London. June 2S.-Canadian troops
now stand within one mile of the heart
of Lens, centre of the French coal min
ing industry. The advance was made
this morning under cover of concen-
trated bombardment and resulted IN
the capture of trenches over most of a
two-mile front on the rising ground
toward Leauvette and AvioH, suburbs
of Lens. Leauvette was reached and
the entire German front line before
Avion was absorbed.
The night bulletin from Berlin ad-
mits no loss, merely referring to lively
fighting on the LensArras road. 1t is
apparent, however, that Hindenburg
feels the continued pressure there and
is attempting TO create diversions else
where. An assault on British trench
on the Arras Cambria road, between
Monchy and Guemappe, is said TO have
resulted in heavy losses to the de-
tenders both in killed and prisoners,
but Haig declares the enterprise a
failure.
Activity on the French front was
largely confined to heavy cannonades.
Following their almost daily custom,
the Germans dropped 1920 shells on
Rheims, eight of them striking the
half ruined cathedral.
According TO correspondents at Cana
dian headquarters, to-days thrust
against Lens and the rail arteries
which supply it was delivered by con
tingents from Columbia, Manitoba,
Central Ontario and Nova Scotia. Brit
ish planes flying low over Avion at
daybreak discovered that the Germans,
because of mine explosions at the
crossroads, were having difficulty with
their communication, and were not
holding the little town in force.
A curtain OF shrapnel and explosives
was flung behind Avion and the Cana
dams moved forward on two-mile
front. At only one point was the re-
sistance vigorous. A body of Germans
behind a tangle or uncut wire played
their machine guns on the attacking
units and succeeded for a while in de-
laying the advance.
On the left the Nova Scotisns
pressed ahead as far as Leauvette.
where they took a number OF prisoners.
East Of the railroad tracks between
Avion and Mericourt the enemy. in his
dugouts, refused TO surrender. These
dugouts, were occupied by members of
the elite Prussian Guard Corps and
the Fifth Guard Grenadiers. However,
after a quantity Of bombs had been
hurled through the entrances an officer
and twenty-one men of the Grenadiers
scrambled into the open and sur
rendered.
Others are believed to be still alive
in the caverns.

Business Men Disturbed by Action
Against Transportation Investigation.
Washington, Jan. 8.-IndustriaI and
business organizations generally were
disturbed at the action of the house of
representatives in defeating the special
rule providing for action on the reso-
luton to continue the work of the
Newlands committee Of inquiry into
the transportation problem. MANY
business bodies have expressed them
selves as favoring the continuance of
this work Of inquiry In the hope that a
better system of railroad regulation
may be worked out. 1t would be re-
garded as unfortunate Ii any political
differences should be permitted TO OBJ
struct the work which the commercial
interests Of the country feel to be so
vitality necessary.
They point cut that 1t is now thirty
years since the act to regulate com,
merce was passed, and the time has
come when "a fresh assessment of cir
In the words of President
Wilson, should be taken in regard to
matters, In the hone
that improvement may be made upon

about the attitude of the japanese

Such was the emphatic and mill

Major General Shoichi Sugano, one OF
the members of the Japanese mission
which arrived this morning in the
Korea Maru The general, though
pleasant in his expression to the re-
porter of the Star-Bulletin, guardedly
avoided all questions which were fired
at him on board the steamer. He did
not waste much time in discussing the
proposition which was asked Of him;
but rather, politely answered that he
had nothing to say about their mission
to Washington.
The general spoke in Japanese to
the Star-Bulletin man, and suggested
that any question which needed an
swers from him, as well from any OF
the members of the mission. be asked
of Mr.. Matsuzo Nagai, secretary OF
the party.
General Sugano passed through Ho
nolulu several years ago on his way
to the Japanese legation in London,
England. And when he arrived this
morning at the dock he expressed his
pleasure at seeing the new Honolulu
again. When pressed further for in.
formation he waved his hands and
walked away smiling.
