PARIS, Aug. 21. Yesterday's vic
tory of the French on the Verdun
front was welcomed by the French
people not only because after it the
Germuns no longer hold one of their
dearly bought conquests won since
the first onrush on the Verdun fort
ress in February, 1916', but ns proof
that the unity of action among the
entente nllies is nt work.
The British, Italian and French
fronts are nil active at the same
time, milking it possible that weak
ness mny develop somewhere along
the German and Austrian lines con
fronting them. The Figaro, however,
warns its readers against expecting
too much.
"Experience has shown," the Fi
garo says, "that it is vain to hope to
pierce a front which incessantly
closes after the breach has been
made. At Verdun, ns in Flanders,
the object is to strike tho enemy the
most powerful blow possible and then
to a wait an opportunity to strike
again. It is not tho territory rewon
that counts, hut the losses inflietcdi"

resenting nearly 2,"00,0(I0 workers
today, the British labor conference
decided to stand by its pltin of send
ing delegates to the international so
cialist conference at Stockholm. The
vote vyas attended by a turbulent
scene. Part of the delegates sang a
socialist song nnd others the patri
otic "Keep the Home Fires Burning."
Arthur Henderson, who resigned ns
a member of the British war coun
cil on account of the question nt is
sue, made a long defense of his ac
tion. The socialist element proposed
thnt all labor representatives should
be instructed to withdraw from the
government, but the suggestion did
not meet with sufficient support to
come to a vote. George N. Barnes,
who succeeded Mr. Henderson in the
cabinet, defended himself against nt
tnck and said he proposed to con
tinue to support the government in
what he believed would be a success

world. lie believed Germany has all
