 MORALES, Ariz., Aug. 2s.-Across the width of an unpaved street, Mexi- can and American sentries patrol their posts tonight, the Mexican sentries challenge of alto" being echoed by the command of halt" the English equivalent, as struggling civilians ap- proach too near the border.
 The twin towns of Nogales. Ariz.- and Nogales, Sonora, are armed camps tonight, and the bugle calls from the Mexican and American camps may be heard plainly from opposite sides of the boundary. Except for an unusual number of soldiers buying ice cream cones and red soda pop in the stores and an absence of women and chil- dren from the streets at the hour moving picture shows closed, the American town pursued its normal routine tonight. General CabelPs statement that everything was quiet and he anticipated no further trouble, had quieting effect upon the civilian population, who had been under the stress of excitement since Tuesday afternoon.
 Over in Mexico the quiet of the tomb enveloped the little town of adobe and brick. The port was re- opened yesterday afternoon and many of the Mexican residents of NogSles, Sonora, who worked on the American side, returned to their homes after a night and day spent in the plaza here after the port was closed Tues day. No one was permitted on the streets there tonight except soldiers.

COUNTY BOARD
 WILL MEET AT
 DOUGLAS TODAY
East, Clark and WiIbert Will Figure on County's Quota of Skilled and Unskilled Labor

A meeting at which the quota of skilled and unskilled labor for Cochise county will be figured out by James II. East and Harry A. Clark of Doug las, and R. J. Wilbert of Bisbee, mem bers of the Bisbee-Douglas community labor board, will take place this morn ing in Douglas. In the belief of MT. Wnbert, great difficulty will be expe- rienced in this county in gathering the desired quota, as the men are not here. However, this will be threshed over along with other points, at to- days meeting
 The instructions sent out by the federal director of labor for Arizona, includes the list of names of the heads of the county boards, under whose Gi- rection the various volunteer agents of the United States public service reserve should work. MT. East is the director for this county.
 Under the rules, the county direc- tor is responsible to the federal ci- rector of the state All reports and correspondence of enrolling agents in this county should be transmitted through Mir. East, as county director, and by him will be forwarded to the state director in Phoenix. In order to simplify the mailing of calls for cer- tain classes of workers and technical men, these will be sent direct to en- rolling agents. Applications and let ters from applicants should be trans mitted directly through the county chairman. The state director requests strict compliance with this provision, in order that the county director may be familiar with the entire work in his county.
 The first call sent out for technical men is for men experienced in rail road work, to be inducted into the railroad corps. These men must not be of class IA of the draft, nor mem bers of the class of 1918, and must be physically fit for military duty and below the age of Al. Men in limited service can be taken if disqualified ton is not such as to interfere with performance of their duties. Appli- cations from men now employed on the railroads of the state will not be considered, but those of men employed in other lines, who possess the neecs- sary qualifications. The compensation will be regular soldiers pay and allow ances.
 The classes of men skilled in rail road work include all grades from di- vision engieers ad engineers of maintenance of way, draughtsmen. yardmen, boilermakers and allied crafts, machinists and clerks. The list now in the hands of Mir Wilbert, who may be found at the Union hall on O. K street

This gun is virtually identical with the Mauser, except that it fires a bull let a little more than half an inch in diameter.
 This, it is calculated, can pierce the tank and possibly injure some vital part of the engine. But in the path of the advancing machines there new lie broken or smashed into the earth scores of these guns. There is unprecedented mastery of the air by the allies along this front It has been misty this morning and there was little effective aerial work and practically none by the Ger mans.
 Only a few prisoners are reported as yet, the Germans apparently seeing to it that only machine gun crews should be sacrificed.
 Just back of the lines there is a mixture of French and husky young Americans. Truck trains and long lines of artillery crowd all the roads, but everywhere is that precision ot organization which prevents a jam for more than brief intervals, this part of the machine co-ordinating well with that fighting a few miles beyond.
 German prisoners were scarce at the American lines today. Less than a dozen were brought into division headquarters, although a few others passed through the dressing stations. The wounded are being given exactly the same treatment accorded the American wounded, and are even be ing treated in turn of arrival.

