RED CROSS TELLS CHAPTERS TO NOT
 BELIEVE STORY
Mrs. Anderson of Wilcox
 Calls Attention to Recent Article in Which Knitting Work Is Said to Be Useless

When Mrs. C. o. Anderson, of WILL COX, member of the Wilcox chapter or the American Red Cross, and auxiliary of the Tucson chapter of the same or ganization, objected to Alan Dale's ar ticle in a late issue of the Literary Di- gest, the Arizona woman pointed to some propaganda which needed atten- ton. The article in question was en- titled Why Not to Knit"
 The Tucson chapter, of which Will COX is a part. is going ahead with it's work, regardless of efforts to stem the tide of garments for the troops over seas. The letter of Mrs. Anderson, however. caused the Pacific headquar- ters to write in the following vein of the article in question:
 Mrs. C. O. Anderson,
 Wilcox Branch, A. R. C.,
 Wilcox, Arizona.
 My Dear Madam:
 Your favor of the 18th inst regard ing the article appearing in the Lite rary Digest, Why Not to Knit, Is rei ceived. Concerning same, | will state that the writer, MT. Dale, is merely ex- pressing one mans opinion of the knit ting problem, and it should not be taken seriously.
 ''The Red Cross is receiving it's wool directly through the government at the etaoi taoi to .sr rM'detaoinunun this time, and all purchases of wool Gas well as the purchase of all ma terials) are now being made directly through the division warehouses throughout the nation. Our knitted goods are distributed, not as many people think, by standing the soldiers up in a line and the Red Cross field directors handing out the knitted goods, but through the quaTtermaster' $ department of the army and only on the requisition of the commanding of ficer. In this manner you can plainly see that we are cooperating with the government and supplying the soldiers with comforts that are needed, but not included in their regular supplies al lotted by the government itself, so you can be assured that if any necessity existed for the discOntinuance of knit ting by the American people. on ac' count of conserving the wool for other uses. the Red Cross, being a direct arm of the government, would be the first to respond to the government s needs.
 MT. Dale makes a big point of the impracticability of the knitted abdom- inal band worn by the soldier to col feet vermin. With reference to this. l have just called up our supply bu- reau and find that we have never ship ped a single band of this description or for that purpose, but that number of these had been sent to us more than a year ago from few chapters who were working independently and few were raveled and the wool useG for other purposes, as this was not a Red Cross activity.
 We would appreciate your giving such publicity to these facts as you can, in order that the work allotted to the chapters at this time will not be retarded by the effect of this fan atical article by Mir. Dale

STRIKE CONTROVERSY
 IN COMMITTEE HANDS
rnv RerIew I.eassd VII

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The con troversy between the International Paper company and 4000 employees in paper mills in New York. New Hamp- shire and Maine were referred today by the war labor board to a section composed of c. A. Crocker and T M. Guerin. It was recommended that the section interpret the recent award Of the board, disagreement over the ap- plication of which led to the strike.
 Authority also was given the section to reopen the case and hold further hearings if that is deemed necessary but no re-hearing will be granted un- til all the men return to work.
 Representatives of both the company and the union were called before the board to explain their differences which resulted in the closing down of ten mills and a consequent curtailment of about 75 per cent in the produc- ton of newsprint paper. Both sides were agreed that inability of their committees to agree on the working out of the award presented the great est difficulty and they joined in the re- quest for an interpretation.

NEW PLAN MUST BE ARRANGED SAY
 COMMITTEE
As Planned Now Tax on Ex- cess War Profits Will Fall Far Below Necessary Six Billion Dollars
lRr Reriew I.eased Wirel


 WASHINGTON, July 25-The house ways and means committee in tenta- lively agreeing today upon a graduat- ed tax on war excess profits estimat- ed by the treasury to yield only Sl,690,- 100000 revenue, found that either all its plans so far tentatively agreed up- on would have to be readjusted in or der to produce the S6,00O,000, 900 sought from excess profits and m- comes or to resort to some new tax proposition. As now planned the rev enue from these two sources would fall $1, ,600, 100000 short.
 The committee tentatively agreed to a specific exemption of S2000 plus 10 per cent on invested capital, instead of S300O plus ' to per cent, exempted from excess profits tax under the present law. Various taxing plans also were discussed, with the committee favoring 30 per cent On all net income in excess of the exemption of 10 per cent and not in excess of 20 per cent excess profits, 50 per cent on net in- come in excess of 20 per cent and not in excess of 25 per cent, and 80 per cent on net income in excess of 25 peE cent.

