Secretary Baker An nounces Decision On Friday SAYS RULING SHOULD NOT STOP GAME Declares Purpose of Work or Fight Order is to Strengthen Military Forces and Not to Control Labor Situation Results Will Be Indirect But of Great Importance "Washington. July 2d.—Secretary Baker today decided that the tk or fight regulations will not .apply to baseball players until Sept. 1. The ruling means tint professional base ball players of draft age will have until Sept, i to find essential occu pations or go in Uie army. The base managers asked to make the time Oct l.'i. The time fixed .by the secre tary is five weeks short of the fin ish of the major league season. The secretary's decision pointed out that the baseball managers had been able to show only 227 placers who would be affected by the order. So as to give ample t me for read justment. Mr Baker said u would fix the. date at Sept 1. The winning of the war, lie emphasizes was the task before the country. Secretary Baker's order, In the form of a memorandum for the provost mar shal general, follows: "A petition has been filed for an ex tension of time within which profession al baseball players shall seek essential or productive employment, and the or- der asked is one which will extent un til Oct. 15. 191S. As grounds for this re- i quest it is alleged that theie are but 2.17 1 persons affected by the so-called work or light orders, but that in spite of this small number their taking would lead to the immediate breaking up of the entire game. "It Is further said that the notice Is too short to allow the leagues to adapt themselves to the ruling, and that the failure of the clubs to adapt themselves j to the ruling is due to the fact that the i secretary of war caused it to he known J through the newspapers that the clues- tion of the application of the order to baseball players would not be decided until an actual case arose. "A hearing has been held on this sub ject by the provost marshal general. J who teports to me that it is not clear j to him that the game will have to h-» I discontinued even if the order is made immediately applicable. The purpose of the work or fight or der. so far as the war department is J concerned, is to strengthen the military forces of the country and not to control the labor situation Incidentally it will undoubtedly have the effect of adding to the number of persons usually pm- ployed and decrease the number of per- sons usually unemployed. In this way the order will strengthen the military forces by making It less necessary to exempt for industrials reasons men who j would otherwise be taken into the mili tary service. This is an indirect result, but one of verv great importance, and if i exceptions are made or postponements are to be made in the enforcement of this order, it will require a very careful study to determine whether those ex ceptions ought *o be the persons in whose behalf this petition is filed or some other group out of the large num ber affected by the order, many of which have already complied with it and brought about a readjustment of the trades and occupations which they had previously followed. “I think it would be an unfortun- i ate thine to have so wholesome a j recreation ns baseball destroyed if it can be conducted by the use of per- sons not available for essential war service. Bur it would be a much j more unfortunate tiling to preserve1 (Continued on Page 5, Column 5) MAINE MAN NAMED IN CASUALTIES Washington.

Franco-American tr oops today forced back the Ger mans a bit further north. The greater part of the fighting is taking place in the big forests north of the Marne and along the main flank of the salient. The Germans with artillery and machine guns and strong infantry detachments left the northern edges of the Fere Tournelle and Ris forests and battled cleverly and stubborn- ly to hold the advancing allies until more progress could be j made in the transportation of their supplies, guns and stores. But despite the opposition some ground was gained. The woods tonight have almost been freed of Germans. The Fere-En-Tardenois road extending from the Fr^nt already is under such a fire from the artillery as to make it useless as a supply artery. With a further slight push forward by the al- I lied troops Fere-En-Tardenois will become untenable. Ville- 1 montoire has been restored to the allied line, and from it the allied artillery can easily reach the Germans near Fere-En- i Tardenois. Paris, July 26—(Havas Agency)—The latest news from the Aisne Marne battle front is considered by the afternoon newspapers to be particularly favorable. Entente allied pro gress, it is believed has not yet come to an end. Despite stub born resistance the Germans h ave been obliged to give up Oulchy Le Chateau and it is thought that the Teutons can not longer hold Fere-En-Tardenois. La Liberte says the German s must be considering a retreat tc the banks of the River Vesl e as fires and explosions are multiplying in the German lin es and the Teuton provisions and other stores are in flames. The Germans, the Newspaper adds, either must retreat or fa ee disaster.

Two Attacks on British Fail With the British Army in France. July 26—(By the Associated Press)— The Germans since last evening have attacked in considerable strength af two places along the British line but succeeded in accomplishing nothing at either. After several hours shelling a strong enemy party at 10.30 A. M launched an attack m the Fletr secto 1 in Flanders, apparently aiming at Metenr. from which he was driven a week age. He seems to have reached nowhere with this movement although the operation is continuing. Artillery Action Only South of Ourcq Tans. July 26—Only artillery acti vit>* prevailed south of the Ourcq River today, the Infantry of both si ties remaining in their trenches, ar- cording to tho French official comm unication issued this evening. Sov- cral additional advances have been made southwest of Rheims.

WAR SUMMARY (By Tbs Associated I’ress.) The ninth day of the allied offensive on the rioissons-Rheims salient saw a j lessening in the intensity of the battle 1 along the western side of the salien* where only mutual bombardments were in progress. Along the Marne river and southwest of Rheims the French. Amer ica^!. British and Italian troops were still at deadly grips with the enemy or. various sectors The. Germans strove hard in the fores* region north of the Marne to hold bade the French and American troops de- i bouching from the woods in strong counter attacks. The enemy, however, i was lorced further back to the nortn and the forests now have been almost entirely cleared of Germans Southwest of Rheims heavy reinforce ments evidently have been thrown along the front where the British. French and Italians are fighting. In the immediate region of Reuil. where the battle line turns sharply toward Rheims. tho French have captured several important points of vantage, including the village of Reuil. and also advanced their lin? northward notwithstanding the violence of the German counter move.

