CONGRESSMEN CHARGE THEIR
LETTERS HAVE BEEN OPENED
Tague and Dallinger of
Massachusetts, Complain to
House Sub Committee
Enemies of P. o. Dept.

Washington. July 26.-Representa-
tive Tague and Dallinger of Massa-
chusetts, who have been at odds with
the post office department, told a
house subcommittee today that re-
Gently their mail had been opened in
transit.
Tague, a democrat also declared he
had been told post Office inspectors
were in his district seeking to "get
something on him. Persons, said to
him, he added. that reports of him
being under surveillance by inspectors
were common gossip at his home.
Michael G.. Leary, democratic state
chairman of Massachusetts,, he said
was one Of his informants.
.Tague said tampering with his mail
began after he opposed Postmaster
Burleson's plan to abolish pneumatic
tube mail service. His most conf1den-
tial letters, including some from his
wife and little boy, he said, had been
opened and delivered to him re-sealed.
Ballinger, republican, who had an
extended controversy with the post
master of Boston over the Cambridge
post Office and political affairs, testi-
fed that a registered letter was among
his mail which had been opened.

Eighth Army Believed Lost.

London, July 26.-An appalling
blow Is the description of the Rus
sian collapse given in a despatch from
sPetrograd to the Post. Never in the
war has Russia put afield such Ienor-
nous armies. British and French
guns and gunners, flying machines,
aviators and British armored rars
were added to the unprecedented
technical strength of the Russians
themselves to make this particular
front equal to anything. The ar
tillery was planned where such ad-
-mirable natural prepared positions
as amounted to the ideal. There
were places where the artillery lay
in absolutely dead ground not 800
yards from the enemy trenches. Big
guns were ideally placed, thanks to
the character of the terrain.
Information regarding the guns Of
the Eleventh army almost staggers
belief. 1t appears that the infantry
shot down their own gunners in order
to obtain their horses or shot down
the gun horses in running as they
retreated, leaving practically all the
artillery of the Eleventh army in en-
emy hands.
AS far as the artillery and tech
nical appliances of the Seventh and
Eighth armies are concerned there is
also no hope of their being saved.
lThe Germans were already couple
of days ago we'll abreast of the short
est line of retreat.
The enemy's advance on the west
ern wing has been accelerated and
the gun positions are behind the line
now occupied by the Germans. It is
becoming an exceedingly anxious
question whether the Eighth army
will succeed in getting away at all
but it is maintaining the best haste
eastward.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
HAND is BLOWN OFF
Examination of French Bomb Proves
Costly to One of Pershing's Men
Troops Drilling Hard.
(By the Associated Press. }


With the American Forces in
France. July 25.-The first field cas-
ualty among the American forces
occurred today. A soldier became too
inquisitive in regard to the construc-
ton of live French bomb among
the supplies brought to the camp for
training purposes. He extracted the
safety pin in some manner and very
soon the bomb exploded. Fortunately
for the soldier, the bomb did not con-
tain charge of full battle strength,
or he would have been blown to
pieces. AS it was, he escaped with
the loss of his right hand.
At every vantage point near the
camp today men in khaki and men in
blue could be seen, drilling, marching
and digging side by side. Field ma
neuvers were in progress at several
places while from more secluded spots
came the rattle of machine guns.
Musketry practice was being held, and
on every hand was activity which was
most impressive.
The French and American soldiers
oughly. The French frankly admire
the aptitude Of their enthusiastic pu-
pills.
Visits to the French front undoubt-
edly will be quite frequent In the fu-
ture, in order that American officers
NAV acquaint themselves with condi-
tions of life on the front line in it's
various phases including routine as
we'll as the actual working of offen-
sive and defensive plans.

CHEMICAL FACTORY
WOULD LOCATE HERE
Compagnie Morana, With Offices in
This Country and Abroad, Seeks
Factory Site Here.

