KAISER'S Army TURNS
NOW TO RACPICkINC
Rubbish Heaps To Be Searched
Even for Empty Cans.
fBy Cabl. to The Tribune J

London, July 1l.-Judging from a
recent German army order which has
just reached London, every German
general will soon be leading an army
of ragpickers. The time is not far
distant when the German soldiers will
use their bayonets TO prod rubbish
heaps in search of rags, waste paper,
empty cans and old bottles.
The order states that economy on
the battlefield will henceforth be es-
sential German soldiers must exer-
else minute care as ragpickers, sand
bags must accurately be counted, and
none must be lost, under heavy penal
ties.
All leather and metal articles must
be carefully collected; the dead. botn
friends and enemies, stripped Of boots
and clothes. Dead bodies will no
longer be allowed TO be wrapped IN
canvas. The whole tenor of the order
suggests that the German shortage OF
war material is becoming serious.

Importance of Contalmaison.

Importance of Contalmaison.
The most important of these VIC
/ tories was that at Contamination,
which formed the keystone of the
German wedge. How important the
Kaiser's commanders considered this
stronghold is indicated by the fact
that the Prussian guards were
thrown into the combat TO halt the
incessant British blows.
For ten days and ten nights the
British have been hurling themselves
at the German lines without pause.
Sir Douglas Haig, in the official re.
port from British Headquarters to-
night, summarizes the results OF
these operations as follows:
After ten days and nights of con-
tinuous fighting our troops have COM
pleted the methodical capture Of the
whole of the enemy's first system Of
defence on a front of $4,000 yards
(eight miles,. The system of defence
consisted of numerous and continu-
Gus lines of fire trenches, support
trenches and reserve trenches, eX-
tending for various depths from two
thousand TO four thousand yards. II
included five strongly fortified vii
lagos. numerous heavily wired and
intrenched woods and a large num-
Der of immensely strong redoubts.
The capture of each Of these trenches
represented an operation OF some i'm
portance. and the whole of them are
now in our hands.
British Retake Trones Wood.
"The German success in the re-
capture of Trones Wood after costly
casualties was of short duration. To.
day we recaptured nearly the whole
Of this wood. All but the northern
most end is again in our hands"
The number of prisoners taken by
the British exceeds 1900. In the
battle of the Somme the Allied forces
have captured $4,000 prisoners and
lO4 guns.
Mean while, in full possession OF
Hill 81, from which they can look
into Peronne, $50 feet below, the
French are engaged in organizing
and extending their gains before
they launch the final drive for the
railway centre. Small operations to-
day enabled Foch's troops TO clear
completely the wood north Of La
Maisonette, near Hill 81.
Before Peronne falls. formidable de-
fences outside the city must be over
whelmed It is not likely, however.
that they will be stormed before the
British push their lines further east
and so protect the French flank. The
primary object of the Allied drive has
been achieved The next step will be
ss deliberate as the first.

slightest the pressure on the whole

TOKYO, Jan. s by maiD.-The Euro
pean war has brought undreamed OF
prosperity to Japan. Evidence OF this
is found not only in the enormous in
crease in the gold reserve. but in the
fact that tho Japanese newspaper
are busy chronicling the rise OF many

The leading shipyards Of Japan
have filed orders which will keep
them busy for three years. Thanks to
the withdrawal of German vessels.
Japanese shipping Is enjoying the

Shipping men are predicting that Ja-
pan will in few years have a mcr-
camille marine second only to that OF
England. They believe. too, that ship
building Is destined to become a great
national industry in Japan.
