GERMANS ADMIT LOSS
 OF MANY SUBMARINES

Amsterdam, Sept 9-A semi-olri- cial German admiralty dispatch com enting on the list which the British admiralty published of 150 U-boat commanders whose vessels had been disposed of. avs that ther are some inaccuracies regarding the rank of the officers, which does not allow conclu- sions to be drawn of the number ot U-boats lost and continues:
 The German people know too well of the heavy fight which is neccssi- tated of our U-boat crews and that sacrifices have to be made by them in increasing numbers. We regret the loss of the U-boats, but it can be un- dertood by all experts in view of the growing counter measures and the greater number of U-boats sent out against the enemy. Serious reflection would only be justified if the con- struction of U-boats did not surpass the number destroyed

GERMANS CONTINUE TO
 RELY ON COUNTER ATTACK
NEW MEASURE FAILS TO STOP THE ADVANCE OF THE FRENCH
 AND BRITISH.

London, Sept. 9-The battle on the western front is entering a new phase The enemy al last is making serious stand just short of the series of posi- tons commonly called the Hinden- burg line-positions which, however, already have been bitten into by the British from the Sensee to Mouvros and touched by the French in the St. GoGain region at Servais and Bas- soles-Aulers.
 The Germans are boudling their tear guards and seeking by counter attacks to slow up, if they cannot stop outright the encroaching tide oI the allies Their efforts have been in vain, notwithstanding the new measures adopted, in checking the advance of the French and the Brit ish for both pushed forward yester- day in the direction of St Quentine The French made such progress across the Crozat canal that the en- emy no longer can hope to defend it.
 General Humbert's center is at the gates of LaFere and General Man gins left is beginning to creep around the St. GObain forest by the west, while his right beat off the enemy's attacks from which the Germans sought to cling to the Aisne front. More of such attacks are probable, Lut General Mangin will know how to deal with them They are local affairs end a more serious effort Is not likely to be made.
 General Ludendorff is working for the respite which he must have if he is to sort out his disorgainzed divis- ions and try to whip up some sort of stragetic reserve
 This hespite, he hopes, his short enCd front requiring less men in line will give him.
 Marshal Foch is likely to be aware however, whether the enemy is sui ficently weakened and demoralized to be smashed in at some part Of the present battle front. or whether a stroke elsewhere will be advisable, thus giving a rest to the armies that have fought so indeGatguably for the past two months

With the American Forces on the Aisne Front, Sept. 9.-ln the face of the stiffest machine gun fire since the Americans crossed the Vesle in force, American infantrymon today advanced at certain points on curved line eX- tending from Glennes to Vieil-Arcy.
 The advance was preceded by heavy artillery bombardment which continued all Sunday night.
 From the plateau the Americans took up positions in the rayines which drain northward, but the advance Vas necessarily cautious. owing to the commanding positions of La Petite Montague, which is the highest point in that region. The French and Amer ican artillery bombarded this noun tain where the Germans had built strong emplacements for heavy ma chine guns and also kept up contin- uous fire upon all points where the German artillery had been endeaYOrlr 2 to hold back the advancing infantry
 During the day the Germans threw shells into Fishes. Bazoches Blanzy and other places in an effort to check the allied troop movement There was a strong direct fire from IaPetite Montague The machine gunners blazed away but the American de tachments made headway at intervals by keeping under any possible cover and not attempting to go ahead in large numbers.

BOARDS HAVE RIGHT TO

Washington, Sept. 9.--The new pri- critics classification of industry an- nounced yesterday by the war indus tries board, will not bind district draft boards in determining deferred classification on occupational grounds of men between the ages of IS and 45 years who register Thursday. Tho boards may determine that other in- dustries are necessary, but in grant ing deferred classification. they must satisfy themselves that the- -iravstf5- Is necessary and that the individual registratant is essential to the indus try.
 These facts were disclosed by Pro- vost Marshal General Crowder's plans for applying more liberal occupa- tional scheme in classifying the new registrants, which was made public today The regulations say:
 'Priorities lists shall not be regard cd as binding upon the district boards in its conclusions as to whether or not any particular industry, occupation or employment, including agriculture, Is a necessary industry, occupation or employment within the meaning. of the law and regulations, nor shall such lists prevent the district board from holding as necessary any in- dustr.y, occupation or employment, in- cluding agriculture. not contained there in"
 The regulations say registrant shall be considered entitled to ex- emption only when completely en- gagged" in an occupation the boards class as essential and when the available supply of persons competent in the capacity is such that the regis- trant cannot be replaced without di- rect loss to the effective operation of the enterprise
 Further restricting the granting ot deferred classification on industrial grounds, the regulations notify boards that they should consider among otl- CT things the length of time regfs- trant has been in employment and become convinced that he is mot now so engaged for the primary purpose of avoiding military service.'
 In general the regulations fix the place of necessary workman in necessary occupation in class II: the place of an expert or assistant man ager or divisional head in class III; in the place of sole manager or di- rector in class "

