COUNTY TO HAVE -FOUR
FARM LABOR AGENCIES
BergstrOm Takes Steps to Provide
Local Ranchers With Needed
Help.

Employment offices to furnish
Thurston county farmers with labor
ers during the coming season will be
established by County Agent c. H.
Bergstrom at Olympia, Yelm, Roch-
ester and Tenino, he announced this
week.
Farmers in those neighborhoods
who need help are to apply to these
agencies and these in turn will for
ward the request direct to the state
central agency in Seattle. and 1t is
thought that in this way the labor
sugsly of the state will be so distrib-
uted that there will be no shortage.
The farm survey recently made by
Agent Bergstrom brought replies
from 613 farmers of the county, or
some more than half, and indicated
that 528 men will be needed for farm
work in this county this summer. OF
these 81 are wanted for the entire
summer mad 62 for the whole year,
while the others are needed for only
short periods.

LULL CONTINUES
IN GREAT BATTLE
FIRST RUSH OF GERMAN Of
FENSIVE STOPPED-NEW ON.
SLAUGHT IMPENDING.

AS the great battle on the plains
1 of Picardy in France enters its third
kweek, the comparative lull which has
prevailed for the past few days con-
tinues, but observers indicate in dis
patches from the front that re-
sumption of the battle inflated by the
strong German offensive two weeks
ago, is expected daily.
Reports from the American head
quarters say that the Germans are
concentrating large supplies of artil-
lery opposite the trenches held by
the Americans in the sector north of
Toul, while the national capital
learns, through dispatches to the
British war mission, that heavy
French reinforcements are being
brought up to the point on the west
ern front where the Germans appear
to have concentrated their strongest
efforts to break through.
Americans to Help.
Meanwhile the American soldiers,
numbering more than 100000, whom
General Pershing offered to the su-
preme commander, General Foch,
last week, are now reaching their sta
tions and in the next phase of the
battle will cooperate with veteran
British and French units.
The big guns of the opposing sides
in the sector between the Somme and
Disc rivers are daily engaging in
duels of great proportions and either
side may take the offensive at any
moment with their infantry. But
since the beginning Of the present
week there has been no marked
change in the battle line, though the
Allies have succeeded in recovering
some of the villages lost in the first
rush Of the German drive.
Military observers at the national
capital, noting that the battle of
Picardy has been brought to stand
still for the time being and the initial
momentum of the German drive over
come. are reported puzzled by the
fact that the Allies have not devel-
oped a great counter assault.
To Send Troops Faster.
Meanwhile, at the direct instruc-
tions of President Wilson, the move
ment of American troops to France
will be speeded up greatly over the
original program. and every means
taken to throw the full resources of
the United States into the conflict
this year. With this in view the war
department plans to put 1900 900
soldiers in France by next January.
To carry this forward, both Eng
land and France are to go on more
strict food ration basis in order to
release as many ships as possible for
use in transporting the American
forces
Measures to speed up the draft
program are also in preparation and
an announcement is expected soon.

I asked a German earby if that was the whole German aaxy. and he looked surprised and diti iot know l was kidding him. and said no Then l said. "So the English got all the rest, did they?" and he handed me one in the mouth with his bayonet hilt, so quit kidding him.
 We saw rows and rows of mines, and the German sailors pointed out what they said were H. NJ. SS. Lion and Nomad, but do not know wheth- CT they were the same ones that were in the Jutland battle or not. Finally we landed at Swinemunde just as the bells were ringing the old year out and the new year in. We were a fine bunch of blackbirds 10 hand the kaiser for a New Years present, believe me.
