can public is asked by the food ad-
ministration to go on sugar ration
of two pounds per capita monthly be-
ginning Aug. to meet world short
age in this commodity and care for the
immediate demands of the Allies and
American military forces. The Ameri-

ministration month ago.
Household rationing will be volun-
tary as at present, but public eating
places will be required to observe new
regulations permitting the use of two
pounds of sugar for every 80 meals
served, instead of three pounds as now.
Unless the consumption Of sugar is
reduced by householders and the pub
lie generally, the food administration
warns in an appeal made, supplies for

Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army
and other organizations working for

GERMANY IS FEELING
MANPOWER SHORTAGE
Army Chiefs This Year Have Exacted
Greater Efforts From Troops
Than Ever Before.

With the French Army in France,
July 26.-Greater efforts than ever be-
fore have been exacted this year by
German army chiefs from the troops
under their command. All divisions
have been called upon to make at least
a double effort. The correspondent is
able to demonstrate the terrific nature
of the task thrown upon, the German
soldier by the desire of the German
emperor to crush the French and their
armies before American troops ar
rived in sufficient numbers to turn
the balance.
During last year Germany possessed
on her western front between 16O and
ITO divisions. The most Of these were
engaged twice and some three times
during the entire twelve months.

-Seanen On Great Lakes Are Threaten
Ing to Tie Up Boats Carry

ASNatEington, July 26.---In the face OF
a threatened strike of seamen on the
Great Lakes, which would tie up the
transportation of iron ore, coal and
wheat essential to the war program,
the Shipbuilding Board issued q state
ment informing the public of every
step in the controversy and declaring
the board docs not feel there are any
grievances to justify a strike at this
time"
kilograms were sent to the Sailors
Union and the marine firemen, oilers
and water tenders union, pointing out
the disastrous effects which a strike
would have upon the country and its
consequent effect on the prosecution of
the war.
Chairman Hurley signed the state.
ment because the strike resolution was
so worded as to make the board a
party to the controversy.
"In issuing this statement" Mr.. Hur.
ley said, 'the shipping board has gone
fully into the grievances mentioned in
the joint strike resolution because of
the grave menace to the national
safety involved in a strike on the Great
Lakes. A stoppage of the movement
of the lake vessels would cut off the
supply of ore needed in the manufac.
ture of steel plates for shipbuflding
and many other essentials OF war, and
would jeopardize the movement OF
wheat to our army abroad and to our
allies. No strike should be called
which might be based upon misun
derstanding of what has happened, OF
which is capable Of q different solu

ALLIED VESSEL MISTAKES UNs
DERSEA BOAT FOR ENEMY. !,
Navy Department WithhoIds Identity
of Both Craft Involved In
Encounter.

Washington, July 26.-An American
submarine of the latest design has
been fired on by an Allied armed ship
of the New England coast.
The submarine was only slightly
damaged and naval tug is towing ID
to port. No one aboard the subma-
rine was injured.
The navy department did not make
known the identity of either the sub
marine or the Allied ship nor was it
announced whether the latter was
cruiser or a transport.
Appears Suddenly, Hit.
Reports to the navy department said
the submarine, which was cruising,
submerged, suddenly. appeared near
the Allied ship and the latter opened
fire.
The scene of the attack was not far
distant from the waters in which a
German submarine recently appeared
and where the American submersible
came to the surface.
Captain Feared Attack.
The captain of the Allied ship as
sumed that it was an enemy vessel
preparing to attack him.
Only one shot hit the submarine,
which quickly made known its iden-
tity when the Allied ship began to
fire. The shell struck on the deck
near the coming tower, denting sew
eral plates. 1t was announced that
the vessel could be repaired in short

GENERAL FOcH REiNFORCES Al.
LIED ARMIES CONDUCTING
POCKET MOVEMENT.
Germans Throw Thousands \ Of Re.
serves Into congested Salient
and Have Started Counter
Attack of Great Violence.

