It has Leon the same with almost ev
ery unit. There has been a complete ro
jnvigoration. Thj New Zealanders, af
ter a marvelous advance at . the edge
of Bapaumo, refused to consider the pro
position that they be relieved. Before
this city actually was taken, the Austra
lians started toward Peronne with the
simple object of talcing that city on the
banks ofthe Somme. Thy plan suddotily
altered and they were ordered to swing
around to the left. The result of a freak
discussion partly subordinates thesu
facts until it is realized that the move

the Hiudenburg line, they probably will
seem quite capable of doing it, though
accompanying this spirit there is the
aution and knowledge of born experien
ce. Their practice, from platoons to
whole armies is to go over nothing that
they can go around.
Americans in Belgium
The Americana today advanced on tlso
Germans in th0 north. The Germans
felt their prepense in Belgium wh-on they
slipped across tl.u mud fiatg in Voorme
zele, capturing the town.
The task was comparatively easy for
our troops, although this is the first
fighting they have seen on his end of
the line. The resistance of the Germans
was similar to that shown around Mont
Kommel, their fighting being little more
than a rear-guard action with niuch:ne
guns left in outpost groups. There was
some fighting in the ruins which Is all
that now is left of tho Vroomezele of
the past. However, the Americans cross
ed 2000 yard's so quickly in the early
dawn that the outposts wore surprised
ana some were taken prisoners. The
German defenses wore less troublesome
than the muddy ground. The olo! tren
ches were filled with rank grass of
throe years' growth. Vroomezefo 'ad

Seen from across the river today,
Mont St. Quentin appeared tree-covered
and restful. There were 110 signs of
tho bri-of, but decisive struggle which
ended when it fell into the hands of the
Australians.
The ruiiif, of Peronne, however, sent
up clouds of dust and" smoke regularly,
the lvsult at the fire of British field
guns behind us. The Germans were re
plying only spasmodically. It was evi
dent tliut they had withdrawn or were
withdrawing their heavier artillery be
yond Peronne.
The iice from Amiens toward Peron
ne is a straight lino of twenty five
miles. It rcvvals that, the new method
of warfare has created a desert. From
Villers-Bretouneux the nearest point
which the Germans reached in their
drive for Amiens to the Somme at Pe
ronne, there is one continuoas stretch of
no man's land in the sense that no man
would want it. Fvw such dishearteing
scenes of the dreadful devastation of
war, it ig probable, can be found on the
earth's surface.
GERMANS COUNTER

(Continued from page one)
British Advance Steadily -
London, Sept. 2. The British have
occupied Neuve Kglise, field Marshal
Haig announced today.
The British have also captured Sailly-Saillisel.

perate fighting during the German ad
vance beyond Armentieres last spring.
It is leas than four miles north of Ar
mentieres, Sailly-Saillisel and Saillisel
are villages four miles east by south
of Bapaume and about the same dis
tance north of Peronne.)
"Sailly-Saillisel and Saillisel have

have drawn nearer to Le Transloy and
Moreuil, taking a number of prisoners-
.
"German positions south of Rien-court-les-Cagnicourt

London, Sept. 2 Astride the Arras-

The government proposes that where
labor is five from the responsibilities
and dangers of lighting service it shall
keep at its work. If it has grievances,
it can submit them tTMhe. federal war
labor board for adjustment.
In fairness to labor, it may be said
that the government regards niost of
the labor policy and action8 as fair and
patriotic. But for the clement that is
using the war for its own benefit, with
out realizing that this Is a "war of
emancipation." as President Wilson
terms it, government leaders have small
patience,
Against them the "work or fight"
policy will be strictly pursued.
