denburg's southern front.
Won Hindenburg has undoubtedly
weakened his lines between Montdtdier
and Amiens for the purpose OF secur-
ing reserves to prevent his Soissons
and Rheims TANKS from being crush
ed in.
At the same time, the kaiser's gen.
eral staff Is now primarily concerned
with trying to get Its retreatng army
over the Aisne and In positions to De
fend the Chemin Des Danes. An oppor-
t,nity. therefore, unique since the
first battle of the Marne, has offered
itself to Marshal Foch to strike along
a new sector Of the western front,
wh,le elsewhere the Germans are in
retreat and on the defensive.
The area selected for the new Of
fensive offers the most promising prob
abilities of any along the west front.

Desperate counter attacks broke

fire. The allies are holding all the
positions they have gained and are
steadily pushing on. Heavy fighting
is going on along a wide front north
of the Vesle.
Additional bridging material is be-
ing rushed up and new crossings are
being established. The weather has
cleared, which is regarded as favor
able to the allies.
American airmen have found the
grave OF Lieutenant Quentin Rooso
velt. who was brought down in an
aerial battle back OF the German
lines before the counter offensive
started. The grave was marked with
a wooden cross. 1t was located at
the edge of Chamery wood (about
four miles east of Fere- En-Tarde-
nois).
The Americans late yesterday
reached the railway and main high
way north OF the Vesle. They cross
ed the river on footbridges impro-
vised from the trunks of fallen trees
lashed together.
The Yankees waded through the
marshes on the south bank and
charged up the high northern bank
in the face of heavy machine gun
and artillery fire. The Germans
counter attacked Immediately, but
were completely repulsed.
The advance yesterday was made
in the midst of heavy rain, but

TAYLOR SYSTEM |S OPPOSED BY
 GERMAN LABOR

STOCKHOLM. Aug. @S,- Efforts ol big employers of labor in Germany to prepare the way for q general adop- tion of the American Taylor system after the war already have provoked strong opposition in trade-union cir Cles. In industrial circles it is ar gued that the loss Of male workers due to the war will absolutely com pei German manufacturers, if they are to meet outside competition sue cessfully. to increase the individual production of their employees.
 The Metal Workers Union has re- gently caused an exhaustive study of this system to be made by delegates from seventeen different branches. These delegates have filed report strongly opposing the system, which they declare to be "a further step in the ruthless exploitation of labor They declare that it practically elimi- mates the lower.grade laborer, "who, however, also has n right to proper wage and who desires to maintain his family properly"
 Well-known civil engineers and tech niCians also have taken a stand against the Taylor system.

GERMAN GOLD.

Exile of the Sim Fein leaders who have been
arrested must be only temporary, says Sim
Fem reply to the official proclamation issued by
the British government and in which the Sim
Fein defantly announces that no matter how
many of its leaders are arrested there will be
others to take their places. The contingency
that such arrests might be made, it is stated
in dispatches from London, has been provided
for in the selection of substitutes for those most
likely to be arrested.
The London Times says it understands the
government will publish Immediately part of the
evidence against the Sim Feners arrested in
Ireland, and that its authority is unquestonable.
att is very necessary that this be done,' The
Times continues, eff only to dispel the clouds of
sensational rumor which gathered last week.
The arrests only the preliminary steps and
the government will be advised to disclose at the
earliest time the substance of the evidence on
which they are made, and to follow them up with
formal processes.
Unnecessary delay would be real misfor-
tune. Thousands of Irish dupes should know
Immediately by unquestionable proof that they
are unwilling instruments of movement sup
ported by German gold. 1t is natural to suppose
that men who find that they had been duped will
be eager to wipe out the stain on Irelands fair
name. The Empire will look with confidence to
the leaders of Irish opinion, political or other,
to show that they share this view of their OBJ
legations.

WILL NOT ABANDON RUSSIA.

The administration, it has been learned, in the
consideration of ways and means of assisting
Russia to shake off its German oppressors and
once again become potent aid to the allies, is
evolving scheme whereby supplies that are
available in Russia may be purchased there to
prevent them from falling into the hands of the
Germans.
These supplies include cotton and oil, both
badly needed by Germany. In this connection it
is said that the scheme of the government for
raising revenues amounting to between thirty
one and thirty-three billion dollars partly
through increased direct taxes, is being evolved
with these purchases in view.
Many schemes are being considered for aiding
Russia prominent among them being the resto-
ration of the railroads in Siberia, and it is ex-
pected that the American engineers, who, under
the Kerensky regime had this matter in hand,
will soon return to Russia, and offer their SER
vices to the government there.
Whatever program is decided upon it is GER
tain, according to State Department officials that
in accordance with the policy of President Will
son, the United States will not abandon Russia,
to the Germans, but that every effort will be
made to aid her in re-establishing herself on a
sound economic basis.
