ALLIED HELP AHEAD OF ENEMY
Large Quantities Of Arms and AmJmu-
milton Sent to Czechs.

Washington-Inform reaching
Washington indicated that assistance
being sent to Czecho- Slovaks in the
Baikal region OF Siberia will reach
them in time to thwart the efforts of
German-Austrian prisoners and the
Bolsheviki, against whom they are
fighting.
1t was learned also that the Allies
are sending large quantities of arms
and ammunition to the Czechs, aud
that heavy artillery is included.
The program to re-establish the
eastern front, with aid of hundreds OF
thousands OF loyal Russians, is pro-
crossing far more rapidly than was
expected. The trans-Siberian railway
will play an important part in this re-
establishment.
That Germany appreciates the i'm
portance of the part that this road is
to play is shown in dispatch printed
in an Essen newspaper, and reported
from Amsterdam to the effect that
Soviet troops had blown up "the Bal
kal tunnel"
Members of the American engineers
commission are I'm the vicinity of Lake
Baikal and have been repairing
bridges that were destroyed or dam
aged, and doubtless are prepared to
repair any temporary damage.

ARMY ENDS SENIORITY RULE
Future Oficer Material VIII Come
From the Ranks of Enlisted Men.

,Washington.-Defnite abandonment
of the rule of seniority in favor of the
policy of selection in appointment and
commissioning of officers of the army
was announced in a general order is
sued by the war department. The
order also announces future officer
material will come from the ranks,
enlisted men showing exceptional
ability being sent to training schools
maintained for that purpose at which
commissions for grade of second lieu
tenant will be issued to successful
candidates.
Gallantry In action and demonstrate
ed fitness, the order says, may earn
commissions for enlisted men In ex-
ceptional cases. Vacancies in all
grades from first lieutenant to colonel
will be filed wherever possible by ap-
pointment of officers from the next
lower grade.
Recommendation for promotion are
to be made by a personnel board for
each regiment or larger unit to be
appointed by the commanding officer
of the unit, the board serving for not

U. S. WAR BOARD
WILL DEMAND STEEL
RAILROADS OF COUNTRY WILL
CONSUME LARGEST AMOUNT
OF OUTPUT.
6 MONTHS USE 100000 TONS
shipbuildlne Requirements Comes Next
On List With the War Depart
ment's Program Third.

Washington-The railroads of the
country will consume the largest
amount of steel required by the gov
eminent, the war industries board has
announced following secret confer
ence with the steel committee of the
American Iron and Steel institute.
Shipbuilding requirements come next,
with the war departments program
third and the navy fourth.
The meeting was called by Steel
Administrator Replogle to find means
of meeting in full, if possible, the
steel needs of the government and
the Allies. These demands for the last
six months of this year already
amount to more than 100000 tons,
and are rapidly approaching the 25,-
900 900 mark.
To remedy steel shortage. which
is so acute that actual requirements
cannot be met unless drastic action is
taken by the steel producers and the
government, according to officials, the
following measures were determined
as urgent:
First, greater conversion of mills to
the production of steel required In the
war program. This will necessarily
entail the elimination of many kinds
of steel now being made for non-war
industries.
Second, increase in coal supply, par
ticularly bi-product coal, available for
mills engaged in war work. Further
curtailment of non-war industries, COM
Wandering of boarded coal, and diver
sion Of bi-product coal from war indus
tries that could use poorer grades,
may have to be resorted to If this sit
uation is to be met. Shortage of this
grade of coal is serious, and declared
to be the crux of the admittedly alarm
ing steel shortage.
Third, shutting off of further steel
shipments to industries other than
those engaged in meeting war needs.
Steel Administrator Replogle virtual
ly has cut off this supply, refusing
even a pound of steel for other than
war purposes. In addition where large
stocks were obtained prior to the re-
strictions being placed on the lesser
essential industries, the government
may commander their stocks
Fourth, more rigorous conservation
in the handling of steel in the mills.

STATE LEADS IN FACTORY COAL
Michigan Has An Average Of Nine and
one-half Weeks Supply on Hand.

Lansing-Michigan has Jared better
than many other states in the ship
ments of coal, according to the follow
ing telegram received by Governor
Sleeper from State Fuel Administrator
Prudden, who is in Washington:
"At a meeting of state fuel admin
istrators with Dr. Garfield recently in
formation showed Michigan at the
head of the list in amount of indus
trial coal on hand, having an average
of nine and one-half weeks supply.
New England states next with nine
weeks. Regarding bituminous coal
for domestic use, orders have been
placed with operators in all the fields
from which we can procure coal and
shipments of "a large tonnage are be-
ing made each day.
There is no prospect of increased
allotment of anthracite. The feeling
of many administrators present is that
Michigan has been treated more liber-
ally than several surrounding states,
both as to allotments and shipments
OF hard and soft coal" e.

Lansing from countries

Learning Just Who the "Fresh
Old Guy" Was.

