and it has been predicted that a new
blow would fall on the German line
before they had time to reorganize
Vesle and the Aisne.
The Germans seem to have had
knowledge of the plans of the allied
commanders-in-chie for during the
last ten days they have carried out
three local retirements in the northern
sector of their lines. Two Of these
Withdrawals being in the Picardy sal
lent, one on each side of Albert, along
theAncre river, and the other along
the Avre river, north of Montdidier.
In both cases the enemy retired to
positions before which rivers offer
partial protection.
The fighting in Picardy recalls the
great offensive carried out by the Brit
ish and French in 1916, and the Ger
man strategic retreat" to the linden
burg line in February and March, 1917.
On Familiar Ground.
The field over which the British are
fighting today is familiar gorund to

force the enemy back from territory
newly occupied during the March
offensive.
Six miles to the eastward they will
come to the old battle-ground of Pi-
cardy. When the Germans withdrew
in February and March, 1917 they de-
stroyed every house and building in
the evacuated area. cut down every
tree and in the words of German mil

future operations" 1t is over this
battle field that the Germans again re-

Viewed on the map the front over
which the new attack is being made

lations to the German positions to the
north and south If the assault is sue
cessful the Germans to the north must
drop back over the ground they won
at an immense cost Of lives in March.
Indirectly an allied victory from
Montdidier northward would weaken

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-Loss Of

Corn and wheat are bumper crops
this year despite adverse weather con-

LABOR COUNCIL TO
Plan FOR LABOR
DAY CELEBRATION

Preparations for Labor Day will
probably be taken up at the meeting
of the Central Labor Council Thurs
day night. The labor situation in
Richmond will be discussed generally.
Some confusion is current as to the
Central Labor Council and the Fed
eral Labor union. The council con-
sists of three men from the various
represented in the council are Cigar
makers, BARRIERS. tailors, painters,
brick layers, carpenters, sheet metal
workers, teamsters, electricians, plum
bers, horseshoers and printers
The Federal Labor Union is a union
in itself which takes care of miscel-
laneous labor and crafts which do not
have enough members to start union
it fosters men until they are able
to form their own union. 1t sends
delegates to the council.
Many applications are being sent in
by women workers and much en-
thusiasm is being aroused for the
meeting of women Friday night. If
possible efforts will be made to hold
the meeting outside. II this can not
be done the meeting will be held in
Vaughn hall
There is mistaken idea that the
labor board recently established in
Richmond will help settle the disputes
between the employer and the EN-
ployee. Any trouble that may arise
between employers and employee will
be taken up by the Department of La.
Dor and recommendations sent in by
that board. II this can not help the
situation the matter will be laid be
fore the War Labor Board of which
William Taft and Frank Walch are
two of the members and whatever de-
cision is made by this board is final.
