mile was started in United States dis
trict court here by the Grand Rapids,
Grand Haven & Muskegon Railway

The railway company claims that

penses having increased and revenue
having decreased, and that to con-
tinue to force the railway company to
conform to the two.cent fere is prac-
tically confiscatory. Figures offered

New Reserves Thrown In.

Paris.-New German reserves have
been thrown into the battle to oppose
the French and American advance be-
tween the Aisne and the Marne. the
French war office announced. In spite
of them the allies are making sen.
sible progress and are capturing a
large number of prisoners
Along the whole front between the
Aisne and the Marine. the battle con-
tinues with violence.
On the front between Rheims and
the Marne, the French have recap
tured Montvoisin and made progress
in the Roi Wood and the Courton
Wood capturing four cannon and 400
prisoners. South OF the Marine, by
vigorous attack, the French have
elected the enemy from the outskirts
Of Oeuilly. Between Rheims and the
Marine, Italian troops have taken
Moulin d'Ardre, south of Marfaux and
northwest OF Pourcy.

About 20 Divisions Engaged

Paris-About 20 enemy divisions
were engaged in fighting between
Rheims and Chateau Thierry and the
same number between Rheims and
Massiges. Other divisions were in re-
serve and ready to enter the battle.
All the divisions have been identified
as representing the elite of the Ger.
man army, showing Germany delivered
and extremely powerful effort. All the
divisions suffered heavily.
Never before were enemy losses so
high. Piles of bodies cover the ground.
The fighting of t1e Americans and Ital-
ians was extremely brilliant.
In the region of Prunay heavy at.
lacks of the enemy were repulsed out
right. German losses at that point
are estimated as So per cent Of the eff
fectives engaged.
Attacks by machine guns and bombs
we're carried out on conveys and col
umns debouching on the north bank OF

brought down or put out Of action and

U. S. STEEL SHORTAGE ACUTE
steel Throughout Nation VIII Be In
Ventorled-Ships Held Up.

Washington-Invent of all steel
on hand in the country is being de-
manded by the government at once,
together with estimates of the amount
of steel to be needed the coming year
The government also is taking stock
Of its own supplies and needs. The
war industries board is back of the
move.
A shortage of steel already is being
felt in some shipyards. Others have
more steel than they need, which Off
Gals believe is the result of the cost
plus" system of contracts, under which
the builders felt free to expend large
sums on materials not needed for
many weeks
Recently an inventory of stocks was
taken with a view of equalizing the
supply of material, but no great help
was forthcoming from the facts re-
vealed, and Chairman Hurley has or
dered another inventory as a check
on the first.
Other departments of the govern
ment also are checking up their sup
plies of material. A tendency to
hoard" has been observed on the part
of some government agencies, as well
as the public, which it is hoped to pre-
vent in the future by exact knowledge
of requirements and strict allotment
of output.
Additions OF steel mills now being
made will add 100000 tons to the an
nual output in a few months, but Off
Gals do not believe that will be suffi-
cient to take care of the increased de-
mand.

$1,4OO,OOO,OOO
FOOD SENT ABROAD
AMERICAN WOMEN PLAYED I'M
PoRTANT PART | NJ SACRIFICES
TO ACCOMPLISH RESULTS.
l3l,O0O,ooO BUSHELS OF WHEAT
The Shipments Represent Those
Made to Allied Armies and
Civil Population.

Washington-Food valued at APP
proximately 100000 was sent to
the Allied countries from the United
States during the fiscal year which
ended June 80, Herbert c. Hoover,
national food administrator, wrote
President Wilson in a letter review
ing the work of the Food Administra-
tor, just made public. The shipments
represent those made for the Allied
armies and civil population, Belgium
relief, Red Cross and the American
military forces.
The American women had a DOM
inent part in the sacrifices necessary
to accomplish these results, Mr.
Hoover wrote, although il is difficult
to distinguish between the factors
contributing-the homes, public eat
ing places. food trades, urban OF ag-
ricultural populations.
The shipments OF meats and fats
to Allied destinations were, for the
fiscal year OF 1867, 2,166, 500, 900
pounds, and for the fiscal year of
1878, 3,O11, 100000 pounds, an in
crease of 100000 pounds.
The increase in shipments OF meat
was made possible through conserva-
ton and the extra weight of animals
due to farmers efforts, Mr.. Hoover
pointed out.
Cereals and cereal products in
terms of cereal bushels were shipped
as follows: In the fiscal year of
1861, 59,900,000 bushels. and in
the fiscal year of 1918, 34O,S00, 900
bushels, which represents an increase
of 80,900,000 bushels.
or these amounts for the last fiscal
year, 100000 bushels of wheat
were sent, and 100000 bushels Of
rye. Ten million bushels OF wheat, it
is estimated, are now in port destined
for Europe or enroute. making the
total of 1917 wheat shipped about
14I000,000 bushels, or $4,000, 900
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In addi-
tion 100000 bushels of wheat were
sent to neutrals.