1t was at dance at the Waldorf
Astoria in New York, when some can
dies dripped and made quite a puddle
of grease on the floor. A gentleman
standing at the door Immediately took
out his knife and his handkerchief and
began scraping up the CONCEALED
grease, when very fresh young gen.
tleman in our "set" tapped the gentle
man on the shoulder and said: "Say,
old gentleman, you're interfering with
our Paul Jones. Suppose you cut that
out"
II was afraid some of the young la.
dies might Slip courteously answered
the "old gentleman"
"Well, they won't" answered
"Freshie." Besides, you're not rum
ming the hotel" The "old gentleman"
had gathered up all the grease by this
time and, giving no answer to the last
remark, left the room.

after the dance-"that old man."
"Not exactly fresh, but careful of his
guests; that's ALL" answered friend.

Paris.-British and German armies
are locked in a mighty battle over
25-mile front from Lihons, six miles
south of the Somme, to the Co1eul'
south of Arras.
This combat, which began with the
British attack against the enemy posi-
tions east of the Ancre river now has
spread into one of the greatest battles
of the allied offensive in Picardy.
1t is officially reported from London
that the British are making progress
at some points and that German at
tacks east of Beaucourt, at about the
middle of the battlefront, were re-
pulsed.
The British apparently are still on
the aggressive along the whole line.
French troops have occupied the
southern banks of the Disc and the
Ailette between Sempigny, south OF
Noyon, to the railroad bridge west to
Coucy-le- Chateau. South of Coucy-le-
Chateau they have reached the out
skirts of Guny and Pont st. Mard.
This progress brings them still
further toward the rear of the Ger
man forces holding the hills north of
scissors and within three miles of the
German positions north of Chemin
des Danes, as they stood before the
offensive OF May 81.
On the Lys front the British line
was slightly advanced east OF lie
Touret, northwest of Neuf Berquin
and east of Outtersteep.

Albert Retaken BY Hals.

London.-"Albert has been retaken
by u.s." was the triumphant message
from Field Marshal Haig in his Off
cial bulletin. II was the gladdest
news he has been able to report since
his famous back to the WALL order
in the Flanders crisis early this year.
For with the last German out of AL
bert, the last semblance of German
menace to Amiens is removed-the
distance between the two towns is 1S
miles.
Back toward and across the Ancre
Germans are fleeing, fighting seriously
only on the right flank, to keep their
center and left from caving in.
Back toward Cambria, where he has

General Byng is driving hard and fast,
he smashed forward two miles on a
six-mile front. Since his third army
launched the drive it has taken 5000
prisoners and made maximum ad-
vance of nearly five miles.
Between them the French and Brit
ish have taken we'll over 10000 pri-
soners in recent battles, according to
a reliable estimate. Two hundred
guns were taken by the French alone
since Tuesday.
While the British were "Bynging"
away at the stunned Teutons between
Arras and Albert, Mangin, with his
French Tenth army, kept pushing his
wide wedge deeper and deeper be-
tween the German Picardy and Aisne-
Vesle armies. His forces advanced
fully three additional miles and the

.FOCH PREVENTS GERMANS
REGAINING INITIATIVE

Paris.-Marshal Foch Is slowly,
deliberately battering German arms
to pieces. Remorselessly, ceaselessly,
the Allied generalissimo has been
driving home attack after attack in
various sectors, occasionally inter
mingling British, French and Ameri-
can troops.
Since July IS. when French and
Americans attacked between the
Aisne and the Marine, Ludendorff has
been continually scheming and plan.
ming an attempt to retake the power
of the initiative, which amounts to
% per cent, at least, in deciding the
campaign.
1t was Hindenburg who ordered tho
German crown prince to withdraw
from the Marine salient when Franco
American pressure menaced scissors.
He hoped then to retrieve enough
divisions to recommence the drive
elsewhere and regain the initiative
which he assumed March 81.
Halg and Debeney Strike.
But before that withdrawal was
completed to a straight line along the
Vesle between scissors and Rheims,
releasing a certain number of troops,
Haig and Debeney struck the Amiens
salient August 8, General Humbert fol-
lowing at Montdidier and then Man
gin, who had been shifted northward
from the Aisne-Marne battlefield,
thrust back the Germans in the region
where they were nearest to Paris, and
now the British are striking between
Albert and Arras
Nowhere is Foch releating Luden-
dorffs mistake of trying to over
develop his gains, such as following
up too closely and too swiftly his
initial smash.
SCATTERING the German army. 1t isn't
question of driving the Germans
back to the Rhine OF any other strong
natural defense line.
Hlndenburg Has 2o3 Division.
Hindenburg now has 2O3 divisions
out of total of 241 in line. The Rus
sian situation requires the presence
in the east of a certain number of
troops. Some of those 203 divisions
have been badly cut up, as. for in
stance, those now under command of
the duke of Wuerttemberg, trans
ferred to the north after they had
been gruelled under Rupprecht or
Frederick William, or both.
Hindenburg hoped that there would
be let-up in the Allies hammering
tactics after they had recaptured
Montdidier, and that he thus would
be enabled to gain time for incorpora-
ton in his army of the 1920 class,
comprising 100000 youths, along with
other units, as these fresh classes
cannot be used without plenty of stiff
ening by seasoned troops.
Instead, however the ceaseless at
tacks do not even permit temporary
withdrawal of experienced German
units for absorption OF youngsters OF
the 1920 class.
II Is estimated that IS per cent OF
Germany's electives are concentrated
