To the Editor of The Graphic:
 We notice large billboard being erected at the corner of Main and Second avenue that we are told will be roll of honor, blazing forth the names of purchasers of $1 ,000 worth of War Savings Stamps. Why is this necessary? The $1 ,000 purchaser is simply doing his duty at the same time making "gilt edge investment , My idea of roll of honor should contain the names of the $5 purchas- CT and on up to "where it hurts.' The wage earner who buys his one or five stamps is also a patriot. In purchas- ing his stamp he is denying himself necessities of life. We are all in the same boat, all back of the government and the boys lover there' and at home. If roll of honor is necessary put them all on.

The "roll of honor' to be erected at Second and Main is in a sense a "roll of dishonor" While it will show who is backing the government by buying war stamps it also will show who is not supporting the nation and the boys over here
 The man who has failed to do his duty in the Jefferson county War Savings campaign in the man or woman who is fairly wealthy and who can easily invest $l O00 in govern ment securities who has failed or re- fused to do it. He or she is the slack CT the campaign committee is seek ing to arouse.
 The names of the men who can help and Will not are going to be conspicu- GUS by their absence on that roll They are the men who are reaping most and giving less.
 The $5 man came across in the ori- glnal campaign. The wage -earncr has done his duty, just as he always does his duty. He pays more to the gov ernment and gets less for it than any body. He pays higher taxes compara lively than the rich man. He goes to the army or his son gees and he sheds his blood to preserve the na~ ton.
 The roll of honor" will be a roll of dishonor for the man whose name sholud be on it but is not. The man who can and won't is the man we are seeking to identify as the slack CT

To Improve Mine Workers
Condition Aim of Bureau
The Mine Labor Question is Vital to
Development Of Ignite
Industry.

Fargo, N. D.. Aug. 21.-The beteer-
ment of conditions under which
North Dakota coal miners work and
live, was considered at the conference
In Fargo Tuesday of the state advic-
DRY committee of the federal labor
bureau, the conference being called
by Lindley H. Patten, state director.
That the mine labor question is
vital to the development of the Ignite
of the fuel problem in the northwest,
was the viewpoint accepted by the
committee, and because Of the i'm
portance Of the question, it was held
advisable to take immediate steps for
the handling of the labor problem on
a thorough going plan.
The creation of women's depart
ments in the sub federal employment
stations at Grand Forks. with Mrs.
Mintie Bowe in charge in Fargo, was
recommended. while permanent labor
offices for Grand Forks, Minot, Cakes,
Bismarck and Fargo. with state head
quarters in Fargo, were advised.
Recommendation that employers,
during the t%hreshing season, give a
full day off to their men so they can
go into the field as threshers, were
adopted, and will be directed to all
employers in the state.
Another important proposal relates
to the creation of a separate depart
ment for handling men for the rail-
roads. and a state office probably will
be established in Fargo in connection
with the state bureau.
Members Of the advisory committee
are: N. B. Black, ]. p. Hardy of

Today's War
Summary
(By The Associated Press)

French progress on the vital sector
between the Disc and Scissors bids
fair to bring about a cracking Of the
German defensive system from Ypres
to Rheims. Marshal Foch has on
nected up his Marine and Picardy sue
cesses with. a new triumph which ap-
pears to be a greater threat than
either Of the others.
In the new major operation between
the Aisne and the Disc the French
have gained the heights and are ad-
'vancing rapidly toward the Disc and
the supply lines connecting Laon and
other bases with the Noyon pocket.
In two days of local operations and
one given to a concerted attack Cen
eral Mangin has advanced more than
two and one-half miles on, a front Of
more than is miles. The Disc and the
railway line, paralleling it are but
three miles away and the French APP
parently hold all the important high
ground which had barred the way to
Noyon and the line of the Disc.
If Marshal Foch a push the adj
anc to the north Of the Disc. it
would appear to be inevitable that the
Germans should retire in Picardy,

Apparently the Germans realize the

the Germans are reported to have pre-
