examination, according to statement
issued by the provost marshal general.
This number, however, included men
who had previously enlisted or been
commissioned and had failed to notify
their boards, some who had died, and
many who were transferred to other
boards but by mistake had been car

estimated at 100000.
Many of the remaining 10000 were
aliens, number of whom left the

Germany's war leaders are using the
submarine to prevent fulfillment Of
Americas agreements to feed and re-
lieve European neutrals, according to
a statement by the war trade board.
1t says:
"a mass of cumulative evidence and
indications in the possession Of the
war trade board shows that Germany
is employing the submarine menace to
prevent neighbor Heutrals receiving
any food or favOrs at the hands Of the
United States and its associates in
the war, and to coerce these neutrals
through starvation and political and
economic dependence upon Germany,
quite as much as to strike at the COM
munications of its opponents-Ger-
many's Ostensible aim in proclaiming
the ruthless submarine campaign.
Further indications tend to show
that the submarines are being used
along similar dog-in-the-manger lines,
to destroy neutral shipping without re-

 forces are now sufficiently strong to justify vigorous offensive action"
 Staff officers believed another forty-eight hours might see the
 Germans beating a nasty retreat
 from the salient they now hold
 south of the Marne and possibly
 from the whole great bend they forced in the allied line when they
 struck on the Chemin Des Danes
 front last May and forced their
 way to the Marne. Unless the Franco-American troops are
 brought to a halt definitely be- fore Sunday night, it is predicted
 that the enemy will be forced to
 fall back Even if he is success
 ful in evading the jaws of the clos
 ing trap he will be compelled to abandon vast quantities of war
 material and will lose many pris- oners in making good his escape, it is believed.
 For the first time the German of. ficial statement made no claim of hay ing advanced on the line they assailed Monday.
 There is evidence the energy of France, England and the United States is being concentrated on getting ready for later blows.
 The enlarged army plan Secretar- Baker told congress he was having worked out is taking shape. It is cer- tain that extension of the draft age limits are to be asked.
 n,o s,,Efo,t;a,, Nf ;- worked out came recently when it was announced in parliament that British ships had carried in excess of 100000 American troops to France and that British ships would be available through the coming months to transport Amer jeans at an even increased rate.
 Two other phases of operation on the western front are attracting wide attention here. One of these is the succession of local blows being deliv. cred by French and Italian forces along the fronts north and south of the Marne where the enemy made his only important gains during the pres ent week. If withdrawal is forced by the Aisne-Marne advance of the allied forces, it is clear that the French and Italians are ready to take quick ad. vantage of the enemy's disorganiza. tion and hammer his retiring columns hard
 The other is along the British front The capture of Meteren today adds an. other to a score of almost daily local advances the British are marking up. There is a widespread belief British counter attack is to be expected. Should the Germans be forced to draw off reserves from the northern lines to meet the situation in the Aisne salient it is regarded as certain that he will feel the weight of the British army.

 We must admit that to change a peace-loving democracy into a nation which shall make an effective modern war on a huge scale is no easy task. There must be waste of money. effort and time. Much has been done by the administration and well done. We should not minimize in any degree the credit due to it for our cOnscription law.

 We need not dwell upon the unfor- tunate delays in the manufacture Of rifles. machine guns. artillery. ships and airplanes or the costly blunders Of the coal administration. They should be used as lessons. The credit of the administration for the work which has been done. however, should not be exaggerated by ignoring the great powers freely given it by congress.

agreed upon by the companies some time ago. the wage raise for each one cent additional would bring the raise agreed upon about thirty-five cents, SO that the announcement that it would be fifty cents was dOubly vel come. Before July 1 the companies were paying wages based on twenty six-cent copper, although they were receiving but twenty-three and a half cents. Now they are paying on the basis of thirty-cent copper. and ueceiy- ing twenty-six cents per pound.
 The increase in the price was due to persistent efforts on the par. Cf the producers and the employees alike, the negotiations for which exJsnl over a considerable period of time. The sole purpose of these efforts was to get a price that would allow for high CT wages; it will mean little or nOth- ing to the profits of the company.
 It is undoubtedly true that a few of the companies would have been able to pay a slightly higher wage with twenty-three and a half cent copper. but if these few had done so, il would have caused much instability in the labor situation, trouble in the camps which could not afford an increase. curtailing of production in properIies of higher costs without correspond ing increase in production, and would have effectually stopped smaller pro- ducers. The condition would have re- acted to the ultimate disadvantage of the country as a whole by a lessensd production of the red metal at higher costs.
 A varying scale of wages In differ ent mining camps closely situated would have brought about an excess of labor in some camps and Q shortage in others. It would have been a condi- ton similar 10 that reported from the ship yards, where stories of high wages led to an excess of labor.
 There is no question about the labor ing man being entitled to more wages, for the cost of living is increasing rapidly Simultaneous announcements of the increase of the price of copper and the increased wage scale indicate clearly the purpose of the effort for the higher price, even though tie mes sage of the president accompanying this increase did not mention the fact.
 MT Thomson expressed IS his opin- ion that the increase would be retro active. beginning July 1. and it is prob able that it will be general in scope.

 Despite the fact that the most of our players will be affected by Secre- tary Bakers construction of the work or fight order, it is my impression that the major leagues will make ev- cry effort to complete the season. The clubs will try to recruit their teams from men who are above the draft age.

CINCINNATI, July 19.-Chairman August Hermann of the National baseball commission, issued a state ment heretonight relative to Secretary of War Bakers decision placing base ball in the list of nOn-essentials. MT Hermann said:
 Tt is apparent that Secretary Baker has given the matter his most serious consideration and his conclusions are beyond doubt based on the highest motives. Just what the method of pro- cedure of the club owners will be will be determined in the next few days. I am sure there is only one conclu- sion and that is constituted authOri- tatively and will be upheld. His sug- gestion that many players are beyond the draft age and therefore it is by no means certain that complete disoT ganization of the business will follow, is a matter for the clubs to determine.
 The interested parties will take up with the proper authorities at once the method of procedure in closing out the business temporarily. if it IS deemed necessary. We must have a ruling at once as to the status of the players in seeking special employment, the length of time to be given them to do so and whether it will De necessary to apply to the local board having orig inal jurisdiction. Something may be devised that the game will continue in some manner or other until the close Of the season, having in mind that the order must and will be respected. The baseball interests have been loyal and patriotic and will continue to be so. The order will be respected to the very letter"