London, July 26.-General Foch has
reinforced the Allied armies conduct
ing the gigantic pocketing movement
against the Crown Princes forces in
the scissors Rheims salient.
Both jaws of the pincer are moving
smoothly, with the pivot along the
Marne working in unison, and the pro-
cess of attempting to capture many
of the nearly half million Germans
in the big pocket is well on the way
to what at present seems like possible
success.
The Germans, however, evidently do
not intend to permit themselves to be
entrapped without fighting. Having
thrown thousands of reinforcements
into the already congested salient, they
have started counter attack Of great
violence all along the semi-circular
front from the Ourcq river to the re-
gion Immediately southwest of Rheims,
and their men are said to have orders
to stem the Allied tide of advance at
all costs.
Allies Steadily Pressing On.
Nevertheless at last accounts the
Americans, French, British and italian
troops, themselves we'll reinforced to-
meet the new turn IN aIairs, were
steadily pressing forward at nearly all
points on the battle line to Rheims,
while east of the cathedral city a
Polish contingent-the first of the
Poles to enter the combat-is declared
to have carried out successfully an en-
terprise against the enemy in which
more than 200 Germans were made
prisoners.
The western jaw of the pincer con-
tinues to move eastward along the
Ourcq river, on both sides of the
stream, and the Franco-American
troops now are virtually knocking at
the gates of Fere-en-Tardenois, the i'm
portant railway junction and store
house for Germany's war supplies.
Further south on the Marne new ad.
vances have been attained.
Rheims-Fis ismes Line Threatened.
North of the Marne, midway between
Chateau Thierry and Rheims, the
French have extended their line north
ward in the forest of Fere, in the Ris
forest and north of Dormans, while
the eastern jaw of the pincer, under
pressure of the British, has moved for.
ward in a northwesternly direction for
about mile and half over a three
mile front to Mery-Premecy and Gueux,
the last named village five miles west
of Rheims, and scant mile and half
from the Rheims-Fismes road. AT
Mery-Premecy the Allied line now
stands about ten and a half miles
southeast of Fismes, which is the GEN.
trail station on the railway running be.
tween scissors and Rheims.
For a week and a day the Allied
troops have hammered against the
Soissons- Rheims salient until it's width
across between the cities has been
narrowed to about 81 miles from an
original width Of 81 miles, while the
triangular salient has been welded
into a semi-circular cul-de-sac. Over
the entire pocket the Allied artillery
continues to rain shells from all sides
and airmen are keeping up their in
tensive bombing of troop formations

AWKWARD PLIGHT
HURL LARGE FORCES AGAINST
ALLIES IN HOPE OF CHECK
ING ADVANCE.
RETIREMENT IS UNDER WAY
German Withdrawal Apparently Be-
ing Conducted In an Orderly IT
Not Deliberate Manner, Covered
by Rearguard Actions.

London, July 26-German rear
guard have again hurled themselves
at the pursuing Allied forces on the
north bank of the Marne. Before the
momentum of their blow the Allies
were obliged to withdraw from the
little wood to the north Of the town Of
Treloup, and were forced back out Of
the village of Chassins, little farther
east.
The success Of the Germans was,
however, shortlived, for they were i'm
mediately driven back by renewed
attack by the Allies.
Northward along the line toward
scissors and to the northeast toward
Rheims there have been heavy bom-
bardments but no infantry fighting is
reported
Retirement Is Under Way.
AS the days Of heavy fighting con-
tinue on the battlefield north Of the
Marne, 1t becomes increasingly appar-
ent that the German retirement is we'll
under way. This withdrawal is ap.
parently being conducted in an orderly
il not deliberate manner, being COW
cred by such rear guard actions as
that reported at Treloup and Chas-
sins.
Deadlocked on ourcq River.
North of the Ourcq river the situa-
tion is obscure owing to the lack of de.
tails given out, through official reports
or press dispatches. 1t may be said,
however, that for the moment the line
from scissors southwark to the Ourcq
has reached a stage Of equilibrium
and that the deadlock between the Of
fensive of the Allies and the defense
of the Germans will probably continue
until the former bring up sufficient
fresh troops to break the line at some
vital point.
Fere 10 Endangered.
The progress south of the Ourcq,
however, has placed in jeopardy the
village of Fere en- Tardenois, which is
one of the most important German
bases in this region. At last accounts
the French and Americans were al,
most directly south of this place.
Military critics in Paris incline to
the view that General Ludendorff will
probably launch new attack on some
other sector of the front in an effort
to gain a local success to gloss over
his failure on the Marne. He might
by this means also wrest the initia,
tive from General Foch and force the
latter to remove some of his troops
from the Soissons- Rheims area.
