Houth of tlie Clery-Muricourt road, n
few hundred yards from tho sugur
works bordering Mint road.
Shift reunions.
The French troops there, being
iiioro or less in tho air, fell hack on
.the village, nnd swinging their left
.wing tdiglitly, eantured another small
wood at the northenntcm end of the
HOLD ON
village clone to tho Hem brick field
and along tho edge of the, rond from
Clery to Hem and Ctirlu. This was
the only change in tho hituation
.throughout tho twenty-four hours
.during which tho counter-offensive
lasted.
At the beginning of the battle there
V were behind the front aligned to tho
French attack twenty-seven Oerman
battalions drawn from tho l'Jlst di
vision nnd from regiments of tho ov
enteenth urmy eorp".
Hwtcrvcw Arriving.
lletwccn July 1 and July .r the
(lermiiu commanderH sent up to the
J'eronnc front four reserve divisions
of which two already aro declared to
bo viitually out of cominis'Sei: The
other re-orve brought up from dif
ferent points between Hheims nnd
Mie Snmino wcx of a most hetero
geneous nature; Oao battalion of
tho guai d which was annihilated had
been formed of eompanioH from bev
eral different battalions.
The French officers say there can
be no doubt that the rapidity of Hie
French advance, if not the advance
itself, took the flermans by surprise.
This, they assert, is shown by their
not having provided tin ntioipinto
supply ot reserves for such a eon
tingeney.

HUGHES FAILS
IN SATISFYING
PROGRESSIVES
Candidate for Conservation of the
Pinchot Variety and for Equal
Suffrage, But Opposed to the Sea
men's Law and Rights of Labor
Believes In the Injunction.
Hv QILSON GARDNER.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-Candi-dnto
Charles E. Hughos did noffully
HittUfy the committee of progres
sives who called on him in New York
to discover his position on u number
of policies regarded by them as vital.
On this committee were Raymond
Robbins of Illinois, Chester Howell
of California nnd James II. Garfield
of Ohio.
The interviews wcro understood to
bo of a (piasi-eonfidentinl charaeter.
They were confidential to tho extent
Mint the men who called on Hughes
ngrced that they wcro seeking to
clear up doubts in their own minds
mid were not nocking to hceklo the
candidate or obtain from him stnte
menth for publication.
Conservation Satisfactory
On conservation the views of Mr.
Hughes were found to bo satisfac
tory. Hoth record and theory seem
ed to be in favor of the kind of con
servation advocated bv Gifford l'in
oliot. On woman suffrage the com
mittee encountered a surprise. Mr.
Hughes admitted that he was for
merly opposed to woman suffrage
and that his record would show this.
Ho said he hnd changed his mind.
Ilo hnd observed tho growing (de
mand hy the women for etmal partic
ipation in political affairs and felt
that n continual refusal by men to
admit women to such participation
might result in the organization of
women on sex lines. This would bo
denlorublc. Ho therefore would fa
vor L'rnntinir the vnfn to' u-mnm. I...
Mio most expeditious method pos
sible. This would, of course, bo tho
federal amendment plan urged by the
Congressional union.
Illghts of Iinlor
On the two other Mibiecls (he
Wii'mii's law and the fundamental
rights of labor Mr. 1 Indies did not
satisfy his callers. The Clayton act
was taken us a text for the discus
sion nnd Mr. Hughes was asked if
he agreed with the declaration in tlml
law that labor is not n commodity.
Mr. Hughes replied that such a de
claration was merely words; that no
law could alter thu fact that laborers
were miioiis and might conspire to
do evil things whereupon they would
come under the weight of the law.
He went on to express his disapproval
of the secondary boycott and his be
lief in the injunction, comparing the
injunction to the jurv systom a
good institution which might be
ubiised. His ideas ns to how tho
Clavton law should bo interpreted
seemed to his callers as those of the
lawyer rathor than the sociologist or
tut liiimauitarian.
The seaman's law was chos.cn as
one test of Hughes' opinion, because
that law involves the right of a man
under any cireumstancos to ipiit work
if the pay or other conditions aro nut
satisfaetorv.
Hughes' Personal Views
In his discussion of this, law Mr.
Hughes laid chief stress on the need
for an American merchant marine
and the possible desirability of a sub
sidy to help pay American sailors.
He hoemud to consider these nhiuo
more important than tho problem of
rsoiiul libertv involved in the time
honored nrnctiee of arresting anil
forcing the huilor to work aeainst his
will, Raymond Kohbiiib was not sat
isfied as to Hint lies' eeonoinin and
social views. Ho believes Hughe to
ho of that typo of mind which ac
cents laws and conditions as they are
in the hoJiuf that the Lord intended
the rich to be rich and tho noor to
be poor, and that nufferinir and in-
justice are part of the Divine doeree;
tnut property is sacred; that reform
ers are dreamer.; that agitation is
responsible ami revolt is criminal. In
other words, that Mr. Hughe is
wholly unenlightened on all matters
having to do with the groat fiindn
iuoiiImU of the euououiiu and feouinl
world.
1'rogrosi.ivos will watch Mr.
Hughes' letter of acceptance and
similar utterances for confirmation
or otherwise tif their present belieiV

FOR APPROPRIATION

The Bethlehem Steel Company's
Offer to Serve the United States
At a timo when tho expenses of the Government are ko enormous ''
Isn't it worth while finding out the aetual facts before plunging ahead into
an expendit ure of $11,000,000 of the people's money for a Government ar
mor plant? '
To clear up the whole situation, and to put it tin a basis ms fair and buiues-liko an wu
know how to express it, wu now make thin offer to thu Gevernment:
Tho Bethlehem Steel Company will manufacture armor plate for tho Gov
ernment of the United States at actual cost of operation plus such charges
for overhead expenses, interest and depreciation as tho Pedoral Trade Com
mission may fix. We will agree to this for such period as tho Government
may designate.
The House of Representatives voted, down n prooHl to empower the Podentl Trade
Commission to determine a fair nricu for armor, and allow private mauufHi'turun op
IMjrtuuity to moot that price before the Government built its dsut.
Isn't our proposition fair and ought it not to bo accepted?
The measure is now before the United States Soiute.
