nearly two miles, and q continuation of
the British "rihblng' tactics along the
northern front were believed to day to
have disrupted the plans of the German
high command to send re-enforcements
to endangered troops in the Soissons-
Rheims salient.
With the Franco American troops
making a steady advance between Sois-
sons and Chateau-Thierry and French,
British and Italian forces battering
away on the German flank from the
vicinity of Rheims. fresh German re-
serves had been called from more north
ern points along the front. The French.
by their sharp attack yesterday at
have probably held up the dispatch Of
these reserves. In the meantime the
position of the enemy in the pocket like
salient between the Marine and the Aisne
grows more dangerous. Cnfavorable
weather conditions intcrfered to some
extent with the Allied advance in this
region yesterday. but with the drying Of
the terrain and the return OF more
favorable conditions for air fighting the
gradual closing in of the mouth of the
salient is eyncCted to continue. Whether
the Germans will he able to escape be-
fore the jaws of General Foch's pncer
movement close in will soon be known.
Possibilities of the Montdidcr attack
developing into more than a local opera
tiCn designed to hold back the German
reserves was seen by many officials. In
the opinion of some it was another in
dication of the taking of an offensive
position by the Allied troops all along
the front. The beginning of an offensive
on the Picardy sector, signs of which
have been seen. would furnish the final
proof that General "och has decided
that American troops have reached
France in sufficient numbers to out
weigh German numerical superiority and
that the time has arrived to assume
offensive tactics at all points.

MARCH STRESSES
STEADY ADVANCE
Gains on Marine Constant,
Chief of Staff
Says
FOE DEFENDS RAILWAY
Desperately Fights to Retain
Fismes.Fere Route for
Supplies
b. the Associated Press


Washington. July "a.
The advance of the Allied and Amer
lean forces around the Aisne-Marne
salient has been virtually steady for the
last two days, General March. chief of
staff, anpunced today, despite the fact
that fifteen fresh divisions of German
troops have been thrown into the fight
ing at Scissors and on the line south
of there.
The Germans are fighting desperately
to retain the single railway line re-
naming in their hands, over which
heavy material can be removed as they
retreat GeAeral March said.
If that railway, running from Fismes
to Fere-en-Tardenois is reached by the
Allied troops. General March explained,
German forces remaining in the salient
will be pocketed.
On the Rheims side of the salient Off
cial reports show the enemy has been
thrown back an average distance of n
mile and half on ten-mile front. de-
spite heavily wooded country and high
ground to aid his defense.
The area lost by the Germans during
the last week, the general said. about
equals that gained by them on the Flan-
ders front in April.
Inc Cn1ef or stan said the American
divisions he mentioned last Saturday as
involved in the fighting were still con-
stantly engaged.
He added no additional American units
to those already known TO be on the
line in this region.
In discussing the situation on the
Aisne-Marne line General March said it
bore striking similarity to what had
happened 20 the Austrian drive into
italy. A great storm had cut off the
advancing Austrians on the Piave line
he said, and disaster resulted. Simi-
larly, heavy storm masked the move
ment of tanks and troops when General
Foch struck on the Soissons-C Chateau-
Thierry front and the Germans were
taken completely by surprise.
General March said II seemed that the
Lord was getting tired of the partnership
Of me und Gott."
The French attack of yesterday north
of Montdidier. on the Picardy front, is
viewed, General March said. as a local
operation not directly involved in the
strategy of the Aisne- -Marne battle front
1t has great value. however. he explain
ed. as It serves to keep the Germans
guessing.

GERMANS FIGHT HARD
ON BANKS OF MARINE
London, July "A.

London, July "a.
In their fighting along the Marine
the French are reported to be eX.
periencing great difficulty in making
a passage of the river at some points,
being stubbornly opposed by the Ger
man infantry, well supported by ar.
ti'ery and machine guns.
The French. however, have sue.
reeded in effecting another crossing at
Pont.a -Binson. just to the west of
Reuil. The enemy counter-attacked
heavily from the direction Of Van
dieres, but his cnslaughts were beaten
off
The French stormed the heights
north Of Courcelles. They are also
holding the bend in the ne.ghborhood
of Chassons as far as Treloup. These
towns are just to the north of the
Marne, to the east of Jaulgonne, taken
by the Americans. Treloup at the
latest advices. is still in the hands OF
the enemy.
The Germans apparently over
whelmed some of the French troops
across the river south of Nincelles an6
north Of Dormans.
On the front between the Marine
and Rheims the British have captured
the Petitcham Wood, near NarfauX
with 200 prisoners and fourteen ma
chine guns.

anticipate this with pleasure.
He also criticizes the Reichstag ma

ADVICE TO WOOL GROWERS.

