Shortly afterward the attack in the

the Second drew from the Germans

the whole German military machine
was going to pieces. In the ten days
fighting before the armistice they ad-

night it marched five miles straight
ahead into the enemy lines. At dawn
the Germans found the Americans be-

maneuver was repeated several times.
On the night before the armistice the
famed Second engineers threw
bridge across the Meuse under heavy
fire and the Fifth corps occupied a
bridgehead on the heights across the

when the armlstlce was ordered.

senate has passed a bill that repeats
the primary law and that measure is
now pending in the senate.
The measure repeating the primary
law in it's entirety may also be passed

London, Dec. 30.-Lord BuGkmaster,
formerly Lord Chancellor, declared in
the, House of Lords the other day that
the people of middle class in Great
Britain were being Slowly ground to
powder under present. conditions"
There is a large body OF people
whOmi he said for want Of a better
definition, will call the middle class,
the people engaged as civil servants,
doctors, lawyers, writer's, and school
masters, all the people who earn rel
atively small incomes, say from s 500
to $1,000 and who are the most
thrifty and the most self-sacrificing
class in the whole country.
They are people who stint them
selves sometimes OF almost the ncces-
sites of life in order that they may
give their sons a better chance at
school and at college; they are the
class which has recruited all our en-
est people all over the globe.
What is the result? Every time the
currency is inflated the hand OF the
State is put into their pockets, and
from their small, hard-won earnings
sums are taken away In order thnt
other people may have more.
These are the people who are being
slowly ground to powder under the
present conditions, and say 1t is the

ing point of the nation. II that class
