They had visited the Americans on

Congressman DoweII said the most
cheering message he got on the

came from his home town, Des

wounded and had just been brought
in from the fighting zone. He said,
smilingly, to the congressman:
'eTell the folks at home that we

RED TRAIL NOW
GETTING BETTER
DEAL FROM Twin
ROAD GOOD

Discrimination heretofore practiced
by certain twin city interests against
the Red trail, according to Geo. N.
Remission of Bismarck, has, in a
measure, been done away with as a
result, in part at least, Of the in
sistent demands made by the North
Dakota Red trail interests.
The Red trail. from st. Paul to
the Yellowstone National park, by
way Of Fargo, Bismarck and Dickin-
son, was declared by Mr.. Remission
today as being unduestionably the
best automobile highway between
the twin cities and the park, and it
is getting greater proportion Of the
park tourist traffic this year than 1t
has for several seasons past.
From st. Paul to Miles City, the
Red trail has by far the best roads, -
said Mr.. Remission today
The only bad pieces Of road in
North Dakota were in Burletgh and
in Morton counties, and have been
eliminated. In Montana, the road
from a point three miles west Of
Glendive to Miles City has been put
into excellent condition, ana makes
one Of the finest sections OF the
highway. The road also has been
marked in good shape.
Minnesota is doing good work on
the road and keeping Ii up regular
ly, so that tourists are always as
sured Of good roads"
Mr.. Keniston, secretary Of the Bis
marck Commercial club, has been a
constant hacker of the Red trail, and
he has been spending some little
time along the highway investigating
conditions.

Great Shortage in Unskill-

y. S. Department
WILL APPORTION
. SUPPLY OF MEN
Government Takes Over
entire Job Of Recruiting
Workers
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. IA shortage
Of 100000 unskilled workers in war
industries is shown ia. incomplete
reports to the department Of ~labor's
federal employment service, which
today took over the recruiting Of
this class OF labor for war indus
tries employing maximum force OF
one hundred or more persons. Final
reports, it was announced, are ex-
pected to show a. shortage of one
million workers.
While they will be protected from
recruiting by other industries, rail-
roads and farms must obtain their
unskilled labor by other means than
through the federal employment SER
vice, the announcement said.
Recruiting Of unskilled labor was
taken over by the federal govern
ment as a war measure under an
agency of the department Of labor
designated as the United States
Employment Service. Shortages Of
sections Of the country are expect
ed to be alleviated by the plan put
into operation whereby non essen
tial industries, will be required to
contribute certain quotas OF labor
for the in ustries engaged in war
work.
Through the operation of the sys-
tenn of government recruiting it is
believed. unnecessary movements of
labor from. community to community
and from industry to industry will be
obviated and wages will be stabu-
lied.
The. employment service Of which
John 3. Densmore has been named
director. general, will work through
state boards which in turn will con-
troll labor through community
boards.
AS effective today government re-
cruiting will apply only to unskilled
labor. Regulations are being formu-
lated whereby it will be possible to
extend the system to the recruiting
Of skilled labor All private agencies
for the recruiting Of labor are pro-
hibited.
The understanding, cooperation
and good will of the American peo-
pie are called on to aid in making
the system success by Secretary
Wilson in a statement made public
today.

GERMANS RESIST
VERY sTUBBORNLY
Enemy Attack Against theb
Heights Near Bligny Is
Repulsed
(By Associated Press.)

American and French troops laave
begun a turning movement that, EEL
successful, will compel a Germant
retirement over a wide sector eastl
OF Fere en- -Tardenois at the centert
Of the Soissons- Rheims salient.
They have attacked over a 'front.'
Of more than three miles on EACH
side OF the village of Nesles, the
apex Of the allied wedge north OF !
the Ourcq! Their greatest advanced
was toward the east where the AM
ertcans pushed on some distancsA
distance from the town Of Sergy ana
approached Chamery.
Although the announced pur-
pose OF the attack was the straight-
ening out of the line between SER
inges and Cierges, this is really Sec
ondaFya to the outflanling of the
Germans to the southwark. The
enemy is holding strong positions at
Roncheres and st. Gemme, where
his line is still less than five miles
from the Marne and a continued
advance between NesIes and Cier-
ges woAd force him to fall back
TO escape being cut off from the rear.
This seems to be the only sector
where the allies are attacking with
their infantry. Reports from the,
front tell Of heavy artillery fire along
tAo Aost OF Lns line between EolB-
sons and Rheims.
The Germans attacked the allied
lines on the heights of Bligny SOUTH
west OF Rheims, Tuesday night, but
were repulsed.
The methods adopted by the Ger
mans since their retirement from ttA.
Marne began, are being followed bw
the enemy along the line of HARDEST
fighting. Machine gunners, for tha
most part, man the lines. This rnayi
indicate a. further retirement OF the,
Germans, for machine gunners have
borne the brunt Of the rear guard
fighting during the last two weeks.
Along the British front the Ger.
man artillery has been active. The
enemy's heavy guns have carried
out especially heavy bombardmentg