SPECULATION OVER MEANING OF BATTLE LULL Foch May Not Be Pre pared To Strike Now POSSIBILITY OF NOT ENOUGH AMERICANS Fourth Anniversary of War May See Tremendous Battle Open From East of Rheims to North Sea—No Hint of Foch's Plans Washington. July 28— Behind the apparent lull in the struggle around the Marne salient today the high command of the German armies may he setting the stage for ,h» decisive battle of the war. In that event it seems more than likely to observe) s here that the fourth anniversary of the beginning of the world conflict will see a flame of fighting raging from east of Rheims to the North Sea. There is nothing as yet in un official reports, however, nor In offi cial advices so far as known, to show the plan of Gen. Foch. Flickers of fighting have occurred to the north that may have more than local sig nificance behind them. There is some evidence of a feeling here that the time has not yet come when a sufficient American army has been assembled in France to warrant passing definitely to offensive tac tics. Yesterday the advance of the Brit ish northward from the region of Rheims aroused hope among offi cials that the allied forces might be able to spring the trap. The lull today, howe'er, seemed to indicate that Gen. Foch was not prepared at this time to press his advantage to his full power in that direction. But if he is confident that ho now has the men and the reserves at hand to warrant challenging the enemy to fight it out to a finish they expect to see new and tremendous battles break out on both sides of the sal ient south of Soissons and of Rheims. The lull today might cov er the shifting of allied reserves for development of the successes al ready won. On the other hand it was pointed out that should Gen. Foch feel that he should still wait the coming of more American troops to give a decided preponder ance in numbers, he would continue to harry the retiring enemy flank and front, exploiting his present vie.

Will Not Alter U. S. Course Washington, July 26.—News that an official announcement had been made in London that Japan had de cided to accept the proposal of the United States to give military assist ance to the Czecho-Slovak army in Siberia did not alter the course of t;.a government in still making no statement on the status of the nego tiations. On the other hand, variously pub lished accounts of the negotiations were denounced as speculative and as possibly giving information to the enemy. President Wilson's statement mak ing formal announcement on the suo ject has been drafted, but will not be issued until all the details have been closed up. The problem involved an arrang ing an international entente regard ing Siberia and Russia is complex. The American proposal to which the Japanese not recently received here was a reply, was of such a nature that it was not possible to render a j catagorical response. Therefore the Japanese government was under the necessity of seeking further informa tion in respect to certain points. This now is being imparted, but some time is required for the necessary consultations among the hy) (Continwttf on

What It Is That Harts the Hands on Washday So many women hurt their hands on washday because the skin is constant ly in contact with a hard rubbing board after being softened and chap ped by steaming hot water. Almost invariably it is nibbing and boiling that injures the ‘kin—not the soap, as some women think. But you ran always be sure of your toap, and avoid boiling water and hard rubbing at the same time, when you use Fels-Naptha. Fell-Naptha does not irritate the hands or skm, and it eliminates the cause of most washday chafing by producing splendid results in cool or lukewarm water. If you would prevent injury to the hands, try the rels-Najitha way next washday. 1 you Car; v: thick of any h tap er'■ nrivrrrnr.'.c theordi r.ar> Lid si kr.« that ready ever; hod; 1 v o. ea lior.’.!i; than by i;-:; g a ftr; re t ;>rc-r jirrpara tion of mrdi nrs that c hr -!v he--?

The members of the Augusta Rotary club and the Augusta Cadet Rand took part in the demonstration. The young men in the contingent assembled promptly at 8 o’clock at the room of the local board at the Federal building where they received final instructions from Chairman Plaisted and were given the tibbon badges on which were printed the State seal and the name and number of the divis ion.

All of these show the re sults of painstaking attention on the parts of the respective gardeners, all of whom have done the work in them themselves, and. when it is considered that they have most of their time occupied with other pur suits, each and every one of them deserves much credit for tlie neat ness and promise of their gardens. We have faded to mention one oth er (an tminent shoe dealer of Au gusta) and take this opportunity tj say that his ardent patriotism has inspired him to raise—not garden truck—but he seems 10 have special ized on mustard.

