French Make Progress
Haig Busy and Successful

In the latest fighting in the region extending from the old Noyon sector to Soissons. the French have reclaimed thirty villages from the Germans: nave crossed the Somme canal at several points and are standing only a short distance from the important junction of Ham with its roads leading to St. Quentin and La Fere.
 On the south they have made fur ther crossings of the Ailette river and are fast skirting the great wooded re- zion which acts as barrier to direct attack on Laon, the Chemin des Danes, and the western Aisne defenses of the enemy. Seemingly at the present rate of progress, this barrier shortly will have been overcome and indeed the en- tire salient northwest of Soissons ob- liberated. Already the French south Of Fresnes, on the fringe of the high for est of Coucy, have penetrated the old Hindenburg line.
 Fall Back 0, Old Lines 1 All behind the lines northeast of | Noyon great conflagrations are to be seen. particularly around Juvissy and La Fere which apparently indicates that the Germans intend to fall back as fast as they can to the old German lines running southeastward from St | Quentin. The French and Americans are hard after the Germans between the Vesle river and the Aisne and for more than eight miles, extending from Condo to Viel-Arcy, they have driven the enemy across the Aisne and arc standing on the southern bank of tho river.

 Two thousand government agents have been working on the case ever since the explosion and scores of per sons known to be of radical tendencies have been arrested and questioned.
 Four theories are offered by the po- lice to explain the outrage. First that 1t was an I. W. W. plot to permit the escape of William D. Haywood secre- tary-treasurer of the organization. as he was in the building at the time of the blast; second, that it was the work of a German sympathizer; third, that it was placed by an anarchist. and fourth, that 1t was the work of a ("crank."

 The battle was between Jim Vaughn and Babe" Ruth.
 These two giants fought it out all the way and although Ruth allowed six hits to his opponents five in an errorless game, the break went to the invaders.
 Effect of War Apparent
 The effect of the war was every- where apparent, especially in the tenn per of the crowd which largely local, saw the home team drop the first game without protest. There was no cheering during the contest, nor was there anything like the usual umpire batting.
 Hank" O'Day of the National Lea que. who officiated behind the plate, was caught munching a bag of peanuts after the game.
 We were not roasted once during the game by players or spectators, he said.
 ! Attendance Exactly 1924
 Todays attendance was precisely 1s,2l4. Rain caused postponement of the first game scheduled for yester- day. Today the downpour had ceased and the grounds were comparatively dry.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-It is ex- tremely unlikely that President Wilson will make a tour of the country in be- half of the fourth Liberty loan. Be- cause of the pending revenue legisla- ton and other important matters the president was understood today to feel that prolonged absence from Wash ington this month would be unwise.
 While no definite announcement that the president would make a swing around the country speaking for the loan had been made, it was generally understood that he was planning a trip that would take him to the Pacific coast

ESTABLISHES DRY ZONES AROUND WAR
 WORKING PLANTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-Although the senate today adopted a resolution authorizing the president to establish dry zones around coal mines, ship yards, intuition and other war plants. it again failed to reach a final vote on the emergency agricultural appropri- ation bill with its rider providing for national prohibition from July 1, 1919. until the nations huge army is mus tered out after the war.
 The resolution for prohibition zones about war plants was a part of the prohibition rider" It was adopted separately, however. upon representa- tions that the prohibition bill might be delayed and that the president should be given the power immediately to cro- ate the proposed zones Offered by Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, the sep arate resolution was sEproved without roll call and after scant debate. Later an effort was made by Representative Miller of Minnesota to bring the reso lution before the house but Represen- tative Dent of Alabama objected and it went over.
 Long Discussions Delay Action
 Long discussion of the "slacker round up" at New York and of the fed eral trade commission and it's report on profiteering occupied most of the sen- ate's time today and prevented a vote despite attempts of prohibition cham- pions to hasten disposal of the meas ure, which has been before the senate since last May
 Prohibition leaders said action of tine senate in separately adopting the gene legislation would not interfere with or embarrass the prohibition section of the bill. They plan it's retention in the az ricultural measure upon final passage. The senate also deferred action today on the amendment of Senator Bark head of Alabama, proposing govern ment purchase of distilled spirits left in storage when the prohibition clause becomes effective.
 Would Exempt 11,000 Men In considering food production ap- propriation items in the bill today, Sen ator King of Utah endeavored to strike out many which, he contended, were wasteful and already provided for ir the regular funds of the Department ot Agriculture. Senator King also at tackled the entire bill, declaring that ii enacted, it would exempt from militar, service 11.000 men in the departmeI., needc-: to carry it into effect. This was denied by Senator Sheppard of Texas

WILSON CALLS
 FORREPORT ON
 LATE ROUNDUP
President Wants to Know
 Circumstances Attending Arrest of Alleged Slack ers," Call off Further Raid
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-Presidant Wilson has asked Attorney General Gregory. for a complete report of the circumstances surrounding the slack CT roundup" in New York City this week, in which upwards of 10000 men were taken into custoG-- by agents oG the department of justice. the military intelligence bureau and soldiers and sailors, on suspicion that they were at tempting to cvade the selective service law.
 The presidents purpose was not made known. His request was transmitted after the matter had been vigorously debated today in the senate and Sena- tor Shoot of Utah, republican. had of fered a resolution proposing an inves- tigation by the senate military com mittee to establish who issued orders for the use of soldiers and sailors in the roundups. Objection by Senator Kirby of Arkansas, democrat, caused the resolution to go over. but Senator Shoot plans to call it up again Monday.
 Guided From Washington
 The roundups were conducted under the direction of federal district attor- neys who unquestionably acted under guidance from Washington. At the of flee of Provost Marshal General Crow der today it was said the arrests were made without authority from or knowl- edge of that office. It was regarded as possible however. that representatives of the office in New York had assisted in the work. No word was forthcom- ing from the war and navy depart ments as to who issued orders for sol diers and sailors to participate.
 Several Enter Protests
 In calling the attention of the senate today to the wholesale arrests, Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the military committee. said he objected to such unauthorized procedure. He was joined in his protest by Senators Calder of New York, Johnson of California sherman of Illinois, Republicans, and other senators, while Minority Leader Lodge was insistent that the country should know who was responsible fol the employment of the nations fight ing men in such an undertaking
 Senators Defend Arrests
