 In addition to the inf1iction of ex- tremely heavy casualties on the enc
 my, the French and American forces up to the present have taken more than 1000 prisoners, including two
 colonels with their chiefs of staff, and
 in excess of 360 cannon.
 The offensive on the entire western front in France seems now definitely | to have shifted from the hands of the
 Germans to those of the entente allies.
 East and west of Rheims, where the
 Germans last Monday started a bat | tie along a sixty-five mile front from Chateau Thierry to eastern Cham pagne, the enemy is now on the de- fensive on host of the sectors where there is any fighting. Friday saw the
 Germans lose additional ground along
 the Marne to the French and Italian troops. East of Rheims the Germans
 have not seen fit to resume the fight l ing.
 In the region southwest of Ypres the l British have carried out another suc-
 cessful incursion into the German lines, capturing the; village of Met eren, a point of strategic value for
 observation purposes. while further. south Australian troops gained ground. The two maneuvers cost the
 Germans nearly 400 men made pris-
 oner and the loss of a number of ma chine guns.
 The American armored cruiser San
 Diego has been sunk off the Long Is

 fectly. He said the machine respond
 ed to every call upon the various con- | trois.

 The gains of Friday were carried to their greatest depth in the center of the twenty five mile line and on the southern flank northwest of Chateau Thierry where the Americans are hold ing forth.
 The fighting was particularly vio- lent throughout the day around Sois- sons and in the region of Chaudun, where the Germans sent in large forces of reserves in an endeavor to push back the allied troops. Here the American artillery didaaetRbles work, killing or wounding many of the ene- my and aiding greatly in staying off the Germans

P).-A labor dispute which may lead to a serious situation has been begun in Coventry and other centers. says an announce ment issued by the ministry of muni-a tions today A large number of skilled intuition workers, it is stated, have. handed in notices which take effect next week.
 Cessation of work would lead to the stoppage of the production of some of the most vital and urgently needed appliances and munitions.
