TIDE MAY BE TURNING

LONDON, April 30-In his report to the war office today, Field Mar shal Haig states that powerful Ger man attacks, which were launched against the French and British posi- tions near Ypres this morning, have been repulsed, with sanguinary losses the heaviest fighting having occurred between Meteren and Zeellebette, NldmadeiBe -enla .bETAOIN ETAOI where the British lines are being held securely. The attacking forces gained a foodthold at several points along the French line, only to be driven, out later in the day. The Belgians are also reported to have repulsed an attack, inflicting severe losses on the enemy. All of the Allied lines in the Ypres sector, Haig reports, are intact this afternoon, the Germans having been unable to advance single position.

AMIENS STILL SAFE

PARIS, April 3O.-Although the Germans are still engaged in their attempt to drive through to Amiens, they have been unable to make fur ther progress in that area In fact, at several points, the attacking forces have been compelled to assume the defensive, so frequent and vigorous hay the French and British counters become. The British are reported to have advanced their lines slightly east of Viller Bretonneaux, as the result of a successful night opera tion.
 There was heavy artillery fighting throughout the night north and south of the Avre river, in the Noyon sector and along the Disc. It was expected that the Germans would launch infantry attacks in those parts today, but nothing had developed up to noon, the enemy apparently being wholly occupied with the drive on Ypres.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-04-30

LONDON, April 30.-All reports received from the Northern front today indicate that the Allies have recovered their equilibrium in Fland- CTS and are now holding the Ger mans at a standstill, despite the re- doubled efforts which are being made by the enemy to advance their positions in the Ypres sector.
 The German armies are hurling themselves against the Allied wall of granite, on three sides of the de- stroyed city of Ypres, the objective being the capture of the town. But the resistance being offered by the Allies indicates that they have no intention of withdrawing from the point until they have exacted heavy toll from the attacking forces.
 The Germans are putting forth their best efforts in a frontal attack which is regarded as indicating that they have little confidence in their ability to reach the city from the south.

CORPORAL DRURY IS
 NOW A SERGEANT.

The many friends of Corporal Drury, who has been stationed in Nenana for the past several weeks, will be pleased to hear that he today received notice of his promotion to the rank of sergeant.
 Sergeant Drury has been of great aid to the registrants and drillers during his stay here, and tireless in his efforts to make "regulars" out of the "rookies," who all hope that his change in rank will not necessi- tate his being called away from Ne mana.
 The promotion was made through the commanding officer at Fort Gibbon, telegraphic advices being re- ceived from there today.

REGARDED AS VICTORY

LONDON, April 30.-Reports of the progress of the battle about Ypres serve to emphasize the com pleteness of the victory which the Allies won yesterday in withstanding the tremendous assaults launched by the Germans in a frantic effort to break into the hill positions, south west of Ypres, from which point they planned to begin cutting their way through the lowlands toward the coast. Thousands of German lives were sacrificed during the day, but without bringing success to the Ger mans, for the approaches to Mount Rogue, one of the most valuable hills held by the Allies in that sector, are still held strongly by French troops. The Germans employed 175,OOO troops during the day.

have advanced their line to Mute road, in the valley between Mt. Kem- mel and Mt. Scherpenberg.
 Attacks and counter attacks are occurring with hellish regularity on the hillsides and plains about Ypres, and the Germans appear to be suf- fering terrible execution in order to maintain their positions. Three British divisions repulsed at least ten attacks up to noon today. The Twentieth division alone broke up three desperate attacks between day light and ten o'clock and the number of successful repulses had been in creased to four by noon, the British being outnumbered at all times.

