 GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug, gallantry of the French troops before Verdun carried them forward again today when they at tackled the line between Mormont farm and La Chaume wood, and ad- vanced another thousand yards, cap turing nearly 1000 prisoners. The territory to the south of Beaumont heights and woods almost to the vil- lage of Beaumont fell into their hands notwithstanding some very severe German counter-attacks which came on under vigorous fire from the French artillery The first attack in the center was checked for time but the resistance of numerous nests of machine guns was overcome by a wonderful dash of fresh troops who would not be denied

WASHINGTON, Aug. H.-Presi- dent Wilson frightened government control Of exports by issuing an order forbidding the shipment of any goods 10 European or neutral countries ex- cept under license, and by extending the lists for which license IS required in shipments to Allies and neutrals, other than European countries, to in- clude cotton, all meats, sugar and most of Americas other export com modities.
 In a statement accompanying the proclamation the president said one of the first intentions of the govern ment will be to see that no American products are made the occasion of benefit to the enemy. either directly or indirectly.
 Officials interpreted the order as forecasting a vigorous use of export control as a war weapon and policy of strictest rationing of the countries contiguous to Germany, Exports to Germany and its Allies are also for bidden. This is understood to mean that export control is about to super sede the British system of giving let ters of assurance for American car goes. Up to now there has been nothing but the British blockade to prevent the shipment of American goods to Germany. The presidents order contains the first formal an nouncement of the transfer of the ad ministration of export control from the department of commerce to the export administrative board.

They were left there 24 hours.
 Then they were led to factory in the ncighborhood where they were asked ii they would go to work. Upon their refusal, they were taken to a field under military escort. divcsted by force of their overcoats, shoes, scarfS, and hats or caps, and exposed in a snowstorm an entire day and an entire night, with nothing to eat or drink and under the absolute prohi- bition to make the slightest move mcnt. Some of them lost conscious ness after a few hours of this expos ure, and all of them were taken to the hospital the following day
 The son of the Antwerp manufac- turer, stout, robust man at the time of the deportation, was sent home a complete physical wreck short time afterward and since has died from the mistreatment. He told his suffcrings to the physician who treated him, and the Belgian government is in posses sion of the evidence as given to the doctor.

 There is also another means ot constraint used upon the dcported in the form of punishment camps, where the regime is still more severe than in the other informed camps and where the dcported are forced to work in the marshes. often in most excessively cold weather. dressed in nothing but trousers, shirt, and wood en shoes. without food during an en- tire day.

 Corporal punishment is frequently employed, such as blows with the butt of a rifle or forced running for periods up to two hours without stopping un der menace of the bayonct The evi- dcncc shows that the mortality among men subjected to these different forms of. mistreatment is alarming.

WASHINGTON, Aug. D. Signs arc in evidence of the dispatch oi President Wilson's reply to the peace proposals of the pope at an early date Officials freely concede the probabil- ity of an early completion of the communication, indicating that the president and Secretary Lansing have at least agreed upon the basic features of the reply. So far no authorized statement has been forthcoming as to its nature. Officials deprecate any speculation concerning 1t, but so far there has been no formal denial of the published report that Secretary Lansing had informed some of the diplomats that he hopes the proposals will be rejected.

 HAVRE, France, Aug. g.-"Tor- ture of the post" punishment in the tank" pretended execution by firing squad or exposure to storms without being properly clothed, are some oi the methods systematically used by the Germans to compel deportcd Bel gian civilians to labor for the German army, according to evidence which has been received by the Belgian gov ernment Another method is to apply corporal punishment aften with the butt of rife or to force the Belgians who refuse to work for Germany to run for two hours or less without stopping, mcnaced all the time with a bayonet
 According to the government an- nouncement this evidence accordS in all details and shows that deportcd Belgian civilians are systematically subjected to mistreatment in order to compel them to work Under this treatment many of the deporteeS sue cumb while a larger proportion are so weakened that they become in capable of physical effort
 The torture of the post" is de- scribed as one of the principal meas ures resorted to by the Germans. Stoutly fettered to posts, the men are exposed to heat, or cold, according to the season, for days together during which the food rations are reduced until they reach the proportions of a half ration only for two days subsis- tence

US. Navy To Lead World In Number Of.
 Its Destroyers.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. N.-Secre- tary Daniels expects to submit to congress this week estimates of S350,- 000,000 for the great number of de. stroyers which will make the Ameri. can navy the leader of the world in ships of that type.
 The money will be used to expand existing shipbuilding plants and build additional engine and boiler factories as the destroyer program upon which ;he shipbuilding industry is now en- gagged represents the full capacity of the industry.
 Navy designers are preparing plans for a standardized destroyer to facili- tate the quantity production of the most successful weapon against sub marines. Parts of the engines will be assembled from various factories at central plants and forwarded to ship yards building the hulls.
 Details of the number of destroyers now under construction or the num- Der contemplated in the supplemental program are withheld for military reasons.
 New destroyers will be delivered so rapidly, beginning early next year, that the supply of trained officers and men will be taxed in putting them into commission. Means for training new crews will have to be expanded pro- portionately. The S350,O00,000 esti- mate. it. was indicated today, is a minimum and may have to be in creased substantially.
