ISSUES FIRST OFFICIAL
Statement ON THE WAR
War Department Sends Out Bulletin
: Regarding Operations on West.
ern Front.

Washington, Sept. 27.-The Ameri.
can governments first official state
ment concerning operations in Europe
has been issued by Secretary Baker.
It says that while ascendancy on the
Western front has passed definitely to
the Allies, they are content merely to
wear down the enemy until the force
Of the American army makes itself
telt in the field.
Operations for the week ending
September % are reviewed without
reference to the American force. The
statement follows:
"As the time draws near when mill
tary operations on large scale on
the Western front must come to
standstill, owing to the approach of
winter, it becomes evident that the
enemy does not feel himself in posi-
ton to undertake the much advertised
offensive action so often boosted of at
home during the past summer in order
TO end the war VIGOROUSLY by Christ
mas"
The rest of the statement is a re-
hash of the official statements of the
various war Offices as to conditions on
the Western front.

GOVERNMENT TO FIX
LOWER GASOLINE PRICE
Price Of Fuel oil Also to Go Lower
When Best Method Of Procedure
Is Decided,

Washington, Sept. 27.-Immediate
measures looking toward a general re-
duction in the price Of fuel oil and
gasoline are under contemplation by
the government. It has not beer de-
cided whether to move under powers
contained in the food control bill or
to seek an agreement with producers
similar to the steel and copper price
agreements.
The Federal Trade commission has
completed and turned over to Presi.
dent. Wilson cost of production esti-
mates for fuel oil and gasoline. These
estimates are said to show that it now
costs II to 20 cents gallon to pro.
duce gasoline and from 80 cents to 81
to produce fuel oil. Prices for both
are extremely high.

Secretary Baker has said that de-
finite figures as to the number of Ma
tional army men it would be necessary
to transfer to the national guard were
not available. Not only are these divi-
pions being organized for the first:
time, but in the midst Of that mobili
Eatioh the whole fabric of the infantry
army is being reorganized on the new
trench warfare plans.
The fighting strength of the new
division is now fixed at 27,500 men,.
The II guard divisions on that basis;
will have total strength Of 437, 500
men.
Guards Total Near 100000.
The guard probably brought into the
federal service a total of not more
than 100000 men, possibly less. It:
will take, therefore at least $4,000
National army men to fill up the guard
divisions. Another 100000 of the Ma
tional army will go to the air service
and certainly as many more to other
special services. That would leave not
more than $4,000 men to form the 18
National army divisions which should
have an aggregate war strength Of
$4,000.
