IN DESPERATE 5ATTEl.
The Overseas Forces Are Engaged al
Points Of Greatest Hun Effort
in Present Drive.

WASHINGTON June with the
American, troops aiding the French at
two points on the new battlefront,
there are indications that the war de-
partment has some advance knowl-
edge of the purpose, of General Foch,
supreme; commander, to put American
troops into the fight on the new lines.
1t is known that announcement Of
some important action Of the, Ameri-
can forces in this area. was foresh2d-
owed in yesterdays official advices.
The action at Neuilly in which the
Americans participated in thrusting
back the German advance, appears to
be ON the flank of a renewed German
effort to press westward. To the north
the Germans have progressed direct
ly west on the road from scissors to
Compiegne also: 1t is thought possible
that an effort is now being made to
encircle Villers Cotterets forest that
has so far proved a stumbling block
inNfe road of the great turning move
ment Ringing on scissors, which is IN
progress. -e.t...t5' ..a'.stsslF'
In that case the Americans are at a
point where desperate fighting is to be
expected and their dash and eager.
ness may well be of substantial aid
to the French. in stemming this new
thrust to cut off Paris from the battle
zones of Picardy and Flanders.
The official statement from the
French war Office definitely places for
the first time American forces stand
ing with the French and British in
the path of the new German rush.

Denison capitalists will be interest
ed to know that the Godberson Manu-
featuring company has purchased
land at Council, Bluffs. and is about
ready to begin construction of their
new factory. This company will man.
ufacture a corn husking machine,
which was invented by. Henry Godber-
son, of Charter Oak. = ..
Godberson with some of his back
ers, spent some time in Denison en-
ideavoring to interest local capitalists
in their project The matter came
before the Commercial club and a
committee was appointed to investi-
gate the machine and report as to the
prospect of its becoming success.
The committee reported quite favor
ably and the club even went so TAR
as to consider the purchasing of a
suitable site for the factory. When
GodbeEson was brought before the
county insane commission some few
months ago on the charge of insanity,
Denison people lost interest in his
machine and no further action was
taken. Vs.. -" -.

the Godberson Manufacturing company

The chief points of interest in the re-
port, however. are the disclosures of GER
tain terms in connection with the new
leases of ore lands that the trustees have
made since the report for 1916 was is
sued.' this house continues. The first Of
these is the statement OF the minimum
amount OF ore to be shipped in the year
1918 under the various leases. This
shows that the leases to the Hanna Ore
Mining Company require minimum
shipment for the year of 100000 tons
while the Jones G. Laughlin Steel Com
pany contract requires the same mini
mum shipment. This provision puts 4
more favorable light than generally un.
derstood on the Great Northern Iron Ore
situation. for II seems a good deal like an
assurance OF income. OF course, there
is every probability that the tonnage of
ore actually shipped will be much
greater than the agreed minimum as
long as the steel trade keeps active In
fact. in 1917 the minimum figures under
the old leases made prior to March. 1912,
were $500 tons, while the tonnage ac-
tually shipped under these leases was
3,+S5,916, or more than four times the
amount guaranteed 1t is in the last
page of the report. however. that we find
more significant paragraph tucked
away to the effect that in addition to the
royalties to be paid by NJ A. Hanna &
Co. and Jones & Laughln, they are to
pay to the Great Northern Iron Ore
properties all the cost OF the develop
ment which has been carried on by
Great Northern Iron Ore on the leased
properties, as well as taxes paid on
them" IL

Great Northern Ore.

One OF the best analysis Of the Great
Northern Iron Ore report. which was is
sued by leading Stock Exchange Arm.
emphasizes the value of the company's
ore leases. The report for the year
ended December 81, 1917, of the Great
Northern Iron Ore Properties" this re-
view says, contains certain points OF
special interest, The report OF the trus-
tees OF this concern has always been far
from model OF clarity and complete
ness but there is this year n material
improvement in this respect and the VOL
ume contains information on matters as
TO which owners of the certificates have
always before been kept In the dark. The
trustees received in the year s90,95S, and
paid out for salaries and general ex-
penses $10l.366; besides which they paid
in dividends on the 800. 600 of no pa
value certificates issued S22JOOOO. coll
lectng no revenue from the proprietary
companies to do it, but simply making
the payment out OF the undistributed re-
ceipt account, which at the end Of the
year still stood at S2,079,7I5. There is
no explanation in the report Of the policy
of not collecting earnings from the COM
panies owned, but wo may fairly infer
that this plan was in some way dictated
by desire to reduce the item OF undis-
| tributed earnings in order to avoid taxa
/ ton under the possible terms OF the new
revenue legislation"

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
The Selling.

