BRITISH CHECK
GERMAN DRIVE
Teuton Offensive Is Short
lived-Russians Continue
to Make Gains.


London. July 1l.-AIihtary experts
tonight see in the attempt of the
Germans to break the English lines
in Belgium another drive against the
French seaport of Calais. The con-
census Is it will fail as did the other
two attempts made earlier in the war.
The critics point out that the British
forces are in a better position today
to check any concerted move by the
Germans than they were in the early
months of the war.
The first drive OF the Germans In
1914 was checked by the British war
ships: the second, a couple Of months
later, cost the Germans thousands
Of men.
So terrific was the gun duel that
Weged between the two armies tiIat
the firing was heard in the streets
Of London. The Germans pushed the
British back to the User river. That
much Is admitted. They penetrated
British positions on a front of almost
a mile to a depth of 600 yards. De-
fenses In the Dunes near the coast
were levelled by the terrific Gtrman
bombardments. This sector was
isolated by the destruction of bridges
over the User. The battle is still
raging.
The German official report stated
that 1,25O prisoners were taken.
The Germans also made an attack
further to the south of the coast
The British statement admitted that
the enemy gained temporary foot
hold in some advanced trenches. but
were Immediately elected by a coun-
ter thrust.

THE SPIRIT OF 1917.

II we Americans are worthy of the
name, if we are worthy of our great
inheritance, if we are worthy of the
men of 1776 and of 1861, the spirit
of 1917 will be spirit of service
We will serve in. the ranks in our
armies, if in that way we can best
help our country.
We will serve with our money in
vested in Liberty E'onds, IL in that
way we can best help our country.
We will serve on the farms, if In
that way we can bestshelp our coun-
try. ts%& u
Somewhere, somehow we will
serve
Only in that way and in that spirit
can we win victory for the immortal
principles of liberty that America has
stood for since the beginning of the
great republic.

near as may be golden era of good
will and mutual toleration"

near as may be a golden era of good
will and mutual liberation"
The message comes at a good time
for America, because America is yet
to undergo trial in the fiery furnace
of the most awful war in history. We
can learn from Great Britain, because
Britain is the nearest approach to
America in institutions, laws, demo-
cratic government, unions of labor,
and highly industrialized civilization.
When the war broke out, relations
between capital and labor in Eng
land were practically at the breaking
point. So much was this the case
that the German bureaucrats thought
1t would be impossible for Great Brit
ain to be a serious factor in war
But when the very existence Of the
island empire was threatened, when
freedom was on the point of being ex-
tinguished in flash truce was de-
clared between labor and capital, and
both sides, to their establishment,
learned that more could be obtained
by friendly discussion than by bitter
battle.
Labor leaders and capitalists met
face to face and threshed out their
differences. There was give and take,
there were mutual concessions by
both sides, but it worked. 1t worked
for England. 1t worked also for a
better understanding for the men and
their employers. After awhile, trust
was Bred and liberation, and good
will.
The things thus gained when the
country is under the shadow of war
will not be lost in the sunshine of
righteous peace. There will be per-
manent advance all along the line,
permanent benefit, permanent good.
What worked in Great Britain can
ne applied also IN THIS country. All
that is needed is for both labor and
capital to remember that words of
good will 60 farther than bitterness,
than acrimonious debate, than strikes
and lockouts, than the suffering and
loss to both sides that serious dis
putes entail.
Remembering the great cause for
which America is fighting, remember
ing how Great Britain solved her Ia
Dor problems, it should be possible
in this country to settle every dis
pute with justice, with equity and
without unnecessary friction and eco.

A LESSON FROM FRANCE,

Here is little story that came
over the seas in letter from France,
which illustrates better than volumes
the spirit that is animating the
French people: A young man was
mobilized the very first day of the
war, leaving behind him his wife, who
was soon to become mother.
While he was still in camp, he
learned that little son had arrived
in his home. Borrowing a bicycle
and taking the fearful risk of being
accused of desertion in war time, he