Paris, Sept g. UIavas) With the allies immediately before, or ap- preaching the IIindenburg line the enemy is beginning to react more violently with his artillery Never theless, the French are pushing ahead in the region where the line has not yet been attained and according to the latest information were a little more than five miles from St. Quen- tin, their guns following the infantry up speedily. The Germans evidently intend to defend St. Quentin en- ergetically and are fighting in the approaches to the town, besides regrouping their forces and concen- trating numerous divisions in its present oxtension

Washington, Sept. 9.-During debate on the war revenue bill in the house today Representative Fordney, of Michigan, in charge of the republican side, launched an attack on President Wilson and George Greet The pres ident, Mir. Fordney declared, was the only official of the government for whom politics had not been adjourned Mr. Greet, he charged, was circulating free trade tariff literature through the committee on public information
 Attacks on Mr Creel's bureau rained from the republican side, white the committee was roundly defended by speakers from the democratic side. lThe incident quite displaced the de- bate on the revenue bill. Excessive taxation and failure to raise tariff rates were emphasized by Representative Fordney, who said the bill proposed to secure f5 Der cent ($1s,000, 0,00O,O0O, exclusive of allied loans), by taxation.
 As alleged cxtrayagance in expend- itures MT Fordney cited government contracts some, he said, netting profits up to 1000 per cent.
 There were touches of politics in to- days discussion.
 While partisanship had not enteyedI into the framing of the bill, Repre- sentative Fordney charged that Pres ident Wilson alone has shown par tlsan politics. and MT. Moore de- clared that the republican minority was helpless in framing the bills.
 Representative Moore called attcn-l tion to the aircraft expenditures andI "cost plus" contracts covering con- tractors taxes.
 Urging an investigation of govern ment contracts which includes taxes on contractors expenses, Representa- tive Madden of Illinois declared theyI 'are not only an outrage but also anI iniquity."
 Suggestions by MT Moore for al tax of & q bale on cotton stirred upI members from the cotton states. Rep representative Hardy of Texas, pro- tested that wheat and corn were not taxed and Representative Grip, of Georgia. declared cotton growers were patriotic enough to pay a tax, but it would be unfortunate,
 Representative Moore. citing Pres ident Wilson's revenue address to congress declared the presidents hand in the preparation of the bill is plainly evident"
 "It would not have come to the house Tn it's present form if the re- sponslbility had rested upon a repub- lican administration" he said.

MAINE REPUBLICANS
 REMAIN IN CONTROL.

Portland. Me, Sept. 9.--The demo- crats made deep inroads in the re- publican vote in the election in Name today, but early returns indicated that they had failed to wrest control from the republicans. On the face of tns figures from more than half the state it appeared that United states Sea- ator Bert M. Fernald. republican. aLd probably all four republican congress- men had been returned to office.
 The reelection of Governor Carl k. Milliken by a plurality of about $500 is indicated by the early returns. Two years ago he had plurality of more than 13.000 votes
 Early legislative returns indicated that the republicans would continue in control of both branches.

With the British Army in Francr, Sept. 9-Although little strips ot ground have been gained here and there along the lines that zigg-z1gs their way across Artois and Picardy, the British troops generally we're sta tionary today. X heavy rain whipped along by chilly wind has covered the battlefield with a coating of mud, This Is a country badly torn by shells and of itself would necessarily result in a slower movement even if it were not necessary for the advanced troops to consolidate their positions
 In actions of maneuvers such as the British as well as the French to the south are engased in pauses or this kind are inevitable.
 Meanwhile fresh German divisions have made their appearance in this region so It may be expected that the resistance will become stiffer As a matter of fact not a great deal or ground remains to be captured before the Germans will be pushed back completely on the Hindenburg line.
 Generally speaking, the British ar mics are now about five miles away from the center of the Germans much boasted defense ssytem.
 British guns in addition to laying 1Ip the British infantry positions and the IIindenburg line, are vigorously ham mering the enemys rear. The British artillery, firing on the forward enemy areas, has created great havoc.
 Where the British troops have ad- yanccd they have at many times come upon patches of ground whore torn bodies of men, broken machine guns. dented helmets, equipment, cartridge cases and clips are all mixed up to- gether as though they had passed through some gigantic mangle. This is the toll the British artillery takes when the foe leaves his machine gun ners in pockets for rear guard ac- tions.
 The enemy has by no means even started to recover from the shocks ne has received day after day since the British offensive began and it is con idered more than likely that new ct- visions have been thrown in through the desire to stilfen the German mo- rale, quite as much as stiffen the line for a time. The principal activity to- day was in the areas around Gouza- court. The high ground overlooking Gouzacourt and the wood of the same name to the northwest. were captured The British guns from this section are able to direct an enfilading fire on the enemy positions to the south
 Newly captured German documents disclose that the enemy is not quite satisfied with himself or with his de - fene and his line is literally honey combed with deep dugouts. An order issued by a German general of division apparently acting under orders from the higher command, expressly forbids the troops to occupy dugouts which descend lower than eight steps un' derground. The general appears to have been much worried on the suo- jcct and goes into great detail in or dering such dugouts closed up, otherwise made useless for the troops
