obtained from 131 establishments the
report said that employees generally
commended women as more thorough

Of work produced was less than that
of men the quality was frequently
better. Women were also ,ep"red
as mere regular in production and
6ld not show the tendency TO restrict
output which the report SAID was
sometimes characterized by mer..
Some employees reported that the in
creased demand for the services Of
women was tending to make them
more independent than formerly.
Women were generally described as
taking a more personal attitude to-
ward their work. which was reflect
ed on the one hand in greater sensa-
tiveness % criticism and on the 9th
er in increased loyalty.

(By the Associated Press)


The Entente Allied troops on the
Scissors Rheims salient continue to
gain ground, both on the western
side of the battle front and on the
south along the Marn. and toward
Rheims. Notwithstanding the increas-
ing resistance of the Germans and the
bad weather that is prevailing on the
southern part of the line. While the
latest gains recorded are not so great,
on the whole. as those of previous
days, they nevertheless have added
positions of strategic value to the
allied line for the further pros >cution
of the efforts to clear the territory of
prisoners, guns and wa. stores have
fallen into the hands OF the Ameri-
cans, French and British troops.
AS a diversion the French to the
northwest. midway between Scissors

against the German line which has
been productive of excellent results.
Striking on a front OF about four
miles, Gen. Foch's troops penetra. ed
the enemy lines for distance of
about two miles and gained the
heights dominating the valley of the
Avre River and the pains beyond
The official communication issued by
the French War Office refers to this
fighting as local operation.

Franco American forces toward

Their back the Germans IN both sides

railroad line between Armentieres
