Englishmen are merely lacking a

Washington is smiling an official smile
(Which is the diplomatic way of con-

the other day, when Secretary Baker
was on an inspection trip. He crossed
from one camp to another when a
British cruiser, lying near by, sig
nailed:
"Who Is that going ashore flying an
official fiag?"
'"The secretary of war" was the
answer.
THANK you," said the Britisher.

teous bluejackets.

BIG PAY FOR STEEL WORKERS
Some Workmen In the Industry Draw
a. High a. $500
Month.

Youngstown.-High wages than
ever known before In the steel industry
are being paid workers In local steel
mills. Some workmen make as much
as $500 monthly. This is due to this
sliding scale of wages, based on the
selling prices of steel, for sheet and
tin plate workmen under the Anal
gamated association ruling.
Tremendous profits followed In the
wake Of the declaration Of the Euro
pean war. The highest wages go to
the rollers" Heaters, roughers and
other workmen receive corresponding
ly high wages.
It is not uncommon for laborers to
get from $12 to SIS day. In some
cases, from IS to Sc daily Is made by
unskilled workmen after a few weeks
experience.

death blow. The 1etails cannot be
discussed, but the ground has been
cleared for a colossal amount of work,
embracing. all branches that go to
make for fhe efficient operation Of
modern war machine, and big share
will be taken over during the bad
weather by Americans, not only in
the United States, but also In France.
And this quite aside from the training
of the fighting men and the education
of the officers In the latest phases of
warfare.
The result of all this activity win
be that next spring the entente allies
Will possess supereminent war ma
chine, gunned, manned and equipped
in an unprecedentedly complete and
magnificent manner. 1t was correct to
say last winter that In 1917 the entente
allies would develop striking force
which could not be exceeded in 1918
If the war continued. But at that
time the Intervention of the United
States was only dim possibility; the
revolution in Russia and the collapse
of her army were foreseen by nobody.
Tough Problem for Enemy.
AS the situation stands at present,
with the United States adding her
mighty power to the common lot, and
with still unextinguished hope that
the Muscovites may be brought back
to their old aggressive fighting. men
belonging to the inner circles of Eur
rope affirm their belief that the entente
allies will be able to confront linden
burg with a far harsher problem In
1913 than they could have hoped to
put up to him in 1917.
Next spring the British army will
still be at top strength, for in the past
summer Haig Shas put forth nothing
like his maximum effort, and in con-
sequence has suffered losses far below
the figures anticipated at the British
war office. When 1t was seen that the
Russian army must drop out of all
offensive plans this summer and that
Germany would be able to develop an
unexpected strength upon the western
front, the Franco-British policy natur-
ally became more conservative. The
building up of the American armies
has confirmed the wisdom of this
course, which looks to the accumula-
tion of an irresistible power before the
last continuous, annihilating blows are
delivered upon all possible fronts.

SUDDEN BLOW
TWO MILES GAINED BY A SUD-

RUSS CLAIM THEY HAD BEST OF
SEA FTGHT-OTHER FRONTS
QUIET.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. "a
While the allied troops were busily
engaged in consolidating positions
won Monday in Flanders, the French
forces of Gen Petain struck mighty
and unexpected blow against the Ger
man line northeast of scissors Tues
day morning and made some of tho
mist important gains of terrain since
they threw back the army of the Ger
many crown prince which Tas be-
sieging Verdun.
The stroke was made over front
of about six miles from the east of
Vauxaillon to Pargny-Filain. Under
rainy and generally unfavorable
weather conditions the French push
ed forward all along the line. aided
by audacious aviatcrs who flew over
the German positions at an altitude
of about $50 feet, using their ma
chine guns and penetrated the Ger
man line at one point to depth OF
two and a fifth miles.
Numerous important positions fell
into the hands of Gen. Petain's men,
and in ad dition more than 1900
Germans, an enormous amount of
war material and 25 heavy field guns
were captured.
Ts-e
The latest advices concerning the
naval activity in the glf of Riga be-
tween the Germans and the Russians
show that although the Russians lost
the battleship Slava and a large tor
pedo boat destroyer, the Germans
were the heaviest losers. Two of
their dreadnaughts, one cruiser, IL
torpedo boats, one transport and nu-
merous mine sweepers were put out
of action by the Russian fleet. While
the exact fate of these vessels has
not been ascertained by the Petro-
grad government, it is expected at
least six of the German destroyers
were sunk.
Further German attempts to land
forces on the Esthonia coast to the
north of Werder have been repulsed
by Russian detachments.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 24.-Mil-
itary experts here do not expect win
ter to halt the great allied drive
against the Germans in Flanders.
Secretary Bakers weekly review of
war operations discloses the belief of
the war department that potency OF
material and men will enable the
British and French commanders to
triumph over natural obstacles and
continue forcing the enemy backward
without waiting for spring.
The review touches for the first
time upon the American expedition
airy forces in France, declaring the
men, after three months intensive
training, are in efficient fighting trim
and splendid physical condition.
In dwelling on the importance Of
the battle of Flanders and its effect
upon the morale of the Germans the
war secretary declares it apparent
that the German high command PLAN
ned the recent expedition against the
Russians in the Riga sector in order
to bolster up morale and meet i'm
pending internal difficulties. Thus,
by extending her lines in the east, he
adds, Germany has merely added to
the length of her line of communi-
cations and increased confidence in
the final allied victory.

J0rity Of these training camps are To-

Buffalo, Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Paul,

"By some 1t is contended that 1t will
require 100000 feet of lumber for
each of the training camp hospitals,
while another report fixes the amount
at 100000 feet. For the 'reconstruc-
ton hospitals 100000 feet Of lumber
will be required In each case and pos
sibly more.
Lumber for Camps In France.
"On this basis ii is easy to see that
the lumber companies will be called on
for at least 150,O00OO0 feet Of lumber
for the training camp hospitals and
120OO0,000 feet for the reconstruction
hospitals, or grand total of 270,000.-
600 feet for these combined purposes.
Should these orders overrun as much
as the training camp orders did, the
amoRnt of lumber and timbers for
these hospitals will be nearer 30O..
100000 feet than less. In the mean
time lumber for the American troop
camps In France will call for many
more millions of feet of lumber In the
near future.
There are besides all this work Of
future construction several officers
training camps yet to be built In diff
ferent parts of the country, for which
the contracts will soon be let, aviation
camps of different kinds that the gov
ernment will have to build, the exact
type of which has not as yet been fully
agreed upon, all of which are under
consideration by the proper heads,
