CAIN IN
STUBBORN FIGHT
PART OF POSITIONS GERMANS
CAPTURED ON AISNE FRONT
ARE RECAPTURED.
TEUTONS SUFFERED HEAVILY
Fresh Men From Russian Front En-
ployed by Crown Prince and
Battle Is Waged With
Much Violence.

Paris, June 21.-The French recap
the Germans In Wednesdays attack
on The Aisne front east of VauXmail-
Ion, the war office announced. The
statement says the battle was waged
with extreme violence, the Germans
employing fresh troops from the Rus
sian front. Heavy losses were suf-
fered by the Germans. In the Cham
payne the French gained ground
northeast of Mont Carnillet. The
statement says:
1.-The attack made by the Germans
on the positions east of VauXmaillon
was extremely violent. 1t Was pre-
ceded by heavy bOmbardment and
conducted by special assaulting troops
belonging to a fresh division which
has Just come from the Russian front.
The Germans made every effort to
procure some advantages, but they
encountered desperate resistance on
the. part of our troops. Some slight
gains which they obtained at first
were finally overcome under our fire
and the German counter attacks sue
ceeded only in penetrating our first
line trench in two places, south of
Mont des Singes, on front OF about
400 meters, and north of Noisy Farm,
on about 200 meters of ground.
Our troops undertook an energetic
counter offensive which permitted
them to retake part of the occupied
ground south of Mont des Singes,
where we found numerous bodies, in
dicating the heavy loss by the enemy.
We captured 80 prisoners.
In the Champagne during a detail
operation spiritedly conducted by us
we made some progress northeast OF
Mont Carnillet Here We took some
prisoners and captured five aviation
machine guns.
Fourteen airplanes and a German
captive balloon were destroyed on our
front in the period from June to 20.
Eleven of these machines were
brought down by our pilots during
aerial combats and three Of them by
the fire of our machine or anti-air-
craft guns. In addition, seven enemy
machines seriously damaged fell in
our lines.
'In the same period our squadron
effected numerous sorties. They bonn
barded notably the railroad station at
Bensdorf; blast furnaces at Burbach
and in the Saar valley; railroad sta
lions at Betheniville, Chatelet-Sur-Re-
tourne, Rethel, Mezieres, Charleville
and Molsheim; the bivouacS in Suip-
pc valley, and munitions depots in
the region of Laon, etc. Thirteen
thousand Kilograms (more than II
tons) of projectiles were dropped dur
ing the expeditions, which caused Sc
rious damage to enemy establish
ments."

| believe the most important thing
in business or politics to do is that a
man should be willing to serve. He
may do this by accepting office or

Red Cross Goods Not Sold.

The following statement has been
been issued by Harvey D. Gibson,
General Manager of the American
Red Cross:
"A story is being circulated to
the effect that sweaters, socks, and
other articles knitted for the Red
Cross are being sold, either to the
public in shops or direct to the SOL
diers. This is emphatically not true.
No articles whatever, either knitted
or otherwise made by Red Cross
workers and turned into any Red
Cross, Chapter, Branch or Auxiliary,
or to any supply warehouse, are sold
either to the soldiers or in shops.
if any wilful case of this sort
should come to the attention of
headquarters, the Charter of the
Red Cross Chapter or subsidiary
sanctioning it would be Immediately
withdrawn with full publicity.
Should it transpire that an actual
instance of the above character oc-
Cured wherein an individual sold
articles after their having been
turned into the Red Cross, such &C.
ton would be clearly in violation of
the fundamental law covering the
Red Cross, and we would take Wig
orous steps to prosecute the offender.
There is no way to prevent people
from making the same type of arti-
cles as are produced by Red Cross
workers and selling them for their
own advantage, thus subjecting the
Red Cross to unjust criticism.
Should they use the name or emblem
of the Red Cross in connection with
such sales, however, they will be
vigorously prosecuted. Any woman
may knit sweaters, socks or mufilers
for the Red Cross and feel sure that
it will reach some man in the Ma
tional Service. The Red Cross gives;
it does not SELL"

At the Convention | had a South.

that | have received does not COM
pare with the dissatisfaction of the
patrons, as some have said to me,
you are better off, but what will

If Democratic representatives
are unable to have Democratic de-

is the use of having Democratic of

salary? The service will not improve
until the voters wreck such machin-
cry that does not allow them to have
a voice in their affairs, by throwing
monkey wrenches into it by voting
for the opposite party.
What stronger argument could
there be against public ownership,
that so many Democratic politicians
advocate, which would not mean
better service or real public owner

clans for party benefit that would be
