INFORMATION READY OF
 SOLDIERS IN HOSPITALS

Washington, Aug. 16.-Exact infor- nation concerning wounded and sick American soldiers admitted to hospi- taIs overseas will be made immediately available to relatives or friends of the men under a plan being worked out at the war department.
 Secretary Baker said today he had visited the office of Surgeon General Gorgas to look into the daily reports from the hospitals with view to hay ing them carded, catalogued and tabu- lated so that the most instant infor- nation could be given to all inquirers.
 The hospital records, MT. Baker said, will be brought here weekly by courier from France. and thus it will be pos sible to give the exact nature of the wound or the disease from which the men are suffering. The information will be available through the adjutant general.
 The task of installing the system will be a big one, but the war secre- tary believes the information should be available for in thousands of cases it will relieve unnecessary distress and doubt which follows appearance of the name of the men on casualty lists as wounded, degree undetermined. or se- verely.

Man Power in Mines

Indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 16.-Labor conditions in the coal mining industry for which the only logical solution is. substantial fiat wage increase to be applied to all classifications of mine labor will be discussed at a confer ence of district presidents of the United Mine Workers to be held in Washington Aug. g, according to an announcement made here tonight by Frank J. Hays, president of the United Mine Workers of America.
 In announcing the conference, Presi- dent Hays said. it had been called ito avert, if possible. a rapidly developing labor condition within the coal indus try, which. if permitted to go un- checked, would. undermine coal pro- duction plans
 The wage increase can be met and applied by the coal operators without the necessity of an increase in the selling price of coal to the consuming public" asserted the miners official who added that the paying of bonuses by many mine owners now lis indis- putable evidence that the industry is

With the British Army in France, Aug. Is. S:15 D. m-(By A. P0.-By brilliant manouvre the French have finally captured "Z" Wood and Dam cry Wood. In these two wooded tracts the Germans have been holding out desperately for several days. realiz- ing the value of these positions.
 The little patches of forest which are now in the. hands of the allies virtually are on the extreme right of the British line and from their east ern borders it is possible to observe -clofEly qlxte a wide stretch of ground. The allied position for several miles on each side of the two woods has been materially improved by their capture. ..
 These virtually were the last of the really more important positions on the new front to which the enemy has been holding and which the allied forces desired. The enemy launched heavy attack late yesterday against the new positions at Damery. After sharp fighting he was repulsed, leav- | ing 150 prisoners.
 Other purely local actions had been 1 fought here and there along the new I front for the purpose of improving positions. During these combats in
 the past twenty four hours the Brit | ish have captured 260 prisoners and 1 four machine guns. The casualties in
 killed and wounded inflicted upon the
 enemy in these local affairs are esti- mated to be at least 1.300.

 The labor condition in brief has been caused, President Hayes says by many mine owners paying bonuses in excess of the wage scale in order to cAtaip and keep miners in lheir mines AEr. Hayes statement continues:
 The practice has become 50 wide spread that the stability of the entire industry is threatened and the coal operators themselves are becoming l alarmed at their own handiwork The fuel administration is conduct ing investigations to find out the req sons for the conditions and the iden- | tity of the operators who are bidding l for labor by the payment of bonuses. l Various members of tho operators associations have petitioned the fuel administration to save them from the i disastrous results of the bonus sys- tenn
 i If bonuses are eliminated from the pay envelopes of the miners now re- i ceiving them the industry will lose production to say nothing of the na- tion's demand for a greatly increased output.
 If wages are not increased to those not now receiving bonuses to the 1 equivalent of the bonuses now being received by other miners, then the in- duStry faces a sure and certain loss of needed man power.
 For the protection of our entire war programme, to keep the wheels ol basic industry going full blast. it is necessary that a wage adjustment be made on a basis that will put an enc
 to the wholesale competition for mer and hold the miner to the mines where
 he would. like to remain. if but giver

Artillery activity continues along the entire front, especially in the new Somne battle area but the enemy does not seem to desire to launch any extended infantry attacks, even at Rove and Chaulnes where he is strongest.

SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT OF
 AMERICAN BUILT AIRPLANES,

Washington, Aug 16.-General Per shing today advised the war depart ment that early in August complete squadron of eighteen De Haviland Four airplanes, built in the United States and equipped with Liberty motors, reconnaissance flight of American built machines behind the German lines. They returned without loss.
 In making this announcement. Sec retary Baker said that Brigadier Gen eral Eoulois of the American air ser vice led the expedition. This was the first report from General Pershing on the performance of American built De Havilands to be made public.
 Secretary Baker said his adviees contained no other information re- garding the flight except that Lieu tenant Blair Thaw was also on the trip. The time and place of the flight MT. Baker considGTsd it advisable to withhold
 The announcement was considered | by officials as setting at rest rumors that the De Haviland machines were not a success and also as showing | that the Liberty motors have now proven themselves in actual war con- 1 ditions. Whether the squadron was l attacked was not stated. It would have been well able to take care of it. 1 self, however, as the machines, each l carrying pilot and observer, are equipped with four machine guns as recommended by General Pershing many months ago. The flight un- doubtedly was scouting trip and probably many photographs of the enenly's works were brought back.

 | No recent figures on the production i of the De Haviland fours are availa : i bie and Secretary Baker would not sanction discussion of this phase of the matter. It is recalled, however
 that the production of the one -thous- andth machine at the plant of the | Dayton Wright company was recent ly celebrated and since then another great plant has come into quantity production.
 It is assumed that the squadron mentioned today is regularly operat- ing now at the front, which means l that large number of reserve and re- placement De Havilands are ready be- i hind it. Probably General HPershing now has at his disposal the majority of the craft of this type so far pro duced.
 There was much discussion of the De Haviland fours recently, due tc critical reports from the aviation ser fvice abroad on the machines first re- iceived. Investigation here showed however, that the specific compiaints

Armenans Protest
 the Turkish Treaty

Boston, Aug. 16.-The National Ar menian Council of Tif1is was compell- ed to sign a peace with Turkey in order to save a large section of the Armen- ian population from extermination but the struggle against the Turks is con tinuing, according to a cable message given out in this city today at the headquarters of the Armenian Nation al Union of America from it's accred- ited representatives abroad. The mes sage said. the Armenian army was holding the Baku Elisavetpol line. As London advices state the British now are at Bakue, this would link up the English forces with the Armenians.
 This message was as follows:
 Have received telegram from northern Persia to the effect that the national Armenian council of Tifiis felt, compelled to sign peace with Turkey whereby the district of Erivan, Etchmialzin, as far as the River Kar- sagh on the east. have been pro- claimed as an independent Armenian republic, and this in order to save a large section of the Armenian popula-

 Taken altogether, the position of the allied troops on the Somme- Disc salT= ent is materially better than it has been for several days past.
 The retirement of the Germans on parts of the northern front continues, but these manoeuvres as yet lack defi- nite explanation. Following closely upon the evacuation of front line posi- tions north of Albert, which were taken over by the British, has come another voluntary relinquishment of trenches in the Lys sector. The village of Vieux Berquin has been given up and

GERMAN SUBMARINES
 LOOT THEIR SuPPI LES

Washington, Aug. 6.-At the navy department tonight it was said there is nothing to be given out" regarding the attack on large oil tank steam CT by German submarines off CaIR Hatteras reported in a despatch from Beaufort, N. c.
 It was generally believed that the German Uboat, probably the same one which recently destroyed the Diamond Shoals lightship off Cape Hatteras, had run short of oil and had attacked the oil tanker with the pur- pose of replenishins it's supply Af- ter taking aboard the needed oil. it was thought probable that the sub marine had shelled and set fire to the tanker.
 Through such attacks on oil tankers and cargo vessels. officials here have said, German submarine commander may replenish his supply of oil anI food and thus remain indefinitely on this side of the Atlantic.

CBy The Associated Press.)

Evidently it is not in the plans of the entente allies to. leave the Ger mans secure in their possession of the line they now are holding in the re- zion between the Somme and the Disc. Although the front from the south of the Somme past Chaulne sand running through Rove to Noyon has been studded with fresh endorsements and innumerable guns in order to keep back the allied troops, the Germans nevertheless again have been forced to give ground, and at points where seemingly their defense soon must crumple and the retreat eastward be resumed.
 French and Canadian troops Friday night between Goyencourt and Lau- court, on a front of about three miles, had fought their way west of Rove until they virtually were knocking at .he door of the town. which is one of the keystone positions of the German defense in Picardy while to the inn mediate north British troops fighting alone were still in possession of Da- nerv and Parvillers following heavy counter attacks made by the Germans 10 dislodge them. West of Rove the allied line is now only a scant mile and a quarter distant.
 Adding materially to the danger of Rove by direct assault on the part of the French and Canadians at it's western gates and from d f1anking
 nsnoeuvre by the British on the northwest, the French have carried out successfully an advance five miles to the south which seemingly lays the town open to a turning movement from the Loges wood. which has been pene- trated deeply.
