Right now the public press is full of articles and editorials telling how Un- cle Sam is badly in need of men, and women, too who know how to drive and properly take care of automobiles, commercial cars. motor ambulances, mo- torcycles, and other machinery.
 That is another reason why I think 1t would be a splendid idea for every auto mobile owner to pass a strict examina- tion as to ability to properly handle and take care of car. The United States would then have an inexhaustible army of experienced and trained motor drivers, not only more than sufficient to meet all needs of the government over there but in the great industrial army over here
 MOTOR FLEXIBILITY
 "Another important matter every own CT should pay attention to is that of de- motor flexibility. Much has been said relative to the throttling down of an automobile engine To the casual ob- server, the ability of a motor to run at two miles an hour in high gear, without knocking or 'jerking.' may seem of little importance, but in reality
 it means reducing to minimum tn

sossons has fallen and the German salient south of the Asne seems to be doomed.
 Allied hammer blows have lad their effect and the Ger mans retiring precpitatey toward the north French American and British troops moving forward rapidly and continue their pressure strongly at all points.
 On front of 8 miles from northwest of Sosson to Rheims the Allied advance already average than three miles the entire distance American troops in the center gained than five miles Cavalry again used for the first time since the opening day of Gen. Focs offensive July 18 which already has crushed German hopes of successful offensive and is turning into disastrous defeat for the enemy
 While the German crown prince made strong efforts to maintain front between Tardenos and Vile Tar deno his position made untenabe by the Allies es of earlier in the week in which the Americans played small part His center smashed at vital point and the southern end of the western flank turned by French and British capture of the Chalmon spur northeast of Fere
 Retreat inevitable with Allied pressure giving sign of letting So the Allies moving norhward along the whole front capturing guns and material probably prisoners cut off in the valleys and woods which fill the terrain between the Aisne and the Marne.
 Latest unofficial reports placed the advancing French, American and British soldiers line from Pommiers to Sos Beeu the valley of the Crise Chacrise Arcy St. Res itue Loupeigne, Mareuil Dole Dravegny Moine wood hery Tramery Treson Gueux Thlos and north of Rheims This is somewhat north of the line reported the official statement Friday night but most probably indicates gains made later This line has just slight compar ed with the original pocket and virtually wipes out the Hanks east and west
 Fismes, German base on the Vesle is six miles north of Mone wood through which French cavalry ported to have penetrated Large fires have been points within the lines especially esmes Heavy explosions also have heard indicating preparing to fall back still farther north.
 Southeast of Sossons the French and British have been advancing against less opposition The French and Americans in the center reported to have met with slight German resistance after the stubborn fighting of previous days the region of Fere Southwest of Rheims the advance has been slower than in thee enter.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

Tn the thirty-ninth week of the con- test at Storrs the Leghorns made clean sweep for the week with but one exception, namely the Oregons. Pen 73, A. P. Robinson, Calverton, N. Y, won first place with a total of 51 eggs. Pen ST, Oak Hill Estate, Uniontown, Pa., was second with 50 eggs. Pens 5S, Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis, Ore, 59 E&moor Farms Lebanon, Pa., and 65 Green dale Farms, Greendale, N. Y, were all tied for third place with a weekly production of 49 eggs each. Five pens of Leghorns were tied for fourth place with a production of 4S eggs for the week. The following pens were the winners of fourth place: 64. G. P. Platt. Wallingford, Pa., 66 Dautrick Bros, Winsted, Ct, IS, E. A. Ballard, Chestnut Hill, Pa. and 90, W. E. Kieft, Springfield, III. The total production for the week was 3335 eggs, or AIS per cent. One change has taken place among the three best pens of the. Rhode Island Reds. Pen 4G Pequot Poultry Farms, Southport, Conn, has taken the place of pen S6, Chas. H. Lane. Southboro, Mass. No other change has taken place among the three best pens in each of the principal va r!eties-
 For the last few weeks the hens seem to continue 10 fall off in their producing ability which only goes to show that some hens are not doing much toward filling the egg basket Most of the hens that are not laying are just slackers. Consequently from now on 1t is very desirable that these poor producers be eliminated from the flock in order to produce the greatest quantity of eggs at the least possible cost. The culling demon strations have proven that it pays. At a recent culling bee S26 hens were court-n1artialed as being slackers from a flock of 1403. The results of this demonstration showed that the egg production for the. week pra- vious to the demonstration was 2100 eggs, or an average of 300 per day. The egg production for the week fol- lowing the demonstration was 1895. CT an average of S42 per day.