Liquidation Of long stock by spec
tacular plunger supplied not little ex-
element in yesterdays market following
tho colorless sessions earlier In the week.
This operators selling was chiefly In
Steel, Of which he is reported to have
released 100000 shares. Such heavy
trading quite naturally found quick re-
Election in other parts of the list, and
those Issues which have been expe-
riencing rather a thin market lately were
the most vulnerable, while even standard
securities retreated with more or less
ease. The fact that this Steel was
pressing for sale did not create any
alarm, but It was tho signal for pool
managers to stand aside until the specu-
lative hurricane was over. for they knew
nothing could be accomplished until this
trader had completed his operations.
A number OF reasons were ascrlbed for
his releasing such largo blocks of stock.
but the most logical one was that there
had been some calling OF loans by banks
and that his brokers had asked for addi-
tional margin. The fact that this OPP
orator was practically the only big
calibre trader who was carrying extern
sive lines Of stock explains why there
was no other heavy selling, for aside
from floor traders operations this man &
selling furnished the bulk of the days
dealings.
Tho Buying.
After ths selling barrage lifted Wal
Street awoke to the fact that while II
had been SO closely observing the source
of the selling II had overlooked the fact
that over 100000 shares Of Steel common
had been taken within a one point radius
In other words. certain financial interest,
had been quietly absorbing all that wal
offered. and from the character OF tn,

As a matter OF fact. the operator re

reputation for being a better buyer thar

oumulate a line OF stock, but frequentl,
markets 1t in an amateurish fashion
In any case. the financial district wa!
satisfied that the rather severe declin,
was precipitated by this traders worl
and not by any reasons due to fear o
impending military events or serious do
nestle developments.

Rails Resist Drive.

There was no pressure on the rail-
road stocks. for while there was lit
tie demand for this class OF securities
neither was there any liquidation. This
seems to bear out the theory that the
drive against the industrials was purely
on the technical situation OF the market.
In Reading and some of the more ac-
tive rails declines occurred. but con-
sidering the extent of the losses in the
steel. tobacco, shipping equipments
and leather groups the transportation
stocks did exceedingly well. The fact
that 1t is a poor time to get bearish on
railroad securities on the eve of the
Settlement OF the contract controversy
doubtless had something to do with
the absence OF any urgent selling of
these issues.

high and the American gun fire a appearance was more rapid than dig Eifed. It was as they fell back that what one hopes may have been the last American attack on Sergy devel- cped, but the Guardcmen had aprar- ently been shaken by their last ex= pioit, and though in a few instances they stayed to faca the bayonet, the lighting was less desperate than it had been the day before
 Shortly after the recapture of Sergy American troops to the left of it, who had forced the passage of the Oureq the night before advanced up the mar row valley which divides the hill be- hind Fere from that behind Sergy, and succeeded, after a hand-to- hand fight, in which the bayonst and butt almost alone were used, in taking Maurey farm. which lies about q mile up the valley, This was q preliminary to the attack on Saringes since from the farm it is possible to oUtfiank the Seringes defenses and to approach them up less steep curve of the hill, which is some 500 feet high.
 The enemy held Seringes in great strength, and the village was also pro tected by machine gun nests on either side
 The attack was really an almost in credible affair for the coolness with which it was carried out and for the mere fact that it could be carried out under such conditions.
 It was a wonderful performance fo1 any troops, astounding for troops who have only so recently been blooded and was as fine as any test to which the American army has been put. since , the men went steadily up the slepes

PRISON LABOR.

When it comes to the matter or meeting the labor situation of the country at the present time, attention can we'll be directed. as it was at the annual session of the American In- stitute of Criminal Law and Crininol- ogy, to the utilization Of prisoners. It is a we'll known fact that 6 greater advantage is already taken in certain ia!ls and prisons of the labor which is there available, than in others. They are being used in peace which others might with reas- onahle security and good judgment be employed at under present conditions. That there would be substantial bit of relief given to the labor shortage cannot be questioned.
 It is therefore not surprising that this organization. which can be ex- rected to he 3oroughiy acquainted with all phases Of the matter. adopt ct resolution to the effect that the governors of ali states, judges of courts and other authorities be called upon to parole the inmates of the penal institutions wherever this is practicable for work on farms, in mines, on roads and in essential war industries.
 There is every reason to believe that such a plan would be welcomed by the prisoners themselves and it is not improbable that a large propor ton of the prisoners of the country would he found available for one or more forms of work suggested, that they would execute it well and make use of the opportunity to demonstrate their eagerIess 10 redeem themselves and do something for their country.
 The idea has really passed beyond the experimental stage and there ap- Fears to be no serious objection to 8 much more general adoption The country certainly needs all the work SITS that it can get.
