 Some 10000 men of the army are now engaged in getting out spruce timber in the northwest an1 the signal corps constantly is increasing this number.

 Some of the men, it was explained, have thumb, or toe or eye missing ing. but almost everyone of them is engaged in an active business and thus were held to be of some use in the military establishment After months of study it was decided to call them into branches of the army engaged in producing equipment for the fighting men.

THIN ALLIED LINE. GIVES WAY BEFORE. WAVE AFTER WAVE. OF PICKED TROOPS.
Chemen des Danes, Soissons Fall; Machine Guns, Tanks and Artillery in Great Num- bers Aid Attackers.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. May 29 CBy the Associated Press) The Germans advanced against the French lines again today after throwing further masses of troops into the battle. Both Hanks of the battle line were the scene of very heavy fighting by inferior numbers against superior, with the result that the allies were obliged to again cede ground at several points.
 Besides lOn BOehm's and vOnBelow's armies many many divisions Of von Hutier's troops were engaged. These especially trained units had partici- pated in the first rush on March 2l end had since then been reconstructed.
 Employ Many Weapons
 An enormous number of light ma chine sdns were employed by the Ger mans as well as a large fleet of tanks and much heavy and light artillery, while tie German aviators were eX- tremely Sctive.
 From the plain towards Juvincourt, Vile Aux Bois, Pontavert and Berry Au Bac. numerous tanks came into ac- tion. IEo~ a considerable time the thin allied line held out, but as the enemy debouched, wave after wave, the French and British. almost submerged, fell back slowly, getting across the river. Several British officers after ward sacrificed their lives in destroy ing bridges.
 Alma5t simultaneously .overpowering enemy forces made their way to the top of tke Chemin Des Danes ridge and also to the western end of this road in the neighborhood of Chavignon and Malmaison, and the troops holding these points were obliged to recede.
 Retire in Good Order
 The allied movement to the rear was executed with the greatest precoution. there was no disorder and all the units kept in constant Jason
 In the directicon of Soissons read justment of the front line became necessary in consequence of the fall ing back oi the center where the Ger mans were pushing hardest.
 The fighting has been continuous fer two days through a country composed of a series of ehalky plateaus, with widening valleys, whose slopes are half-cl0lhed with trees and containing many -avines. Along the top of one of the principal ridges runs the fam ous Chemin Des Danes, from which valleys spread angula2ly towards cis Aisne. The allied possession of this ridge compromised the security of the German southern flank
 
 The enemy's torrent of divisions, rolling forward, found only the thin nest line of allied troops facing the ad- vance. These fell back before the ir- resistable pressure, retiring but strUg- gling yaliantly. The torrent as it moved forward became even stronger, for the Germans added new forces to 1t. Even the Aisne did not stay it's rush.

Japanese Minister Declares Entente Has Made No For maj Demand for Siberian Interference by Nipon.
Csy Review Leased wire)

LONDON, May 29.-The Daily Mail today publishes from it's Tokio core spOndent an interview with the Jap anese foreign minister. Baron Shimpei Goto, which is, remarkable for its dis cussion by question and answer O. Jarans good faith toward the allies and of the pro-Germanism attributed to Baron Goto in some quarters. The interview is mainly concerned with the prospects Of Japanese intervention in Siberia
 Baron Goto said the allies had made no formal proposal to Japan for such intervention, but that any suggestions by the allies would receive sympa- thetic consideration. Asked what con- pensation Japan would demand Ior in- terventiOn. Baron Goto replied that this would depend on varying circuu- stances-siZe of the army. the extent Of the theaters of operations and the like.
 Allied Cause Comes First
 But at the present moment" the foreign minister said. we are not thinking of compensation, but only of everything for the allied cause, which we have faithfully made our own''
 Concerning the relations of Japan with the United States, Baron GOtO said that since the steel difficulty had been settled, Japan no longer had any cause for complaint-e -.-- -------
 Questioned concerning the Japanese politicians who, the correspondent cold fD haf Tan .n was not allied with Germany, Baron Goto said:
 ''I do not say that there are not such men among us. bu temporary political p9rtisanship should not be mistaken for solid convictions. The British peo- pie may rest assured that so long as the Japanese empire exists the Jap anese are their good friends"
 Coming to the question of accusa- tions of his alleged pro-Germanism, Baron Goto spoke as follows.
 q stayed in Germany for many years and studied there. and people may think me pro-German. I am not pro-German at all. I am not anti English. I am Japanese sharing the national views regarding OUT interna- tional relationship"
 - Emphasizing this point, Baron Goto insisted that it was impossible that he could be pro-German because Ger many is an enemy But he declined to discuss what he described as the meaningless question whether he be- lieved in the permanency of the Anglo Japanese alliance.
 In reply to a question concerning lalleSations that Japan was in the fight only for materialistic ends. the foreign minister said:
 Japan had no particular reason to go to war with Germany. She came in, in obedience to obligations of the Anglo-Japanese .alliance-to keep the faith. The facts are there to justify us."
 Baron Goto expressed the fear that the war might be protracted. but he was confident of an allied victory.
 He said the allies never had asked Japan to send troops to the western front.
