The Ger man war office admits the loss of some German guns but asserts their forces have taken at least 150 allied guns and more than 15,000 prisoners.

It is believed here the Germans will not attempt to capture Compiegene it. self by direct assault and that the pres ent phase of operations will come to an end shortly unless they make bet ter progress in the Montdidier-Autheiul sector and can flank the defenders out of the whole Compiegene salient.
 The stubborn French resistance to the northwest is blocking flanking operations on Compiegene from this direction while the check encountered northwest of Chateau Thierry where American marines have hit hard re- peatedly and have stopped the enemy in his tracks thus far has prevented an even greater flanking movement from the south that might have dislodged the French defenders of Villers Cot terets forest.
 This southern movement is believed to be of wider significance than the operations the enemy was pressing to- day north of Villers Cotterets wood If it should berenewed successfully the fall of Compiegene and readjustment of the whole line from Montdidier tc theregion of Chateau Thierry would follow, in a long slow curve welding the Picardy and Aisne theatres into one great battle ground
 If observers here are correct in re- gard to this as the real German pur- rose, underlying both the Aisne of fensive and later developments around the COmpiegene salient, it is to be as sumed, it is said. that their further conclusion that the main attack would then be renewed, probably on the Montdidier-Albert-Ar front, also is well founded.

"NOT A MAN IDLE IN ANY
SHlPYARD IN AMERICA
Best Answer, Says Mr.. Post, to
Charges That Labor Is Not
Doing Its Part.

Denial comes from the Department Of
Labor that shipyard workers are not
standing by" to do their share of es-
sential war work. Assistant Secretary
Post announces that the last strike
which involved shipbuilding in the
United States, has been settled with
the return to work of 1000 metal trade
workers at New Orleans.
Not man is idle in any shipyard in

best answer to charges that labor Is
not doing its part. and such statements
cannot be credited and should be dis
continued. Our commissioners report
that the good ofioes of our mediation
service are welcomed by workers
everywhere. because OF an evident de-
ton which might hinder the prosecu-
tion of the war"
Mr.. POSTS statement is the first Of
ncial notice taken by the department
of frequent charges that union workers
were lying down" on Important jobs.
shipyards are believed by department
officials to have been responsible for
much of the labor turnover which has
delayed progress.
While some yard officials have al
legged that their men were shiftless.

ported they would not stay at the places

EXPLAINS HOW BILL WILL
STABILIZE LIBERTY BONDS
Representative Hull Of Tennessee
Speaks Of Sales by Persons Who
Had to "Unload."

In explaining his bill for stabilizing
United States liberty bonds which was
introduced yesterday. Representative
Hull Of Tennessee. who was active in
framing the revenue laws. pointed out
that In point of safety and fair return
on the investment there is not a more
desirable instrument anywhere today
than the liberty As. including those into
which the az per cent bonds have been
converted.
TT is well understood" said Mr.. Hull,
"that these sales were principally made
by subscribers who purchased more
than they could carry and found it adj
visable and necessary to unload a por-
tion at discount rather than to un-
dertake to retain them 1t Is obvious
that the true capital values Of this en-
tire amount of bonds should not be de-
termined or measured by the results Of
the practically forced sales at a dis
count of very small percentage Of
these bonds outstanding. Reasonable
measures to maintain the stability OF
the market as 1t affects these entire is
sues of bonds are therefore justifiable
and necessary"
Both England and France have had In
operation for some time provisions
similar to Mr.. Hulls plan.
