RENEWED LABOR
 EFFORTS URGED BY
 PRESIDENT WILSON
(Continued From Page One)

CContinued From Page One) sured now that no intrigues of the enemy can ever divide our unity by means of those industrial quarrels and class dissensions which he has tried so diligently to foment. In these days of trial and self-sacrifce the American workngman is bearing his share of the national burden mo- bfy. In the new world of peace and freedom, which America is fighting to establish, his place will be as honored and his service as gratefully es- teemed."
 The Presidents telegram to MT. Maisel said:
 ''The American Alliance for Labor and Democracy has my earnest hope for a successful convention that will give added strength to future activi- ties. Called into being to combat ignorance and misunderstanding, skill fully played upon by disloyal infiu- ences, your organization has done a | great and necessary work. It has aided materially in promoting the unity that proceeds from exact un- l derstanding and is today a valid and | important part of the great machinery l that co-ordinates the energies of America in the prosecution of a just and righteous war.
 ''The war can be lost in America as well as on the fields of France and i'll considered or unjustified in- 1 terrlIptions of the essential labor oi the country may make it impossible to win it. No controversy between capital and labor should be suffered to interrupt it until every instrument tality set up by the government fo1 it's amicable settlement has been em- ployed and it's intermediation heedet to the utmost; and the government has set up instrumentalities whony fair and adequate. And this duty to avoid such interruptions of indus. try wherever they can be avoided
 without the actual sacrifice of essen tial rights rests upon the employer
 as imperatively as upon the work
 man. No man can afford to dt
 justice at any time but at this timt
 justice is of the essence of nationa
 defense and contests for any sort O
 advantage that at other times woult
 be justified may not jeopardize tn
 very life of the nation.'

Paris, June 1.-The German drive between Montdidier and Noyon con- tinued unremittingly last night, says today's official report. On their left the French offered effective resistance. They recaptured the village of Mery.
 The principal German effort was di- rected against the center. Attacking with heavy forces, the enemy drove back the French as far as the region of the Aronde river, but by brilliant counter attack the French hurled back the enemy all along this front and re-established their line south of Belloy at St. Maur, south of Mar queglise and at Vandelicourt.
 On their right the French engaged in violent combats with large forces concentrated by the enemy, who was able to gain ground. The French withdrew their line to the west and south of Ribecourt.
 The statement follows:
 Late yesterday and in the night l the Germans continued to exert pres sure in the direction of Estrees St. | Denis and Ribecourt.
 "On our left our resistance was ef- fective. The Germans were able to capture neither Le Ployron nor Cour- celles. The village of Mery was re-

For the apple harvest last year We
