1 Field Marshal llaig clinched his
hold last night on the ground won in
Friday's attack on the Flanders front
east of Ypres.'
Tho Germans made their inevitable
heavy counter-attacks, no less than
six of them, during the night, but all
without success. Not only did the
British maintain their positions, but
gained some additional ground ' on
their right wing near tho Ypros-Me-nn
road. '
Theso new gains are probably im
portant to the success of the British
general's plans, for it was In just this'
sector that the British had failed to
make all the progress expected of
them.
On the remainder of tho two-mile
front running north of Ypres all the
objectives were achieved In yester
day's assault and have since been
held.

British forces wero nblo to forgo
ahead.
Tho French have been making an
other forward thrust in the process of
driving a wedge into the German lines
in Belgium, the French forces have
been heavily engaged on their own
soil to the south near St. Qucntin.

thought additional legislation neces
sary. Senator J'oindexter said he
thought stale governments... ought to
use all their powers to suppress law
lessness by the I. V. W., but said
it was Hie duty ot the federal gov
ernment to intervene should the stale
governments not be nble to cope with
the situation, lie referred to peti
tions he had received from the Clear

ployes, in which the employes said
they did not want to strike, but were
threatened with violence by the 1. W.
W. if they declined to do so.
Senator I'oindcxler introduced u
bill establishing an eight-hour day
for all lumbering and wood-working
plants whose products find their
way into interslate commerce.
Senator Mollis said that while
state anil municipal nut horilies were
exjiccted to handle ordinary viola
tions of law by Hie I. W. W., tho fed

he uked senators to study the iues
tions carefully, so that, some legis
