Early in the week prospects looked
black on the Voronezh sector. Germans
apparently had caught Timoshenko's

Thursday the Russians had rallied and
undertaken a counteroffensive which at

some places the offensive, according to

Russian hands, with Germans trying to
hold what they have gained.
Another battle was in progress near

the advance appears to be blocked for

New Britain, November 6. - James E. Mccarthy, probation of- ficer of the Third District Juvenile Court, which includes this city, and head of the newly organized New Britain Coordinating Council. will soon give up his court position to become connected with the Litch- field Junior Republic.
 Although he had been connected with the states new juvenile court set up only since it was instituted less than a year ago, Mccarthy has become well known here, especially through his connection in recent months with the coordinating coun- ciI. At the request of Mayor Quigley he undertook the organization sev- erai months ago of a representa- tive group of prominent local citi- gems. with the purpose of giving this city moral uplift, ard this body de veloped into the coOrdinating council with numer ous subdivisions.

 Since McCarthy's new work will require his full-time presence at the boys school in Ltchfield and since his home is in Avon, 1t is expected here that he will probably have 10 give up his chairmanship of the council as well as his court work which took him throughout Har:- ford.

 Previously. the highest figure for any one month had been that of January, 1922, the first full month after our entry into the present war.
 During October, hundreds of men have applied daily at the Boston recruiting headquarters, 1065 Com- monwealth Avenue, and at each of the other 40 recruiting stations throughout New England. The rush has taxed examination facilities so heavily that some men have been forced to wait a day or more be- fore enlistment could be complet- ed, but all applicants are being handled in order.
 Two factors accounted largely for the enlistment rush. One was the

 Ernest Kanzler, director general for operations Of the WIPE, declared that laggard firms are not only jeopardizing their own operations, but are seriously hampering the war effort. The deadline for filing PRP applications was October 25, and

Washington Talks of Plan to
Import Mexicans for
Work in u. S.

1--WE seem to be just about where
we started" This statement by one
Glasgow man today after reviewing
almost two months efforts by grow
ers and civic groups to secure labor
for sugar beet fields expressed the
general opinion.
Growers were in two camps. Some
said they had already abandoned
some beet acreage and will utilize
it for ether crops. Others have
planted in the hope that last-min-
ute help may come. Some who
planted early are in need now of
labor to perform thinning. All APP
peared agreed on one aspect of the
critical situation, that japanese lab
or definitely will not be available.
Another Plan in Washington
Meanwhile, news stories from
Washington indicate a plan afoot
to import farm workers from Mex
leo. which is being pushed by
Charles M. Kearney. executive Sec
rotary Of the National BeetgrowerS
association. This will involve CO.
operation by the state department,

immediate problems in this plan,
although it MAJ help eventually.
Suggestion was made at Malta
that business men and clerks offer
their services in an effort to save
the Phillips county beet crop. 1t
came from Wayne Fjosee, employ
ment service manager. who said he
had certified the need for 200 beet
workers in the county more than
two months ago. Other employment
office managers in the beet are
have also certified the need for
workers.
Local growers who contacted Hat
Ter Gearheart of Chinook, Montana
manager of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company, said his opinion was that
a limited amount of labor will be
available, although he did not state
from where it was coming. one or
two growers in the county now have
