TEACHER DROWNED
ORA ID. WRIGHT LOSES LIFE. IN
BELLE FOURCHE RIVER.

Lead, March 26.-Miss Ora b.
Wright, aged 23 years, a school
teacher at the school neal Jonesville,
Meade county, was drowned in the
Belle Fourche river at the mouth of
Alkali creek, about 9 o'clock last
Friday night. Miss Wright was be-
ing driven by Adolph Bender, a
rancher Of the Jonesville section, to
Underwood. where she intended to
spend Saturday and Sunday with her
father and brothers, ranchers of that
district.
At the mouth of Alkali creek, they
were obliged to ford the Belle
Fourche river, which was high and
filled with floating ice. They were
riding in a light rig, n of the
wheels of which was crushed by a
piece of floating ice, when they were
about half way across the stream.
Bender held to the reins and the
team dragged the rig and him safely
out of the river, but Miss Wright was
thrown out when the rig collapsed
and was swept down stream. Two
or three times Bender called to her,
while he was being dragged to the
opposite bank, and she replied. but
when he came to search for her,
after landing, she had disappeared.
After making a fruitless search, he
went to the nearest ranch house and
secured assistance. A party was or
ganized and the search continued,
but no trace of the young woman
could be found.
Wednesday afternoon, almost five
days after the accident Miss Wright's
body was found on a sandbar in the
Belle Fourche river. four miles be-
low the point where the collapse of
the rig occurred. The body was
brought to Sturgis, where funeral
services will be held.

THE Big OFFENSIVE
STORY OF THE BATTLE-BRIT.
ISH OUTNUMBERED 8 TO 1.

British Army Headquarters in
France, March 26.-The main thrust
on the British right flank by the
Germans Thursday morning was
south of st. Quentin and the enemy
used a division for every 1000 yards
of the front; there being approx.
mately one German division against
every British battalion. The pur-
pose of the attack here was to zap
ture Urvillers and Essigny-le-Grand
and thereby acquire high ground for
a further advance. 1t is now pos
sible to give more details of the early
stages of this and other fights.
On the extreme right of the Brit
ish army the enemy crossed the river
Disc at two places. One body of
troops came out of La Fere and
swung north, while another army
crossed at Moy and turned south to
form a junction with the La Fere
group. Throughout the day the bat
tie ragged in the lowlands about the
Disc.
AT Vendeuil, a group Of British
held out until A o'clock Friday after
noon. A little further north the
Germans stormed Urvillers and Es-
signy. Just west of st. Quentin, the
British were forced to fall back. but
throughout the day they chung to the
Holnon wood, a little northwest of
the city.
South of St. Quentin a number of
strong British redoubts made a gal
liant defense and it was nightfall be-
fore the last of them. with their ma
chine gunners, had been reduced.
The end of the first day found the
British behind the st. Quentin canal.
Friday morning the enemy re-
newed his assault with increasing
vigor and after desperate fighting in
the region of La Fere, succeeded in
getting across to the British side.
Further north the British also
withdrew from the Holnon wood.
The Germans then drove at Ham,
which had been cleared Of civilians,
and Saturday morning, after obtain
ing a crossing of the canal, drove
southwark into the British positions.
In the other main theater of op-
erations-between Arras and Ba-
paume-the Germans made their
first drive against the high ground
between the Cojel and Sensee rivers.
The German preliminary lombard
ment was terrific and their infantry
outnumbered the British s 10 / in
some cases.
Early, the Germans attacking
southwark into Bullecourt, the Brit
ish withdrew to a line covering
Vaulx-Vrancourt, Morchires and
acknowledgements. The hottest
and most disputed point was Mory,
which the Germans occupied Satur-
day.
During Friday the Germans over
ran st. Leger, Vaulx-Vrancourt and
Henin. One company of machine
gunners on Henin Hill held up the
German advance for a long time, do
ing deadly execution in the densely
formed ranks.
The Germans have been bringing
up artillery in the most able manner
behind their shock troops and have
been making full use of this arm as
the advance continued.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in the
closing hours of the Pan-American la
bor conference at Laredo, Texas, this
week, served formal warning that no
general reduction of wages nor in
crease in working hours after the war
would be accepted without bitter
fight by organized labor.
He issued a statement inspired by
a recent public utterance of William
II. Barr, president of the National
Founders Association, that reduc-
tion of wages and longer hours would
be the only means to enable American
manufacturers to continue to cope with
foreign industries after the war.

Gompers said, that the American peo-