 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN TRANCE, Aug. 29 (By the Associated Press) ).-AccOmpanied by a fleet of tanks and covered by a heavy artil- lery barrage, the Americans swept forward early today against the Ger man lines that slowly and reluctantly fell back ever Juvigny plateau. The little operation carried out yesterday by the French and Americans had been merely preparatory to the at tack which began at 2 o'clock this morning The kink had been taken out of the line yesterday, but no determined effort was made to ad- vance to any extent.
 The firing was continuous through out the night on both sides, the Ger man guns being especially active. The rains of the early evening ceased be- fore the ground had been converted into mud. so when the orders were given today the men moved forward unimpaired.
 The German positions were shelled most vigorously by heavy guns, nor tars and light pieces, firing almost point blank, as well as by long range naval guns which searched the posi- tions of the areas near. And then the infantry advanced
 Up over the plateau the infantry men vent towards Juvigny and across the little railroad running north and south. The Germans immediately be- gan to employ the tactics of similar retreats, leaving their rear defended by a line of machine guns hidden be- hind cvry clump of brush, promon- tory and woods. Only a few detach- ments Cf infanTy were left, the en- emy adopting measures calculated to save the most men possible.
 From CcurCnne Woods and another little wood standing like sentinels be- tween Juvi gny and the American lines. the German guns delivered a deadly cross fire. Juvigny is only a village. but. located along the side of a hill it offered a peculiar opportunity for defense. until the advancing forces moved into position from which they were able to make it untenable
 The Germans then retired further east into more broken ground. The frontage assigned to the Americans was less than two miles. That part in which Juvigny was located was the scene of a dramatic tank drive

 CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 29.-Dr T. MiyaCka of Tokio. representing the Japanese government, addressed the fOTtieth annual convention of the Amer. ican bar association at its session here tonight on ''The Safeguarding of Civil Liberties"
 The morning session was devoted to committee reports.
 The committee on jurisprudence and law reform presented a report and a resolution containing a memorial ad- dressed to congress, supporting every grant of power desired by the presi- dent to help in the task Of winning the war. The committee. however. did not believe that changes in the national constitution are necessary at this time.
 Without expressing any opinion upon either the prohibition or woman suffrage amendments. the commit tee deemed it unfortunate that such vital questions should be pressed for decision at a time when the deepest interest of cur people is expressed in the life and death struggle of the var, DO and action on the resolution was in definitely postponed.

heavy resistance of the enemy and crossed the Ailette river.
 Northwest of Soissons, where the Americans are in the line with the French in the general movement of clearing Picardy of the enemy, there has been severe fighting, but with the allied troops having the advantr age. The American sector is between Chavigny and Juvigny, and the enemy facing them includes the Prussian Sev- enth infantry.
 Along the Vesle river at BaZOches
 and Fismette, the situation is rather less tense than it was Tuesday and Wednesday when heavy fighting oc- cured between the Americans and the Germans. Thursday the Ameri- cans heavily shelled the German pO- sitions, but the Germans failed to ac- cept their challenge to a duel, and re- piled only feebly. The claim of the German war office that 250 Americans were made prisoners during the recent fighting, is denied by the Americans, who assert that only a few of their men are missing.
 The situation in Eastern Siberia seems to be somewhat clarified through the disa:ming by the CzechO- Slovaks of all the Russian volunteers who revolted recently and took sides with General Horvath. the anti-B0l- sheviki leader.
 The first big battle in which all the allied forces except the Ameri- cans took part. occurred last Saturday when the enemy attacked but was driven back At last accounts the al lied troops were steadily advancing against the enemy.

