SALIENT is GONE
FISHES IN FLAMES
Fleeing Germans Have Escaped the
Doom They Feared-Enemy
Short of Men.

Headquarters on the Aisne-Marne
Front.-The salient is gone. The
allied troops, French, British and
Americans, already are holding the
south bank of the Vesle river. Fis-
mes is in flames.
The wagons of the retreating
German columns can be seen toll
ing laboriously over the muddy up
land roads leading from the river
toward the Aisne. Our cavalry pa
trolls have found nothing to report
but rearguard screens.
To have thus driven the enemy
back as he was driven back four
year sac is no mean achievement,
but we must not overestimate the
possibilities it may disclose. That
the enemy has been forced to retire
bitterly against his will is obvious.
General Ludendorff states that the
retirement was decided on Is days
ago after General Petain's blow
against the west side of the salient,
and the Germans can pride them
selves on having remained, to use
Ludendorff's phrase, masters Of
the situation" That is to say, they
have been able to avert the doom
they feared, which wasithe collapse
of the sides of the salient and the
consequent capture by the allies Of
all the troops within it; and they
have been able to withdraw in an
orderly manner without serious loss
in men or guns, but at a consider
able sacrifice of ammunition.

Fix Threshinq Prices.

Thirty-five thresher owners attend
ed the convention called by the county
council of defense at Moscow Satur-
day to decide on prices for threshing
and discuss the labor problem for the
harvest season.
After much discussion it was agreed
that TX cents a bushel would be the
charge for threshing wheat from the
shock and putting it in sacks. Where
no sacks are used, but the grain is
dumped into bins or wagons, the price
will be one cent less This means that
the thresherman is to furnish all of
the help and teams needed to haul the
grain from the field to the thresher
and to board the men. The farmer is
always supposed to feed the teams
used in harvest work.
Prices for threshing oats and bar
ley will be less than the prices charged
for wheat, but just what the difference
will be was not decided There will
also be a less charge if grain is stack
ed, but as there is little stacking done
here this will be a minor matter.
Threshermen were assured by the
council of defense and the farm bu-
reau's labor agencies that there is lit
tie danger of labor shortage during
harvest. So far enough help has been
found to fill all orders, and it is be
lieved that with the light crop and by
farmers exchanging work, there will
be no scarcity of labor.
Harvest is just beginning and prob
ably not to exceed 20 per cent of the
fall wheat has been cut. Few thresh
ers will start for the seasons run be
fore Aug. 8. A number of threshei
owners will not take their machines
into the field this season.

shortage in Washington. in the belief
of both school. officials and officials

strictly war measure. He believes 1t
is more vitally necessary in Washing
ton at this time than in any other
city in the United States.
The time lost every day by the lack
of men to take out the street cars
from the barns means an immense
amount of labor and money to the
government, in the opinion of of
ficiaIs. 1t is believed that the greater
part of this time would be saved If
