Bapaume seemingly is slowly pock- eted by the British. Favreuil, a mile and a half to the northeast, has been taken by the British, who have passed beyond the village, while farther north Mory has been left behind by Field Marshal Haig.
 Progress on each side of the Somme river is officially reported from Lon don, and it Is said that the British are advancing toward Maricourt, four miles northeast of Bray.
 There has been great artillery ac- tivity from Rove to the Aisne river, according to the French official re- port, but there is no mention of new infantry attacks in this vital sector. German surprise attacks on the French lines in the Vosges sector have been repulsed, Paris says.
 As the battle stands today the British appear to be quite near the old Hindenburg line south of Arras, while they are making an attack di- rectly against it along the Scarpe river. If the attack launched this morning is successful it may have a determining effect on the course of the battle farther south, for a Ger man retreat over wide section might be forced. It also vii. affect the Flanders sector to the north, from which the Germans are said to be retiring.
 Heavy rain is falling over the battle area, it is reported. This will tend to slow down the movement of troops.
 Relentlessly the British are push- ing the Germans back to the linden burg line Fresh enemy troops thrown into the desperate battles along the 30 mile front have failed to stop the men of Field Marshal Haig's command.
 Bapaume is surrounded on three sides and the fall of this strategic road center apparently is close al i hand. On the north the British are reported to be near the Hindenburs | line at Bullecourt, the scene of san. | guinary combats in the spring o1 1917.

FOR
 INSURANCE OF ALL WORkINGHlEN
Organized Labor Takes Uf Proposition and Empha-
 sizes Needs.

New York, Jan. 17.-Organized la bor is giving a strong impetus to uni versal health insurance for wage earn CTS and prevention of sickness, as a need emphas sized by the war. The ad- yanced action recently taken by the federations in California, Wisconsin, New Jersey and New York is regarded as a positive indication of the grow ing conviction among the unions that hcaIth insurance must come soon in this country along the lines of similar protection afforded the workers in Europe.
 At the New York State Federation of Labor conference at Albany, Jan. 8, with 150 delegates in atenda-ce, a res clution was adopted without . dissent ing vote endorsing universal health in- surance and including this measure in the federation's immediate legislative program.
 Two dayE previously the Joint State Labor Legislative Board of New Jer- sey, composed of the organized labor bodies, including representatives of the railroad brotherhoods, re-aifirm- ed the Fe6eration's earlier approval of worgmen's health insurance a.d recommended that such legislation make adequate provisions for the ! needs and rights of the workers them selves. This resolution expressing la bor's attitude declared that ''the most careful consideration be giver
 to the rights of the worker to ade- quate medical care with free choice

MECHANICS OF WESTERN ROADS
 TO AID IN EAST

Washington, Jan. 1.-The railroad administration today was working out arrangements for the temporary trans fer of skilled railroad mechanics from the west to the east where at present there exists an acute shortage in com potent labor material. Machinists and car repair men, it was pointed out by the executives of eastern lines, are needed chiefly to restore to service numbers of locomotives and freight cars now out of commission
 Calls have been made on western and southern lines to furnish expert labor for work in eastern terminals and a survey to ascertain the number of men willing to make the change is already under way.
 Director General McAdoo has in- formed the house interstate commerce committee that he was not ready to appear today and the committee post ponel it's hearing until tomorrow when representatives of the New Or leans municipally owned belt road will testify.
