Washington, July 17.-Differ-
ences between Chairman Denman Of
the Shipping Board and Major Cen
eral Goethals, manager of the
boards fleet corporation, which
have halted the governments ship
building program, apparently were
far from settlement tonight.
General Goethals, who yesterday
postponed his plans for constructing
two great government shipbuilding
plants and for requiring ships now
building, made no move today to-
ward going ahead with his progc4 Z.
Nor would he add to his statement
of last night that Mr.. Denman had
asked for delay to- give the Shipping
Board time to go over his plans.
Chairman Denman put the whole
responsibility for the delay on
General Goethals, who he charged
was slow in furnishing information
asked of him yesterday concerning
his plans. At the same time he made
it clear that the Shipping Board, as
holder of the stock in the fleet cor

program carefully before giving it

Austro- Germans capturing it, but
later being driven out by the Rus
sian reserves.
Heavy artillery fighting continues
along the northern front around
Riga, Divinsk and Smorgon, but as
yet the extent Of the operations has
not been revealed in any Of the off,
cial communications.
In Rumania, along the Danube,
Russian scouts captured the village

SOUTHERN SECTORS
SHOW INTENSITY
IN THE FIGHTING
A Mile Front Near Verdun
Taken By The French
Germans Destroy Trenches

There has been no relaxation in
/ the intensity of the fighting be-
tween the French and the Germans
on various sectors of the southern
line in France from the region of
scissors eastward through the
Champagne and into the district
northwest of Verdun centering
about the famous Hill 3O4.
Victories are recorded for both
sides-for the Germans along the
Loan-Soissons read in the penetra-
ton and destruction of French
trenches and in Champagne, north
of Mont Teton, where the forces of
Crown Prince previously had been
repulsed with heavy casualties, and
for the French in the Verdun sector
where General P>tain's forces in
mighty effort took enemy lines on
front of mile and half to depth
of about two-thirds of mile.
The success of the Germans north
of Mont Teton was obtained through
persistent counter-a.tacks on posi-
tions they had lost last Saturday, in
which their losses had been extreme
ly heavy. While the German war
Office assers that all the old German
positions were recaptured, the Paris
official communication declares that
the troops of the Crown Prince only
regained footing at certain points
in the trench elements.
Artillery duels and small opera
tions carried out by raiding parties
continue to feature the situation on
the line where the British are facing
the Germans. Intense air fighting is
still in progress in this region, in the
latest of which six German ma
chimes were driven down out of con-
troll by British airmen, whose ma
chimes all returned from their
forays. ,
The Russians in East Galicia have
been forced for strategic reasons to
evacuate the town of Kalusz and
take up position on the southern side
of the Lomnica. The important
crossing of the Lomica was made Sc
cure by the troops of General Brusi-
loft after they made their retreat.
Previous to retiring the Germans
had carried out persistent attacks
on Kalusz, but the Russians had re-
pulsed all of them. Serious fighting

SEVEN STATES ARE
LATE WITH ARMY
DRAFT RETURNS
Report And Action Is E1-
pected Before The End
OF This Week

Washington, July 17.-All but
seven Of the states had reported
completion Of their local exemption
machinery tonight, encouraging Off
cials in their hope that drawing of
lots to determine the order Of liza
bility under the selective conscrip-
ton law may be made before the end
Of the week. Four states reported
ready today, and the War Depart
ment had been informed that in
those remaining to report only a
few local districts are missing.
The scheme Of the drawing to be
held in Secretary Bakers Office vir-
tually has been completed, and de-
tails may be announced tomorrow.
Secretary Bakers final approval is
yet to be given, but Provost Marshal
General Crowder may reveal enough
of the details to guide newspapers
in preparing to publish the result,
and to inform registrants what facts
they must ascertain to know their
exact position on the liability list.
While these preparations are 60
ing forward, sentiment apparently
is growing in Congress for amending
the conscription act to make aliens
liable for service or otherwise to re-
lieve the requiremtns on communi-
ties with large foreign population.
Bills have been prepared in both
Senate and House, but the admins
tration has not indicated that it will
favor any change. Many officials
hold to the opinion, on the ether
hand, that to compel aliens to serve
would be a violation Of internation-
al law:

