U.S.. Troops Lie Low While
Britishers Shoot Over Them

With the British Army in France.
Saturday, Dec. Large numbers of
American army engineers working On
the British railways in the region OF
GouzeaucOurt, caught in the German
turning movement, escaped by lying
in shell holes and prone on the ground
while the British forces fired over
them. There they remained until the
British were near enough to enable
the Americans to join the ranks, when
they fought valiantly and played an
important part in replying to the en-
envy. The British commander refex1
to their valiant behavior with tho
greatest enthusiasm.
Americans elsewhere took busy
hand in the fighting and were UNDER
hot German shell fire. Numbers 0&
them volunteered for patrol work IN
the danger zone and all acquitted

Fifteen German Attacks

London, Dec. 2.-The Reuter- cor
respondent a; British headquarters in
France sends the following:
Saturday the Germans delivered no
less than Is attacks against our pos.-
tons in La Vaquerie. Those in po-
sition to know say that we killed more
Germans opposite La Vaquerie in II
hours than i'll any other spot in the
same time during the whole course Of
the war.
by far the greater proportion of
guns abandoned in the first German
onset on Friday have been recaptured;
the others were disabled. The amount
of territory the enemy has gained at
the sacrifice of thousands of lives is
so trifling that tactically the situation
remains unaffected
1T is understood that many of the
troops engaged on the railway near
Gcuzeacourt were American engi
neers."

Yankee Courage Brings
Praise From British

With the British Army in France,
Dec. 2.-The British little before 2
o'clock this morning made a local at.
tack in moonlight on the German po-
sition north and northeast of Pass
chendaele and about the same time a
minor assault against the enemy front
northwest Of Goeberg, these attacks
appear to have gone we'll as whole.
The British were held up in the cen
ter along the ridge for time, but for
the most part were reported to have
reached their detectives and to have
gained 400 yards at numerous points.
The attack about Goeberg involved
two strong German fortifications.
If the gain to the north along the
ridge is confirmed it will mean that
the British have added much to the
completeness of their observation in
this region

Every Man Who Was
Registered Under New Rule

Fargo, Nov. 3O.-Registered men,
both citizens and aliens, wanting to
leave the country, must now get their
passport permits from the local ex-
emption boards, according to a new
rule just announced by the provost

whether he should be allowed to leave
or not. The passport will be issued by
tie federal government on surrender
of the permit.
1t is absolutely necessary for the
registered man to apply at his home
board, but he may, if so far distant
from home that it would work a hard
ship to have to go there, apply at the
nearest board. On this point the rul-
ing says.
"1f the applicant is so far distant
from his own local board that it would
work hardship for him to apply there
to for a permit, he may apply to the
nearest local board to investigate his
case and at the res. strant's expense To
telegraph Of write to the registrant's
local board for authority to issue the
permit with recommendation as to
the adv stability of issuing it. Upon
receipt of such authority the local
board to which the registrant applies
may issue the permit

American Author and
Lecturer Talks Patriotism,
Industry and Humanity

A new epoch in industrialism in
which employers, employees and tbs
public shall cooperate to prepare
American industries for the trade
perils of the future will be described
by S. A. Clark, author and lecturer
and special representative Of the M
tional Industrial Conservation Move
ment, who is to address the Valley
City Commercial club on the evening
Of Dec Z, at 8 D. nj. The speaker
will tell Of the work being done by
the conservation movement to bring
all the factors Of industry into hay
moniOus accord.
Closer and more friendly relation
ship between wage earners and wage
payers, Mr.. Clark will explain, will 80
a gr eat way toward promoting nation
al prosperity and toward solving the
vital problems of industry. The speak
er will emphasize the need for indus
trial preparedness in order to cope
with the bitter and competitive trade
energies of foreign manufacturers to
capture the markets of the world and
invade our own domestic trade fie1
at the termination of the present war
Mr. Clark will emphasize the neces-
s.ty of working along human lines IN
order to increase industrial efficiency,
using fer his theme American Indus
try and War" Mr.. Clark will draw
from his broad and interesting exper-
fences a number of incidents to illus
trate his points.
Having travelled extensively, Mr.
Clark, number of years ago decided
to round out his experiences by taking
a course in the hard school of labor
so that he might study human nature
from the industrial viewpoint. Mr.
Clark was for number of years edi-
tor on one of the middle western
dailys, and from that experience has
become with the industrial needs Of
the country, he is also an author and
lecturer of national repute.
! With his deep sympathy for the Ia
boring man balanced by an unpreju~
diced regard for the rights of the EN-
ployer, Mr.. Clark has made a keen
, analysis Of the labor situation as it
exists today. Through him and other
speakers of his type, the national in
dustrial conservation movement is car
rying out its work of safeguarding III
dustrjal prosperity. Under the aus
piceS OF boards OF trade, chambers Oh
i commerce and similar bodies, it is
holding series of conservation meet
ings throughout the east and middle
west.
According to the statement given
out today, the movement was started
some time ago by group Of progress
sive manufacturers who perceived the
country's need for industrial prepared
ness. These men fOresaW that wage
earners and wage payers must forget
whatever differences they had in the
past in order to work together for
their mutual advantage. Now they are
promulgatirg the doctrine that capital.
labor and the public are the three real
partners in industry and that the part
ners should fight shoulder to shoulder
to persuade the workingman that his
interest and that Of hsi employer are
cloely interviewer. At the same time,
they are trying to convince the citi-
! zen that he is unwise in his encour-
agement Of laws that merely hamper
and discourage bus

PEARL ARRESTED.
Charged With Selling Liquor to a
Soldier in Uniform.

]. w. Pearl, an old offender, has
at last felt the strong arm of the
law, and his joint, which has long
been a menace to law and order,
will probably have to close for .
season.
The charge against him Is selling
liquor to a soldier In uniform,
which is a new federal law, the
maximum penalty for the vionation
of which, we believe, Is a 6ne of
$1,000 and Imprisonment of one
year.
For two weeks Sheriff Daven-
port, Circuit Clerk Bagnell and
Lieut.. CowaFt have been working
on the case, but the law Is new and
the officers at VIcksburg were not
familiar with Its provisions. How
ever, they communicated with
Federal Attorney George, with the
result that Tuesday Assistant Mar

local officers went with him to
Pearls place. Finding that be had
