Dig in on Hill 6O9.
Dispatches from the front said
American infantrymen on Hill 500
had dug themselves in so securely
there was little chance the Germans
would be able to pry them out.
A dispatch from Associated Press
Correspondent Harold " Boyle, de-
scribing the first bayonet fighting
by American troops in the current
! offensive, quoted staff officer as
saying that lit was a bloody en-
gagement, expensive to foot troops
on both Sides but what was left
Of the enemy withdrew"
! The officer said the German coun-
terattacks were welcomed by the
Allies because 1T enables us to kill
more Germans-and that's what we
are going to have to keep doing to
| finish this war;
Gen. Giraud made his prediction
as to the end of the campaign in
presenting diplomas to workers for
their war efforts. Asked what the
fighting was for, the general ans
wered:
IF I were an American. I would
say for the freedom of the world. As
modest Frenchman I say simply
that it is for the liberation Of France
and for the release of those French
men enslaved in Germany"

The reaction Of operators generally
was that their job was to mine coal
to keep the wheels of war factories
turning at top speed to provide the
armed forces with vital weapons and
they welcomed assurance of CO.
operation of the miners.
The miners. facing the prospect of
working for the United States Gov
eminent for the first time. smiled
their approval as they heard of the
truce and listened in their homes to
President Roosevelt's appeal to 20
back to work and cease obstructinp

Many previously had expressed
resentment that their patriotism
had been challenged because thev
had stood Loyalty behind Mr.. Lewis
in persistently fighting for a 50 a

Had Ignored Ultimatum.
They had remained steadfast in
insisting they would not 20 back
to work until the veteran UNIV
leader gave them the nod. They
ignored President Roosevelt's plea
early last week to stay on the Job
and his ultimatum to return by
10 am. Saturday.
Last night the miners, after
protracted week end that was so
quiet even the sheriff of Harlan
County, KY, scene of many bloody
mine disputes, commented on it,
laced the prospect of deciding
whether they would return to the
mines today and work for the
Government.
Even then there was no indica-
ton, with one exception. that they
would go back unless Mr.. Lewis
gave his approval The $50 mem
bers of the Gallitzin CPa.) local
voted unanimously to 60 back to
work today. but it was the only local
IN the country to take such action
and IL others in Pennsylvania bal
! lotlng on the same question voted
to await word from Mr.. Lewis.
No one ever will know what ac-
ton the miners might have taken
because Mr. Lewis dissolved the
dilemma and made personal deci-
sion by his followers unnecessary.
Wheels Set in Motion Quickly.
Pennsylvania. employing l17000

For some time now, every once in a while, there appears in the Outside press certain correspondents meanderings directed at Nome, which proves of no aid to the city and it's citizens, but rather throws a wrong slant on this community in the eyes of those in the States who have occasion. to read these sO-called correspon- dents offerings. =.
 The Nugget wishes to present two of these articles, which have a direct bearing on the civic status of the city, with the hope that such diatribes will in the future be omitted from the columns of the Outside press and be replaced by arti- cles more beneficial and more pertinent to the future of our city.
 The two articles on either side of these paragraphs are reprints of the ones in nues- ti0n and will prove self -explan- atory.
