On those whose days are Swallowed

But since I've but q slender purse
I send instead this little verse
Full Of the Gold Of Love, to say

Thoughts of Other Men.

Collect the thoughts of other men,
And to them add bit.
Subtract from thoughts of other men,
The thoughts that do not fit
But know the thoughts of other men,
Before you think alone.
For sometimes, thoughts of other men,
Are better than your own.

TANKS GAVE THE
 GOODS TO BRITISH
BRITISH HEADQUARTERS,

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS, France, Aug. 5-The tank has come to stay and OH Tuesoay last, say the generals on the west front, tb>y proved that as engines in mo- tnrn warfare they have d well de- lined position and are lncompar- ably useful'. The capture of St. Julien by the British last Tuesday, It is now admitted, was due to the work of squadrons of these tanks which went through the barage ire and cleared the trenches for the ad- vaucing troops, cleaned the German posts on the village and prevented any attempt to bring up further help for the Germans.
 Both French and British critics at tho scene of action describe the sue cess of the tanks as the feature of the fighting and the reason why under most trying conditions it was
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1917-08-06

possible to captrrc and hold St. Julien.
 Every advantage was on the side of the Germans, superior position, magnificent defenses, strong com municating lines, masterly control by artillery and the almost inn penetrable thickets of wire, made It's capture seem almost hopeless.

This took place after some of the blood jest fighting in the war, charge after charge being led by the Slav regiments which had lost their red flags because of their mutinying at Brzezany.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. D. The great capitalist interests of the nation do not, want their proft-pro- ducing employees to go to war. They are bringing tremendous pressure to bear on the government to grant widespread exemptions to the labor employed by them.
 Chicago packing houses have sent representatives here to present their cases to the administration, while

have been used, with batteries of machine guns as well advanced to the fight and passed through the German line of shrapnel almost without injury. The heavier guns turned upon the Germans and emp tied the trenches while the infantry following behind drove swiftly through the barage fire with small loss and held the trenches. It is over this capture that the Germans have shown such intense concern.

mining, leather and other industries have made similar representations.
 As result, it was learned today, hard and fast rules for industrial exemptions are being drawn up, They are practically complete, and are being held secret pending the appointment of the appellate eXemp- tion boards, to which they will be intrusted.
 From a forecast of these rules, it

appeared certain that in some cases entire classes would be exempted. This applies especially to industries engaged in supplying the army. Mu- milton makers, miners, shipbuilders shoemakers on government con tracts and persons engaged in rais- ing, curing, packing, transporting or distributing food for the army are included in these classes.

 The seriousness of the situaticr since the Galician failures has greatly aided the members in rcdliz- ing that quick action was needed.
