U-BoAT HEADED FOR HOME,
 FISHERMEN BELIEVE

Gloucester. Mass, Aug. 27. The German U-boat which has been sink ing vessels of the New England and Canadian fishing fleets for several weeks, is now headed across the At lantic Ocean for home port in the opinion of fishermen and marine men here. Reports last night of the sink ing of fishing craft off Point Platte, Miquelon. strengthened the growing opinion that the submarine was work ing in an easterly derection.
 While the U-boat has found it easy to prey upon the unprotected and peaceful fishing schooners and trawl- CTS. steps are being taken to make it more difficult for such attacks to be successful without serious danger to the submarine. Fishermen say that within a short time the sunl1en ves- sels will be replaced and that the sup ply of fish will continue without in- terruption. The view is he;1 that the undersea boats have struck their worst blow at the fishing fleets and 1 has fallen far short of wipiny out the | industry.

 Under an international bread policy formulated by the inter~aIlied focd council in London. all bread made af- ter September l. for Franco, England. Italy, the United States and the other allies will be made of mixed flour containing eighty per. cent wheat flour ana ZO per cent. substitute cereals. All present baking regulations in connlct with the new plan are re- sclnded, including the half and half regulation controlling flour sales to householders and that permitting ba- kers to use only seventy per cent. of their normal supply Of wheat flour. All rationing of bread among the allied nations will be discontinued. and plenty of the new victory hread'' 1 Is assured the civil populations at c tune when the wheat situation in Ger

yNREPoRTED PROFITS BY. THE
 COAL PRODUCING COMPANIES

Washington, Aug. 27.-Examination of the business records of about 265 coal producing companies by experts of the Internal Revenue Bureau has disclosed unreported profits yielding more than S5,000,0 900 additional tax revenue to the government. More than 2.500 companies remain to be exam ined and officials expect to gather a total of $5O.0O0,000 taxes from these sources. Some cases represent evil dent attempts to evade/tax payments but a large proposition. officials ex- plain, reflect difficulty by the com- panies' accountants in figuring the proper tax under the complicated ex- cess profits laws.
 Similar studies now are being made of woolen, Cil and mining businesses. The bureau expects later to undertake examinations of more than a dozen in dustry groups which showed exorbi- | tant profits last year.
 About S6,000,0O0 additional revenue has been obtained through cxamina- tior of returns of 1900 corporations.

NEW MINISTRIES OF
 MUNITIONS AND AVIATION

Washington, Aug. 27-Virtual es- Ftabhshment of ministries of munitions and aviation and the appointment Of Benedict c. Crowe1I, first assistant secretary of war and John D. Ryan, chief of the bureau of military aero nautics, as the respective heads was announced today by Secretary Baker While the official statement refers to the appointees as director of muni- tions" and director of air service" the changes evidently are intended to erect separate organizations each un- der direct control of one man who will hold wide powers and be entrusted with all responsibility in those fields MT. Ryan with his new duties as sumes the position of second assistant secretary of war, vice Edward R. Stat ! tinlus, who is now abroad in connec- tion with important government mat 1 terS. Mir. StattiniuS IS to remain in France indefinitely, it was announced, ] as special representative of the war department with full power to carry ] out the special missions with which he 1 is charged
 The necessity for the eventual con- Solidation of the various activities connected with the munitions program
 has been repeatedly predicted since the 1
 of Great Britain, prior to the estab- i lishment of distinct ministry of muni- tions, led many experts to recommend 1 similar action as d remedy for diff
 culties in this country. Secretary
 Baker is understood to have hesitaUed
 to approve the proposal, believing that l it was not necessary at the time when
 the United States army was in the
 making, but that it might be taken up when the country's industry was org
 anized for the tremendous production
 required by an army numbering mil
 lions instead of thousands.
 MT. Crowell since hIs appointment
 as chief assistant to MT. Baker has
 had special charge of industrial mat ters coming before the war depart
 ment. His designation as director O. munitions will mean in reality bu slight change from the work in Whicl
 he has already been engaged. Addi
 tional authority now has been dele gated, however, which will enable MT
 Crowell to handle the large problems embraced in the task described by Sec
 retary Baker as seeing the intuition
 required for our military operation are procured and furnished to the arm ? in the field"
 Full control of the bureau of mill tary aeronautics and of the bureau o
 aircraft production has been given t 1, Secretary Ryan, who is authorized t f name a new head for the latter org anization. He will thus have charg , of the production Of airpIanes an
 of the training of personnel to ma r them, bringing the entire air program I under the single authority recon mended by Major General William $ Kenly, chief ot military aeronautic: s and other experts before the senat
 military affairs committee.
 MT Ryan is expected to put into ef
 feet immediately changes in organiZa , ton which will result in the co-ordin
 ation of the two bureaus which he WI 5 control.