CAR SHORTAGE GIVEN TEN.
PORARY RELIEF

New orlsans, La. July 1s.-
Temporary relief afforded in the
car situation BY the plnsage Of the
Esch bill, which wss followed by the
sending Of several thousand empty
cars to the South, is expected "a
continue probably through July.
Afterwsrd, according to the general
belief prevailing among manufac-
turers Of Southern Pine, the short
age in rolling stock will become
tighter than it was before.
This will be due in part to the
heavy movement Of government ma
terials expected during August, and
the Communicating Of many cars
which would otherwise go into the
domestic trade. The government or
ders, which will move in the near fu-
ture, will cake up practically all the
available supply, and the railroads
frankly state that they are forced to
be interested primarily in the gov
eminent business,> and of necessary
general trade must be subordinated
to the needs of the nation.
Another factor lumberman are
considering is the perennial demand
on the roads for moving crops, which
will set in about August. The move
ment of foodstuffs will be given
precedence over lumber.

SHOE RETAILERS WAITING
FOR BIG BREAK IN LEATHER

This ysar il the most critical per
ioA Of tAs retail shoe business; lesth.
q now ageFagss about 1l2 pei
cent. higher than 1915 Of normal
prices. Shoes for men and women
which were retailed in 1916 for 81
to 81 if bought on present prices Of
leather would be sold from 81 to 81,
and finer shoes At proportionate
prices. The majority of customers
cannot pay this advance. Medium
and low grade shoes, as a whole,
average rs per cent. of the total
shoes sales and are sold to those who
cannot pay higher prices; necessity
will force them to wear old shoes
to which the average person has
many, or they will have shoes re-
paired. A large retailer in Hoston
stated that work in their repair de.
partment had already increased 400
Fer cent.
AS yet the public has not rur.
chased shoes at greatly advanced
prices, as retailers present stocks
were manufactured from leathe,
which cost not over two-thirds Of
present prices; not till fall will the
customers be put to the test of buy
ing shoes at exorbitant prices. Not
withstanding, the large increased
earnings in many lines Of business
and the widely advertised increased
wages, at least IS per cent. of the
consumers have not averaged an in
crease of over Is per cent. in their
income. With the cos: of living in
creased 40 per cent. or more, the
majority Of the consumers are fac
ing a living problem that cannot be
avoided, and they cannot buy shoes
next fall at the increased cost nsces-
sary. if retailers purchase on pres
ent prices of feathers.
If present conditions were allow
ed to continue, the cost per annum
to the consumers for shoes of the
same quality as formerly worn
would be over $5O1OOO,0OO more
than was paid for the same number
Of pairs bought in 1915; but both
retailers and consumers have a red
ress-they can refuse to buy until
leather breaks to at least two-thirds
Of present prices; or the Govern
ment can protect the consumer by
placing an embargo on shipments OF
leather in any form from this coun-
try.

III sendin4 out the bulletin Com
missioner M. L. Alexander says: !:
"The state Of Louisiana has been
blessed along with other valuable
resources, with an abundance of fish
life. The Importance of fish as a
food looms large today when the
high cost Of living has become a
matter of national consideration,
and the Department of Conservation
deems it timely topic for bulle-
tin setting forth the palatability, the
nutritive value and above all the
economy of this valuable food of the
sea-"
The bulletin first deals with the
many species of salt water fish for
which Louisiana is famous, and fore
most among these is the delicious
pompane, considered by many the
finest food fish from the Gulf
waters if not the waters of the
world. The resume Of the fish in
clude the sea trout, reddish, red
snapper, sheepshead, croaker, null
let, amber jack, founder, Spanish
mackerel, bule fish, tarpon, drum,
sea bass, and-this will be I. surprise
to many-the sting ray or stingaree.
After enumerating these above
named fish, and others, and how
they Iasy be angled for, some IA
nous Louisiana fish recipes are CIV
en-, including Creole courtbouillon,
bouillabaisse, baked sheephead a Ia
Creole, broiled Spanish mackerel,
etc. A list at the end of the bulletin
tells the proper way of cooking the
different fish.
The bulletin urges the people Of
Louisiana to eat fish for the. follow
ing reasons: Because it's nutritious,
digestible, cheap, plentiful, easily,
and quickly cooked, is a volunteer
crop, constantly increasing and well
and because it's delicious
" good.
While the present bulletin deals
only with the salt water food and
game fishes of the state, the De-
partment Of Conservation an
that the next bulletin, which
$ now being prepared, will deal with
he different fresh water fish of
Louisiana and the preparation Of
'uch for the table. The bulletin is is