C. Atkins, in his official capac ity as jirdge of the municipal court, was a busv man Friday morning, as lie had three cases before him on which to render just and wise deci sion?.* The first was the case of Charles Ward of Randolph who was ar» I raigncd on charge of I-fumane Offi rer U. H. Willis. He was found guilty of selling a diseased, debili tated and generalllv run down horse which was unable to work without such an effort as to put the case down as a v iolation of the state law regarding such cases. Ward was adjudged guilty and fined ?.j and costs, which he paid. The second concerned a pig, sacri ficed in his early pighood without due regard to the wishes of Mr, H. Hoover, who decries -he killing of such young porkers. The case was very peculiar. A man giving the name of Charles Scribner and who later in the hearing became Henry Johnson, by which name he was wanted by the officials of the State l Asylum for the Insane, was ar raigned charged with stealing and killing a two months old pig from j .Joseph Whitmore of l.itchfield. He I lmd been on the stand but a very short time before Judge Atkins be fore lie admitted that lie had been .in inmate of the asylum. A tele phonic messsage to that institution brought out t lie fact that the man uas wanted and within an hour some of the attendants came down ami took him. back. For the past f* days Johnson had been in l.itchfield and had stolen the pig. cut off the head with a buck saw and cooked and eaten the large. portion of the carcass. Despite all tills he war Iningrj and ate all tne sandwiches that deputy sheriff Kob 1 ms.m would supply. The third case, like the first was boss'' ease Alvin M. Hare of l.itchfield was arraigned on the •'barge of selling a mortgaged dorse to William Allard. He was represented by .Hon. O. B. Clason and lion (b W. Heselton looked aft er the interests of Mr. Allard. The ea.-c had several peculiar incidents, the first being the fact that the charge was made and the mort gage named in the charge was made after the horse had been sold. This necessitated the issuance of another warrant, taking the mortgage first Kivon as a basis. Hare acknowledged that he sold the horse to Allard with a mort gage on it, stating that he had for gotten this fact at the time. He further said that ho conside-ed the mortgage paid as he had paid a considerable above the amount of 'the mortgage. Questioned as re garded the second mortgage he said that he had received no money on that but. had given it because Nev ens, the man who hel l the mort gage first given and never recorded, said that it was necessary. He said hat .'evens promised to send him the first papers but hail never done William Allard. the man who bought the horse from Hare, was ap parent iv a double dupe, having bought the horse as free and clear ami then having paid SUM to .Sevens, the amount of both mortgages, the last being given by Haro after the horse was the property of Allard. Taken all together the ease was considerably mixed ti- The attor noj s and judge held a somewhat engthv diagnosis of the case, which was more o>- less Greek to the lay men presort. The outcome of the caso was that his honor held Hare m the .-.iim of SL'nO ot, hj,s oun cos. ■usance for his appearance at the September term of the Superior Court.

i the bonus would continue until the i men were informed of Hie discon I tinuation. It was also held that the .shortening of the work day from nine to eight, hours was not to per mit any reduction in wages. i __ News Received With Cheers at Glen Falls, N. V. Glens Kails, .Tulv L’ii—The news that the war labor board had de cided that, mill owners were morally hound to pay the bonuses for May 'and June and that the shortening of the working day from nine to i eight hours cannot permit any re i duction in wages was received with j cheers by members ol tlie paper i makers' union and of the Interna* tional brotherhood of sulphite, pulp and paper mill workers. It Is claimed that the mills have forced men in the finishing room and oth er departments to work for less money under the new ruling than they received under the old system, gefore the war labor board granted ten cents an hour increase in wages anti reduced the working day from nine to eight hours. The men de clared that there are still a number of minor grievances which must bn threshed out by their committess which are to meet tomorrow in Al 1 bany but they belive the trouble will be adjusted in time to allow the mills again to operate under full early next week. American Mineral Waters. Before the war Americans trav eled far abroad to see Alpine peaks, though here in our own country there are mountains and canyons and falls that surpass in grandeur even those of Switzerland; so also they imported great quantities of miner il waters regardless of the fact that the United States is sur passed by few countries in (he num ber and the variety of .ts mineral springs. Chemical experts of the United States Geological Survey. Department of the Interior, say that after American springs have been more fully investigated and exploit ed an provided with better accom modations for hydro-therapeutic treatment they can furnish counter parts of nearly all the famous spring resorts in Kurope. There is also a satisfactory assurance that if min eral waters are a war-time neces sity in convalescent hospitals they can be supplied from American springs, so that the imports may be completely shut off without depriva tion to patients in this country.

Eastward from Rheims in "'hampngne the French have now regained nearly all of their old line posts and repulsing the Germans with counter attacks. The fighting down along the western side of the Rheims Soissons salient the villages of Oulehy le Chateau and Villemontoire were rap tured by French and American troops who advanced their lines eastward of Oulehy. The fall of Ouichy gives the allied forces the key to the heights dominating Fere en Tnrdenois, which lies only a -hort distance to the east. At Ouichy to guns and hundreds of prisoners were captured by the Amer ican and French troops. Big allied guns have been pulled up in this region and are heavily shelling the sector before the move which it is purposed to push forward for the capture of Fere en Tardenois when the time is ripe. Mean time allied big guns over the entire sa lient continue to throw shells from all angles into the German forces inside the big bag. While there has been no attempt by the Germans at a general retreat from the salient, the belief pre vails along the battle front that an in dication a retreat is purposed is shown by the fact that the enemy is using comparatively small forces of infantry on various sectors, depending mainly on his machine gunners to retard the progress of the Allies.

HOW TO AVOID LIGHTNING Some of the Safest Places in Time of Electrical Storms—One of Them Is An Iron or Brass Bed. The fear of h«fng struck by light ning Is both a vefy real and a very .sensible one. But lightning can be avoided like all other evils. It will strike in certain places and it will not strike in other places. There are rea sons for Its behavior in both rases, for nature never operates by chance. A steam engine or a railroad coach ir as safe as any place In the world as far as lightning is concerned. No one has ever been struck by light ning while he was aboard a train. The business part of a city likewise is never struck by lightning. Neither are tall skyscrapers ever hit. It Is a matter of record that insurance com panies never have any losses from lightning striking any building with metallic sides and framework of Iron Find steel. A steel battleship Is also safe from the bolt from the clouds, as is a steel windmill tower. This i« because every one of these objects is its own lightning rod and needs no further protection than they can jive them selves. There is another list of things thftt lightning will 3ure stiike. It will strike a country house or a house in the outskirts of a town. It likes to hit a barn, church, schoolhouse, tree, stack or animal, especially if It Is near a wire fence. As for a house, the safest place In a lightning storm is vour iron or brass bed. It is very dangerous to stand near the bed, because you are taller than the bed. The reason why you are safe when lying on it is that the bed head and foot extend ahove your head. The current will not leave the bed to pass through your body. The walls and the floor of the room may he ripped to pieces, but j you will he safe as long as you lie still in your bed. Feather beds offer no protection whatever from lightning unless they j be on a metal bed.—Philadelphia In- quirer. Toney to Join Giants Cincinnati.

