Helena, June children, born or

dependency claims for drafted men
who have married since May Is, 1917,
according to telegram received by
Adjt. Gen. Phil Greenan from Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder. The
new amended regulation will have the
effect of taking many men from Glass

dren. born or unborn, will be recog-
nized as dependents emitting the draft
ed fathers to a deferred classification
upon dependency grounds. Satisfactory
proof is required before the deferred
will be granted. The rul-
ing applies to registrantS in the orig
inal enrolment and to those who have
become of age since July 5, 1917.
No dependency claim at all, how

Demands of Civil Population and Ar.
mics of Our Allies Is Beyond
Our Present Surplus, Says
Announcement.

! Washington, June 13.-To meet the
needs of the American and allied ar
mics and the civilian populations of
France, Great Britain and Italy, the
American people were asked by the
food administration yesterday to place
themselves on limited beef allowance
from now until next September 10.
Householders were requested to not
"under any circumstances" buy more
than one and one-quarter pounds of
clear beef weekly, or one and one
half pounds, including the bone, for
each person in the household.
Hotels and restaurants were asked
not to serve boiled beef more than
two meals weekly beefsteak more than
one meal weekly and roast beef more
than one meal weekly.
The demand for beef for our army,
the armies of the allies and their CT
william populations for this summer,
said the food administration an
nouncement, "are beyond our present
surplus On the other hand, we have
enough increased supply of pork this
sion in its use. 1t, therefore, will be
a direct service to our armies and the
allies if our people will in some degree
substitute fresh pork, bacon, ham and
for beef products.
1.-The public will realize that the
changing conditions of production
from season to season, the changing
situation in shipping, and, therefore,
Of the markets available to the allies,
and the increasing demand for our
growing army, with the fluctuating
supply of local beef in France, all
make it impossible to determine pol
cies for a long period in advance. !
We have recently asked for economy in
al meat consumption we wish now to |
emphasize further reduction of beef |
by the substitution of pork. 1t is an
-icipated that this program will hold |
good until September 10 and the coop |

The whole proceeding was carried

REGIONAL HEADS NAMED
FOR WESTERN RAILROADS

Washington, June IS. - Territory
west of the Mississippi river was di-
vided yesterday into three railroad OPP
Grating regions with X. III. Ashton,
director of the northern portion, head
quarters at Chicago; Hale Holden;
president of the Burlington, director
Of the central division, headquarters at
Chicago, and B. F. Bush, receiver for
the Missouri Pacific, director of the
southwestern division, headquarters at
ST. Louis.
Later a district manager will be
named for the Pacific coast. This re-
organization for the west brings the
number of operating regions to seven,
with a director at the head of each,
responsible for active management of
all roads in his territory, and answer
able to Director General McAdoo only
in the broadcast matters of policy. 1t
is considered probable no more regions
will be created.
Mr. Ashton, who heretofore has had
supervision of the entire west, now will
have only the lines running west and
north from Chicago andNSt. Paul to
the north Pacific coast. and minor
lines in that district. Mr.. Holden will
have charge of most other transconti-
mental trunk lines and the Illinois dis
trict. Mr.. Bush is TO direct the nu-
merous lines running southwest from
the ST. Louis district into Texas and
the Missouri valley. These regional di-
rectors shortly will announce federal
and general managers for
their territories.

LULL PRESAGES VIOLENT
STORM ON BATTLEFRONT
Washington Military Men Believe Next
Effort of Germans VIII Be
Toward Channel Ports

Washington. June 1.-THE present
lull on the battle front in France only
presages new and more violent storm
| Of attack on the allied lines, in mill
tary opinion here. The impression is
rapidly strengthening that the stage is
/ almost set for renewal of the German
main thrust at the British army around
Amiens with the channel ports as the
objective.
! The thrusts at Paris have been look
ed upon as well planned and executed
feints designed to weaken the Amiens
| front before the final effort should be
made there.
1t is battle in which the ultimate
reserves will win the day, as the fight
is seen here.
Some observers believe further eff
forts are to be expected to flatten ont
the Compeigne salient completely be-
fore the main attack is resumed. If
so, they argue that the next flare of
activity will come along the front of
the Compeigne salient where the fight
ing has Just paused momentarily. ST.
multaneous assault from the north
near Antheuil, from the southeast be-
tween Chateau Thierry and Villers
Cotterets forest and from the east
ward, between scissors and the for
est, probably will be launched, it is
thought if Compeigne is regarded as
vitality necessary to future German
moves. In that case, the American
force above Chateau Thierry stands
directly in the path of attack.
Other observers are almost convinc-
ed the situation not only permits, but |
demands the enemy's main attack be |
pressed without delay, as American aid
is coming forward more swiftly than
the Germans possibly could have esti-
mated would be the case.
At a recent date, American forces |
held in all more than 30 miles of the |
whole western front. One element of |
General Pershings mobile forces, by |
direction of General Foch, guards the /
way at the apex of the whole German
wedge near Montdidier. Cantigny, re-
Gently recaptured from the Germans

Secretary Bakers reaffirmation Fri
day of American confidence in Gen
eral Foch was made With full knowl-
edge, for Mr.. Baker was in Europe in
conference with the allied chieftains,
when the plan of campaign now being
was worked out. He knows
why no effort has been made to wrest
the initiative from the enemy Many
officers who do not know are frankly
puzzled and cannot understand why
some of the obvious openings for
great counter thrust have not been
seized.

PIRATES STEAL COPPER
BEFORE SINKING VESSEL
German Submarine Raiders Add Two
More Norwegian Steamers to
List of Victims.

New York, June 1.-Two Norwegian
steamships, the Vindeggen and Hen
rik Lund, were sunk by GerMan sub
marine when about 200 miles east of
Cape Charles, Va, on last Saturday
and Monday respectively. This brings
the total of vessels sunk by U-boats
since they began their campaign in
these waters to is.
Their crews, totalling 6S men, were
brought here yesterday by Danish
steamer which picked them up at sea
after they had been set adrift in their
small boats.
Eighty tons of copper ingots, part of
the cargo of the Vindeggen, was taken
aboard the U-boat before the steam
ship was sunk by means of bombs.
The vessel was stopped by the sub
marine on June and the crew was
obliged to unload the copper into the
ships small boats and transfer it to
the U-boat. Then the small boats were
taken in tow until the Henrik Lund
was sighted on June 10.
The Vindeggen was bound here from
South American port, her copper
consigned to the American Smelling
& Refining company.
The destruction of these two ships
makes four flying the Norwegian flag
which have been victims of German
submarines in American waters. The
two others were the Vinland, sunk
June 5, and the Eidsvold, sunk June
4, both off the Virginia capes.

TO PREVENT SPECULATION

Washington, June 13-Congress was

to tighten the grasp of the government
upon the country's shipbuilding indus
try by legislation forbidding the build
ing of new plants or the extension of
old except under license.
Chairman Hurley wrote Chairman
Alexander of the house merchant
marine committee that the legislation
is necessary to prevent interference
with the boards building program
Since the world need for ships be-
came acute, many yards have been
started by private persons, some of
whom sought government contracts
and credit as soon as a beginning was
made.
The board desires to prevent specu-
iation i'm shipbuilding and to stabilize
the supply of labor and the market
for materials. 1t also is desired to
obtain greater control over the accep-
for foreign account. :,
ShipbuiIding facilities in the United
States are being increased rapidly.
MIR. Hurley drew distinction between
possible ultimate capacity and expect
ed output.
Il do not regard it as humanity pos
sible to turn out an estimated 1885,
200 of ship tonnage in 1919. The facil-
ties for such tonnage are not yet avail
