American infantry were in occu- patton of a. small salient for instruc- tion when cut off from the main body by heavy bombardment of German ar tillery. General Pershing reports the capture of one prisoner. Enemy losses are not known. says the dispatch
 The official statement issued by the war department is as follows:

 The Austro-German forces, breaking through the Italian defenses along the upper reaches of the Isonzo, have erupteG into the lowlands and carried forward 4 series of rapidly co-ordinated operations, which have resulted in the conquest of much territory.
 Trench warfare has for the time being been abandoned Great troop masses are maneuverng in open country.

10 WISCH against tnS uSCtS'ot'
 The scales are based upon the increase in the cost of living since the beR h. ming of the war. it was stated.
 Seventy-five thousand men must be employed in the Pacific coast ship yards to carry out the governments pro- gramme, the board decided. The board will urge the department of labor to ex- tend the federal employment service in California. Oregon and Washington to supply skilled workmen
 BOARD IS WAR BOARD
 The ship building labor adjustment board is a war board,''s the decision states. 'sThe owners of the ship yards are, for the duration of the war. mere ly agents of the government. Employ CTS and employees must realize the war has changed their relation to each other. The government is insistent that ships it requires must be built and be built promptly. It is equally insistent that standards of living must be pre- served.
 .The national programme requires an increase in the output of ships from 
 750.000 tons turned out in 1915. to G,G0o,0Ou tons in 191S This necessitates introduce ing wherever possible of the two and three shift systems. Immediate steps to bring about this change must be taken by ship yard owners. The board urges representatives of organized labor and employers concerned to work out in cooperation with agents ot the gov ernment plans for more rapid training Aof skilled workers in the different crafts.
 Summarizing the decision, Secretary Henry R. Seager, of the board, said:
 "The board did not feel justified in forcing on the taxpayers of the country who henceforth must pay for the ships built, the higher wage that the cont sideration of merely local aspects of the situation might have warranted. It Urges employers and employees to accept
 decision in the spirit of loyal cc-
 Tation and do their utmost to help
