BRITISH LORD
 0F ADMIRALTY
 TALKS ON SHIPS
TELLS WONDERS ACCOMPLISHED BY ALLIES DURING LAST YEAR IN REBUILDING ERc HANT MARINE AND NAVY OF THE UNITED STATES

LONDON, July 3O.-Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the British admiralty. gave the house of commons today a review of the naval situation and particularly defended the policy of starting nation sI ship building yards in discussing the ship building program in connec- tion with the navy estimates.
 The first lord compared the situa- tion today regarding tonnage with that Of year ago. Then the net loss in tonnage. he said. was 5G.000 gross tons monthly. Submarines then were not being destroyed as fast as the Germans were building them, while the merchant ship yards were short of men and material. Four hundred tf.ousand tons net loss moGthly was the British deficit Every yard tha' could take naval work had been put on naval building.
 Gradually during the wear. he said the position had changed in many di- rections. Instead Of losing tonnage the worlds net result in tho last quarter had keen a gain roughlv Of 100000 tons Iacnth. The al.ec and neutral world was as well off on June 90 as on Janur ary ] 1918. This result. he declared, had been obtained by reduced sinkings and increasd buildings.
 The reduced sinkings had been ar rived at, he said. bv a greater pro ductive effort devoted to warships and small craft of an anti-submarine char acter Nothing was included of com mandeered or acquired tonnage in this result.
 'The problem of year ago was con sidered by many almost inconceivable and insoluble." Sir Erie said "Mer- cantile carrying power was being sunk at Q rate which soon would have meant an inability to continue the war, and there was no tried recognized

SCHWAB ANNOUNCES
RESERVE ESTABLISHED WHICH WILL BE KEPT AT LEVEL AT ALL TIMES; INDUSTRIOUS PROF ITS MADE BY UNITED STATES STEEL FOR SECOND QUARTER
CBy Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Steel re quirements of the shipping board for the next three months call for 100000 tons, an increase of 250,000 tons over the regular monthly schedule for that period. This increase is desired so as to provide a reserve of 1,33O,OOO tons by November.
 The requirements, it was learned to- night, were placed before the steel manufacturers of the country by Dt rector General Schwab of the emerg- ency fleet corporation. at the meeting held yesterday in New York The reserve stock is regarded by MT. Schwab as a stimulus to production and plans have been made to keep il intact
 Allocation of the present reserve of 1,0S0 900 tons is fairly good, according to the shipping board officials. d. though several Pacific coast yards still are in need of steel
 The steel schedule of the shipping board calls for delivery of 250,0O0 tons monthly. but it was said that request had been made bx Mir. Schwpb that de- liveries during August, September and October be increased approximate ly S0,000 tons monthly. This increase, it is believed will prove a reserve fer each ship building yard. that will act as an incentive to wOrkmen in turning out tonnage.

GERMANS MAY TURN
GERMANS DRIVE AMERICANS OUT OF ONE TOWN BUT COUNTER ATTACKS REGAIN LOST POSI- TONS AND ADD MORE TERRI TORY TO OUR MEMS HOLDINGS

UNDATED WAR LEAD, BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. - American troops fighting north of Ourcq river on the Soissons-Rheims salient have enlarged their brilliant victory Of Monday at Sargy, where they cut to pieces divisions of Germany's pickeS troops and took and held the village against counter attacks.
 Notwithstanding continued heavy opposition by guns, machine guns and large numbers of the enemy, soldiers from the middle western and eastern states drove their line outward from Sergy Tuesday for a distance of about two miles and were resting at night on the slopes approaching the woods beyond the town of Nesles. Where they stood at the last accounts the Americans formed the apex of the long line running across the salient.
 While the bitter fighting was in pro gress between the Americans and Ger mans. the French troops on both sides of the fighting front also moved for ward for goOdiy gains nortbe9st oi Fere En TardenOis a4id Cd lOf Sergy.

 Prussian guards and Bavarians were in the thick of the fighting through cut Tuesday, but again they were out maneuvered and out-fought by the Americans and again suffered heavy casualties.
 The Germans apparently are on the eve of attempting to end their retreat from the SOissOns-Rheims salient and turning and offering frontal battle in force to the entente allied armies
 The day of rear guard actions seems drawing to a close. Violent counter of fensive measures against their antag- onists already are in progress by the Germans over most of the battle front
 Further gains have been made by the allies, only after the bitterest fighing Standing firmly, and giving ground only under absolute necessity, the allied troops everywhere have ex- acted huge toll
 Particularly heavy has been the fighting in the center of the salient and on the right and left anchor points resting respectively southwest of Rheims and south of Soissons. It still is on the two anchor points that the Germans are keeping a most watchful eye, fearful that the allied troops may yet press back the line and threaten the armies of the Ger man crown prince with the pincer maneuver, for the Germans are not yet far enough out of the pocket to have passed the danger.
 In the center of the pocket. north of the Ourcq river the Germans in counter attack drove the Americans out of Cierges, but this slight gain was more than overcome later by the pene- tration of the Americans northward from Sergy. Beugnuex, lying on the west side of the pocket northwest of

(By the Associated Press. )- Six war-tired American congressman were on their way back to Paris today after having witnessed from a hill. side on Monday, the tussle for posses. sion of the town of Sergy, two and half miles southeast of the former Germans base at Fere En TardenOIs in the SOissOns-R Rheims pocket. They probably would have remained on the eminence longer had not the German heavy shells begun exploding ever head. One congressman remarked that the Germans could quit that sort of business right then so far as he was concerned.

 They lunched on the hillside of Chateau ThieTry. While eating a fash ionably attired woman from Paris came to the ruins of her old home where she found a group of American soldiers in possession. The woman explained her mission in broken Eng fish. She went to the basement, re. quested the aid of the American sol diers and had a private dig at point indicated.

BONES OF BETWEEN TWENTY FIVE AND FIFTY PEOPLE OF ALL AGES FOUND IN DARK CAVE ON INDIAN RESERVATION NEAR CITY OF PHOENIX

ONLY ONE OF THREE CAVES Ex- AHMED FOUND TO BE TREAS URE HOUSE OF BONES APPEAR ENTLY THOSE OF MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN LONG DEAD
rRv Ravlew Leased Nird

PHOENIX, Ariz.. July 30-From twenty-five to fifty skeletons were found in three caves on an Indian reservation twenty-two miles west of the city today. An investigation by the sherif's office of one of the caves was not concluded today. Eight skeletons were found intact. Several skulls were scattered about in the farther recesses of this cave and skeletons were seen in the other two caves but they were not examined. The search will be continued tomorrow.
 The skeletons were those of adults and cE;ldren. one of them being less than two feet in length. It had on a dress, the bottom of which was trimmed with lace. Saddles and spurs were scattered about.
 The nickel plated furnishings of some of the spurs were but slight ly tarnished. The clothing of the skeletons was but little worn The shoes of one showed no sign of wear.
 The Indians living in the coun- try say that they know nothing about it. The officers have not yet formed a theory. They say the skeletons may have been in the caves for ten years.
 The skeletons were found by Jose Yberri who was crossing the reservation and whose attention was attracted by a stone barricade on the side of a gulch. When he went to it he saw the caves which had been made by the action of wind or water. removing the soft earth from beneath a layer of caliche. He next saw an old sad dle near the entrance of one of the caves. Going in. when he had become accustomed to the dark ness, he saw the entire floor GOV cred with skeletons. After a hur- ried investigation of one of them he came to the office of the sher- ilT and reported the discovery.
