against Isaac Perel
man for non payment of sidewalk as
sessment amounting to $50 which was
partially heard few days ago in city
court, is held open until certain legal
objections brought by defendants coun'
sci. X. e. Brown and NJ. G. Leary, have
been settled.
One objection put forward was to the
trial of the case before Judge Palmer, on
the ground that as he was a resident OF
Burlington, he was an interested party,
and therefore disqualified.
The defendants counsel asks for a
change of venue to Chittenden county
court.
The case is important in its hearing
as il will test the right of the city so
far as city court is concerned, to assess
property holders for walks fronting their
property. The case undoubtedly will be
finally decided by the supreme court.
Should the city lose its case in the
court of last resort some $4,000 in back
assessments for public improvements
would be uncollectable, and the result
would have an important bearing also on
or not those who had paid might
bring suit against the city to recover.

"HIRED GIRLS" CARE
LITTLE FOR TRAINING
Average House Worker Got Her Only
Training "on the Job" According
to Investigations in Mime
apolis.
o.. no..

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 2l.--The av
erage "hired girl" does not care for tech
meal training in household duties and
the average housewife employer could
not afford to pay the higher wages due
skilled workers, according to report
made here to-day to the National So
ciety for the Promotion of Industrial
Education by Bess NJ. Rowe of the ag-
ricultural extension division OF the
University of Minnesota. The report
was one of the results Of the Mime
apolis Survey" which subject engaged
the exclusive attention of the conven-
tion this morning.
The report on homeworkers said the
investigation was conducted by under
graduates of the university belonging
TO the Phi Epsilon Omicron sorority, a
professional home economics society.
Three types of homes were visited, those
where the work was done by paid en-
ployes, those where members of the
family performed the tasks but in sur
roundings of comfort and even luxury,
and those where the housewife struggled
with the problems of bare existence.
Each type was examined in an effort
to determine whether short courses in
domestic science would be welcome.
After disposing of the "hired girl"
question the report said of the second
type of home that most home workers
who are performing their own daily
tasks have gained what ever technical
knowledge they possess from their own
experience or from the experiences of
their mothers and their friends" II was
said that while 81 such housekeepers
expressed desire for practical
and experienced teacher, only eleven
spoke of the necessity of tech
meal training" The investigators
thought this emphasized that the
woman with training but lacking az
actual experience in housework finds it
difficult to gain the confidence of the
practicing housekeeper
The student investigators encountered |
difficulty in obtaining information from
poverty stricken homes. OF the poor
est section of Minneapolis the report |
said st would be hopeless to attempt I
courses such as might be given in other |
parts of the city" It was pointed out /
that the mothers in many cases edo I
day work and have neither time nor /
strength to take training courses" al
though some expressed desire that
these be given for their children. Groups
for household training already organized
by social settlements were held out as
providing wedge into this section of
the general problem.
In its general conclusion the report
stated, in part:
"Only one out of every five home
workers have had training in any of the
household arts except what they got
on the job condition which would not
be tolerated in any other profession
with an equal amount Of skill and tech
meal requirements.
"The great average American home
makes the largest demand for training;
The type of home in which the work is |
done by the homemaker herself"