 South of the Somme the Germans are retreating before the Australians The French to the south having reach ed the banks of the SOmme back waters, the Australians are engaged in clearing the enemy from the small bit of ground remaining to him west and south of the river within the angle created by its course. Bapaume has virtually been sur rounded for several days. British pa trols having been in its western out skirts, and it has just unofficially been reported to have fallen.
 South of Bapaume the battle con tinues. This afternoon the British were east of Maurepas and Combles, while Cinchy and Guillemont have been stormed and captured. The Bri- tish are pushing on.
 Other British troops this afternoon beat down the opposition and are moving through Thilloy, just south or Bapaume The whole British line here seems to be on the move. The Ger mans are falling back, leaving large numbers of machine guns on the ground out of which they are being pushed.
 In the north heavy fighting is in pro press on both sides of Bullecourt and in front of that town. Villers-CarbOn- nel and Barleux have been taken.
 Within the past twenty-four hours the Germans have launched several heavy counter attacks, fresh troops be- ing employed In every case except one the enemy was beaten back with terrible losses, gaining no ground whatsoever
 The one exception was a counter attack south of Gavrelle, north of the Scarpe. where the Germans managed to penetrate the British lines. But they soon were driven out. The only result was to carpet the ground in front of the British with German dead.
 There has been extraordinarily heavy fighting for Greenland hill. The position was reached once by the British but was relinquished during a counter attack yesterday. It is now en- tirely British again. The British cap tured many prisoners.
 Just north of the SOmme the Ger mans are offering stiff resistance from Hem on the north bank of the river west of PerOnne.
 Except in the extreme north the fighting is through villages which have changed hands many times since the war began. The ruins in some cases became Overgrown with weeds, grass and poppies more than once, only to be churned up again, Villages reported from time to time to have been captured are not villages at all They are simply mounds of debris.
 In the distance now and then there is a cloud of dust and smoke arising from a village" showing where high explosive shell has just landed There is a body of khaki clad troops swinging up a road and one of war battered Germans passing it on the way to the rear toward the prison cages.
 This country is what the British have been taking away from the Ger mans but not far away there is land that the war has not touched since 1914. The British are within less than four miles of this country at the near est point.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. Aug. 29.-(By the AssOci- ated Press, Evening. )-The operations of the past two days have put the Germans into another pocket between the Canal Du Nord and the River Aisne. They will have to evacuate it promptly or run a big risk of having their positions there turned from the north by the French along the valley of the Somme.
 Since the fall of Noyon. which was the apex of this salient until this morning, Mont St. Simeon, mile and a quarter to the east, is its advanced defense. This height dominates the valley of the Aisne eastward, and the alley of the River Meve and the Canal Du Nord to the north. These valleys were lines in the salient last night.
 The taking of Quesnow wood this morning has frightened the pocket from the western side, bringing the French within smelling distance of the main read leading out Of it in the direction of Ham.

GAS CASE IN STATE ENDED
Appeal Of Wyandotte Company and
Kansas City Pipe Line Concern
Dismissed by Supreme Court

BY dismissing the appeal OF the Wy
andotte County Gas Company and the
Kansas City Pipe Line Company from
the orders of the Montgomery County
district court, the state supreme court
has put an end to the Kansas Nat
uraI Gas Company controversy as far
as state courts are concerned.
In the Montgomery County district
court, Judge Flannelly had issued an
order fixing the rates at which natural
gas was to be sold by the receiver for
the Kansas Natural. He also decreed
that the contracts with the distrib-
uting companies were void and or
dered cancelled. The foregoing COM
panies appealed from the order.
The supreme court held that Judge
F7annelly had no authority to fix rates
and that he could not abrogate the
contracts of the Kansas Natural and
distributing companies. Owing to the
fact that the federal court had taken
over complete jurisdiction in all mat
tiers relative to the Kansas Natural
case, the supreme court held there
was nothing the court could decide, SO
dismissed the appeal.

Aesop on Russia.

About $500 years ago a slave
named Aesop, one OF the masters OF
literature, wrote, or perhaps dictated,
our editorial for this week on Russia.
At least he is reputed to have done
so.

Why should there always be this
implacable warfare between uss' said
the wolves 10 the sheep. Those evil
disposed dogs have much TO answer
for They always bark whenever we
approach you. and attack US before
we have done any harm. If you would
only dismiss them from your heels
there might soon be treaties Of peace
between us
The sheep, poor silly creatures,
were easily beguiled, and dismissed
the dogs. The wolves destroyed the
ungarded flock at their pleasure.
