The Iron Age to-day says:
''W. f. Roberts, who has been for
several years general superintendent
of the Bethlehem Steel Company, was
elected a vice president last week and
given full charge of the operations of
all steel plants, including those at
Steelton and Sparrows Point of the re-
Gently acquired Pennsylvania Steel
Company
MIR. Roberts is SO years of age and
his advance in the operating side of
the steel industry has been rapid. He
started at the age of - as an office
boy for the late Eckley b. Coke of
Coke Bros & Co., in the anthracite
region. He worked for six years in
the office and technical library and
attended the evening school of the
Mining and Mechanical Institute
which was fostered by Mr.. Coke.
THUS he prepared himself for Le-
high University. At Lehigh he was a
member of the honorary technical fra

NEWPORT THRIVES
UNDER TWO YEARS.
OF DRY REGIME.
Ousting. of Rum Traffic in
Perry County Town
Boosts Business
BOROUGH COUNCIL ACTS
Editor SO Writes James w.
Barker-Dauphin License
Argument Ends

How Newport. Perry county, has
thrived as dry" town during the
last two years is Interestingly told by
David s. Fry, editor of the Newport
News, in a letter to James w. Barker,
this city, one of the leaders in the big
fight of ;he churches, the No-License
and the Law and Order Leagues of
Dauphin county against the relicensing
of a score or more of hotels in the city
and county.
Mr.. Barker asked for data relative
to the effect of the dry" ruling on
the civic and commercial conditions of
the growing up-river borough. The
Newport editors reply is especially
illuminating in view of the local battle
against the lum interests in 1916
license court.
The letter. however, tells its own
story. Here it is:
Newport, Perry county, is fin
ishing up its second year of no
license regime. The preponderance
of temperance sentiment increases
as the years follow one after the
other. This year the greatest dem-
onstration ever made against the
liquor traffic in this town was
made In addition to approXi-
mately 200 electors signing the
remonstrance and an equal num-
ber of women citizens afiiXing

Stone Votes Ave
IF this Senate is going to be gagged
the Senator from Missouri will be
gagged with the rest of u.s." Senator
Borah shouted.
When order was restored Senator
Stone explained that ION this resolu-
tion | vote aye"
There was some uncertainty among
Senators as to the status OF the
various resolutions when the roll
call had begun.
1t was explained then that Senator
James had moved to lay not only the
Gore warning resolution but also his
so-called corrected resolution on the
table. 1t was necessary then for
Senators to express themselves as to
warning and on the question of the
killing of an American on an un-
warned merchantmen as a cause for
war, in one vote.
For that reason Senator Gore voted
to table because he did not favor his
own substitute and had introduced it
merely to get an expression of the
Senate on that issue.
Wilson Satisfied
1t was said at the White House that
the result in the Senate was satis-
factory and met the wishes of Presi-
dent Wilson. 1t was added that atten.

Another Halt in Offensive At
tributed to Difficulty in
Moving Big Artillery
Through Moist Clay of
Terrain Region; Claw
hammer Tactics in Evil
dence

The violent German offensive on
Verdun has been resumed the fight
ing taking on an extremely desperate
character north of the French strong
hold.
The Paris War Office claims that the
French repulsed all the German at
1acks, except that west of Fort
Douaumont, the Germans succeeded
in reaching the village of Douaumont
where the struggle is being contin-
ued.
The halt in the determined German
offensive directed at the stronghold
has been attributed by many observers
10 the difficulties of Terrain interfering
with the movement of heavy artillery
by the concentrated fire of which the
Crown Princes army blasted their way
through the outer defenses. Appar-
emily the Germans now have been able
to bring up some at least of their
larger pieces, for the French War Of
flee has reported Il considerable in
crease in the intensity of the fire along
the whole front at Nerdun, both to the
north and northwest and in the
Woevre region to the east and south
east.
Hammer the Dead Man
The arrives from these two sides
now renewed, are held to Indicate the
familiar German plan of rolling up
the flanks of n position or using the
clawhammer jaws of the military ma
chine to get at the kernel of the nut.
Significance may be attached in this
connection to the development of a
heavy bombardment of the French
positions on La Mort Homme (the

a half west of the bend in the Meuse

which it is eight miles distant. No
infantry attack on this flank posi-
tion has yet been reported, however.
the renewal of the assaults taking
place in the Douaumont region, on
the northwest front where the French
last night reported a German repulse.
Expect Argonnc Drive
Possible development of some Ger
man movement in the Argonne, still
further to the northwest of the fort
ress, is indicated by the Paris report
that the French have directed a con-
centrated fire on hostile positions
there. Observers eyes also are still
on the Champagne region, beyond the
Argonne, where the Germans recent
ly made gains toward the south and
where a serious break in the French
lines would have a material influence
on the situation at Verdun by inter-
Iering with lines of communication
from the west.