The Compagnie Morana, a chemical
and perfumery company with factories
and Offices in this country as we'll as
in France, Cuba and Mexico, is de-
sirous Of locating a branch factory in
this vicinity and in a. letter received
by Mayor Quigley today the president
Of the company asks to be informed
of any available sites either in New
Britain or the Immediate neighbor-
hood.
If possible the company would like
a site from five to Is acres, with fac
tory building already erected. They
would make any necessary alterations.
The letter specifies that the site must
be in locality where there will be no
objections to fumes, and it must also
be easily accessible to gas and elec-
tricity and must also be within range
of spur track. Some idea of the size
the statement that the annual payroll
would at first be beteween $50, 900 and
100000, it is claimed.
The New York Office of the Cam
pagnie Morana is at 118 East 27th
street and other offices and factories
are located at Paris, Havana, Chicago
and Mexico City. The company manu-
factures raw materials for perfumes
and soap. 1t also deals extensively
in pomades, essential oils, natural
concrete Of flowers, floral waters. olive
oil, synthetic essential oils and other
chemicals.

DR.. Hclfand Lenine Lieutenant.

Copenhagen, July 25.-The revolt
of Nikolai Lenine in Petrograd and
the activities of his followers at the
<front brought into prominence the
connection between this party and
the German socialists and the Ger
man government to which the Asso-
ciated Press repeatedly referred when
the Russian peace angels were be-
many by the government. Petrograd
dispatches indicate an attempt to
identify agents who acted as media
of communication and paymasters.
One of the most prominent of these
resides in Copenhagen. He is DR..
Helfand, known in German socialist
circles under the psuedonym of Pra-
vus, of Russian birth. The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent first knew
of him as a member of the council
of workmen during the Russian revo-
luton in 1905. At that time his
name was associated with rumors of
irregularities with the councils funds.
He next appeared as publisher for
Maxim Gorky. with whom he also
had financial disputes. Helfand be-
came allied with the German social
lists and rose to considerable promi-
nence a writer. He was Inaturalized
as a German during the war by spe-
ciaI permission of the German gov
eminent After tie recent Russian
y revolution he devoted himself to
opening communications between the
Russo German socialists in Copen-
fcnnti,1Ie6 IN Eleventh arai.

Every Man Eligible to Be Given
Physical Examination
ONE FORM FOR AFFlDAVlTS
Provost Marshal Generals Office to
Prepare List Showing at Glance Id
ability of Every Prospective Soldier
All Problems to Be Cleared Up.

Washington. July 26.-while local
selection boards were at work today
essem bling men of the selective
draft forces, officials of the provost
marshal generals office began prepar-
ing new publication to furnish reg
1stered men with an easy method of
keeping track of their status in their
districts.
The new list will be issued with
cross reference by number between
the red ink and drawing numbers. 1t
will be possible for those supplied
With the lists to inform any man al
most instantly in what order he was
drawn when he furnishes his red
INK number. Presumably these lists
Will be placed in the selection boards
headquarters so that registrants may
find out quickly where they stand.
II the master list is used for this pur-
pose it might be necessary to read
over several thousand numbers before
a registrant finds his own.
A careful outline Of the process to
be followed both by the selection and
district boards also is being prepared
for publication. Registrants and their
relatives are worried over action they
should take and the object of the
statement will be to answer their
questions fully.
The only thing registrants who ex-
pect to be called in the first draft can
do now is to watch the selection board
headquarters so as to know when their
names are posted. The date when they
are to report for physical examination
Will be shown at the same time
Even the question of dependents
will not come up in any way until a
report on a mans physical condition
shows him to be suitable for military
service. When that has been re-
ceived, the selection board will be pre-
pared to receive aff1davits of depend
ents the prospective soldiers has. The
forms of the afidavits will be shown
by the board.
Similarly forms Of applications for
exemption on Industrial grounds or
for appeal from the ruling of the Sc
lection board will not be available un-
til the time for their use comes. The
purpose Of the plan is to avoid the pill
ing up of docum ents and to provide
that the boards Will have before them
at any time only the papers of cases in
process of hearing. That is the only
way, officials believe, in which rapid
action can be assured.

Washington. July 26.-The posi-
bility that Major General Goethals
may go to France to head the Ameri-
can army engineers is foremost among
the developments which have followed
President Wilson's reorganization OF
the shipping board
Work on Americas new merchant
marine, it was said today, probably
soon will begin under the guidance of
Edward n. Hurley whose appointment
as chairman of the shipping board has

before the president today.
Edward N. Hurley of Chicago was
sworn in as a member of the ship
ping board today. He will be elected
chairman at a later meeting of the
board.
