GIRLS MUST WEAR
MORE ON BEACH
At ATLANTIC CITY

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June IL
"Its too bad" some OF the ld-timers
observed today, that the public
safety commissioner Is such a prude.
He says the girls just can't practice
wartime economy on the beach; that
they must wear stockings"
Sunday saw the first clash between
the sirens and the law. Several girls
were driven in, when they appeared
without stockings and with nbbrevi-
ated skirts that were almost no
skirts at all.
Two shapely damsels appeared
wearing red, white, and blue Garb,
cut very high and very low. They
were told they must cover their
neither eXtremities, to which they re-
piled: Why, mister. we're not doing
this to show off. It's patriotic. We're
conserving silk. Besides, it's a terri
bly, hot day"
The beach habitues were startled
by the appearance Of a man wearing
a hesh-COlOred bathing suit. He was
promptly sent TO cover.
In the past many who have come to
swim remained to see. But this sea
son, the beginning would indicate
that many who come to see will re-
main to swim.

corps, "is that of locating and de-
stroying machine gun nests OF the

they prepare the way for infantry ad-

however, will learn other lessons, and

amounted to 2s0,4 dead weight tons,
making the total 1918 production to
date, 1,440,670 tons.
The June production which is at

all classes of vessels.
OF the months output steel ships

1880 tons.
An amazing growth In output was

BAKER WRITES WILSON
Letter From Secretary of War to
Chief Executive Says That 276,-
372 Men Were Sent Overseas
During Month Of June.

Paris, July Sin six months
there will be 2,500,0 900 Americans
troops on the French front, Andre
Tardieu, head Of the general
commission for Franco American
war matters has declared to the
editor of the Petit journal.
Washington, July Son July l the
number of American troops sent over
seas numbered 1,019,115.
This was made known by President
Wilson, who gave to the public let
ter from Secretary Baker disclosing
a record of achievement which the
President said must cause universal
satisfaction" and (which will give
additional zest to our national celebra-
tion of the Fourth of July"
AT the same time Secretary Baker
announced that the United States is
now six months ahead of it's original
program of shipping men overseas.
Increase Has Been Steady.
The first units-non-comba
left American shores on May 8, 1917,
General Pershing followed IL days
later and at the end of the month,
1,718 men had started for the battle
fields of France. June saw this num-
ber increased by 12,261 and there
after khaki-clad crusaders" from the
western republic flowed overseas In
a steady stream until upwards of
100000 had departed when the great
German thrust began last March.
President Wilson's determination
to meet Germany's supreme effort
with the utmost of Americas avaM
able man power to assist the despeT-
ately resisting French and British
armies is sharply reflected In the
movement of troops during the last
three months. The March sailings
of S3,S11 were increased in April to
117,212. May saw another 244 4,345
men embark and last month 276,372
were sent away, making a total for
the three months OF 6s7,929. This,
SECRETARY Baker said later, put the
troop movement six months ahead OF
the original program.
Thirty Divisions In France.
Substantially 80 divisions are now
in France ready to meet whatever
move the German staff has in prepar-
alton. Some Of these divisions al
ready have been formed into the first
field army under Major General Lig-
gett, others are holding trench sec
tors at important points along the
battle line and still others have been
broken up and brigaded with the
French and British troops. And so.
when the German thrust comes the
Americans will be called upon to play
no small part in meeting it.
Secretary Baker wrote the Presi-
dent that the supplies and equip
ment in France for the million men
who have gone is shown by latest
reports to be adequate and added that
"the output of our war industries In
this country is showing marked Inn
provement in practically all lines of
necessary equipment and supply"

MENACES BRITISH HARVEST
Need Of Men at Front Affects Work
ers on Farms.

London, July 5.-Walter F. Roch,
member of parliament for Pembroke
shire. In moving the adjournment OF
the house OF commons, drew, atten-
tion to the serious effect Of combing
out for the army the agricultural la
borers at the harvest.
He said he had been inundated with
letters from farmers bewailing the
probable disastrous effects of the
governments action.
Rowland e. Prothero, president OF
the board of agriculture, sympathized
with the complaint voiced by the
member for Pembrokeshire, but EN-.
phasized the overmastering need for
men for the army.
Man-power was short all around
he said, but essential industries must
yield In proportion man-power for the
army.

NO RECESS FOR SOLONS
Mass of Legislation Bars Con-
gressionaI Holiday.
Some Members Do Not Give Up Hope
OF Leaving Washington For
Short Period.

Washington, July 5.-The resolution
authorizing the President to take over
telegraph and telephone lines; the
$12,000,000,000 army appropriation
bill, the proposal TO increase the gov
ernment guaranteed price for wheat.
to $3.50 bushel and war time prohi-
bition stood in the way of the pro-
posed recess of Congress this week.
Leaders in both the Senate and
House were not hopeful that this leg
fslation could be disposed of in time
to recess Saturday until August 10,
while the new revenue bill Is being
drafted by the House ways and means
committee. In the opinion OF Speak
er Clark, recess plans had gone
glimmering."
Some members, however, had not
given up hope of being able to leave
Washington this week. Tentative
plans were proposed to hurry the
passage of the army bill Which, now
Is In conference due largely to num-
erous amendments added by the Sem
ate, and to have the telegraph and
telephone control resolution go over
until August.
Disposition OF the latter measure be-
fore recess depends upon insistence
OF the administration. It is known
President Wilson is eager to have the
resolution passed, so action might be
taken should a crisis arise in the
telegraph situation.
To provide funds for the army, ag-
ricultural department and other gov.
ernment agencies, the appropriation
bills for which have been held up,
the Senate planned to consider a
blanket resolution passed by the
house continuing as an emergency
last years appropriations.
Hearings on the new revenue bill
were to close at once. Work OF draft
ing the measure will be started imme
diately, 1t was said.

London, July Another of the

the Allies are from day to day i'm.
proving their positions in anticipa-
ton of the renewal of the German
offensive took place on the French
front General Petain's troops drove
in on a two mile front near Moulin

Aisne, and penetrated the German
lines to depth of approximately
half mile They took 220 prison
ers in their advance.
The British front, on the other
hand witnessed a minor reverse for
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig's
fighters who were obliged to relin-
quish large part Of the ground they
had gained in local operation near
Bouzincourt, north OF Albert.
Americans Hold Gains.
The American troops on this Marne
front are holding on firmly to their
gains in the Vaux region. Both Of
fetal and unofficial reports agree that
no impression has been made by the
Germans upon the ground gained by
the Allies in the recent fighting here.
After the capture OF Vaux and ad-
jacent strong points, the Americans
withstood violent enemy reactions,
but the German efforts were of no
avail, the attacking force being vir-
tually wiped out. Further attempts
probably will be made to regain
Vaux, which is an important point
on the battlefront between scissors
and Chateau Thierry, the nearest
the Germans have approached Paris.
