o'clock this morning in the office OF
Llndley II. Patten. state director of
the employment service, the pTinci-
pal activities Of the board were re"
viewed and recommendations made
for the future conduct Of employ
ment offices in the state.
Careful consideration was given TO
the condition OF North Dakota coal
mines, and a special committee APP
pointed to examine the situation at
the state mines with a view towards
lettering the condition OF the men
employed, to the end that the men
enjoy sufficient air while working In
the mines and that the sanitation,
food and housing be improved.
The farm labor situation in the
state was discussed and recommen-
dations made for the. distribution OF
labor. A vote Of thanks was extend
ed by the board to the farm labor
reserve and the shocking troops for
the valuable services they rendered.
The board also recommended that
q separate women's department be
at, Grand Forks and at
Fargo, and that Mrs Mintie Bowe,
Fargo, be made director Of the
wOmen's department established in
Fargo. The removal Of the Fargo Of

cludes: Lindley H. Patton, chair

situation has been cared for.
The board also went on record as.
that employers in the
state give their employees off days,
IN order to permit them to go into
the harvest fields and assist with the
and threshing. This will
relieve the transient laborers, who
will be permitted to go into the out
ytng districts where their services
are especially needed.
An extension community labor bu-
-eau for the state was also discussed
and recommendation for it's estab-
ishment in connection with the en-

took such a prominent part in

noon.

dance became such a tremend-
ously successful affair.

Point 0fAttack
On the Channel
(By Associated Press.)

With the British Army in France,
Aug. 2O.-By withdrawing their
forces in the Merville sector Of the
Lys salient, the Germans definitely
have given up one Of the points from
which a drive for Calais logically
would be launched. This is taken to
indicate that the German high COM
mand has, at least for the time being,
abandoned hope of reaching the
coast and now, perhaps, is chiefly
concerned with getting the German
lines back to a place Of greater Sc
curity.
The withdrawal here has been ex-
pected for some time and 1t continued
last night and today, even on a
slightly broader front than that Of
yesterday. The retirement marked
the conclusion and failure Of the eff
fort which Germany launched early
in the spring, to finish off the Brit
ish army by driving through to the
