IInited Press CORRESPONDENT.


With the Americans in the Cham
payne, July 18.-The Americans are
still advancing everywhere along a
25-mile front. AS this is cabled, at
4:20 o'clock this afternoon, American
Commander GiVray, reporting prog
ress to headquarters, wired:
MET Boche in his line Of re-
sistence. Sharp fighting. Boche
turned tail. ran like hell. Our
troops pursued. Hope to have
more prisoners"
West of Chateau Thierry the Amer
leans have captured the following
towns: Villers, held on Dammard
Courchamps, Licyolignon, Monthiers,
Torcy, Belleau, Giyray, St. Gengholps,
Hautesvens and-.other villages and
farms. :, = -ss..-..~-
At headquarters. all sectors are
asking permission to push further but
it is essential the line be held
straight. 1t is necessary to hold some
units waiting the arrival of adjoin-
ing units.
This is the greatest Boche pur-
suit the Americans ever had. Enor-
nous numbers of prisoners have been
taken, it. being impossible to esti-
mate the number. American air
planes co-operated. The surprise OF
the Boches is complete and the con-
centration for the attack was perfect.
Field guns and horses were carried
on trucks to the battle line.

Delegate Warns Against Labor
Entering Politics; Labor
Board Under Ban.

Virginia, Mimi, July 1S.-The
Minnesota Federation of Labor in it's
thirty-SiXth annual convention here
officially threw is hat into the polit-
ica1 ring with the passage OF a resO-
luton ordering the calling Of a con-
vention to be held in St. Paul on Aug.
"a for the organization of separate
Labor party, and the nomination Of
a complete state ticket. Both Gov
ernor A. A. Burnquist and Fred E..
Wheaton, Democratic gubernatorial
candidate, were declared inimical to
the cause of labor.
Though no official announcement
has been made, it is believed that
the caucus will mark a combination
Of labor with the Non-partisan lea
que. President S. S. Mcdonald of the
North Dakota Federation of Labor,
who spoke, told how we'll such a COM
bination had worked in his state
His speech was we'll received Ar
thur LeSeur, an official Of the league,
also addressed the delegates and met
cordial welcome.
Candidate in Doubt.
No further mention was made at
this mornings session of possible
gubernatorial candidate. TO date,
however, no one has appeared on the
political horizon as even a bare pos
sibility except former Mayor Victor
Power of Hibbing. His Endorsement
by Former Mayor Michael Boylan Of
Virginia was we'll received. Boylan
raped Burnquist as an autocrat.
Resolution Adopted
The resolution calling for the
adopted despite an unfavOrable re-
port by the resolutions committee to
whom it had been referred, after it
had first 1een presented to the entire
convention. The resolutions COM
mittee added two, recommendations,
providing labor should not attempt
to control the popular will in politics
but should nevertheless vote solidly
for the candidate whose platform was
for the best interests of labor. When
the matter was brought on the floor
however, the convention ordered the
two recommendations, which practi-
cally annulled the entire resolution,
voted out.
Warns of Politics.
A fight developed nevertheless, be-
fore the entire resolution was adopt
ed. Frank Golden of Minneapolis
asserted that entrance into politics
caused the downfall Of the Knights
Of Labor, the organization preceding
the American Federation of Labor.
His statements were disputed by
other delegates who asserted the
cause of the downfall was merely the
fact that unions all over the country
had gotten their hands into the fund
of the national organization and
wrecked it.
Cut Out State Board.
The convention also decided that
it would have no dealings in the flu
ture with the state labor BOARD, but
would bring all it's disputes up to
the national war board.

D0lICHNUTS WAKEN
THOUGHTS OF HOME
BY FRANK 7, TAYLOR

(t1nltod Press stair Correspondent.
With the American army in France,
June 16 (By Mail.)-He was one
Of those quiet, likeable sort Of chaps
who says little and does lot. He
never talked enough about himself
so that you could know him, yet you
liked him and trusted him because
you cou!dt help it.
He used to come in from the tren-
ches during the day and do anything
he could to be useful around the
Salvation Army hut run by the Nc
Intyre Sisters of Mount Vernon,
New York. He would stand watch
at night and come back to help the
girls in the daytime. They couldn't
persuade him to sleep.
He Disappears.
Then his company moved, and the
girls missed their chief~doughnut dip
per. They often inquired what had
happened to MIN. But no one knew
anything about him, and they heard
frCm him only through an occasional
brief note from the trenches a few
miles to the norm.
One morning Miss Irene was roll
ing dOughnut dough, and Miss Gladys
was dipping them in the boiling
grease, when the former chief dough-
nut dipper stumbled into the hut.
He looked tired and footsore, and he
was dusty.
Gee, it's good to see you,' he said
after the girls had given a drink and
fed him some doughnuts, which he
alto silently.
They waited for his story which he
did not begin.

Bemidji's potato flour plant is near

factory in the United States, it will
mean that Bemidji will have the Sec

The one now in operation is in
Idaho Falls, Idaho, and is a great
success, earning large returns on the
investment with demand heavy for It's
output. There are other plants US
ing potatoes throughout the potato
sections of the United States but are
starch factories and manufacturers
of other lines in which potatoes play
an important part.
It is not generally known that be-
fore the outbreak of the great war,
Germany had 400 potato flour plants
in operation and now has 2, 500, there

GERMANS ARE FALTERING.

London, July 18.-The fast dwind-
ling German efforts. originally
spread over a 5O-mile front, is now
concentrated on 20 miles, between
Virigny and Combligny. attempting
to advance toward Epernay and pinch
off Rheims salient, is tagging and the
advance is petering out hourly. Else
where it is fuctuating and local at
tacks are decreasing in power and in
tensity
East of Rheims, the FrancO-Ameri-
cans have completely stopped the
Germans south of the Marne. From
Chateau Thierry, eastward to the
junction with French and Americans,
they are holding like stone wall.
Thus far the Germans have failed
to attain any objectives they had
planned
There is Just the barest possibility
that instead Of using reserves in an
apparently fruitless effort to take
Epernay, the Germans will attempt
another gamble and attack the Brit
ish in the Somme and Ancre where
the Boche artillery is active, but Brit
ish artillery is alert and in the mean
time the allied reserves are growing.

are just as loyal as any group OF

have planted this year are glowing
indications of their loyalty. In fact,
all classes of people are playing the
game splendidly.

"The schools" he said, must be

spite of the war. The boys and girls
must be educated to take the place OF