FRENCH TROOPS SUCCEED
 IN THE CAPTURE OF ROVE
All Along the Front of 75 Miles the German Line Has Given Way Before the Pressure of the British and French Troops. Who Have Captured Many Towns and Roads

Danes region and the Noyon sector.
 Everywhere the Germans have lost heavily in men killed or made prison CT, and in addition the allied troops again have captured numerous guns, machine guns, and war stores. The prisoners taken by the British from last Wednesday to Monday of the present week aggregated 21,0O0. In the fighting Tuesday around St. Mard, west of Rove, the French secured HOO cap tives.
 The Canadian troops are fighting in lively fashion between the Sensee and Scarpe rivers and to them have fall en numerous German-held villages and manv prisoners.
 Bapaume, enc of the strategic points over which there has been much l1eayy fighting, is still held by the Germans. but the British are now so nearly around it that possibly few of the en- emy remain inside the sheIl-torn town. The British on the west are in
 the outskirts of the place. anG doubt
 less it soon will be nipped out of the
 battle line in the pincer movement that is being employed against it.
 In the north the British already are across the upper end of the old Hin denburg line and if their progress con- tinues they soon will be abit to op-
 crate to the east of the line on un- scared ground on which tanks and
 cavalry can be brought into the fray with good results.
 Behind the lines everywhere French and British airman are harass1ng the 1 Germans in retreat but in this work ] they are met by large forces of enemy airmen who are fighting hard in ar endeavor to make secure the retro grade movement of their foot soldiers On the Vesle front the American: 1 and Germans are in rather bittel 1 fight in the towns of Fismette ant Bazoches. The Americans started tht | trouble at Bazoches and the German: 1 reciprocated with an attack of Fis l mette. At last accounts the Americans | had the upper hand at both places.

CORRECTING DEFECTS IN UNIFORMS OF NAVY

Washington, Aug. 27.-Following the example set by the war department for unifying the military establish ment, Secretary Daniels today issued general order wiping out the vari- ous defects existing in the uniform used by the regular navy and the na- val reservists.
 The order says hereafter the uni form of any given rank in the navy shall be identical in every respect throughout except for the various dis tinguishing corps devices, and that every officer in the navy shall be des- ignated and addressed by the title of his rank.
 The latter change does away with the time-honored customs of calling the staff heads by position they fill rather than by the title of their rank as for instance Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, for merly was known officially as Chief Constructor Taylor. Hereafter he will be addressed formally as Admiral

TWO MoToRCYcLIsTs KILLED
 AT WINDSOR LOCKS

Windsor Locks Conn, Aug. 27- While attempting to cross a siding of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad here this afternoon with a motorcycle with a side car, Russell P. Haight of Bloomfield, N. J., and Gus Elder of Newark N. J.. were hit by a southbound freight train and killed. Elder died instantly and Haight fif teen minutes after the accident.
 Haight was dressed :n military uniform and his hat was circled with a blue band. The absence of any army insignia leads to the supposition by officials that he was a member of a state guard organization. Tele- grams to the police in the mems home towns tonight were unanswered and unobtainable here.
 It is said that the driver of the mo- ] further details as to their identity were i torcycle disregarded warning of the : approach of the train which hit the machine. The car was carried fifty feet and eventually tossed over an en- 1 bankment.

Rv The Associated Press.O

Frenzied counter attacks by the Germans have failed to hold back the British and French armies who are hard after the enemy on the seventy five mile battle front from the north of Arras to the region of Soissons.
 All along the front the German line has given way before the pressure of the British and French troops at points where the falling back of the enemy or the capture of towns and roads running eastward adds greatly to his already strious predicament from the standpoint of strategy.
 Numerous towns, villages and ham, lets have fallen into the hands of the British ond French in the continuation of the fighting, and scarcely anywhere along the battle front have the Ger mans been able to do more than delay the allies when they knock for admit tance to the German line.
 Rear guard actions in which in- numerable machine guns are used also are serving merely to keep the allied advance slowed down as far as pos sible while the main German bodies make their way eastward in retreat toward new positions.
 In the region around Arras the Brit ish now are well astride the roads leading to Douai and Cambrai and farther south along the Somme they have pressed forward until they are almost at the gates of Peronne.
 Between the Somme and the Disc the French have broken the backbone Of the German resistance at Rove cap turing this pivotal point to an in vasion eastward of the plains of Pi- csrdy and advancing their lines nortf and south of the town over a front O about 12 1-9 miles to depth of more than 1-2 miles at certain points.

AMBASSADOR WALTER H.
 PAGE HAS RESIGNED

4 Washington Aug. 27-Due to con- tinued i'll health, Walter Hines Page ambassador of the United States to Great Britain, has offered his resig- nation to President. Wilson. While no official announcement was forthcom- ing today. it was learned in official circles that the president. at the ur- gent request of the ambassador, had decided to accept the resignation.
 First news of the intention of Am hassador Page. who was appointed to his post in April. 1913 to retire came today in an Associated Press des- patch from London.
 So many and SC various have been the activities and accomplishments of Ambassador Page during his stay at the court of St. James that it was said today at the state department that they form a compendious history of American diplomacy from the be- ginning to the present stage of the world war.
