FORCE ATTACKS
GAIN HEIGHTS MEUSE
PARIS, Jan. 17.—After a severe
■bombardment the Germans attacked
in force near Bichescourt on the
south end of the Somme. After halt
a day's effort to gain the French po
sitions they were repulsed with
heavy slaughter. On the return to
their own lines the French commen
ced an intensive bombardment in
turn and heavily countered, driving
the Germans from their first posi
tions. There is still fighting in the
Biches court vicinity tonight. The
French are holding all their gains.
PARIS, Jan. 17.—While the Ger
mans inaugurated an unsuccessful
raid upon the French trenches on
the south end of the Somme line, the
French inaugurated a series ot
smashes upon the German Meuse po
sitions. This attack was evidently
not expected as the French advance
patrols easily gained the heights ot
the Meuse and the main attacking
force reached there to find their
comrades in possession. •The French
then withstood a series of smashes
against theif lines in an effort upon
the part of the Germans to regain
their lost ground.
The French withstood the attacks
well, holding the heights of the river
after bloody fighting.

ENGLISH COMPANY
GETS CONTRACT
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 17.—
There is very great indignation in
munition quarters that Hadfields
Limited, an English munition com
pany, should have won the United
States government contract of three
million dollars for making four and
sixteen inch projectiles for the Am
erican navy.
The Hadfields figures were about
25 per cent lower than any Amer
ican firm and more than fifty per
cent lower than almost all. Neverthe
less it is held here that this contract
should have been awarded to Am
erican firms, especially its being a
munition contract.
being made public.
LONDON, Jan. 17.—It is an
nounced that the British Imperial
Council meets here next week and
the Premiers of the colonies have
been summoned to discuss the
affairs of the empire. The Council
plans to give the colonies greater
voice in the management of affairs
because of the fact that they will
have to shoulder their share of the
debt contracted.
The conditions in Australia where
the strike of the coal miners spread
throughout the Commonwealth as a
vast agitation against conscription
and compelling the government to
yield to the laborites, are now said
to becoming rapidly normal. The
government is warned against at
tempted reprisals lest even worse
disturb the country.
It is announced here that the King
is favorable to the Prime Minister,
Lloyd George and the Premier says
that they must utilize all the forces
of the empire in men, money ana
munitions.
The financial magnates of the
i country openly fear that some sort
of financial conscription may be
authorized.
