WAR WORK BASIS


Denver, Colo. July 19.-The Colo
RADIO Metal and Mining association to-
day received letter from Edward b.
Parker, priorities commissioner OF the
war industries board. placing the min
ing industry especially that of gold.
on a war work. basis.
The letter read:
"The war Industries board Is alive
to the importance of increasing gold

now has in press a circular revising
the rules and regulations governing

priorities board at it's meeting next
Tuesday that formal action be taken
classifying the gold mining industry
as an essential war industry. that
such industry may receive preferen-
tiaI treatment not only in tools. ma

in Next Few Months,
GREAT DRIVE AGAINST
AUTOCRACY IS TO COME
RumorS of SoiSSonS' Fall and
the Capture of 10000 Pris-
oners by Foch's Men Are
Not Confirmed Here.

Washington, July 19.-War de-
partment officials expect the real
counter move against the Germans
to be launched later this year. This
was diclosed to members of the house
military committee by General March,
chief of staff. who indicated that the
employment of possibly eight Ameri-
can divisions in the present double
battle on the Aisne- Marne- Rheims
front would not affect materially
plans to hurl overwhelming man
power into the great struggle to come.
1t was made plain that the smash
ing attack of Franco-American forces
on the Aisne- Marne line is as yet re-
garded as only minor operation. The
success of the drive launched yester-
day by General Foch. however. has
already been startling. Official re-
ports from Paris tonight said 1900
| prisoners and $50 guns had been cap
tured. The Berlin statement admitted
French advances. but ignored Ameri-
can participation and claimed 10000
| prisoners had been taken by the Ger
mans in their drive launched last
Monday. Apparently the enemy com
lp,anders, ,sdarf, not admit .to.othe. Ges-
man people that American armies are
already fighting over a long front
and scoring repeated successes over
veteran German divisions.
| Further Advances Made?
| Reports late in the day from Lon
don and Paris indicated that further
advances had been made by the
Franco American forces during the
day. Official advices from General
Pershing led to the hope that Sois-
sons, nearly ten miles inside the Ger
man lines night before last. would be
in allied hands within a short time
Rumors that il had already fallen and
10000 additional German prisoners
had been taken were in circulation
but no additional advices from Gen
eral Pershing had arrived at late
hour. Mr. Baker indicated that high

HOgS Make New High.

Hogs at $50. 40 established new high
record on the Baltimore livestock en-
change Monday. The supply was light,
receipts for the week being 8, 54S head as
against IL ,004 head last week. The mar
ket for good cattle was steady at last
week S prices, with common and medium
off from 25 to so cents hundred, con-
dition which has characterized Eastern
and Western markets throughout the
week. AS was anticipated, runs were
heavier, 4, l07 head having been received
as against 2,777 head last week.
1t is generally believed by the Balti-
more dealers that the better class OF
Western cattle has been drained, altho
there are plenty of good cattle in the
country, notably in West Virginia, which
will be brought to market if farmers are
encouraged by good prices. Large ship
ments of range cattle are looked for.

The Chautauqua.
Sunday Evening Song Service
Well Attended.

The Thurmont Chauta uqua opened its
season this week with song service in
the tent on Sunday evening. A large
crowd of persons assembled and listened
attentively to an address delivered by
DR.. E. T. Reed of Westminster, vice.
president of the National Defense Coun-
Gil of Maryland. DR.. Reed spoke OF the
war and particularly of the morale OF the
American boys in camps here and IN
the trenches in France.
Following his address Prof E. W.
Smith. Chautauqua Director, made a
few brief remarks.
The meeting was opened by Rev. E. U.
Pritchett, local Chautauqua chairman
Rev. G. E. Smith of the United Brethren
church offered prayer. Rev. Dr. Heimer,
of the Reformed church was absent be-
cause of a Red Cross service at Mt. Tabor
church at Rocky Ridge. Special vocal
selections were sung by Mrs. E. o..
Pritchett, Mrs. H. D. Beachley and Miss
Lillian Kefauver. Hymns of patriotic
character were sung by the audience.
The Monday meetings of the Chautau-
qua were fairly we'll attended. The
program-a lecture by Mrs. Paulsen
and concert by the Hawaiian Serenaders
was splendid. The question asked by
Mrs Paulsen, "ls Thurmont town or
community" and her definition of town
and community should set our people to
thinking. We certainly have been
town according to her explanation of
the word and really everybody should get
out of the old order of thing. Flown
-cliques; "community" mutual welfare
interest.
The Tuesday and Wednesday attrac-
tions were very pleasing and the attend
ance at all sessions was really more than
expected Tuesday evening black clouds
and heavy thunder kept country people
home, and the same conditions prevailed
Wednesday evening.
So far as the Chautauqua is concerned
it may truly be termed a success and has
benefited those who attended. From a
financial point. the guarantors have been
called on to pay several dolla RS each, but
not one of them forced into bankruptcy,
and we believe every one is backing the
proposition for one year hence.

Need For Wheat Never Ends

The U. S. Department of Agricult-
ure has announced its latest wheat
crop statistics, telling of a wheat
yield far in excess of that of 1917 and
better than the average yield of other
years, 1915 alone excepted.
All this is encouraging.
But it should not encourage any
loyal American to eat wheat.
There are important reasons why
we should consume less wheat now
than at amy time since Food Admin
istrator Hoover first asked for wheat
less meals, wheatlcss bread, wheat
less days.
The biggest of these reasons is:
Our wheat supply is now lower than
it ever has been at this time of the
year. Reserves of wheat in the Uni
ted States are nearly exhausted. The
visible supply is down to the unheard
of level, only l,liG, 900 bushels. A
year ago at thistine we had 2S, 1885, =
900 in American warehouses.
The wheat now being cut and the
wheat that already has been harvest
ed in Texas and Oklahoma has not
Lccn thrcshrd. 1t still stands in the
shocks in fields, awaiting the coming
of the threshcr. Then it must 60 to
terminal markets and from there to
flour mills. That will take weeks OF
time. In the meanwhile we have Il
little over one million bushels wheat,
about one bushcl to every 100 per-
sons in this country.
And of our small stores we must
continue giving wheat to our allies.
If you want to help win this war
If you want to be a true Marylander
don't eat wheat in any form.
Only one million bushels of wheat
left, and they who are fighting for
our lives and our honor in the hell
Of battle in France are hungry for
bread.
Won't you be a Marylander who
refuses to eat any wheat at all at
least until this years crop reaches
the -four millsP
