GERMANS CONTINUE
TO GIVE UP GROUND
Haig's Pressure Results in Taking
New Lines.

LONDON. June 14.-Abandonment Of
important sections OF FIRST lines be
tween the river Lys and st. Yves by
the Germans, because of the ire
mendous pressure OF the British ad'
vance east of Messines, was an
nounced by Field Marshal Haig today,
"Our further advance to the east
OF Messines combined with our pres
sure to the south compelled the enemy
to abandon important sections on
their FIRST line between the Lys and
st. Yves" the British COMMANDMENTS
chief asserted.
The victory thus gained by the
British forces again emphasizes the
dominating strength OF the wyt'
chaete- Messines ridge, taken in last
weeks great assault. The territory
surrendered to the British forces on
the German retirement still further
back in the triangle formed by the
River Lys and the Ypres-Lilie canal,
the point of which Is at Confines,
where the two waterways join.
The enemy position in this salient
is exceedingly precarious, due to the
river and the canal hampering rapid
operations on their part, and military
observers here today expressed the
belief that evacuation OF the entire
triangle might be foreshadowed by
the frst-Iine withdrawal reported BY
Field Marshal Haig.

BRITAIN CONFRONTED
BY COTTON CRISIS
Government Intervention Talked Of
Because Of High Price.

LONDON, June 14.-Sir Charles
NIAGARA, the cotton authority, com.
menting on the high price OF cotton,
says there is only seven weeks sup
ply of American cotton at Liverpool,
and adds:
"I have advocated for years that
the cotton industry should regulate
its own affairs and meet the crisis
as II arises. In 1914 the employers
and operatives co-operated in hand
ling the crisis. which otherwise would
have been disastrous. They could
repeat that exploit now. Govern
mental Intervention seems almost in
evitabIe, though II is undesirable and
preventable.
MANY mills would gladly close
down or work on half time, but there
would always be some who would
take advantage of the movement to
safeguard the industry as a whole.
II the crisis is to be overcome there
must be no exceptions. All mills must
be run on an agreed basis. and II
the operatives and employers act to-
Eether II can be done"
The unprecedently high price of
cotton has brought the British indus,
try to the most serious crisis of its
history. Governmental action Is
probable. necessitAting the practical
establishment Of rigid governmental
control and making this largest in.

lower than those Of ancient Greece.
We are the only great industrial ma

sense. II should begin with the public
schools. and we should rid ourselves Of
