batting average seldom makes sacrifice hit to win the
game, but the man who is intent winning the game
ready to carry out orders and is the valuable player in
the end.
The successful chamber of is that institution
in which every member is willing to sink his personal pre-
negatives in the general good of the whole He knows
that he will get his share the general benefits that
to the whole community.
Such cooperation is won when the chamber follows
the policy of the star team of players Each member
must have the responsibility of work thrust upon him. He
also must know that in doing that work depends the

The doing of this work also nsures the interest of the

General Petains forces have as
sumed the initiative along the Chemin
des Danes in France and have taken
back the small advantages gained by
the enemy during his weeks of tena-
eious assaults. The lost ground on
the California and Classmates plateaus
all has been recaptured and the
French, in spite of vicious counter
attacks, have even pushed their line
forward at several points in the latter
region.
The artillery battle In northern Bel
GUM which has been in progress for
some time, has reached an intensity
never before experienced. While the
British official communication as yet
has only barely mentioned the fact
that the big guns are hammering
away, the probability is that General
Haig Is preparing for another of his
great drives, similar to those made on
Arras and Lens fronts, which worked
great havoc on the Germans and gave
the British forces bases of important
strategic value from whence to con-
tinue their operations.
Russians Still Retreat.
Notwithstanding the threat of Pre-
mier Kerensky that a policy of "blood
straint against the seditious Russian
troops in East Galicia, whose disaf-
fection has made null almost all the
brilliant gains they had achieved un-
der his personal leadership early in
the month, the Russians continue
their retirement virtually pell nell
before the German and Austro-Hun-
garian armies. From the wooded
Carpathians to the region of Tarnopol
the forces of General Korniloff almost
everywhere are in disorderly retreat,
hardly anywhere making an attempt
to hold back the oncoming enemy.
Already the losses of the Russians
in men killed, wounded or made pris-
oner and in guns and stores captured
are extremely heavy and these un-
doubtedly will become greater unless
the hoped for stiffening in the morale
in the Russians is realized soon.
Slavs Hold in Rumania.
Stanslau, the important grain and
manufacturing center, is being evacu-
ated by the Russians, while Podhytese,
Halcz and other towns have been
taken by the Teutons. Tarnopol is
more seriously menaced than ever, il
it has not already been retaken.
The entire eastern front from the
Baltic to the Black sea is the scene Of
big operations, with the Russians
standing firmly in the Rumanian
theater.
The Russians near Dvinsk and Viii
ma continue to show signs of disaf-
feetion. Although they had attacked
and captured German positions along
the Dvinsk- Wilma railway, the Rus
slams could not be induced to press
their advantage, and retired to their
old positions. In the repulse of at
tacks near Krevo which was recap
tured, and south of Smorgon, the Ger
mans cut entire regiments to pieces
with their calling fire of the infantry
and machine guns.

General Goethals' announcement of

How Split Occurred.
The presidents order comforting
the powers given by the congress au-
thorized the board to operate the
ships and the corporation to build
them. General Goethals, reinforced
by a letter from President Wilson
which declared he would not be ham

would have free hand. Mr.. Den
man with a letter from the president
which he thought charged the ship
ping board with responsibility for the
expenditure of the funds supplied by
congress, promptly blocked the gen

be adopted almost as it stands Chair
man Denman already has forced