WORKERS DEMAND PLEDGE OF WAGE

National War Labor Board Trying tc Adjust Differences to Avert
 Trouble.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.- Whether or not the labor organiza- tions of the United States will con- sent to refrain from striking through out the country tomorrow, will de- pend upon the willingness of em- ployers to grant wage advances suffi- cient to satisfy their employers.
 The National War Labor board is meeting daily this week in an effort to avert the threatened suspension of industrial activities and has al ready secured a promise from the representatives of employers to abide by any settlement made by the board.
 Representatives of the workers declare that the only way in which strike can be averted is by giving the workers of the country the as- surance that their wages will be in- creased sufficiently to enable them to meet the increased cost of living. Living costs, they point out, have in- creased much more rapidly than wages during the past three years.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30. That the American soldiers in France are giving good account of themselves in action, is evidenced in dispatches received from Paris to- day, in which it is made known that 122 Yankees have been decorated with the war cross for bravery dur ing the recnt fighting in Apremont forest, where the Americans bore the brunt of the German attack at that point on April 12.
 When the boys lined up to re- ceive their decoration, spaces here and there, between the men, repre- sented the heroes who had been killed or wounded during the engage ment.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.- Thomas Mooney has issued an ap- peal to the labor organizations of the country, urging that the unions refrain from calling strikes in May on his account.

 In addition to this appeal, Mooney has wired to President Wilson, in- forming the executive that any strikes called on his account will be called without his sanction.

But we are not afraid that the Ger mans will break through that West ern front.

PRIMARY ELECTION
 PROCEEDING SLOWLY

Only passing interest is being manifested by the voters of Nenana in the priamry election, in progress today throughout Alaska. Indica- tions are that the local vote will not be heavy, owing largely to the ab- sence of prediction campaigning, and to the mistaken belief, among many voters, that the questions at issue safely can be decided at the election next November.
 The polls are located at the fire hall and will be open until seven o'clock this evening"

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30. The weekly summary which was issued yesterday by the war depart ment says that ''in addition to those already called to the colors and those now in training at the contonments, very large quotas will be required in the immediate future to fill gaps"
 This is regarded as indicating that the department anticipates heavy losses among the American troops now in action and about to take their places in the front lines.

KENNEL NOT A HELP

With the British Army, April 30. Thus far the capture of Kemmel Hill by the Germans has done them very little good, for the reason that the Allied artillery in the neighbor- hood has kept the crest of the hill so hot with shells that the Germans have been unable to occupy it in force or to establish their defenses there.
 The gunfire along the Ypres line is described as more violent than any previously recorded, at any period of the war.

Mines MAINTAINING
GOOD RESULTS IN Deep WORK

With the payment of its sixth
dividend on Thursday the Union
Consolidated mine closed the first
half year of it's dividend-paying his
tory. There was practically no ore
mined prior to November out of
which dividends were paid, and re-
turns from ore mined in April have
not been touched yet. The five
months extraction from November
to March, inclusive, amounted to
1854 tons of an estimated value Of
$26.56 per ton.
In addition to this there were
milled 1888 IONS of wedge rock of
an average value of 1925 per ton.
This made a total of about $2S0,000
gross returns realized by the COM
pany, out of which has been paid
$4,000 of old debts and 100000 in
dividends.

rent in Lincoln hall, the mems dor
mitory, from $40 to SO a month.
The room rent in the woman's DOR
mitory was increased from 81 to

Sunday morning and went out to

to look over the property with the
of starting operation of

the conditions prevailing in the
mines, it was decided
best not to try at this time to de-
velop the company's properties,
to the impossibility of get
ting proper mining equipment.
In a conference with the Sterling
interests, represented by w. d.

Charles r. Evans has set at rest
any speculation on the subject of
whether or not he will be a candi-
date for the democratic nomination
for congress-, to succeed E. E.
Roberts. He will be.
Mr.. Evans has been a factor, or
a prospective factor, in this race
for several weeks and his formal
announcement to the state COM
mittee of his party will dispose OF
any doubt that may have fingered
in the minds of the party leaders
or elsewhere.
Mr.. Evans has been a resident
Of the state for about fifteen
years. He came from Nebraska to
Tonopah in the early days of that
camp and later went to Manhattan.
He came to Goldfield about ten
years ago, but for the last two
years his principal business inter-
ests have been at Luning, in Min
eral county, with the Wall Street
Copper company, of which he is
the president. He is also inter-
ested in some other mining pro-
perties at Luning and was one of
the organizers of the new Suther-
land Divide company in the Divide
district and Is interested in leas-
ing operations On the Florence es-
tate in Goldfield.
The party managers here as we'll
as others who observe political
trend and activity predict that Mr..
Evans will be very strongly sup
ported from this part of the state.
