BATTLE TURNS IN
 FAVOR OF ALLIES
GERMAN MACHINE WHICH IT IN TENDED TO CRUSH ALLIED
 LINE EXHAUSTED.

New York.-With the passing of the thirteenth day of the new battle of the Somme there came increasing evi- 1 denee that the great German machine with which il was intended to crush the allied line has almost utterly 1 spent itself
 Where previously the Germans had thrown men into the fray, not count ing the prodigious wastage in killed and wounded. saw them decline to give battle anywhere. In what little fighting occurred the British and French troops took the initiative.
 Thus it seems apparent, with the reserve forces of the entente practi- cally intact and with the added weight General Pershing's troops will give them, the turn in the tide of the bat tie is at hand.
 While admittedly both the French and British armies have suffered rath- CT severe losses as they stood valiant ly to tLeir task of impending the Ger mans and making them pay an un- heard-of price for every foot of ground gained, their reserves have been con- served with the utmost care behind the lines for the fateful time when the whitening fire of the allied guns and machine guns should have so blighted the German hordes as to bring them more equally in strength to the fighting forces. The British and French commanders have been de pending on the Americans, exceeding 100000 men, who are fully trained and equipped and eager to fight.
 The daily estimates of the German losses in men killed or wounded con tinue to increase as details are ob- tained from the captured Germans. i Some divisions lost as high as 70 per cent of their men as they charged in 1 mass formation against the British and French machine gunners and rifle men. Companies withdrew from the l fighting reduced to 40 men.
 Bad weather again is hindering op- l erations in the Italian theater, bur nevertheless, there has been consider able patrol activity in the mountain region and artillery duels of some yio- | fence over che whole front from Lake | Garde to the Adriatic. At several | points in the mountains Austro-Ger- man troops endeayored to gain ad- vantages over the Italians, but were l driven back
 In Palestine the British forces, ! which penetrated Turkish territory northeast of Jericho, has cut the He'd jag railway and have now begun 10 retire toward Es-Salt. A large num- Der of prisoners and guns, machine guns and other war stores have been taken by the British.

Lemons Written and
 Beautify the Skin!
 Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons strain ed into q bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quar- ter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordi- nary cold creams. Care should be talk en to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lem on juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try it. Make up quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck. arms and hands. It should natur- ally help to whiten, soften. freshen and bring out the hidden roses and beauty of any skin. It is wonderful for rough red hands.
 Your druggist will sell three ounces of orchard white at little cost, and any grocer will supply the lemons. Adv.

HOG ISLAND MARCH
 OUTPUT FAR BEHIND
FAILED TO MAKE SCHEDULE BY 6e,G00 TONS-STEEL SHORT
 AGE BLAMED.

Washington.-Ho Island shipyard ran 0,000 tons behind it's schedule in March. This testimony was given in the Senate commerce committee by George J. Baldwin, vice president of the American International Corpora tion, who is in direct charge.
 He blamed steel shortage, which he said continues.
 Astounded at Baldwin's statement, the committee directed it's chairman, Senator Fletcher of Florida, to call on President Wilson in company with shipping board officials.
 The principal request of the delega- tion Is to be that an absolute priority, both of manufacture and of transpor- tation. be given to steel intended for shipbuilding until the crisis is past. Baldwin said other yards were nearly as short of material with which to construct ships as his own.
 What is the cause of this?" asked Senator Fletcher.
 Lack of one central authority" re piled Baldwin. Tn my priatve busi- ness, if something goes wrong, can put my finger on the man to blame. In government business, we run around in a circle"
 "I cite that answer" declared Sena- tor Nelson of Minnesota, "as proof of the Senate's duty to pass the Over man bill."
 Baldwin declared the Hog Island yard had become a model industrial establishment, capable of turning out ships faster than anyone imagined. " He said this was one reason it was hard to get material.
 Officials have gotten the idea" he said. that we have bitten off more than We can chew, and they are send ing us about half of the material we ask.
 The difficulty goes back quite a way" he said. We cannot get steel which we nave ordered and our steel supply men say they cant get the coke 10 make the steel for us.
 There seems just little bit of in- ertia all along the line and lack of a central co-ordinating force to compel action. Whenever we have real complaint, we find that one gentleman is always able to show that another gentleman is to blame" That" interjected Senator Hard ing, "is the situation I want to reach, This committee should let the presi- dent know what is holding back ship production"
 Harding's motion was carried unani. mOusly.
 Baldwin appealed to the committed ! to report at once as to whether it had found graft or impreprieties at Hog Island, declaring that the charge overcharging the organization were l injuring it's spirit. He read a prepar ed defense.

CRITICAL POINT OF
 B|G STRUGGLE NEAR
WAR DEPARTMENT FORGING AHEAD WITH ITS EFFORTS TO
 SEND TROOPS TO FRANCE.
NO NEWS OF AMERICANS
Movement of Troops in France Is Screened Completely Behind Rigid Censorship Imposed By General
 John J. Pershinq.

Washington.-DeY of the second phase of the German drive in Picardy was watched closely. Army officers believe that the critical point of the great struggle is rapidly ap- preaching. Meager official reports gave little information. though it seemed evident that the Germans were trying to force foothold in stra- tegic positions before Amiens and at the same time to increase pressure against the junction point between the French and British armies.
 The War Department again had nothing to add to official reports from London and Paris on the battle. The department is forging ahead with it's efforts to speed additional American forces across the water The first ln- crement of the second draft to be sum- moned this month will be 150,000 men instead of 50,000, as previously planned. They will be the first of 500. 900 drafted men to be called to the colors this year. The remaining 650,- 00e will be called out in monthly in- crements, the size of which will de- pend to some extent upon availabil- ity of shipping to transport men al ready in training to the front.
 Movement of American troops m France is screened rapidly behind the rigid censorship imposed by General Pershing. Press dispatches give no hint of the whereabouts of the forces last reported as hastening through France to the front by train and mo- tor truck and afoot
 Accounts of American movements published in England have indicated that the most seasoned veterans of General Pershing's army, the men of the first expedition, are included in the units sent into the battle in Pi- eardy. The message said that Ameri- can regulars were to bear the brunt of the first entry of the forces from the United States.
 With the increased menace against Amiens. developing through the Ger man pressure in the Albert region, of fcers recalled hopefully the calm con fidence with which General Foch, su- preme commander, has asserted that the town will not fall into German hands His utterance, they felt cer- tain, was based not on assumption that the line would hold as it now runs, but upon additional precautions he has taken to protect this rail cen ter. They believe strong reserve forces are massed behind the actual lighting lines or that a counter-move- ment will be started if the pressure becomes dangerous. So far the allies have not been compelled to resort to this use of their reserves and their ad- ditional forces are waiting an oppor- tunity to start a far-reaching attack.