28 PLAYERS SOON TO LINEN SOLDIERS
Form First Group to Be Sent By League to
 Entertain.

Twenty eight actors and actresses Of note soon will be entertaining Amer ican soldiers and sailors in Y. M. c. A. and K. of c. .huts and Red Cross hos pitals overseas, says the New York World. The party is the first to be sent across by the "Over There" Lea que formed nj May, of which George M. Conan is President, and E. r. AL bee. head of the United Booking Off, fices, is Vice President.
 The party, which travels without stage properties or costumes, owing to space restrictions, is divided into five units, each to tour practically the en- tire expeditionary force. The at- fractions are each one and quarter hours long, which coincides with the period between chow and taps. In the first group are Will M. Cres- sy, Blanche Dayne, Corinne Francis, Tony Hunting, Harry Adler, David Lerner. Paula Sherman. Alfred Ar ! nland, Hal Pierson, D. c. MacIver, Howard T. Collins, Helene Davis, Geo. A. Moore, Leo Donnelly, Helen Golf, Irene Franklin. Burton Green, Kelly and Pollock, William J. Kennedy Margaret Mayo, Elizabeth Brice, VIII Morrissey, Inez Wilson, Henry Sou vaine, Madeleine Glyn, Amy Norton and Kate Condon.
 Rehearsals of the acts have been 1 supervised by Winthrop Ames and Jas. Forbes at the Little Theatre and have received 'tryouts" at nearby camps. About 500 stage players have vol unteered for the work, not infrequent- ly giving up large salaries to draw the regulation pay of $2 day given by the league, travelling expenses being paid by the Y. M. c. A. The enlist ment is for minimum of three months, but members of the present party have agreed to stay 'as long as the boys wish"
 1 The league also supplies coaches tc train soldiers to stage their own shows For this purpose costumes and wigs are needed, particularly those suitable for minstrel and comedy work. Man agers and costumers in New York i have been generous in giving such material, and twenty crates have beer shipped, but more is in demand. Suct articles may be sent to the Little Thae- l Ire.

 The advance in the center has averaged three miles on a front of 30 miles, the chief of staff said, while on the eastern flank. west of Rheims, ar advance of four miles on a four mile front already had been made.
 The complete success of the Allies is indicated by a confidential message reaching the chief of staff from an officer who at the time of writing denois. This officer reported that it dencis. This officer reported that t was seemingly impossible" for any army to gather the number of guns and shells that were abandoned by the Germans in their retirement.
 The message added that the Ger mans had been driven back without time to bury their dead and the Ger. man bodies lay so thickly that 1t was impossible to advance without walk ing over them.
 Gen. March said the War Depart ment still was without any inforrna- lAOIt dS IO tile HuInDeT or AnerlCan casualties in the fighting since thu present battle began.
 The selection of Maj. Gen. Jesse Mel. Carter, now serving as chief Of the militia bureau, as commander of the United States guard, to head one of the new divisions t0 be formed :. this country, was asaUT.nceo.

MAY CONFISCATE
 GERMAN CLOTHES

Amsterdam, Aug. 3. - Threats of coming confiscation of the contents of German wardrobes, in order to collect 100000 civilian suits for war work CTS, are the subject of satire in many of the newspapers in Berlin and else where.
 The Vorwaerts chuck1es over the possibility that von Hertling may have to appear at Court in patched pants and that von Kuehlmann may arrive at the Peace conference with holed elbows One humorist suggests that to save clothes. all persons over 55 years of age be ordered to remain in bed until eighteen months after the war. Another recommends wide spread cultivation of the fig tree.
 The threats have, however, had ef- feet In Munich, it is reported, thir- teen thousand complete suits nave been given up although only 11,5OC were demanded.
 Berlin is still hopelessly behind and many complaints of unfairness are made about the number of suits re- quired from the metropolis, eigh times more than was demanded from Munich whereas Berlin is only foul times the size of Munich.
 Complaints are manifest of hard ships on the lower and middle class es. Radical newspapers accuse the authorities of undue consideration tc the wealthy classes.
 On the other hand, one of the Elm peror's Court Chamberlains indignant ly writes to the papers that he offer ed a good suit with the lining some what damaged but it was refused ant he is now wearing it himself daily.

 The grand total embarked to the end or July mas passed the i,oVO,VVV mark The previous high monthly record was for Juno, when 276, 900 men were sent overseas.
 Discussing the fighting, Gen. March said official dispatches covering the battles to August 2 showed the pres- ent iron running virtually parallel to the eele and Ardre valleys, the next defensive line of the enemy. At the time the advancing forces were with ing six miles of this line. Later dis patches. however, have indicated tha: the vesle-Ardre line may have Seeh turned already.

Crew of Schooner Reports Attack Took Place Near
 Grand Manan. LURKING AT MOUTH
 OF BAY OF FUNDY Men Aboard Escaped In Boats and Landed at Life
 saving Station.

Eastport, Me, Aug, 3 - The crew of nine men from a lum- Der laden four-masted schooner were landed in Grand Manan, N. B., today. They reported that their vessel was sunk by a submarine last night between Briar Island and Grand Manan.
 The submarine was. lurking at the entrance of the Bay of Fundy through which shipping from St. John, N. B., arrives in the open sea. The mouth of the bay, which extends between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, is 40 miles wide, but the passage, which is deep, is comparatively narrow. Submerged lodges extend far into the bay from each coast and the channel is dangerous one for shippers to whom it is not thoroughly known.
 Grand Manan Island is eight miles east of the eastern extremity of Maine and Briar Island, N. S., is 35 miles south eastof Grand Manan, on. the eastern side of the Bay of Fundy,
 The schooner was bound from St. John, N. B., for port to the west ward. The crew escaped in one of the boats and landed at the life-saving station on Grand Manan Island. The name of the schooner and details of the sinking were withheld.
 Washington, Aug. 3-After remov- ing a uuantity of provisions from an American lumber laden schooner near the Main coast yesterday morning the crew of a German submarine set fire to the vessel, the navy department was informed today by the comnandant of the First Naval district The name of the schooner was not given.
