Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, April 23.-Gen. Per
shing's first report on the German as
sault upon the American and French
forces in the Toul sector Saturday Il
understood to indicate that the Ameri-
cans sustained more than 200 casual
ties, and to estimate the German
losses at between 300 and 400.
With the American Army in France,
April 23.-"Our troops were over
but fought to finish"
This was the official characterize
ton by a field commander Of the
American troops, who successfully re-
pulsed an enemy onslaught in the Toul
sector, in his report to headquarters.
Details of the engagement, which
the correspondent pieced together
who participated in the battle show
that the Americans stuck to their
guns while the Germans were placing
liquid fire. gas and almost every other
conceivable device Of frightfulness on
them.

going to be walkover. was indicated
by his feeble artillery fire Sunday and
Monday. Notwithstanding the driving
rain, however, the American artillery
continued active. The officers and
men were in fine spirit, even the
wounded laughing and joking.
. Events along the battle line in
France and Belgium seem to be shap-
ing themselves for resumption of the
great German offensive. Since the
savage attack on the American forces
at Seicheprey on Saturday there has
been no fighting of an extraordinary
nature along the front, but there have
been indications that the Teutons are
almost ready to resume the sledge
hammer blows they have been aiming
at the allied armies. Unless recent
operations have been feints, 1t is prob
able that the coming week will wit
ness two great turning movements by
the Germans. One probably will pivot
on the village Of Robecq. northwest of
Bethune. on the southern side Of the
salient driven into the allied lines back
of Armentieres. The other Is expected
to develop at or near Mesnil, north Of
Albert, on the north side Of the Somme
salient.
The Germans have attempted two
great frontal attacks on the defenses
Of Lens and Arras, but they have been
repulsed with terrible losses to the
attackers. These losses were inflicted
upon the enemy before he reached the
stronger allied positions in that sector
and since the second defeat at Festu-
bert and Givenchy the Germans have
not cared to take up the task of driv-
ing the Canadians from their positions
along Vimy ridge and on each end of
that great natural bulward before Ar

new ERA AS
RESULT Of WAR

How is the war issuing in a new
era, an era Of industrial peace based
upon industrial understanding, has
been strikingly illustrated by series
of conferences, held under the auspic-
es of the Information and Education
Service of the U. S. Department of
Labor, at which representatives of
workmen, both organized and unor-
gained, have met manufacturers from
all parts Of the country.
These conferences have shown con-
clusively that patriotism knows neither
wealth nor station. The factory hand
and the coal miner have shown spirit
of self-sacrifce not wit less inspir-
ing and on the other hand no more
inspiring, than that of the man who
has given up his business, built up by
the painstaking effort of a score of
years, to serve the Nation in olive
drab or by hard work in some highly
technical position, without a pretense
of compensation.
From this spirit of common sacri-
fee, and of mutual concession for the
common good, better understanding
| has grown up between employer and
employee that will, if maintained and
nurtured, build new world after the
war.
Such names as Hurley, Vanderlip,
and Schwab are as widely known in
America today as those Of Pershing
and Sims. War has converted all
America into a great communal en-
terprise, as the Department of Labor
conferences have brought out-the
| object of which enterprise is the ma
tons salvation from enemy destruc-
ton. To accomplish this end, all the
industries that make the war go on to
I successful finish must be conducted
with the greatest efficiency possible.
| Workmen and owners are doing their
share.
Efficiency in itself, in the sense of
careful management and economical
business practice, is not sufficient in
times like these A broader efficiency
is necessary, based on the spirit of
service to the Nation; an enthusiasm
animating worker and employer alike.
On the whole, as these gatherings
representative of labor and capital
have shown, this ideal has been realiz-
ed and maintained.

Releasing the Soldiers

If the soldiers now in the home can
tGnments were all discharged sudden
ly, it would of course create much in
dustrial disturbance. They will have
to be released rather gradually, as
they are needed and can find occupa-
ton.
The prospect now is that munition
work will slow down somewhat be-
fore long. That will set free good
many workers. But even then there
is likely to be still a shortage of la
Dor. 1t would seem that a large part
of the soldiers now in this country, if
not needed abroad, could soon be re-
absorbed into our industries, which
are now calling vainly for help.
Next spring great many soldiers
should be able to find farm work if
they would like it, and they should be
given chances to rent land on easy
terms. The quicker the soldiers can be
returned to industrial occupations, the
less serious the reconstruction prob
lem will be-
