 Again the intensity of the fighting around Verdun has dWindled percept- ibly. Only the artillery arms of the opposing sides are active. No in- fantry or counter attacks are being engaged in.
 Around Le Mort Homme where furious battles have been fought re- gently comparative quiet reigns. Even the bombardments here are only intermittent There also has been a slackening in the fire of the big guns in the Woevre region to the south west of Nerdun.
 Northeast of the fortress, however, around Douaumont and Damloup, the Germans are hurlng shells against the French position, but the French are vigorously countering. North of Nerdun on the right bank of the Neuse, important German ammunition depots have been blown up by the French guns at Champneuville
 Only one infantry action has taken place along the entire line from Bel gium to Vosges. This was to the north of the Aisne. where a German attack against small French post south of the Bois Des But:es was re pulsed.
 Constantinope reports that the British in Mcsopotamia are in general retreat from the English region with the Turks vigorously in pursuit.
 The hard fighting between the Aus tiians and Italians continues at var ious points, especially in the Isonzo region. but no important changes in positions have resulted. Little fight ing of importance is taking place on the English front
 Petrograd reports the capture hy the Russians of the town of Hamak- huatan from the Turks. The town is some 50 miles west of Erzerum oI the Euphrates river.

1t was a two-ounce bottle done up
in many thickncsses OF soft paper.
The bottle was full of nitroglycer-

1t belonged to Charles Davis, alias

robbed the postoiticc at Oakdale,

Davis, a little. smiling man, was in

newspaper editors assembled here and
addressing a mass meeting in Oak

At the Union Iron Works, where
the men assembled to hear the former

You can't make wages out of IN

restessness must stop. There must
be a spirit of corporation between
all. There can be no success OF labor
without cooperation with capital, and
no success OF capital without CO.
operation with labor.
"A foundation must be formed by
contentcd workingmen, who know
they have share in the nations pros

man factor in production has not