IN THE WAKE OF GERMANY’S'RETREATI NO ARMIES NAUGHT REMAINS OF INDUSTRIES BUT TANGLED IROtt.ANP HEAPS OF BRICKi BY FRANCIS H. SISSON Vico President Guaranty Trust Com pany of New York America may well look to Franco for example and Inspiration in pre paring to develop her foreign trade after the war. In all history there is no people whose rising to meet a seemingly overwhelming assault upon everything they consider worth while has had such power over the emotions of mankind. Now, with characteristic adjust ability, the French are transforming emergency into opportunity. In nil tln-ir preparations for reconstruction when peace comes they are apply ing the principles that have been at the foundation of their efficiency in the war. France sees clearly the double nature of her problem. She must restore the country itself and must reestablish its relationship with oth er countries. In doing this she looks to the I'nited States for help. She proposes to purchase in this country vast supplies of raw material, building supplies and machinery, which she cannot get from her col onies or from other nations engaged, like herself, in the work of rehabil itation. She proposes to pay for these things and to-ineet the debts she now owes by selling to this country not only increased quantity of tlio.se things in the manufacture of which she excels, but also those things for which in the past this country has looked to Germany. She refuses to consider resuming BANK OF FRANCE. FINANCIAL. CENTRE OF THE REPUBLIC purchases of raw materials in Germ- any. The Republican Committee of Commerce, Industry and Agricul- ture, which was founded in 11)14 tin- dcr the auspices of the Ministry of j Commerce, has lieen surveying the possibilities of tl.o French colonies and of friendly countries where pro ducts formerly imported from Germany are to be obtained. In preparation t meet German j commercial competition after the i war the French are trying now through tlie medium of great fairs, like those at I-yons, to acquaint all tlie world with the excellence of their i wares, and also to learn from the ex hibits of others where French ini porters may' look for their require- ments. The French war debt at tlie close; j of this year probably will he neatly' $-4,000,000,000, or about four times what it was before the war. For sev eral years France lias been a lend- i ed to Russia, and the. present state of that country has postponed the i payment of this debt. France has certain elements of' slrength, however, upon which she is j relying to restore her former pros perity. She lias a splendid climate, a j rich soil and an industrious and I thrity population. With her coal and iron mi; es, her crops of wheat, j grapes, hemp, flax and jute, her skill; in the manufacture of leather, lios- j ic*ry, cotton goods, glassware am! j silk goods, her future is exception ly bright. France has gone steadily toward her goal of bringing foreign trade un tier the strictest control, and her gov ernment proposes to insure the coun try ng linst any private interference with tin work of rebuilding and re habilitation. Ships cannot now he built in France. The minister of maritime transport and merchant marine holds that to bring materials from the i'nited States or Knglnnd would handicap French shipbuilders be cause ol' the. cost of materials and transportation. This woo’d mean that Kretieli exporters would have to pay higher freight rates to the own ers after the ships were a the wa ter. This would tplace not only ex porters but all French industry tin ner a handicap in the competition for after-war markets. It is propos ed. therefore, that the state shall re place destroyed ships, as it can buy materials more* cheaply, and there fore will bo able to contract for new hips on a basis of insuring reason able rates to the trader. t'n the other hand, the ministry proposes to build a state-owned fleet for the colonies, which will be man aged by ship owners, the state shar it.fr in the profits and deficits. Vhile Fiance ennnot avoid mak ing extensive purchases of building materials and machinery abroad, she plans to curtail largely her food im port s. legislation to increase agricultur al production is being framed. De serted territory will be cultivated. France has no such resources of men and materials as have Great F.ritain and the Fnited States. She understand that without the most intense application of energy to such resources as she has. increased pro duction, elimination of all waste, and a resolute effort to win foreign mar kets, she will be unable to regain her standing among commercial nations. CRIME OF SPITTING IN PUBLIC PLACES (Dr. M. S. Croswell) Recently a lady was talking with me and asked me if some day I would not write a little concerning the all too prevalent and entirely un ■excusable habit of promiscuous spitting which is getting to be a na tional ear mark. Indeed some wit has described the American as “an animal who eats toothpicks, chews gum. and expec torates over everything in sight.” The word picture is indeed fairly accurate of us as a people, and wo are about the only nation who so of fends, although reports state that one of the far-flung results of this great war is the introduction of the toothpick and gum habit into France l>y our soldiers. The Army, I am glad to say, is seriously considering ways to combat the hit or miss spit ilng hahit and ft is highly probable that before long the soldier who spits in public places will be penal ised for violation of Army regula tions. The following clipping tinder the date of April 4. 