ly wiped out in the fighting which
followed. II was a general melee in
which the cries Of the men engaged
hand to hand could be heard plainly
The number of prisoners taken
this week amounts to more than 5000.
There is absolutely no index OF the
casualties inflicted on the enemy. The
lighting is too thick for the most part
to permit of individual surrenders.
Finding Monchy too difficult, the
Germans late yesterday directed a
counter-attaclk on Gavrelle. where the
last defensive line before the Dro-
court switch position had been
pierced. Four thousand men were
seen forming for attack at distance
of 1000 yards British field guns,
massed in great number, were trained
on the Germans, but their fire was
held until the advancing enemy was
about 1000 yards away. Then a per
feet hurricane of fire was opened and
shrapnel shells played about the ad-
vancing column like firefies in sum-
mer thioket. The oncoming waves
trembled for time and then broke,
completely routed. Their path was
strewn with dead and wounded"

MAY DAY FESTIVAL
To be Held at Library Hall, Saturday

The young people of Bennington
will welcome the coming of spring in
May Day Festival on May IL. This
is the time of year when everyone
feels the thrill of new life. The re-
turn of the birds, the budding flowers,
the fresh spring winds with their
promise of summer bring with them
an exhilaration that no one can re-
sisi.
The custom OF celebrating May Day
is a very ancient one but as far as is
known it has never been done in Ben.
lnhgton. The Romans held ceremo-
MES in honor OF the goddess Flora
and the Maypole was used in the ma
ture worship of the East but in north
ern climates the rejoicing at the re-
lease from winter and coming Of
spring has naturally been greater and
the festival more celebrated In old
England the May Day revels were one
of the great events of the year. Early
in the morning bands of young men
and maids went into the woods and
returned with music and laughter lad
ened with hawthorne blossoms for the
decoration of the village. A great
pole was brought in and raised with
much ceremony decorated with flow
ers and ribbons. 1t was customary
to have a Lord and Queen of May to
preside over the festivities and often
the milkmaids gave special dances.
The Puritans who frowned on all
amusements were especially opposed
to May Day revelries so although
they were at their height at that Pc
riod in England they were not brought
to America.
In late years, however. the custom
has been revived somewhat to give OK
preston to the unconscious nature.

REPUBLICANS FAKE STORY
ABOUT CORN TO DECEIVE VOTERS

did much to keep in countenance the
voters who were in desperate need of
an excuse for believing what they
wanted to believe. Yet, now that the
election has passed, how cheap and
tawdry it all looks.
Gives Facts in Case
OF the transaction, James w. Hill,
Peoria, writes:
There was one car only of Argen-
tine corn brought to Peoria before
election by Clark and company, dis
tillers. The head men of this com
pany are Republican politicians. 1t
is generally understood they lost $500
on the deal. The corn was not used
by this firm in their business, but was
sold to concern here for chicken
feed. This corn is of small kernels,
about like our native pop corn. Had
it been of any value to the distillers
they certainly would have used it, as
they buy several hundred carloads of
native corn every month. The deal
was for political effect"
From other sources it is learned
that the price of South American
corn, as given in the market reports
of American newspapers at the time,
was quoted at 10 cents bushel high
er there than in the United States.
But it was good enough for Nor
gan till after the election" and help
ed to roll up the enormous Republican
vote among the Illinois farmers.
Deception and credulity are the
foundation on which rests the protec-
tive tariff.

WESTERN MINES PAID HUGE
DIVIDENDS LAST YEAR

Ten mines in Arizona paid $34, 000,-
600 in dividends during the past year.
Adding Utah, Montana, Nevada and
Idaho dividends to those of Arizona
makes a total of more than $780,
100000 in dividends paid out of the
mines of these five western states in
single year.
These are some Of the facts brought
out by the report of the Geological
Survey to Secretary Lane just made.
"Never BEFORE" said Lane, "has so
large a draft been made on the nat
ural resources of our country as dur
ing this year, and never before have
the metals been extracted from these
ores with less waste or utilized to
better advantage in advancing the
general prosperity of the country.
Even as written in the plain figures
of 1916 production the wonderful
record of our mines sets forth a de-
gree of national industrial independ-
ence only hoped for a few years
ago"

is simply an indirect way of boosting
wages, and we think all agree that
the wages are high enough at the
present time in fact, higher than the
lumber industry can stand. We be-
lieve they are so high that it is lower
ing the efficiency of labor instead of
improving it,"
The rates for common labor in the
lumber camps are $1.75 and 81 day.

"MUTINY" ON u. S. SHIP
THREE FILIPINOS DIE

Additional details of the mutiny on
December 81 on the United States
fuel ship Ajax in Philippine waters
led the navy department to make
known the fact that an exceptionally
rigid investigation would be made.
Information received was to the eff
feet that a terrific battle between
officers and crew ragged aboard the
vessel for more than three hours,
every kind of weapon from slaves
to handspikes being used. The mutiny
was the outgrowth of disagreements
between the engine room force and
the first assistant engineer. The
ringleaders were Filipinos. AS a re-
suit of the mutiny three Filipinos
died.

Organized Labor Of Canada Suspicious
of National Service"
Scheme.

The scheme Of the Ottawa govern
menL to inventory the man power of
Canada for the alleged purpose of
National Service" does not appear
to have met with very cordial re
ception at the hands Of the organized
workers of the Dominion. 1t has been
most emphatically turned down by
trades and labor bodies all the way
from Montreal to the Pacific coast.
There seems to be one common note
sounded by these working protestants
against the scheme and that is that
none would object to anything in the
shape of real national service, that is
service that did not carry with it sub
servience to the profit hungry
horde who are reaping rich revenue
from the production of war materials,
and who are seeming still greater re-
turns from contracts yet to come.
A Bumper Meeting.
That the organized workers of
Vancouver are right in line on the
matter of national service" and the
scheme of registration was amply
proven by the action of the Trades
and Labor Council, and by the bumper
meeting held in the Labor Temple.
The big hall was crowded to the doors,
and the remarks of the various speak
ers seemed to meet with the unani-
nous approval Of all present. The
meeting was addressed by several well
known members of the organized labor
movement Of Vancouver. The temper
and spirit of both speakers and audi
ence was emphatically in line with
the action taken by the workers of
Winnipeg, Calgary, Regina, Victroia
and other places. That so many of
the workers are beginning to see the
light, and correctly interpret the sign
upon the social horizon, affords a
veritable rainbow Of promise as tc
what their activities will bring forth
in the days that are to come.
