In the Mereville sector the German forces have attacked in great mass formation and the positions now held at Mereville by the British forces have repulsed these heavy assaults seven times in some sections. The Germans in one of these rushes suc- ceeded in penetrating the British lines but after bloody hand to hand en- counter were again forced out and into the shelter of their own positions. The frightful carnarge raging about Mereville which $ now being taken part in, cannot be realized, it is just one mass of dead, crushed and mangl- ed bodies which were once men.

 This emmense slaughter of the best, of Germany's legions, is slowly be- coming noticeable in the slackenins pace and lack of fire in the charges of the foe.
 Of course the loss to the Allies is also large but they now. at least. have the satisfaction of knowing, that the enemy has used his greatest strength on what he considered the weakest point and has lost. From now on it is believed he will be compelled to slow ly but surely retire.

 President Wilson is surely trying to do justice to the workers and as Secretary of Labor says it is hardly probably that the Government will conscript labor with out conscripting the wealth and industries of the country also.
