EARLY War SUMMARY
&c Aagcclatkd 4,reag..l

Marshal FoeEl struck q blow at the
Germans Ehia morning when British
forces south OF the sensee river be.
tween Bouai and Camhrai launched
an attack over a wide 'front.'. First
reports from the battlefield indicate
that satisfactory progress is being
made.
Sweeping over positions which
have been held by the Germans for
years and capturing thousands of
prisoners, pieces of artillery and
large quantities Of war material, the
French and American armies on the
great initial success in their at
tack yesterday.
Over a front of 20 miles the Am.
erican army has advanced TO an av-
erage depth of seven miles, captured
Il towns and taken 5000 prisoners.
When the last reports were filed
last night the Americans were still
pressing forward in pursuit of the
retreati1a enemy.
The French west of the Araonne
forest have gained from three TO four
miles at certain points and are
maintaining constant contact with
the enemy.
While Marshal Foeh struck on
line that has long been quiet, the
Germans evidently were aware that
tn assault was impending and know
ing it's power, had withdrawn their
| heavier guns and most of the forces
in the first lines to positions fur
ther north. For this reason the ad-
Vancing French and Americans en-
countered less opposition than might
have been expected over much of the
front attacked.
LIKE WINGS OF EAGLE.
When viewed on the map the
ground wrested from the enemy dur
ing the first day of the offensive
takes the form of two outstretched
wings of an eagle, the body of the

bank OF the Meuse, approximately
five miles north Of Dead Mans hill
point Of penetration officially den-
titled. Genera Pershing's report,
however, world appear to indicate
that the Americans must have near
ly reached Viiosnes, north of DAN
nevoux and moved ahead along the
/, Aire river on the eastern edge Of
the Argonne forest into the neigh
borhood Of Chateau and Exermont.
Ahead of the advancing French
and Americans are a number of inn
portant railway lines which feed the
German positions along the front. If
the drive continues to progress it
will carry a distinct threat to the
whole German position north of the
Aisne, west of the present battle
field and also tend to outflank the
anerov's lines before Metz and Briev
That the enemy has prepared lines
to which he is retiring is the belief
Of observers. Just where this line
is located is not known exactly but
it is probable that the rate of prog
ress of the allies if maintained, will
bring them up against this new
front very soon.

NORTH DAKOTA
MUST GIVE MEN
FOR WAR WORK
INSTRUCTIONS for Drive Be
ing Prepared by Labor
Director

The war department has projected
an enormous program; apparently
reckless Of the fast that there is
not enough labor available to carry
1t out; IN reality relying on the will
OF the American people to drop
everything else and put 1t through,
At this moment this program is
seriously retarded for lack OF man
power in war industry,
II we can have shells enough in
France next year, we can blast a
path to Berlin, to the extent that we
fall behind in the supply of mater
ial we shall have to make up the
defecit from the living bodies OF our
young men. This is not rhetoric. It
is cold, precise. military calculation.
As soon as the facts are realized,
Americans are geing TO cease
carrying on business as usual" and
swarm into war work; making pos
sible that which now seems impos-
sible. ...
Drive For Men Soon.
The above are paragraphs from In
structions which will be sent out by
Lfndley H. Patten, state director Of
the United States employment SER
vice, to recruiting boards in the state
drive for more than 1900 men for
essential war industries. the eeHn-
mencement date Of which is soon 20
be announced.
North Dakota must do Its share
in supplying men, both skilled and
unskilled, for war industries" Mr..
Patten said today. There can be no
tagging behind when the success OF
the governments war program prob
ably is at stake"
Recruiting boards are being ape
pointed In all sections of the state
