WILL EXPEDITE CONSTRUCTION
 OF AS SHIPS
Daniels Reviews Naval Meas ure to Which President Attached His Signature To- day in Washington
Bv Review Leased WireI

WASHINGTON, July Steps to expedite construction of the remaining AS vessels, including battle cruisers and super-dreadnaughts, of the 1856 authorized in the three-year naval building program, approved by con- gress two years ago, already have been taken by the navy department.
 This was disclosed tonight by Sec rtary Daniels in a statement reviewing the provisions of the $12,600.000, 900 navy appropriation bill recently passed by congress and to which President Wilson today attached his signature.
 'The bilL,' said the secretary, makes it obligatory to begin construc- tion of all of the forty-eight vessels of the 156 vessels comprising the three year program, authorized in the act of August 26, 1916, the construction of which has not previously specifically been directed to be begun. I am keen ly interested in the early execution of this program and have regretted that lack of facilities due to the big demand for destroyers, transports and cargo ships rendered it necessary to some what abate the fine progress that was being made. However, I request that the act be worded in this mandatory way for it is my earnest desire and expectation to carry it out and I have already taken steps to expedite con- struction as much as possible.
 Money is not only provided for con- pleting the big three year program, but an addition of one hundred mil lion dollars is made available for ad- dition al torpedo boat destroyers, sub marine chasers, and other naval craft as the exigencies of the war may make necessary
 "The outstanding features of the bill is the permanent increase in the en- listed strength from S7,00O to 1S1 .4S5 men. Many new ships have been per manently added to the fleet and many more will be commissioned in 1913 and this increase in personnel to pro vide the officers and crews for these permanent additions"

WORK OR FIGHT REGULATION IN
 EFFECT MONDAY
Men In Non-Essential Pursuits Must Get Work in Essential Ones Or Go Into Army at Once
By Review Leased Wlre)

WASHINGTON, July With 4500 local boards acting as judges, the gov ernment's work or fight regulations went into effect today.
 Since the annOGHCsment of the regu- latiOns, reports show many registrants have complied. The result has been a material increase in the supply of labor. No computation has been made as to the number of men affected. but estimates run from S00,000 to l 1000, ,OO0. Local boards will notify men within their jurisdiction that their employ ment is considered non-essential or harmful and will assist in placing men in approved industries.
 Anxiety of friends and relatives of registrants is counted upon to aid in the round up of those who attempt to evade, since the transfer of men from the deferred classes to class one will operate to postpone the summoning of those deferred.
 Definite decisions upon many ques- tions which have grown out of the work or fight ultimatum are expected soon, but General Crowder has an nounced his ointention to wait until a special case in point has been brought up by a local board. Chief interest at present is shown in the case of baseball players, unofficial reports having it that the game will be classed as a sport At the same time it was said that the schedule of professional baseball leagues this season will be disturbed as little as possible.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-ResEmp- tiOn of the German, offensive on the western front is expected momentarily by army officials here. General Persh- ings reports as well as French and British advices showing irlrreasing ae- tivity day by day indicating that the Germans are preparing for another as- sault

 Secretary Baker disclosed today that organization of the first army corps. under Maj. Gen. Hunter Liggett prob ably had been completed although he made no announcement
 q suspect" the secretary said. in reply to a question. that several or our divisions are operating together as an army corps under command of Gen eral Liggett. Whether another army corps has been created and a tentative commander chosen, have not heard
 It was learned also that the first. second and third divisions (regulsrl commanded respectively by Major Generals Robert L. Bullard. Omar Bundy and Joseph T. Diekman. are in- cluded in the first corps and all are either at Chateau Thierry or at Can tigny. The corps organization plan. however. calls for six divisions. four combatant and two replacement. and with the necessary artillery units and other additional troops. the total strength of a corps would be nearly 22O, 900 men. Undoubtedly General Liggett has all the elements necessary for his corps if his organization is com plete.
 With this army corps in the theater where great events are believed 10 be impending the expected German thrust assumes new significance here Un- less they mistake the signs. the Ger mans are getting ready for the crucial moment in their great effort to wrench victory by force before full American fighting power can be brought to bear against them.
 The belief of General March. chief of staff. that the allied situation is extremely favorable" as expressed in carefully weighed statement last Saturday. is believed to be shared by the allied leaders. The speed with which American troops have been rushed to France probably has added to the confidence that the new thrust will fail as have the last two.

WASHINGTON. July 1.-The senate today by an overwhelming majority re- fused to yield to house opposition to an increase in the governments mini mum guarantee of wheat to $2.5O per bushel. A motion by majority leader Martin proposing to instruct the sen ate committee to abandon the senate price increase amendment to the an nual agricultural bill was defeated forty-six to nineteen.
 The senate's action caused continr- ance of the deadlock over the $2S,OOO.- 900 appropriation measure and pre- vented its passage today, the begin ming of the governments fiscal year.

WEATHER.

ARIZONA: Tuesday partly cloudy with thunder showers.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1918-06-07
NEW YORK, May %, 1918.

The planting Of the new crop is the
principal point of interest in the do
mestic leaf market just now. According
to all accounts, the tobacco growing
sections have recently been visited by
warm rains, there is an abundance of
young plants, and the crop is going in
to the ground under the most favorable
circums tances. If the weather condi-
tions remain favorable, the only thing
to be greatly feared is that there will
not be sufficient labor to give it the
necessary cultivation. Everybody is
praying for the biggest yields the coun-
try ever saw. At present it seems
likely that an acreage will be planted
to tobacco this year big enough to pro-
duce the desired quantity. The yield
will depend, of course, on suitable
weather conditions, proper cultivation,
absence of insect pests and freedom
from hail and windstorms If the crop
gets all these blessings by the
way rarely ever happen all the same
year-it could easily be the biggest
ever raised in this country, so far as
information now available discloses.
In the past week packers began buy
ing up the 1918 Porto Rico crop, at
prices slightly under last years on the
average.-Leaf.
