ing says.
IF the applicant is so far distant

American Author and
Lecturer Talks Patriotism,
Industry and Humanity

A new epoch in industrialism in
which employers, employees and the
public shall cooperate to prepare
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 D. m. The speaker
will tell Of the work being done by
the conservation movement to bring
all the factors of industry into hax-
mOniOuS accord.
Closer and more friendly relatIm-
ship between wage earners and wage
payers, Mr.. Clark will explain, will I'D
great 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 fieN
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 III b~y< o1n
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 cdr
tor on one of the middle western
dailys, and from that experience has
become with the industrial needs OK
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 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 in
dustrjal prosperity. Under the aus
pices of boards of trade, chambers Of
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

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
promulga ting the doctrine that capital,
labor and the pubic 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

they are trying to convince the citi-
zen that he is unwise in his encour-
agement Of laws that merely hamper

Fifteen German Attacks

London, Dec. 1.-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 a po-
sition to know say that we killed more
Germans opposite La Vaquerie in IL
hours than i'll any other spot in the
same tine 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 trif'ng that tactically the situation
remains unaffected.
1T is understood that many of the
troops engaged on the railway near

Yankee Courage Brings
Praise From British

With the British Army in France,
Dec. 1.-THE British little before 2
o'clock this morning made local at
tack in moonlight on the German DO
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 a 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 Notifications.
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.
