What Has BeeD Doing In
The War

rtffpppf1Epffttktff 1hi{}k1kffS lkLttftt
There was nothing startling or
exceptional In the war news from
the time of our last report until
Saturday of last week-nor on that
date for that matter. While the
Germans had slowed up and the
Allied advance lessened, fortune
was still smiling on the Allied darms
and there was little consolation in
sight for the Huns.
Last Fridays papers made report
of still additional gains for the
French between Matz and the river
Oise, where the poilus had gone
forward in wooded and hi)iy re-
gion, taking positions which were
energetically defended by the Boches
and still capturing prisoners. The
report was made on Friday that
American troops were occupying
Vladivostock, Siberia, and would
join the other allies in aiding the
Czecho-Slovacks against the BolShe-
wiki, who are aiding the Germans
and attempting to use the many
German and Austrian prisoners that
are in Siberia. In Russia in Europe,
the allies on last Friday we're re-
ported to have advanced 100 miles
South of Archangel. The news Of
German defeat was proving to be of
benefit to the. allies in Russia and
tQ the further. .detriment Of the Bol-)
sheviki government, which had been
reported on its last legs, with Trotr
sky and I.enine fleeing from Mos.

AT the same date Canadian troops
had still further advanced in the
Picardy drive, the allied forces tax.
ING valuable high ground. In Flaf'
ders the latest German retirement
was on a front of over nine miles,
the British persuing the Huns over
a mile. Gen. Haig, in the Friday
publication, dated the day before,
placed the number of prisoners
taken in the Picardy drive at 80, ,344.
While the progress made by the
Allies on the Western front in
France and Flanders in the last
weekend was not rapid, it contin-
ued to be gratifying to all concern
ed except the Huns and their CO.
devils, the Austrians and Turks.
The French, under Gen. Foch
landed a sudden blow in a new Sec
tor between the Picardy and Sois-
sons-Rheims fronts. Enemy posi-
tions on a front of more that three
miles were carried by the French to
depth Of nearly a mile-and contin-
ued progress on both sides Of the
Avre river was reported.
Important gains were also made
by the British and Americans.
The whole report. made in Sunday
papers, covering the entire weekend
was highly gratifying to the Allies
so gratifying that another German
peace offer, said to have been made
by the majesties of Germany and
Austria, which included the evacua-
ton of Belgium was reported from

The weather has been intensely

There it is progressing slow enough.
We make $6.05 per day, but we get
no overtime or Sundays, hence are
not making the money we did when
we were in the other divisions.

have fallen off from $50 three or
four weeks ago to 800 to 325 at the

as the working men are concerned,
there is little room for such talk
There is not half the work turned

because the men do not work, but
because the high ups change shifts