1918, gives the prob lem as applied to the Army. All that applies there is equally as true in civilian life and oven more urgent as the average citizen works, plays, eats and sleeps in infinitely less hygienic surroundings and has a lower personal resistive power than is true of the men in concentration or base camps: “Respiratory diseases having caused practically all the sick and death rate In the nation's new arm ies, the medical corps today.began a nation-wide campaign of prevention against pneumonia, measles, diph theria, mumps, meningitis, Infantile paralysis, influenza and tuberculosis. "All of the diseases mentioned are spread or communicated in the same way—through the transfer of nasal and mouth secretions. The sickness rate in camps throughout the country could he cut to the minimum if the soldiers and the general public as well, stopped promiscuous coughing, sneezing and spitting. The difficulty of controlling these diseases, it was pointed out at the surgeon-general’s office today, lies In the fundamental fact that human be ings scatter their rose and mouth se cretions without any consideration, despite rules and regulations to the contrary. “One sneeze in a crowded street car could infest many persons in the car with pneumonia, or measleB, or diphtheria, or mumps, or meningitis, or infantile paralysis, or tuberculosis. One hearty cough could do the same. In either case spread of any of these diseases could be prevented if a sneezer or a cougher used his hand kerchief as a ‘cough catcher’ to sneeze or cough in. “Unlike some disease germs, the germs which cause the diseases men tioned do not die or become harmless upon drying. So that when they are dried and blown about by the dust they are still capable of setting up diseases in many other people. “The proble. i of the respiratory i diseases which confronts Slu g. -Gen. Oorgas and the army medical corps is serious. Apparently, however, the public generally is totally ignorant of the immeasurable harm that is done through unguarded and promiscuous cough in-,, sneezing and spitting. "Army medical corps experts, who have given untiring study to this problem, have reached the conclusion that a national campaign must bo in augurated at once, not only in the camps, but in the homes, in the of fices. in the strep* cars and in all public places to stamp out this, wide spread habit of spitting and cough ing, if health conditions for our sol diers are to be improved. “They feel that such a campaign is as important in every way for the object to tie achieved as was the now famous and eminently success ful fly-swatting campaign which started some years ago. For this reason the surgeon-general, there fore, appeals to the public to make the 'Don’t cough, don't sneeze, don’t spit' slogan as widely quoted and effective as ‘Swat the fly.’ “The surgeon-general appeals par ticularly to the press of the country to help with constant warnings, i Prominently displayed in their col umns, in the form of articles and catch slogans that will serve as re minders to the public that the health or our soldiers can be better safeguarded through constant co operation in the anti-cough-and spit campaign.” If you will re-read the list of spltal carried diseases and then add lo it a few others probably so car ried, the dangerous nature of the careless individual who spits, coughs and sneezes as he choose with no regard to other people or the place ean clearly be recognized. Add their common colds, scarlet fever, whooping cough, some kinds at least, of summer and winter chol era, and septic sore throat. Prob j ably there are other diseases also mouth borne and capable of thans mission by sneezing) coughing and spitting’. In light of surh a list, of sicknesses, rimin’ of which arc high ly fatal to their victims, the habit of spitting promiscuously is not only filthy but exceedingly da rigorous to community health, the spitter is not only ill bred but a potential health assassin committing crimes against his neighbors' well-being. Take for example the consump tive who coughs and spits a mouth ful of pus heavily loaded with tu berculosis germs. Possibly he de posits it. in the street where it dries out and the wind scatters it over food, dress, into open mouths and up noses, l.uekily the sunlight rap idly kills tuberculosis germs, so to spit out of doors is a much less hid eous (rime than to spit that mass on the floor or stairs, say of a thea tre. where .t dries out in the dark and lives a long time, capable of being acquired by some person of lew vitality and in that person caus ing a new consumptive in the town. Many of the disease-producing germs are much more resistant to sunshine than the one just men tioned and that accounts for the epidemics of pneumonia, grips, so e throats, and infectious illnesses which we have t” winter and spring especially. The high winds scatter the little death-carrying particles of spital, sneezed, coughed or spit out. and some unfortunate person who is physically at low tide "catches cold" or "grip” or pneumonia, and some life is cut short or made less effective us a result. This washing rain is Nature’s method of cleaning house on the face of the earth. It washes off man's filth. Wo people of the white race rather feel superior to, say the yel low peoples, but In many very prac tical and important ways we are years behind the Japanese. Espe cially is this true in this matter of publld'-end personal hygiene. The Jap is too polite a person not to catch his cough, sneeze or spital in a napkin or cup. He does us one better, too, in that he uses paper handkerchiefs and burns them, avoiding all after infection to the washer. It is safe to say that the Infec tious diseases of this town could be reduced almost to the vanishing point if each person would obey the State law against spitting in public, and at the same time give each house where there has been a cold, grip case, pneumonia, or any Infec tious disease, a thorough cleansing with sunshine and A hot soap and water.

