 Dear Father: It has been quite a while since I last wrote to you. I was wounded in the leg at Chateau Thierry July 19, on the Paris and Soissons road. The Square Heads" 1Inally managed to hit me in the leg and I've been having a tough time of it. But don't worry about my wound, for it is entirely safe and we get the best of treatment and am on the road to recovery.
 I hope to be back at them in few days and some brown-hide is going to pay for every drop of blood l have lost-I mean for every bullet in my gun to count from now on, and l hope to be out again soon.

|s SHOT WHILE
 RA|D|NC TIGER

A sure-enough blind tiger was raid- ed in Newport about 12 o'clock Thurs day night, as result of which Night Marshal Ben Sandmon is nursing slight flesh wound in his left side near the pistol belt, being shot with pistol by negro man known as 'Blind" Campbell, who is alleged to have been selling whiskey at his home on lower Front street, at which place Sandmon conducted the raid. The night marshaf took a shot at Camp bell, one bullet taking effect in hls arm. Campbell later went to the home of Chief of Police Martin and gave himself up, saying the reason he shot Sandmon was that he did not know he was an officer, but thought him to be someone posing as an offl- cer with the intention of holding hlm up. and that when he discovered who Sandmon was he did not surrender to him for the reason that he feared he would get shot again.
 Officer Sandmon says he had sus- picioned for some time that Camp bell operated blind tiger at the old "Blue Goose" stand on Front street, and last night when he saw man named O'Neal going toward the place he ,decided to follow. A short time later he witnessed Campbell selling whiskey, entered the place and told Campbell to consider himself under arrest. Campbell fired one shot, Sandmon using up all the ammunition he had, and staying with his post af- terward until help came. A chest containing some whiskey was taken from the home of Campbell.
 Campbell's trial will come up short lv in local court, at which ONeai and man named Herford, who ac- companied Sandmon to the house, will appear as witnesses.

Associated Press War Summary.)
 The British and German armies are locked in a mighty battle today over twenty-five mile front from Lihons, six miles south of the Somme river, to the Cojeul river, southwest of Arras. This attack, which began with the British attack east of the Ancre river Wednesday, has spread into one of the greatest battles of the allied offensive In Picardy the British are reported to be mak- ing progress at some points. The British apparently are still on the aggressive along the whole line.
 The French have occupied the sout hern banks of the Disc and the Ailette region at Sempigny, south of Noyon, and also have reached the outskirts of the town of Guny and Pont St. Mar, within three miles of German positions north of Chemin des Danes as they stood before the offensive in May, and unless the enc my can stop the allied onrush virtu- ally all his territorial gains of the present year are in fair way to be wiped out. Noyon, the pivot of the German lines in Picardy, is still hold ing out, but is now under fire of the French artillery.
 --~ The Amreicans north of the Vesle have increased the security of their positions by cleaning out an impor- fant point north of Fishes. German counter attacks were repulsed.
 The British are making further progress in the Lys salient in Flan- ders, both east of Merville and north of Bailleu.

LABOR SHORTAGE
 BECOMES SERIOUS.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The fact there now is shortage in war work Fof I,OO0,OOO unskilled laborers and that the reserve of skilled workers is exhausted, developed today at a con ference of field agents of the federal employment service. Further cur tailment of non-essential production is planned to release men for war work.
 The labor shortage is so serious that completion of 9 number of in1- portant war projects for the army and navy is being delayed, it was said. The field agents decided that the only way in which the laborers can be secured is to take them from non-essential industry.
 "The time has come for the enelre nation to realize that business as us- -.aal is no nlnger possible,o z Nathan A. Smith, assistant director of the employment service, told the confer ence. ~If we are to end the war quickly, the production of luxurles and non-essentials in this country must come to an end.
 Manufacturers must give up the creation of useless goods, workers must be willing to change from non essential to war production, even at hardship to themselves; the pub lie must stop buying luxuries and thereby make the problem of curtall- ment of non-essentials easier
 Indications of how the non-essen- tials may be combed out was gwen today when the Community Labor Board of the District of Columbia announced list of 24 classes of wos- regarded as non-essential. Employ CTS in this class are called upon to voluntarily release their unsklned labor for war work, community boards are being organized throughout the country by the department of labor and they are to work in close cooper at;on with local draft boards.
 Following are the industries which the district board, the first D make an announcement, has listed as non essential:
 "Automobile industry accessories drivers of pleasure cars, cleaning, re pairing and delivery of same,s slgnt- seeing cars, auto trucks other than those hauling fuel doing govern work. teaming other than delivery or products for war work, bath and bar Der shop attendants, bowling, bililaru and bedrooms, bottlers and bottle supplies, candy manufacturers ci- gars and tobacco, cleaners and dyers' clothing, confectioners and delecates-

MORAN HAS HOPE

BY JACK vEIOCK.

New York April 19.-In spite of
tho fact that the PhilIies have been

rival managers are bound to respect
them.
- The answer is Pat Moran. who built
himself a niche in the Hall of Fame
when he took team of castoffs and
misfits in Philadelphia and piloted it
to a championship in 1915.
Moran is made out of the kind of
stuff that counts, and he S not the
sort who lets big disappointments
sweep aside his determination to win
pennants.
When President Baker sold Grover
Alexander and Bill Killifer to the
Cubs last winter, Philadelphia fans
said goodbye to Philly pennant hopes
Not so with Moran.
He's Not Discouraged.

d. what they want to do with play
c-s." said Patrick. land tho the loss
of our star battery is not going to help

d battle for the pennant."
This is the spirit which has enabled
Moran to win success as a manager,
I'd it will keep him up there among
the ranking managers of the big show.
Moran is a capable. all-around base
ball man. He isn't laxative and he
is not the kind who makes himself
conspicuous on the coaching lines. But
he applies his baseball knowledge in
a way that makes itself felt, and he
ranks a : one OF the most capable man
ayers who have graduated from player
ranks to a pilotship.
