HUN LINE GRADUALLY
BEING FORCED BACK

With the American army on the
Ajsne-Marne Front, July 31.-(Noon.)
(By the Associated Press. )-Efforts
made by the Germans to advance their
lines against the Americans on this
front last night and this forenoon
were fruitless. The Americans for
their part, we're content to hold their

The German line, however, is report
ed gradually giving away to the right
and left.
There was hard fighting throughout
the night, but no concerted attack in
force by either side.
During the night the Americans
made a pretense of retiring from a
part of the town Of Seringes. The
Germans advanced into the town on
observing the supposed evacuation.
Two companies of Americans then
closed in and enveloped the German
force, killing or capturing every man
of 1t.
Both high explosives and gas shells
were sprayed by the Germans over
a wide area. The air forces on both
sides were bury this morning. One

Pressed Back
ley leased wire to New MexIcan.l

(By Leased Wire to New MexIcan.)
Washington, July 31.-The
sole object of the allies and the
Germans in the Scissors
Rheims salient now is to kill
as many men as possible, Gen
eral March, chief of staff said
today at his semi-weekly con-
ference with newspaper cor
respondents. Whatever objec-
tive either side had at the be-
ginning, the general said, has
been submerged by develop
ments in the fighting.
General March pointed out that the
salient had been greatly flattened this
virtually d~issipating any hopes
Of the allies bagging large numbers of
the enemy. The German withdrawal
since last Saturday, he added, had re-
duced the length of the line another
ten miles, to fifty-four miles. The
maximum German retreat, in the CEN
ter, Is fourteen miles.
Arrival of the AID (Rainbow) divi-
sion and it's participation in the fight
ing east of observation-disclosures, was
announced. The third regular divi-
sion also was identified as in action
at Sergy and Cierges, where the crack
German guard divisions nave been
defeated in recent fighting by Ameri-
can troops.
General March announced the for
nation in the United States of six
more divisions, numbered from IA to
20 and to be located at Camps Logan,
Texas, Kearney, California, Beaure-
gard, Louisiana, Travis, Texas, Dodge,
Iowaa and Sewer, South Carolina.
AS in the Ease Of the SIX divisions
announced last week, these will be
built around the regular infantry reg
iments in each case. General March
announced the conversion of fifteen
national army cavalry regiments into
field artillery. These will comprise
part of the artillery units for the divi-
sions.
General March had nothing to re-
veal rs to the extent Of the casualties
sustained by the American forces in
the recent fighting. He said, how
ever. that General Pershing had been
ordered to cable the casualties as re-
ceived and that these would be given
out here at once. He added that there
would be no distribution of casualties
over a long period hereafter.
III response to a question, General
March said that where a division COM
mander was selected to be a tempo
rary corps commander the command
of his division passed to the senior
brigadier. He had no information as
to the location at present of the 89th
National Army division.

War Expense of

Washington, July 31.-America's
war expenses now are about so.
per cent higher than Great Brit
aims, it was shown today by
comparison of treasury reports
and a newly issued British finan-
cial statement.
Owing to the shorter time the
United has been in the war,
however, Individual burden of tax
alton in this country is only
about one-half as much as in
England. The monthly cost OF
the war to the United States now
is about $1,000, 200, 900, while
Great Britain's expenses are
about ST. 900, 100000 a month.
The nations war debt is now a
little less than $12,500, 100000, as
compared with Great Britain's
$36,675, 100000.
Before the war, both nations
collected about the same amount
Of taxes every year, approxi-
mately 81, 1000, 100000. Now Great
Britain collects 1920, 900, 900 and
the United States about "a, 0O0,-

MINIMUM WAGE
NOT TO BE FIXED.

Washington, July 31.-A minimum
wage to be applied throughout indus
try will not be established at this time
by the war labor board. In making
this announcement today the board
said wage controversies will be con
sidered individually as heretofore.
Hearings on the question of a mini
mum wage had been held and the
board was expected to establish a min
imum in the near future.
The boards decision was set forth
in an unanimous resolution declaring
ut would be unwise to make orders in
this interregnum based on approved
views of progress in normal times,
which under war conditions might Sc
riously impair the present economic
structure of our country"
Declaring the period Of the war not
to be a normal period of industrial
expansion, the resolution says "the
employer does not expect unusual prof
its or the employees abnormal wages,
Capital should only have such rea-
sonable return as will assure its use
for the worlds and nations cause,
while the physical well being of labor
and its physical and mental effective
ness in a comfort reasonable in view
Of exigencies of the war, should like
wise be assured. Employers and
workers we're called upon to compose
their differences in accord with the
principles laid down in President Will

that strikes and other labor disturb

I'm reaching the conclusions upon
which this order is based" said the
director general. Il have been keenly
conscious not alone of the interests
of the railway employees, but also Of
my solemn duty to see to it that the
trust they have committee to me is
discharged faithfully.
"Now that the decision has been
made the American people expect ev-
cry railroad employee to devote him
self with new energy to his work and
by faithful and efficient service to
justify the large increases of pay and
the Improvement in working condi-
lions hereby granted. 1t is of the ut
most Importance that motive power
and ars shall be kept in repair and
that the output of railroad shops
throughout the country shall be great
ly increased"
Il am proud of the loyal service the
great body of railroad men have ren-
dered since the railroads have come
under federal control. But | should
not fail to say that there are instances
where agitation in some of the loco
motive and car shops have been ex-
tremely disturbing to the country. The
loyal and patriotic employees, who con-
stitute the great majority of the army
of railroad workers have not yielded
to these disturbances.
nThe loyal and patriotic employees
can render a new and powerful sery-
ice to their country by using their in

"My Dear Field Marshal and General:

Immediately south of Scissors and
