BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE, Sep
tember Is. via London. September ID.
The most dramatic and picturesque
battle of the British army IN all its two
years In France was fought September
IL. Here is the story of how all kinds
of men from the ends of the earth took
part in this mighty conflict.
In the same dressing station this
week the correspondent OF the Asso-
ciated Press has seen Canadians. New
Zealanders. English, Scotch. Irish, New
foundlanders and Americans THESE
were some Of men of many countries
who took part in the now historic bat.
tie. and with them there went into &C
tton those armored motor cars. called
tanks" which are to the credit OF
quiet officer of engineers. When the
correspondent met this officer in Lon
don six months ago and asked him
what job he was now on he replied:
"shl sh! Don't tellr' 1t was the tanks"
that completed the wonderful business
of this battle.
Today when the correspondent was
calling on a Canadian brigadter 1t was
a tank" called The Gordon Rouge"
looking like q prehistoric monster in
a skin of modern armor and with en-
gtnes inside, which took him across the
field of she'll craters. weaving Its way
with pythonic adaptability by all ir-
resularities UP to the door of the brig
adier's dugout The skipper of THE
Gordon Rouge" alighted, and with
phlegmatic drawl announced that he
reported for further orders.
Many Americans in Charge.
The brigadier laughingly bade him
not to start the brute down the stairs
of the dugout, but move it to one side
and wait. So the tank" ambled with
the bulky leisure of a hippopotamus
over some more shell craters to a place
where it would be out of the way until
it was needed.
Then the correspondent went over the
ground which the Canadians had taken
up to the edge of the village of Cource-
f1ette. Later they stormed the village.
He met Canadians who came from Mon
treal. Toronto. Winnipeg and Vancou-
yer. But when he asked some of them
what part of Canada they hailed from
they replied: The same country as
you do-the United States"
There were men with the accents of
Missouri and New England and others
who. on the soil of France. hailed one

bee

said the Americans. "and that is what
we came here for" These men who
had rushed to the attack of the ridges
of the Somme against machine gun fire
and shells carried themselves by all ac-
counts in manner worthy of the ira
ditions of the civil war.
1t was the Canadians first offensive
on any big scale. They had stood the
shock of attack at the second hattie of
Ypres. at st. Eloi, Orrell Hill and Sane
tuary Wood. and it had been their for

FAMINE IN LABOR
The Outlook for the Kansas
Farmer Is Gloomy.
No Way of Handling Wheat
Crop Is Apparent.

As a result of the voluminous
amount of work to be found in the
east at this time, Kansas is facing one
of the worst harvest hand famines in
it's history, according to c. H. Banner.
head of the state free employment
agency. In fact, Mr.. banner can see
no hope for the Kansas farmer to har-
vest his grain with other than Kan
sas laborers and maybe a few import
ed laborers
On June 6. 1915, the state free en-
ployment bureau of Kansas had re-
ceived ISIS inquiries by letter from
persons wanting jobs in Kansas wheat
fields. At noon today the total num-
Der of applications received, numbered
$50. And on Monday Mr.. banner
finished compiling a report in which
he estimated that $4,000 men are
needed in Kansas this month and next
to harvest the wheat.
Similar Conditions in *. c.
Conditions are just as bad at labor
agencies in Kansas City, according to
information received from them by
Mr.. Danner. IN Kansas last year at
this time labor agencies had jobs for
| 10000 men, and as many this year.
But at that time 10000 had applied
! by letter. This year only 12S apph-
cations have been received.
There are only three remedies, all
doubtful, labor agent believe. One is
that the great body or students CT the
SunflCwer state will take advantage of
! the opportunity to clear a few dollars
to aid their parents in keeping them in
| school. Another is a faint hope that
railroads will turn off a majority of
| their laborers, or that the latter will
quit. A third is that Kansas farmers
| in their desperation will furnish trans
| portation to Kansas and at the sa me
| time offer wages enough to tempt the
eastern men from the munitions fac