DESOLATION MARKS
 RECOVERED REGION

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE AISNSE- MARINE FRONT. July 9 CBy The Associated Press).-A des- olate shell torn waste and burning Of houses and towns mark the zone eyac- uated by the Germans, and indications are that should the salient of SOissons- Rheims be recovered there probably will not be a village within it or a house standing with it's walls intact.
 At Oulchy-En Chateau, for the pos session of which the Franco-American troops struggled for two days, fires had been observed for two days. It IS unknown whether they were started by the Germans or from the shells of the allied guns.
 Neither side is permitting sentiment to enter into the situation. There has been no battle which has displayed a greater spirit of merciless sacrifice Village after village has been subject ed to terrible artillery fire, until their appearance indicated that the guns had been aided by an earthquake in their destruction.
 The Germans have occupied and of- ten fortified every village and farm house, using them to the last And the allies have not hesitated to reduce them. The grain fields and vineyards have escaped, although it is expected that thousands of acres of over-ripe wheat will be lost through a lack or harvesters.
 The grain fields were saved owing to the rapid retreat of the German who in only a few instances set ire to them. A slower retreat would have resulted in greater Instructions
 The allies are definitely on the up- grade and the Germans show distinct signs. of recognizing lthis situation The morale in the German ranks ap- pears to have suffered seriously from the setback and this condition Is ac- centuated by the knowledge that the enormous losses of the past fortnight have fallen on the flower of the Ger man army. namely. their storm troops, which have been cOmbed out rom all fronts and which admittedly are ire placeable.

 NEW ISSUE
Banks Requesting Holders to Present Them at Once so That New Az Per Cent Bonds Can Be Secured

The banks of the Warren district are advising the holders of Liberty bonds of the first and second issues that bear 1 per cent to convert them into new bonds that bear If per cent. The bonds can be converted at any time between now and the first of November. They do not advise the conversion of the S1k per cent bonds of the first issue. The banks upon the presentation of the bonds for con- version issue a receipt for the same and the bonds are sent to the federal reserve bank at Dallas, Tex, where the new bond is issued and then sent back to the bank.
 The bank requests that the holders begin now to bring in the bonds so that there will not be a big rush at the expiration of the time draws to a close.
 The federal reserve bank at Dallas has sent instructions to the various banks in the district in regard to the conversion and a part of the instruc- tions read as follows:
 Al of the outstanding issues of Liberty loan bends may be converted into new 4 If bonds, but the If bonds issued upon such conversion will not be Third liberty loan bonds. They will have the same dates for payment of interest, the same dates of matrFity of principle and the same dates for redemption as the bonds re- ceived for conversion and in exchange for which they have been issued"
 Holders of first Liberty loan 3i5 s have the privilege of converting into 1-4 per cent bonds on or before No vember g, 1918, and also have the privilege of converting Liberty loan 31a's into any subsequent issue of bonds issued before the termination of the war with the Imperial German government Holders of the first Lib ertv loan 31s's will lose by convert ing into 1-4 bonds such particular tax exemption features as apply speci- fically to the first Liberty loan.

 Other reports show that the German command had massed reserves and concentrated artillery to prevent any movement at this point or at its coun- terpart. near SoissOns, where the west ern jaw had already been driven ahead in a weeks fighting and now faced German reserves assembled from the whole battle line.
 Should the Franco British forces he able to enlarge their advance material ly, the great trap might be finally sprung by final overwhelming blows on both sides In that event, all or the victories pictured in tonlghts ru- mors might well be realized.
 To the cool judgment of army ohi- cers. however, the situation did not warrant on the basis of any mtorma- tion available at a late hour tonight the assumption that the time had come when the jaws of Foch's great wise might be crushed together. Knowing what they do of the strength of the Germans massed to hold back the men acing flank attacks they believed it en- tirely possible for the enemy to escape ncTthward.
 The situation cannot be clearly gauged until further information is re- ceived as to the Franco-British oper- ations west of Rheims. If the attack is pressed successfully, it seems lm- possible that the enemy can stabilize his line south of the Aisne. Secretary Baker has so far recelVed no word of the American losses in the present fighting. German press re- ports of tens of thousands of Amer ican dead before their lines are put out as a sop to the German people it is believed. MT Bakers attention was called to the German dispatch re- ferring to the American troops as fur ther "cannon fodder put into action | by the French.
 "The best information we nave ne said. seems to indicate that the Ger mans are themselves supplying most of that material at the present time. eve have no reports on our casual 1 ties as yet, but our people have much better opportunity tO know our losses ! than the Germans have because we are taking ground they have been giv- ling up and in that situation we have supcrioi opportunity for obserVa- tion.'