Wh- dre«nt' he strike’" Xhe«e re some of the questions i that have h»»n impatiently asked, everywhere in America, for several d-«arr heartbreaking weeks. Some j fully trusted the distinBuished French soldier aod strategist and advised that all ealmly await his derision. He held all th- -ards. he knew of danger* -vhirh we eould not see he weighed the effeot f hts polic y upon j the enerm command he saw his bo leyrd Paris tremblins before th’ eaBer. nromioB horde*, but he waited until their guns eould he heard In Paris and calmly saw them preparing for another terrific plunge. j H' was ready for that; he knew where th»v would do their utmost.) Ha knew that th» flower of the Ger- man armv had been placed under j command of th» rrown prince fwho would remain beyond danger and rush to the front for the triumphal marh into Parts'. And so, when the "final" dash for Paris h*B*n it failed to dash. It found a Praneo-American stone- j wall in the way. And then the stonewall began to moye northward and at the same time from Soissons south to Chateau Thierry a counter- attack fajrly blew the German right flank out of water.'' I ft is now fully apparent that the German hish command was taken by surprise They had mistaken Fochs waitins policy for weakness, an 1 wh*n their offensive rebounded thev cried "treachery." on the part of German deserters They had been ou*sen»ra!*d. outwitted, fooled into a trap that promised wholesale dis aster. And the hosrhes, too, had been fooled, for they had been led to be lieve that the American army was a mvth ard that should they m»et any of the few' Ame.riean fiBhtinB men over there the latter would instantly run for th» Atlantic crytnB mama!" It was a typical German blunder, baaed on egotism, and contempt r.f the French. Th» offensive was wrenched from Gen. I.udendorffs hands before he awakened to his own ptB headed folly From that mo ment he has been hBhtinp a defen sive warfare under the handicap of attempting to save a score of his best divisions and an unparalleled slump in the morale of his force* and the people at home. In brief. Gen. Foeh s waiting pol ice had at last blown the bottom out cf the entire German plan of cam pa i Bn. Vow we have reached considera tion of the allied policy, whether or not the German army suffers the dis astrous loss of many of its best di visions Will Foeh continue the of fensive when the Germans have re tired be>ond the Yesle or the Aisne, or will he perfect hts line between Kheims and Soissons and "wait”? It is useless 'o p>redict, for Foeh is master of the game. has all the earns, and isn't showing his hand. In the hand lust played he held some tr imp* that Ludendorff never sus pected Cut we may guess, and our guess is as good as that of any body who is not looking over Gen. Koch's shoulder. And our flrst guess would be that Gen. Foeh will wait on this sector, for he CAN wait and the Germans cannot. Time is running ever more heavily against the Ger mans. They had many more chances for victory In February than they had in April, more In April than in May and more In May than In July. Since March 21.. three-quarters of a million American fighters have been added to the allied reserve. Everv day that reserve is Increasing In proportions that must appear alarming in the light of the last weeks events, to the German high command. If Germany cannot go through to or channel now, she never can. And by mid-October, when 2,000. P«0 Americana, with abundant equip ment, are behind Foch, what hop can Germany have of holding the of. tensive. or of holding any position they ma7 desire, against them? Hones. Gen. Ludeadorff must strike again as soon an he can form an army out of hla badly cut up and disorganised forces. He cannot tight ttms and the allies, too, for behind him. among ths People, time is work for strength to increase and his enemy to take the laboring oar. On the other hajid, to the north- ward is an opportunity to deal an other blow to interfere with Luden- dorfTs re-formation of his striking force. The British are itching to do a little Hun-hunting on their own hook, to prove that they are as good hunters as are the French and Americans. Even before the mastery is deter mined south of the Aisne a Franco British blow may be struck along the Somme, if for no other reason than its moral effect upon the German masses who heretofore have had un- j shaken confidence in their military “supermen.” The German crown prince's army came down to the Marne full of the conviction that the French army had 1 lost heart and numbers until it was j on its last legs, and that as for an American army, it was to laugh. Well, they have been punished so terribly that even today (Friday) j their chances promise wholesale dis aster, and in the army that has hurled them back and crushed them, j To per cent of the force is made up of French, the balance largely Americans. In three months allied opposition in the same field might contain as many French and yet be 50 or 60 percent. American in make-up. There is the big fact that is hur- j rving German movements. Then why should not Foch wait, when it costs more to attack than to defen 1? Councils of despair in Germany drive the war masters on to further sac rifice. C ouncils of confidence and caution in th an insult. They have been decisively answered months ago. No attention whatever should he given them in Washington. I.ondon or Taris. The suggestions for a peace con ference to the Spanish government contain the same old pretenses and dunder-headed inference and insin uation that the rest of the world does not know who started the war, who has broken all laws of God and man, who has gloated in wholesale mur der, outrage and torture—in sub stance, do not know enough to go in out of the rain. These suggestions for a conferences based on German loot in the east, ia an insult to the world. If answered at all it should be characterized as such. America and the entente allies are not open to deals betraying the lives and liberty of hundreds of millions to the north and east of Germany, into the hands of such a proven mon ster as HQhenzollern or any of his degenerate offspring, for the sake at securing temporary relief from the blood-thiisty Hun. The Kaiser has been told plainly that no sane government would trust him with a dog's dinner or the honor of an infant. Thus no other inter pretation can be put upon the latest j peace pretense than that it is a brazen lie, in thought and deed, to make the people of Germany and Austria believe that Prussia is still I strong enough to dictate any terms it may desire when ready. The round-table conference when it comes should contain no repre i sentative of the Kaiser, of Prussian* j ism, or of the Hapsburgs. The sooner America and the allies reach that decision the better. But such conference should hold representa tives of every nation and province to the north, east, south and west of Germany and Austria, including Turkey and Bulgaria. The world has suffered enough from Prussianism and Kultur to end them decisively once for all, more cheaply now than ever again. j Henry B. Endicott, at a conference of county food administrators at the i State House today, expressed doubt as to the advisability of cutting down the supply of sugar to be used I in the manufacture of soda and soft j drinks. Mr. Endicott tvas of the opinion that the saving in sugar i which would be made would be off- j set by a lack in support of the Food Administration from the people. He pointed out that large numbers of 1 people are frequenters of the soda fountain. While he believed that 1 soda should be restricted before food- stuffs or candy, he believed that it j might be advisable to wait a while i before curtailing the output from the fountains.—Boston Transcript. Oh, yes! Of course, but the homes cannot have sugar for their lemon- »de. GET THIS? “Who Is helping win the war’" i rhetorically exclaimed the orator wh0 was addressing the naval girl clerks.