Reports from Washington and Bos-
ton. Mass. state that the members Of
the Boston Wool Trade Association
have agreed TO accept Major General
Cocktails proposal 10 FIX the price
Of wool at present on a basis Of the
price Of July 30th, 1917. The Gov
eminent win take over all wool In the
warehouses on this basis. IL holders
do not agree TO sell, their wool will
be eommandeered. The greater part
Of this wool will be used by the Gov
eminent for uniforms and other Gov
eminent supplies and that which re-
mains will be distributed among the
mills for civilian Needs. Major Cen
eral Goethal advises all wool eenters
that the 1918 slip should not be dis
posed Of during the next thirty days
in order that the Government may
have time 10 determine its exact
needs for the coming year. Reports
from Washington indicate that TIE
Government will arrange to receive
the 1918 clip on the basis Of the
price mentioned. but urges the pro-
dueers not to dispose Of their wool
rntil more definite information Is
made available.
II would seem advisable for Ken
lucky wool producers to pack and
store their seasons clip in the best
possible way for at least n few weeks
until the Government has issued
more definite information. Care
should be taken by producers 10 so
pack their wool that the quality win
not be injured by standing or mil
dew. In packing wool away either
store Il in wool sacks or in a clean
dry bin.

dandry Of the College Of Agriculture.

BIG PHILIPPINE SUGAR CROF
Modern Machinery, SuppIanting Hand
Labor, Results in Planting of
Immense Acreage.

The Philippines are like most Of the
sugar cane growing regions in that the
available labor supply is comparatively
limited. To overcome this the tractor
and modern power machinery is being
introduced. AS this does not pay on
the small plantations, the custom is
for one organization to operate sew
eral hundred or thousand acres, and
well-Organized system is involved
throughout the year. Labor-saving de-
vices are employed wherever possible.
The first process in harvesting sugar
cane is stripping the leaves from the
stalks, an operation requiring much
time and labor, as this must be done
by hand. A cane knife or bolo is used
by the native laborer, who passes the
knife down each side of the cane,
knocking off and throwing them into
the middle of the row, where other Ia
borers pick them up and load them
to be hauled to the mill.
Sugar cane milling under modern
methods may be divided into four es-
sential processes, namely, the extrac-
ton Of the juice from the cane, the
Qualification of the juice by boiling, the
evaporation Of the juice SO as to re-
duce the sugar to the crystalline form,
and the freeing Of the sugar from
impurities. The most modern ma
chinery for all operations is fast being
installed throughout the Philippine is
lands, and American consumers may
look forward to securing the bulk Of
their sugar from these distant dots
on the Pacific, which owe their de-
velopment to American capital and
American leadership.

CATERPlLLARS CAUSE RASH
Several Cases Of Blood Poisoning Re-
ported at Emergency Hospital of
Salt Lake City.

No less than four cases of blood poi
soning and body rash caused by a
virulent variety of caterpillar have
been reported to the emergency hos
pital, says the Salt Lake Tribune. Mrs.
Dean r. Daynes of 876 South West
Temple street, appealed to the city
officials for advice in regard to a rash
that had broken out on her baby's
back. Mrs. Daynes said she had found
an ordinary looking yellow caterpillar
in her baby's clothing and discovered
the rash later. She was advised to
call in physician Immediately.
"Caterpillars are the larvae of a
lepidOpterous insect, not necessarily a
butterfly, in the first stage of meta
morphosis," according to Webster. The
larvae Of such insects as the ge0m.
etrid moth or the hawk moth are
smooth and are not poisonous. The
large yellow haired ones have pencil
of hairs that look like horns and a
,fasicule Of hairs that resembles tail.
1t is the sting from these hairs that
poisons, as 1t is almost impossible for
the insect to bite.
No case Of a caterpillar sting has
proved fatal, so far as the officials Of
the Salt Lake hospitals know. Mothers
were advised to keep their very young
children off lawns and from beneath
trees, unless some one was in attend
ance to watch them.
George Williams, thirty-eight years
old, of 537 South West Temple, also
Of Salt Lake, was bitten on the thigh
by caterpillar while In bed. Within
an hour the poison had spread through
his entire system and rash had
broken out on his arms and back. He
was treated at the emergency hos
pital, bringing the caterpillar with
him.