100000 OF WOMEN IN FIELDS
Rowland e. Prothero Says 100000
Women Are Working the Fields.

London.-More than 100000 women
are engaged on land in Great Britain
compared with $1,000 last year, Row
land E. Prothero, president OF the
Board of Agriculture. told the House
of Commons in discussing the esti.
mates OF the agriculture department
recently. There also Is a large in
crease in the number of soldiers, Ger
man prisoners and interned aliens
doing agriculture work.
The speaker added that the diff
Guilty was that while the shortage of
labor might be made good to some
extent, the quality could not be made
good.
Instead OF a considerable decline
as in 1916" said the minister, Eve
have increased the arabic area of the
country by 2,142,0O0 acres. We have
an increase OF the wheat area OF 49,
600 acres, barley $4,000 acres and
oats $4,000 acres.
I'VE have not neglected crops for
live stock. These crops have increas-
ed by 100000 acres. Potatoes have
increased by $4,000 acres, an in
crease OF so per cent or q per cent
above the highest on record"
The position of the Allies with re-
gard to food, subject to the harvest
being an average one, said the min
lister, was decidedly better than in
1917, or 1916, and the relief to British
tonnage by not having to bring sup
plies from America was also OF the
greatest material assistance.

JAP VIEWS ON RUSSIA SECRET
According TO Dispatches Japan Has
Practically Accepted v. S.
Proposals.

Washington and London
dispatches announcing that japan has
practically accepted the proposals OF
the United States as to the method Of
extending military aid to Russia in
Siberia have not altered the deter
mination OF the government to permit
no announcements on the subject.
Further than an official admission
that negotiations have been going on
for some time with Great Britain,
Japan and France, looking to the
adoption of common policy, abso-
lutely nothing was made available for
publication
Plans Two,FoId.
Tokio.-According to information in
Toxic, the plans of the United States
in Russia are two-fold: First, military
assistance to the Czecho-Slovaks, and,
second, general economic help to
Russia.
The United States is described as
being OF the feeling that the Czecho-
Slovaks should not be abandoned
while they are striving to reach their
aim. 1t is said there is no desire OH
the part OF the American government
to intervene in Russian affairs, but
that it favors the dispatch of suffic-
lent forces to leave the Czecho-Slo-
vaks free to insure the safe arrival
OF their comrades from the interior
The impression here is that Japan,
in a spirit of cooperation with the
Allies, will follow the suggestion, and,
like the Americans, send troops.
Great Britain and France, it is said,
also will send small contingents so
as to make the movement inter-Allied.
Many Japanese leaders, however,
favor more extensive military move.
ments in Siberia than have been sug-
gested by the United States. Their
ideas are based on combating the
eastward extension of German infiu-
ence and the safeguarding of Japan's
interests.

IN TRAVERSE CITY CASE 81.
PREME COURT HOLDS STATE
NOT CITY HAS RIGHT TO
FIX PHONE RATES.
BOND ISSUE $4,000 PASSED
BY THE PEOPLE WAS UPHELD
Circuit Judge West Decision in
Traverse City Phone Rate
Raise Was Sustained BY
the Supreme Court

Lansing $750,0O0 library
bonds were upheld by the supreme
court Thursday. $1,000,OOO in school,
bonds were knocked out, involving
S4,000,000 more that would have been
issued mad the court upheld the bonds,
and city's right to control telephone
rates was rigidly limited by the court
in decision affirming that in
Traverse City case the state railroad
commission alone and not the city
has the right to fix telephone rates.
All these decisions affecting Detroit
directly or indirectly came down in
a grist OF opinions Thursday.
In the case of the library bonds the
court upheld special act OF the legis-
lature because it carried with it re-
ferendum of the people in the district
it affected and affected solely. The
act in question could not touch any
other city but Detroit, but the bond
issue of $750,O00 was passed by the
people, so it is upheld.
In the school bond question a re-
ferendum was missing and there was
these bonds hinged on an act OF the
1915 legislature, by which the old
school law of Detroit of 1859 was
amended so as to provide for bond
carrying a maximum of 6 per cent,
instead of 4 per cent interest. The
supreme court holds that the act OF
1915 was unquestionably local and
| oil ut oil a
power of the legislature as regards
school matters.
In the Traverse City case, the rail
road commission, on the application
of the Citizens Telephone company
raised rates. These rates greatly ex-
ceeded the figure named in the origi-
nal franchise between the city OF
Traverse City and the telephone CON-
pany. The city maintained that the
commission had no authority to over
ride that agreement Circuit Judge
West decided the commission was
right and the supreme court sustains
| him.
The city of Grand Rapids won a
peculiar case involving the death Of
Roy Heino, aged s, who was drowned
in one OF the swimming pools in
city park. His father sued the city
! for damages, but the supreme court
holds he has no action, the city not
being liable inasmuch as the main
tenance of the swimming pool was
merely a governmental function for
which the city was not liable by rea-
son of the negligence of its servants.
The supreme court also reversed
the conviction of Augusta H. De-
Goegnaga, of Kalamazoo, convicted
of adultery, and directed a new trial
AS the result OF another decision by
the court the estate of Paul p. Hickey,
who was killed by d. U. R. car in
Detroit, July 4, 1915. will receive dam
ages to the amount of $1,000.
The conviction of George Vail, OF
Van Buren, couRty of storing liquor
in his garage in violation of the Pray
law. also was affirmed.
In the case OF the Detroit Land
Contract company, versus County
Treasurer Green. of Wayne county,
the court held that a mortgage tax
must be paid on the entire amount
OF land contract.
