French Launch Attack
on the AiSne Front After
a Heavy Bombardment
By associated Press

Paris, Oct. 19. - The French last
night attacked the German lines on
the Aisne front after a heavy bonn
bardment. The war office reports
that the German positions were pen
etrated and that 100 prisoners were
taken.
\ German attack on the .Verdun
front, on the right bank of the
Meuse was repulsed. The announce
ment says:
After particularly effective artil-
lery preparation a series of detail
operations enabled us to penetrate
the German defenses in the region
OF Braye- e-en-Laonnois and LaffauX
mill We destroyed German defenses
and brought back 100 prisoners be-
longing to four different divisions.
An enemy attempt against our small
posts in the ChevreuX salient was re-
pulsed.
Between the Miette and the Aisne
we carried out an attack in the
course of which we inflicted serious
losses on the enemy and captured ma
terials. In the Champagne one of our
detachments penetra ted the German
trenches north of the Casque, pur-
sued the retreating enemy and after
spirited combat returned to it's own
lines"

Predicts Expansion

Speaking of commerce activities Mr..
Johnson urged that the agricultural
interests of the state be aligned with
the state body. He advised further a
research bureau in the state to advise
the Legislature on proposed laws.
The duty of the United States now is
to supply the demands of our allies
as well as those of our own armed
forces, he said, statistics were given
to show the great drain every energy
must be turned to war activities now.
Mr.. Johnson said, there will be an
expansion of American business never
before seen he declared Agriculture.
and in fact every industry is ex-
periencing shortage of labor.
Wages go up; but a period of re-
adjustment must come. 1t will be
painful and perhaps take a long time.
American industry must have ali il
can do for years to come. Those
things vital to the comforts of life
must be supplied at once, Others
slowly. He predicted America as the
financial center of the world.
