SOME OFFER

Yesterday a tobacco raiser from
Brown county, Ohio, came to this city
in quest of men to go help him set
his tobacco crop. Asking several and
Offering all kinds of inducements, he
finally went the limit and offered the
union scale, $l5 per day-and he
didn't get single one His women
and children, he said, had worked un-
til they could go no longer, and as
the season" doesn't last all summer
he came here for reinforcements. This
is the highest price ever offered here
for this kind of work, and IT does seem
as if it should have been the meanf
of procuring sufficient help for this
farmer.

With the American Army in Pi-
cardy, June AS the result of the
two attempts by the Americans
against the enemy in the second bat
tie northwest of Chateau Thierry. 300
prisoners were captured and the
Americans extended their line over a
front of about six miles to a depth of
nearly 2la miles.
While the losses of the Americans
necessarily have been heavy, owing
to the nature of the fighting, the Ger
man dead is piled three deep in places.
A number of machine guns were
added to the American booty.
There has been no let lis in the Of
fensive of the American and French
troops against the Germans in the re-
gion northwest of Chateau Thierry,
where in the past two days severe de-
feats have been inflicted on the enemy.
and American marines have won great
praise for their valiant fighting.
Battling shoulder to shoulder over
a front of six miles from VinlI, which
lies Just to the northwest of Veuily
La Poterie, to Bouresches, the Amer
leans and French have captured the
towns of Veuilly La Portorie and
BOuresches and also made progress
all along the front. Previously Torcy
had fallen into the hands of the Amer
leans.
Nowhere on this battle line have the
Germans been able to stay the efforts
Of the Allied troops. although they
have fought with great tenacity.
The marines everywhere have de-
clined to take backward step, going
forward against the enemy, even when
he had superiority in numbers. Close
pressed the marines have given the
Germans a taste of cold steel, even in
the face of machine gun fire, sur
rounded they have fought their way
through the gray coated lines with
their bayonet From all accounts
there has been no part of the game of
modern warfare in which the men
from overseas have not eXcellcd the
enemy.
The losses to the enemy thus far
are declared to have been extremely
heavy and the terrain they have lost
is considered of high strategic value,
nasmuch as it is on that part of the
battle front through which the Ger
mans had hoped to crush their way
forward and attain an open road to
Paris.
The casualties of the enemy were
particularly severe during the street
fighting in Bouresches. where the
Americans pushed him back step by
step.
The plans of the American COM
mand did not include the capture of
Torcy, but when the Marines reached
the objective assigned to them their
ardor for battle could not be restrain
ed. and they kept on until the village
was in their hands Twenty-Five pf
the marines drove out two hundred
Germans from Txrcy.
Hard held on the other sectors from
Scissors to Chateau Thierry the Ger
mans. after very heavy bombardments
have essayed attacks on the Marne
front near Rheims. These attacks
were ill-starred. and the enemy had
to accept defeat. A French attack at
Bligny resulted In that village falling
into their hands In its entirety.
On the remainder of the battle
fronts, there is still slight activity.

encounters.
