100000 BRIToNs IN UNIFORM
100000 Are Now Fighting In Foreign
Theaters Of War.

Washington.-Lor Curzon, mem
Der of the British war cabinet, gave
out figures recently in a speech, por-
tons of which have been received
here by wireless, which show the ex-
tent or the British war effort in man
power
Lord Curzon said that Great Brit.
ain had given no fewer than 1000, 900
men and that 100000 Britons were
today fighting in foreign theaters of
war.
Allowing for casualties and pre-
suming these figures to include the
navy. they are taken as demonstrate
ing the fact that the only troops in
England now are men on leave and
men in depots, either in the supply
services or undergoing re-orgauiza-

NEW LOAN BEGINS SEPT. 20
Amount Not Made Public, But Prob
ably Will Be for $4,000, 600, 900.

Washington-The campaign for the
fourth Liberty loan will open Satur-
day, September %, and will continue
three weeks. ending October 10, it
was announced by Secretary McAdoo.
In fixing three weeks as the length
of the campaign for the fourth loan,
instead of four weeks as in previous
loans, treasury officials plan for a
more intensive campaign. A shorter
campaign, it was said, will also en-
able more business men to enlist as
workers.
The date OF the campaign was an
nounced at this time in order to al
low campaign organization to prepare
for sale of bonds and to prevent plan
ming other campaigns which might
interfere.
Although official announcement has
not been made, the amount OF the
loan probably win be $4,000, 100000
and the bonds viii pay 41-2 per cent
interest.

dorsing Governor Sleeper's proposal
for the construction OF community
house at Camp Custer were adopted
by Michigan war workers of &c coun-

I'VE recommend the erection of a
Michigan state community house at

wives, fathers, mothers, sweethearts,
relatives and friends Of our noble
sons, and We request the Michigan
war preparedness board to use the
necessary funds, already appropriated

BE It further resolved, that we
condemn the slackers, and recon-
mend that the next Legislature pass

of this state to the fullest possible
extent, to bring about means whereby

WAR LABOR BOARD RAISES MEN
Conductors and Motormen in Several
Cities Given Raise.

hington-Motormen and con-
ductors OF the Detroit street railway
lines were Thursday awardtd a wage
ranging from 4S to 4S cents an hour
by the National War Labor Board. ST.
milar awards were made to trainmen
on surface lines in Chicago. The wage
awarded motormen and conductors of
the Chicago elevated lines range from
40 cents to so cents.
The schedule for the Detroit Unit
ed Railway Company effective June
l, with the company allowed until
September l to make back payments
was set as follows:
Motormen and conductors, first
three months 43 cents an hour: next
nine months as cents and hereafter

awarded a wage ranging from SS
cents to AZ cents.
The effective date of the wage in
crease in Pittsburgh is May "a, in
Schenectady May 1; in New Orleans
July /.
The board in handing down the de-
cision recommended to President VIII
son that proper legislation be enact
ed to permit of increased fares in cit
les where they are necessary to meet
the added operating costs.
In event OF such legislation being
unwise, the board calls upon the
people of the communities affected
cheerfully to abide by such fare in
creases as local authorities recon-
mend.

southwest of Ville-en-Tardenois in a
most difficult position, from which
they will have trouble escaping.
The Americans, in desperate hand
to-hand fighting in which the enemy
only gave up position when he was
overwhelmed by sheer force, advanc-
ed northward from Sergy almost to
Cambry and eastward from Sergy to
the Meuniere wood, the northern part
OF which they occupied.
French troops gained Cierges, west
of Meuniere wood and pressed on,
completing the capture of the entire
wood.
A line drawn eastward from Gre
maille, held by the French, leaves St.
Gemme, the apex Of the V-salient
east of Fere, six miles to the south.
Thus, the Germans would have to re-
tire a maximum of six miles to place
their line east OF Fere on a horizontal
with that to the west.
Apparently the German crown
prince has resolved to hold his pres
ent line at all costs and to go north
ward to the line of the Vesle only
before allied pressure Reports from
the battle zone, say the Germans are
fighting to the bitter end and seldom
retire. The crown prince also seems
to have made every effort TO organ
ize his defenses as well as time and
allied attacks permitted.
Notwithstanding this resistance and
the evident intention to fight rather
than TO withdraw, the allies continue
to progress in the center of the pocki
ct. Gen. Foch's policy seems to be
to hammer hard at vulnerable points
and thus ease the way for gains on
adjacent sectors. These tactics
brought worth while gains Thursday
and appear likely to provide more.
Only the artillery has been active
elsewhere on the western front, the
Germans seemingly paying all their
attention to the Marine battlefield.
The aerial fighting on the British
front has been very heavy for the
past few days, generally a sign of
approaching infantry movements.
