 MESSAGE ID WILSON
SIR EDWARD CARSON REGRETS THAT PART OF IRELAND OP-
 POSES CONSCRIPTiON.
NEED TO MAKE APOLOGY
Message States That Address At Dub. lin House Against Conscription Does Not Represent Real Sen
 timent of the Country.

London. - An address to President Wilson, intended as reply to the message sent to him by the Dublin mansion house anticonscription eon- ference early in July has been pre- sented to the American embassy. The address is signed by Sir Edward Car son and head of the war aims com mittee and leader of the Irish Union ist party, the lord mayor of Belfast, the president of the Belfast Chamber or Commerce and the heads of the Va rious Ulster organizations.
 At time when all the free democ- racieS of the world have accepted the burden of conscription as the only all formative to the destruction of free in stitutions and international justice,' the address says, it is easily intelli- gible that those who maintain Ire lands right to solitary and privileged exemption from the same obligation should betray their consciousness that an apology is required to enable them to escape condemnation at the bar of civilized and especially American opinion"
 The address goes on to say it Is i'm portant that the president and the American people be assured that the document is very far from represent ing the unanimous opinion of Irisn- men. The minority in Ireland, com prising one-fourth 10 one-third of the population, it declares, dissents em- phatically from the views of John Dill lon. chairman of the Nationalist par ty, and his associates, and has keen sense of shame that their country has not submitted to equality of sacrifice
 The message ends with an express sion of regret that the Nationalists refuse to lay aside domestic disputes to put forth the full strength of the country against Germany.

DEFENSE IS STlFFENiN6 ALI ALONG BATTLE FRONT FROM
 NOY0N TO CHAUENES.

Paris. - The Germans are holding the Chaulnes-RoyeN Noyon line, but the allies are making progress south of Noyon. The enemy's reserves are coming into action and the defense is stiffening all along the battle front from Noyon to Chaulnes
 Desperate fighting is going on be- tween the British army of General Rawlinson and the German army of von Der Marwitz. The enemy IS counter-attaeking savagely west of Noyon and seems determined to hold the town at all costs.
 The number of prisoners taken so far in the allied offensive in Picardy is now estimated at 36,000 including more than 1000 officers. More than 800 guns have been captured, accord ing to the latest advices.
 The pivot of the German resistance at this stage of the battle, it now appears, is the town of Noyon about midway between Montdidier and Sois- son. The enemy is throwing in re- serves from this base in an effort to prevent, regardless of cost, the al. lies from gaining control of the Nov on-Ham road. which is choked with material, guns and troops.

ALLIES CAPTURE
 I7,OOO PRISONERS
BETWEEN POO AND 300 GUNS HAVE BEEN CAPTURED ON SOMME-
 ANCRE FRONT.

London.-An official communique i3- sued says that 17,000 prisoners and between 200 and 300 guns have been captured on the SommeAncre front.
 An unconfirmed report reaching Lon. don says the British troops are now ill Rosieres, the junction point of the north and south railroad line, midway between Montdidier and Albert.
 Most of the prisoners and guns cap tured by the British were taken in the narrow triangle between the Rove and Peronne roads. British tanks adyanc- ed with great rapidity up these roads, They were followed promptly by in fantry and thousands of Germans within the triangle found themselves well behind the British line when the attack reached them, so they laid down their arms.
 Chaulnes junction, which is most important from the point of view of transport, is now the objective upon which the eyes of the allies are fixed. It is already under constant artillery fire and it's fall would be embarrass- ing to the Germans over wide area.
 There was very heavy fighting around Simplify on the north bank of the Somme, where the Germans were trying to hold up the British advance by striking a determined blow at the succeed in holding all the ground they had gained in this district, but mean while the advance continues further southward and the situation around Ghaulnes is becoming more dubious for the Germans.
 Canadian troops have captured War villers, about 1-2 miles south of Ros- ieres, while the French have taken Arvillers, to the southwest of Waryil- lers and seven miles from Rove. The Germans recaptured Chapilly, north of the Somme, by strong counter-at- tack The Canadians have taken the town of Beaufort, 12 miles south west of Rosieres The Australians are fighting further north along the Somme.
 NHolhei lAipoi eaae iSSuiV VI 'h0 e" vance is that it has freed the Amiens- Paris railroad for use by the allies again This line heretofore has been within easy range of the German guns and the restriction thus placed on it's use had been a considerable handicap to allied communications. A similar freeing of the Paris-Verdun line was one of the first important re suits of the recent advance on the Marne.
