Washington. July 4.-Further de-
scripton OF the fish ing along the
American lines near Chateau Thierry
ON the Marne and in Picardy is given
in the second section of General
Pershins's communique. The dis
patch follows:
Section A-Northwest Of Chateau
/ Thierry there has been intense ar
tillery activity on both sides. In the
Vosges three raiding parties which
attempted to reach our lines were
repulsed and suffered severely from
our fire.
Section B-Northwest of Chateau
Thierry the day of June 80 to July
/ was occupied by our troops mainly
in preparation for the attack made
during the evening of July 1 on Vaux
The preparation consisted in con-
tinuous and harrassing fire from our
batteries commencing at 5 o'clock in
the morning. The German artillery,
on the other hand, was somewhat
less active than on the preceding
day It's operations took the form of
harrassing and regulation fire which
fell mainly on the Marette Wood,
LeThiolet, LaCroisette, Bourbelin,
the Paris road, Triangle farm, La
Cense farm, the Belleau Wood
Bouresches and LaVole du Chatel.
Shortly after o'clock in the af-
ternoon the enemy's fire on Men
neauX, Hill 204, our lines of Belleau
Wood and our positions in the vic
nifty OF Bouresches became heavy.
The German infantry increased it's
machine gun, rifle and grenade fire
especially from the region of Hill
204 and VauX Otherwise there was
no unusual activity until after the
commencement of our attack when
the circulation of troops and vehicles
in the German areas greatly IN
creased
among the numerous prisoners
taken around Vaux July 1 and 2, one
gave interesting information regard
ing the German counter attack:
The main points of his story were
as follows:
"At 4:30 o'clock on the afternoon
Of July l his battalion, while drill
ling in a rear area, suddenly received
! the order to fall in with marching
equipment. At O'Clock they left
camp and proceeded by the Chateau
, Thierry, Paris road and other minor
roads through Vincelles to a point
after ZOE yards from vaux. They
there lay in readiness for the coun-
ter attack which was scheduled to
take place at 315 o'clock. SO heavy
was the artillery fire on both sides
however. that 1t was impossible for
iLem to advance until AS o'clock.

The privilege Of conversion which
arose in consequence OF the issue
OF Az per cent bonds of the third
Liberty loan will expire on Novem-
Der 9th and under existing law can
not be extended or renewed. Hold
ers of these four per cent bonds
lose nothing by exercising the priv
ilege of conversion and gain "
per cent interest per annum. Hold
ers of four per cent bonds should
not wait until the last moment to
exercise the privilege of conversion
but proceed to do so promptly. De-
lay will result in over-burdening
the banking institutions of the
country and the treasury depart
ment by making 1t necessary to
handle all conversions at the last
moment, and may result In the loss

strongly advised to request issue

NOT ASK

lBy l.. c. Martin, United Press Staff
CORRESPONDENT

Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Congres
sional finance leaders today were
greatly relieved by Secretary Nc
Adoos announcement that he will
not ask additional taxes in view OF
the $1,000 100000 increase just asked
for the army. They declared, how.
ever, that his decision means one OF
two things with respect to the con
gressional finance policy:
Possible abandonment Of the
policy of raising one-third Of the cost
of the war by taxation and two-thirds
by bonds.
denomination of estimates sub
mitted to congress in future upon the
basis of money actually able to be
needs"
The tangle into which the sudden
presentation of the new army esti-
mates threw congress have revived
among finance and ways and means
committee members, the demand that
departments presenting such esti
mates after regular appropriation
bills have passed show how much OF
Tic ICE llhS bCCh
spent and how much can actually be
spent within the year and then be
content with appropriations covering
the additional amount that actually
can be spent.
The war department asked for more
than three billion dollars for ordnance
in the new bill.
Finance committee members said
today it would be physically impos-
sible to spend that money this fiscal
year, because previous huge ordnance
appropriations have been used in let
ting contracts which will keep all
available factories running to capa-
city for a long time.
Unless some development not now
foreseen changes the situation, the
most likely course will be the pairing
of the new army estimates to the
actual spendable amount, which will
be made Immediately available while
the remainder will be included in
authority to make contracts. This
will give the war department power
actually 10 spend all 1t has asked for.
but will defer somewhat the need
for actually providing the money.

Charges Made That Thousands Of
Workmen There are Really
Those Who are Seek
ing Exemption.

| limited Press Leased Wire Service. ]
! WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The
great Hog Island ship yard at Phila-
delphia will do well to accomplish
half the program of ship production
set for this year, Charles Piez, vice
president of the Emergency Fleet cor
poration told the senate commerce
committee today.
1.-The Hog Island yard expected to
turn out forty-eight ships. 1t will do
well to turn out twenty" he said
Piezs statement was made in con-
nection with inquiries by committee
members concerning charges that
thousands of draft evaders have been
given jobs at Hog Island. Piez gave
the committee all the facts he has on
this question. He said it will be con-
sidered by the fleet corporation. The
committee dropped plans to investf-
gate. Charges were laid before commit
tee members that thousands of the
sixty thousand employees of the yard
who were exempted are ball players,
actors, BARRIERS, pugilists and ones who
worked in non-essential industries
The committee were told that some
of these ship builders. appeared at
work each morning wearing gloves
and flowers in their button holes.
Some of them are listed as labor
scouts whose chief duties. according
to the charges, consist in getting
friends jobs where they will be safe
from the draft
Piez told the committee that the
provost marshal general has issued
new regulations providing that
exempted ship yard workers who
absent themselves from work more
than three days a month without a
good reason, lose their exemption.
