Mr. Taft said: "I am profoundly gratified that the conference appointed under th direc tion of Secretary Wilson has reached an acrrem.nt upon th plan for a Na tional labor board to maintain maxi mum production by settling obstructive controversies between employers and workers. "It Is certainly not too much to say tt was due lo the self-restraint, th tact and eam.at patriotic daalr of th rep resentatives of the employers and the workers to reach a conclusion.

The wheels of the war mill continued to turn slowly on Ih British battlefront today, although there are many Indications that tens speeding up may com at any moment. Just south of the Scarpe. near Ar ras, the enemy lata this morning began bombardment which might easily presage another assault on that- city. It Is written In the books thst such an attack will com., but up to the latest reports there haa been no Infantry ac tion. Karther south, on the BritlKh right, there wss hsrd local fighting about Mesleres and Iemuin. which was continuance of yesterday s struggle, but th most Important action seemed to be taking place on the French lert. where It waa reported the ermans were pursuing their furious attacks. Along th rest of the battlefront comparative Inactivity continued so far th nam of th I a Infantry fighting waa concerned. Ead la Net Discernible. This. then, waa th status of affairs on th lth dsy of th battle, and while no one can foresee whst the end of such vast operations will b. ther are many things to support the following Interpretation of the situation: For two days past tner has been a cessation along th major portion of th northern front of the bitter war- far waged at the outset, lndoubted ly this Is In accordance with the Ger man plans, for It was impossible ior the enemy to proceed further without pausing to bring forward his support ing artillery, reorganlxe his fighting forces and establish communications. These things now are being accom plished. The main factor affecting the operations Is th question of time. In this, as In any other oitensive, delay gives relatively greater advan tag to the defense than to the acgres sors. because th defense may be as sumed to have better communication For this reason the enemy must press his attack quickly. The crucial center, which in th opening of the battle was in the vicin Ity of Albert, whir the ermans hoped to use as a gateway to - a westwar advance, now appears to have dropped tothe xone below the Somme. aowtaeraj Pasa Vlgoroaa. This Is due to two reasons. In the Jrst plsce the resistance offered alon th northern front undoubtedly upset th schedule and plans of the Genua command. Finding their progress here too slow, the Germane turned, their at trotlon to the southern sector, where they had continued Ihelr successes. I the second plsce the entrance or tne French Into the battle al.no raised large problem for the enemy and gave the Germans a further reason for push ng hard below the Somme. in orde to divide the allied anniea if possible. Thd probabilities are that the tier mans will continue to exploit tliei successes on th south. The extensio of th front of attack probably is du to the terrain which is restricted by the marshy valleys of the Avre and th Somme. What the enemy's ultimate objectiv might be. If he should succeed in driv ing his wedge bnween the two armies, la a matter of speculation, but It is not unreasonable to assume that he would proceed northwest through Amiens and thence to the sea. On the extrem north the Germans probably will press their attack against Arras, for they not only desire possession of this city with Its railway facilities, but wish to broaden the salient they have driven in the British line.