In the first instance there will be state advisory board of five members; consisting of state direc- tor, two representatives of labor and two of management. The chairman of the board will be a representative Of the United States employment service The board will have the power of mak- ing recommendations for the person nel of the employment service in their respective states and will advise re- garding the recruiting and the distri- button of labor and will have advisory powers regarding questions of general policies. In addition there will also be community boards in each indus trial community, composed of one rep .resentative of the United States em- plOyment service, one representative of labor and one of local employees The community boards will be the medium through which local employers en- gagged in war industries will appeal for labOrers and all details of the ac- tual workings of the new distributory system will be handled by these boards

PERSHING CORRECTS
 WRONG IMPRESSION
CBv Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, July 25.-General Pershing in a cablegram to the war department today corrected an error in the American communication of July whereby thirteen officers and men of the marine corps were listed as having awarded distinguished service crosses posthumously whereas the names should have been listed with those who survived the engagement in which they distinguished themselves. The error, the war department an- nounced, was due to the commission of a paragraph of the communication.
 The officers and men incorrectly listed were:
 Captains Keller E. ROckey and John H. Fay; First Lieutenants EdW. B. Hope; Past Assistant Surgean Ricnarn O'Shea: Surgeon Paul T. DesseZ, Ser geant Major Carl J.

Like Foch, the new Bisbee city admin istration made an offensive-upon the road from the depot to the county paving in Johnson addition and, like Foch, they did not progress very far until they stopped. But Foch had to stop. He was faced by hundreds of thousands of German reserves. The city administration was faced by slag dump hill and the waves and shell holes all the way from the foot of the hill to the county paving (note the county. But these are not unsurmOuntable obstacles. The city fathers paved the street from the depot to the head of the hill and mighty good job they did of it; in fact it Is the only smooth surface street in the city. But why pave part of the road to Warren and leave great gaps that are as rough as ducks foot? Slag hill and the road below it have not even been repaired so that one might notice it since hector was a pup. This column supported both Foch and the Bisbee administration before they assumed their respective commands. And 1t still has faith that both offensives started by its favorites will yet be carried to successful Conclusion. Hasten the day, and more power to it when it comes.

THE GERMANS AND THE MOON

The Pall Mall Gazette of London and other English publications have advanced the theory that the Germans did not make the recent offensive they had planned, all though all arrangements had been com pleted for 1t, because they were awaiting favorable phase of the moon. If such was the case, their delay was sanctioned by German customs and tradition, 2000 years old, according to Tacitus, and other ancient historians, who have described battles of the Germania.
 When Caesar was making his conquest of Gaul in 56 B. C., his aid was solicited agianst an invader from beyond the Rhine, the German chieftain, Arivistus. On one occasion the German could not be provoked to give battle for several days because the moon was not favorable. Although Caesar advanced his forces under the very nose of the chieftain, entrenched in his camp 600 yards in front of them, Arivistus would not fight. The Wise Women" or proph- etesses, had foretold disaster if the battle was made before the full moon, and the Germania dared not disregard the predic- tions of these women who they believed were inspired by the gods. They believed sancity and prescience were inherent to women, and that their counsels and divina- tions must be revered
 Caesar had requested an interview with Arivistus He had demanded cessation of the introduction of German forces across the Rhine, the surrender of the hostages of the friendly Aedui, which Arivistus re- fused. Caesar then hurried to seize the for tified city of Besancon, toward which Ari- vistus was marching. Arivistus, to gain time until the forces of the Suebi could join him, asked an interview of the Roman. On a historic mound, north of Besancon, the two arrayed in armor on horseback, with ten witnesses on each side, met Two hun dred yards behind Caesar was Roman legion-the same distance behind Ari- vistus, a troop of horse.
 When Caesar learned what the Germans wanted, he broke off the interview, and gal loped back to his army He then set about trying to make Arivistus give battle. Learn ing from captives that the Germans were awaiting a favorable change of the moon, he finally made the offensive, and after a bloody fight at the present Mumpelgard in upper Alsace, he forced the Germans to retreat.
