The armies of Generals Humbert and
Mangin move toward it,
On the front north Of soissons
''4eneral Mangin apparently is CIV
ing most attention to sharpening of
the salient which has It's apex I'M
meoiately north of Soissons He has
gained more ground east of Bag
heur and west of Mont to-
word the Soissons- Chaucy road.
ANY advance here adds to the vul-
nerability of the German line cast
ward from Soissons.
Signs of Retirement
Fires arc reported burning behind
the German positions north of the
Neslo, and 1t is believed the enemy
may be preparing to retire In
Iantry and transports have been OBJ
served moving northward from the
Vesle In the last few days. Ameri-
can and French pressure continues
along the river md the Americans
nave gained some more ground in
ton.
Foch Says "All's Well"
Everything is going we'll. We
have begun our action and we shall
continue" These are the words of
Marshal Foch. whose strategy has
placed the Germans in their pres
ent unenviable position. While the
lighting has been raging on the
front from Ypres to Rheims, the
stretch of front from Rheims to
Switzerland, where American troops
hold many sectors, has been quiet.
A blow by the Americans on the line
eats and south of Rheims would not
surprise some observers in Wash
ington.
For five weeks now Marshal Foch
has held the initiative and the Ger
mans have suffered probably the
most severe setbacks and have lost
more ground in that time than in
pny like period since 1915 on the
western front.
The sixth week has begun auspi-
ciously with the German line from
Arras to scissors wavering under
allied blows and unable to retire
without inviting disaster. In the
last week more than. 10000 prison
ers, not counting Fridays captures.
have been taken, more than fifty
towns and villages regained and the
Allies have pressed on unchecked.
Austrians Set Back in Albania
Minor fighting is going on in
northern Italy. North of Bassano
the Italians have taken some ground
in the Brenta valley. In central
Albania the Austrians have been re-
pulsed in an attack against the Ital-
ian lines.

tors and workmen will be employed
on the big operation.
The ground has been procured
and is being cleared and graded. The
houses will be of permanent con-
struction and attractive of design.
They will be of many types but of
harmonious design and the surround
ings will be handicapped. Lawns and
shrubbery will be features. Even the
smallest and cheapest of the houses
will have baths, hot water, furnaces
and ranges. The government will
either rent or sell on reasonable
terms. There will be no thought of
profit. The whole idea is to provide
large number of houses attractive
enough to hold the workman who is
looking for good living conditions
as we'll as high pay.
rs The government will dispose of the
houses after the war. Just how or
on what terms nobody now knows
and little attention is being made to
this feature. Once built the houses
will be in charge of a representative
of the government, who may be a
local man or an agent sent here
by the housing bureau.
Another Plan
Another plan considered here and
which may be worked out later is
the renovation and repair of large
of houses that have fallen
into a bad state of repair. This is
an important consideration and It is
believed that the Housing Bureau
wold listen to such a proposal even
more readily than to the erection of
large numbers of new houses.

Overcoming enemy resistance with
smashing blows, the allied forces De-
tween Arras and Scissors are moN-
Ing steadily forward, The menace
to the German positions on the oe-
mile front increases hourly as the
Allies take thousands of prisoners
and inflict heavy losses.
British Closer to Bapaume
On the north, having hurled the
Germans from more or loss import
ant positions on. a 30-mile 'front.' the
British are nearing Bapaume ana
Peronne. The fall of Bapaume, IL ls
said, would be q disaster to the
enemy. Field Marshal Haig's mon

troops are pressing close to the

the menace to the German positions
along the Vesle.
Fight as in July, 1915
The British Third and Fourtn
armies are fighting over the OLD
battlefield of the Somme and are
making marked progress IN fight
ing which resembles in intensity the
first days of the drive of July, 1915.
They have crossed the Albert-Arras
road over most of it's length. They
have seized the high ground north,
west and southwest of Bapaume and
have surrounded the important po-
sition of Thiepval on three, sides.
Closing I'm on Bray
North and south of the Somme
the British are closing in on Bray.
They, hold the heights to the mort
west. South of the river they have
taken two villages east of Bray,
which lies on the north bank. In
the area of Lihons the British are
east of Herleville.
From Chaulnes to south of Roye
the battleline remains unchanged.
French and British guns are pour
ing a heavy fire into and behind the
front here. the stability of which is
seriously shaken by the allied prog
ress to the north and south.

LOWER RATES FOR
COMPENSATION
Interesting Announcement Is
Made by E. H. Dewney. of
Rating Bureau, To-day

A general reduction In premium
rates that Pennsylvania employers
arc paying FOR werhmen's eompen-
sation Insurance Is forecast for 1919
IN a preliminary report made to-day
by E. II. Downey, ef the State In
s,iranee Department, te Insurance
Commissioners Charles A.. Amber.
The reduction, which would apply to
oil employers in pennsylvania, ex-
eept In ecal mining, inay amount to
ID per cent. OF the rates new In
force.
A meeting of ell insurance com
panleS licensed 10 write worhtn en- 8
compensation insurance In Pennsyl-
vania will probably be called by the
State Insurance, Department in Oc-
tober. when the complete data on
which the rate reduction Is pro-
posed will be presented.
The principal reason fer the pro-
posed reduction In rates, according
to Mr., Downey, is that the under
writing profits of insurance COM
paniea during 1910 and 1917, as
compensation insurance business in
Pennsylvania alone amounted to
s1,e16,gp2. or more than 10 per cent
of the total amount of S15, ,0a3
premiums collected In those years
by all companies. That profit, from
premium income alone remained
after all losses and expenses of s1s,-
741,t4i fef 1915 and 1917 were de-
Quoted from the total income and is
in excess of the amount realized
from investments, which Mr.. DowneJ
says probably aggregated 100000
on the approximately S15, 100000
income, even after all taxes and ez-
penses were deducted. A fair un-
derwriting profit Is considered to be
one and one-ha1f per cent, of pre-
MUM income.
This condition Is said by Mr.
Downey to indicate the needlessness
of fear on the part of employers that
transcription of industrially trained
disabled soldiers and sailors at suit
able tasks In Industry will have any
effect on compensation insurance
rates in Pennsylvania.
The remarkably beneficial year OF
the insurance companies was 1917
Mr.. Downey says, and was due to
the fact that wages generally increas
ed greatly during 1917, thus largely
increasing total payrolls, on each
500 of which compensation insur.
ance premium Is paid by employers
But the amount to be paid disabled
workers by the insurance companie;
did not eerfespondingiy increase will
the payroll exposure because the
Pennsylvania law sets $40 q week a'
the maximum to be paid q disabled
worker. Accidents did not increase
in 1917 over 1916 In number or de.
gree to offset the increased income
of the insurance companies.
| During 1916 the underwriting
profit was S226,707 on q total pre-.
MUM income of s6,102,224, which
indicates that the rates were equit.
able for that year and that tho un,
derwriting profit was affected ir
1917 by the general increase II
wages.