Tears ago a young reporter, covering one of his first court terms in a Down East city, gave all hands—including the presiding judge—the benefit of some crisp and disinterested, if not particu j larlv valuable advice, relates the Lewis ton Journal. Now, young reporters are not supposed to do that sort of thing, and next morning there was an air of i suppressed excitement In the court room. Finally the sheriff tapped the reporter gently on the arm, gazed at him pityingly for a moment, and whis pered: •’The judye wants to see you in his room." So of course the reportet went In. By thH time It had begun to dawn on him that he was probably in a mess.

MAKE PRISONERS WORK FOR GOVT. Sanford. Me., July 26.—Because of the scarcity of men to work at the Kittery navy yard Ex-Sheriff N. T. Fogg of Sanford, who is in charge of hiring laborers, suggests that short term men in the county jails of Maine be> paroled and compelled to work for the government. Mr. Fogg states that the government needs 1000 men at Kittery and despite the fact that 40 cents an hour is paid and 60 cents an hour overtime it is impossible to get enough help. There are a large number of short term prisoners in the county jails in Maine, many of whom were unable to pay their fines, and these could be put to work and made to pay the fines and be doing a service for their country at the same time, he said. As it is now these men are idle in the jails and are an expense to the peo ple of the county. Mr. Fogg has taken the shortage of help question up with the United States I-abor Bureau at Portland.

The last stage of drilling is not learned in this war until aftei you have been at the actual work. 11 is the experience, for the shell firt i often breaks down the courage ol those who are considered the best I hope Ernest hasn't the idea that a lot of our boy3 have, for the german; i are bad lighters and we must remem ber that all is fair in war. especially fighting them. I Just to show you: A german who was wounded and being carried baclt on a stretcher by two Tommies grab bed his boot which had been taker off and laid on his chest when thet put a bandage on his foot, and hit the stretcher-bearer with it, break ing his chin. So you see you can'1 play the part of a good Samaritnr j to them. When our boys get whai the Scotch have they will have nr pity for any of them. If you notice I spell germans with a small (g). Ernest should have sent you SIS a i month because you are depending on i him with the children and the gov ernment would have allowed you $1? more. I am in Co. B I am glad to heat Ernest tcok out $10,000 of insurance Every soldier over here should have it because some one has got to dir if "Old Glory” is to be victorious I do not know how the people at home look at the germans' offensive* but we are not worried nor are thr French people, in fact we like to set them attack for they make good tar gets. You say Ernest said e heard from me but I never got a reply. I had a lot of souvenirs and was going to send you some when I got to a city in the rear, but 1 lost them all and I guess the rest of our boys did. When 1 get back I will send you something. I have not seen Tommy but I will inquire for him and droo him a line. Well, it is near dinner time so 1 will close with love to all, PERKY. From Perry Bickford. I". S. B. H. No. 34. In France. To C. H. Bickford. Augusta, Me. Somewhere in France. June 3, 191S. Dear Sister: I Just a few lines to let you know I am all right and hope that this lot S tor will find you the same. I re ceived your letter of May 9 all right and was glad to hear from you. We have been having some very good weather here for the last couple of months. In the day time we go around in our shirt-sleeves We are now resting up after our third trip to the trenches. We have had good luck. I have not heard from Perry for I some time. The last time I heard from him he was up on the Somme front attached to the British forces. I wrote to him last Friday and hope to hear from hir room I got a let ter from Pa the other day and h« said he had not heard from him for a I long time. If he answers my letter right away I will let you know how he is. We have been having some good times here. At the Y. M. C. A. in the evening there is some kind of entertainment. There are some gooj singers here that are traveling over France for the boys. They go from camp to camp and to the hospitals j for the sick. We heard a good story last night i and if it is right there will be some thing doing. But you can't tell about what you hear, there are so many different ones that run around a bunch of fellows. There was a I fellow here that got a Boston paper and I noticed that there was a big piece about a Massachusetts regl i ment doing so much. They had a picture of some of the boys that we-e wounded and killed. It told what they did and how many Boehes they killed but we had to help them. They were fighting and the Boehos drove them from a line of trenches and killed several so they thought the Germans were holding the trenches and di" not go near them. When our battalion relieved them a short time after, one of the captains got anxious and got a patrol to gether and went out to the trench and in it he found no Boche. There was plenty of ammunition left by them for all they came for was to try" to get prisoners. So both sides after the raid got scared and did not go near the trench until a patrol from our battalion went through it. The Massachusetts boys got the praise for themselves but when they come to the real business they find that the Maine and New Hampshire hoys are just as good if not better. Well, I can't think of much more. Give my best regards to all. CORP. C. E. BICKFORD. From Corp. C. E Bickford. Company M, I03d Infantry. To Mrs. George Coutemaunehe, 30 Royal Park, Augusta, Me.

July :6.-The stock market was hesitant anil irregular in the first half of today's superficial session, pre sumably on the failure of sensational war rumors current yesterday to mate rialize, hut prices hardened later, a few leaders making maximum Quotations for the current movement. The improvement of the afternoon was concurrent with the more encourag ing views entertained by banking, inter ests regarding the administration’s tax ation policy and the easier tone of call money, which was more abundant, al though lime fund's were scarce and un changed as to rates. Foots were con spicuous in numerous minor specialties. but steels, allied equipments, coppers and some of the tobacco's featured the 1 occasional intervals of activity, mainly on short covering. United States Steel was easily in the forefront, furnishing about 4ii per cent, of the offerings and attaining the highest price of the week at li j> 3-?. closing one-half a point under its best. i Bethlehem. Crucible and Lackawanna steels, Kepublic Iron and Colorado Fuel gained 1 to 2 points. I.'tah Copper and i oils 1 to 1J, and General Cigars was prominent for its sudden rise of four points. Rails were extremely listless. Union Pacific, as an instance, remaining al together unquoted until at the end, while Reading slowly regained its one point reverse Backard issues included General Motors. Sumatra Tobacco. In dustrial ami Cuba Cane Sugar Sales amounted to 335.000 shares. Internation als fared better than domestic issues in their small fraction Total Fairs, par value, aggregated J4.S25.0P0.

AMUSEMENTS COLONIAL Roy Stewart, Famous Triangle Cow boy in “The Law's Outlaw.” Sat urday—Thrilling Mystery Play of Western Life For relaxation, amusement or ree reation Saturday's picture program at the Colonial is a world heater. The feature film is a thrilling Western photoplay of the most artistic and finished order—"The Law's Outlaw" —with Roy Stewart, king of cowboy®, in the lead. This is a story that will satisfy the most fastidious fan. Here is a play full of action, life and pep _0f love, hatred, quick shooting and hard riding. Triangle has given the star role in this picture to Roy Stewart. That hig. brawny, breezy, AVestern cowboy artist did such a delightful piece of heart-winning characterization in ‘.he •'Boss of the Lazy Y" that it was only natural Triangle should turn "The Law's Outlaw” over to him for in terpretation. Stewart has a winning personality. His smile is one of the rarest in filmdom. But his acting is superb. He is as terrible a gun fighter as Hart in the latter's most ferocious moods. Yet he is capable nf the finest and most child-like gen tleness ol expression when he so wills. "The Law's Outlaw" shows twiee today .-it the Colonial under the bus pices of the Triangle banner, and never was a picture more welcome than this one. Motion Picture News says of this photodrama: Here is a picture alive with brisk action and possessing all the elements which should appeal favorably to patrons in search of lively entertainment. It makes one of the most thoroughly satisfying Western pictures that has been seen of recent date, and there have been many of them. Another exciting ep -ode in the "House of Hate" will be shown as a second feature today with Pearl White in the lead. An added attrac tion is a celebrated Triangle com edy, "A Marriage Knot.” Some laugh. Today's show is decidedly worth while. Henry Marmon of Vassalboro was a visitor Friday in the city on mat ters of a husiness nature.

A GARDEN THAT IS PAYING BIG RETURNS A ''real'’ garden, one that fur nishes a living from mid-summer right through the winter, is the kind of a garden owned and worked by L. D. Wentworth of 12 Gilman street, Augusta. He has been digging early rose potatoes nearly four weeks and 1 will have ripe tomatoes and cucum bers in plenty within a week. The family cold-packed a bushel of beans one day this week, have canned chard and beet greens, in fact that garden j is now' producing faster than its owner can oaro for it. Mr. Wentworth this year experi- j mented with good old-fashioned early rose potatoes, and the result is best explained in a dozen potatoes on ex- hibition Friday. They weighed over five ponnrts and were not the largest on hand at that, but the best look ing. The only fertilizer used for 1 those red-faced spuds was a mixture of muck and ashes. They were i planted April 0 and W'ere ready for th table the first of July. The Journal would like to hear from other good gardens. TRAVELING ENROLLING PARTY Of U. S.

W. ADAMS CO. Augusta, Maine STATE HOUSE Next Council Meeting 10 A. M. Wednesday, ^ily 31 Governor Milliken Friday made his hrst official inspection of the war gard ens conducted by the school children of Maine He started the trip in Portland and will later visit the juvenile garden patches in other parts of the State. The Chief Executive went to Portland Thursday night for a double purpose. He attended a reception to the drafted men who left Friday morning, reviewed them just before they left and then started on this garden inspection trip. Governor Milliken is especially inter- 1 ested in this war garden work because j Maine is the only State in the Union that has given financial encouragement to such an enterprise. This statement was made recently by an agent of the United rtates department of the interior who was in Maine in the interest of educational work. According to reports that have been received by Dr. A. O. Thomas, the State superintendent of public schools, there are now over 400 acres of land in Maine under cultivation by the children of school age. Places from which no re ports have as yet been formally re ceived will bring the total up to over 500 acres. The gardens which Governor Milliken inspected in Portland Friday cover 45 acres of land and are cultivated by about 1000 school children. In all, re ports have been received that show over 2900 school choldren at work in the school war gardens, so that Portland has a third of all that have been re ported in Maine. In Rumford there are 350 children cultivating gardens; in Presque Isle. 300; in Fort Fairfield, 3 *2 Q K $6, $6.50 and $7.
