NEW YORK DEMOS. PAVE HARNONY'S
 WAY AT MEETING
CRy Review Leased AYirel


 SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., July Subsequent to recommending full state ticket. headed by Alfred E. Smith of New York, democrats Of the state informal convention today paved the way for party harmony after the primaries. As 2 result of the recom- mendation they faced a three-corner primary fight, unless one or both of the announced independent democratic candidates Wm Church Osborn and William Randolph Hearst-withdraws his candidacy.
 Both have signified their intention of remaining in the contest
 The movement looking to party har- mOny was led by former Judge Samuel Seabury, who was responsible for the only discordant notes of the c0nveD- tion after Mir Smith had been in dorsed He pressed to unanimous pass age his motion that if Mir. Smith was successful in the primary it would be the sense O. the convention that the New York receive the united support of the party in the election campaign.

NUNITION FOLK BEGIN STRIKE
 GREAT BRITAIN
Heads of Union Claim That All of Workers Will Join in Movement to Get Better Wages
lRy RevIew Leased Wlrol

LONDON. July 24-A strike of mu. milton workers began at Birmingham at 6 o'clock this evening, the hour the day workers finished their work and when the night shift was to come on duty, according to a dispatch to the Central News from Birmingham.
 The aggregate membership Of ;.c twelve societies affiliated with the joint committee of the engineering trades unions is about 65,00O, includ- ing about 5000 women. Officials Of the joint committee say they have no reason to doubt that all the workers will be loyal to the resolution to stop work.
 A number of discharged soldiers who are union members inquired or the official of the federation of the dis charged sailors and soldiers regarding their position. They were advised nor to cease work under any circumstan- ces owing to the serious consequences which would ensue to the men in the trenches.
 At Lincoln. where the strike was to become effective tonight unless the embargo was withdrawn. the workers agreed to remain at their posts pend ing a decision of the national confer ence tomorrow.
 The Woolwich arsenal workers held a meeting today. after which they tele- graphed the Coventry munitions work CTS as follows:
 Strike now and you will earn the blessings of the kaiser and his army Of murderers. But you will earn the lasting condemnation of all those who are fighting and working in the allied nations to gain real freedom for civi;- ization
 We warn you seriously if you per sist in striking that this government owes it to your brave brothers. who are fighting the Germans with their lives blood while you are fighting with words and full bellies, that you be immediately put in the front of the firing line and that your leaders should be shot
 Strike, and you may go to hell. Woolwich will remain at work and earn the right to shake the hand of the soldier when he returns"

HUNORDER SHOWS SUFFERING

In this way some units, which have ehanced to have the opportunity to capture booty of this kind. have lived in abundance, while others are suffer ing privations. Further it has not even been the troops in the front line to whom this more abundant supply Of food has fallen, but second line troops train echelons and especially strag- glers who are roaming about behind the army.
 It has even happened that men have taken food without authority and by force from the stores in the mill tary occupation and addition and re- gret to say, some officers have not been ashamed to interfere with the guard in the execution of their duty and to insult the officials to whose charge the provisions were entrusted. It appears to be necessary for the sup ply officials to follow the first line troops as closely as possible and to DC accompanied by escorts of cavalry or police, so that important stores and depots may at least be administered by them with as little delay as pos sible.
 IT our progress results III lhe oC- cupation of a new area, this must De placed under a regular system of ex- ploitation as soon as possible. Order must be maintained in the villages by sentries and patrols The troops must be prevented and prohibited from making acquisitions in the field and taking the crops. The people at home are so short of all provisions neces- sary to life that enough can never be done to diminish the amount which they have to supply to the army in inc field
Bisbee daily review., 1918-07-25

Rapid and complete seizure and economic use of provisions may prove of capital importance for the continua- tion of the operations.
 The pillaging in the back areas, Of which Non Boehm complains appears to have become widespread. Recent or ders issued by the commanders of the eighteenth and second armies, op- posite the British, have revealed eX- cesses which seem almost incredible, considering that the German military machine has been notorious for its iron discipline Trains have been held up and the guards killed and provisions carried away by gangs of desperate soldiers intent upon satisfying their hunger, even if they are shot for 1t.
 As a rule the troops in the front line are well fed and prisoners recently taken corroborate this but in order to supply them with adequate provisions the ratiOns Of the divisions resting or training in the back areas are cut down to a minimum and the amount doled out to each man today Is not sufficient to satisfy his normal needs.
 All the orders issued on the decad- ence of discipline have been couched in curiously mild language being in eff rect more of an appeal than threat, as though the higher command real ized the men were in a dangerous mood and disinclined to submit to se- we're punishment.
 While too high hopes must not be based on these reports of insubordina- tion, it remains fact that the disci- pline of the German army at least on the western front is in bad way, and the present defeat on the Marne does not seem likely to improve it

 of cannon and machine guns and con siderable war materials
 In the region between the Marne and Rheims, where the German crown prince has brought forward large num- bers of picked endorsements, hls warriors are meeting with hard usage. Following up the advances of the French and Italians of Tuesday the British immediately to the southwest Of Rheims apparently have begun a movement which possibly portends good results.
 Here the British have overcome a strong counter attack and, following 1t, violent bombardment and struck the German line at Vrigny for gOodly gain. This maneuver. if it is pressec to further advantage will seriously menace the Rheims-Fismes railway a scant three miles to the north ana also will tend materially to lessen the width of the mouth of the pocket through which the Germans are en- deavoring to retreat from the Sois- sons-Rheims salient.
 Gauged by the war maps, the new inToads of the allied troops into the German-held territory necessarily add further to the extreme gravity of the situation of the Germans inside the huge pocket and with the long range guns on both sides of the U heavily shelIing them far behind the actual fighting fronts with airmen bombing them assidiously and with the e-infantry attacking them on all sides with rifle and light gun fire their situation seem ingly is a hazardous one.

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY iN FRANCE, Tuesday, July 23, (By the Associated Press) The claim or the German higher command that the re- tirement on the Marne is part of set program is given the lie by an order of General Von BOehm, commander Of the seventh army.
 The seventh army has borne the full weight of the French counter offensive on the west and its divisions around Soissons suffered heavily at the hands of the Americans, while those east of Chateau Thierry were thrown back across the Marne by the pressure of the French
 For this reason the order of General Won Boehm, written a month prior to the beginning of the battle, is of un- usual significance He deplores the lack of discipline which resulted in the pillaging of stores in the back areas during the advance in May when all edible booty found ih the wake of the retiring French speedily vanished. instead of being distributed among the hungry troops in due pro portions
 The order continues:
 It is necessary to depart from the beaten track. which has been fol- lowed in the utilization of materia; and provisions and stores from the oc- cupied territory. Hopes of the utiliza- ton of captured food as rations and the distribution of a fixed portion of the provisions to the fighting troops have proved fallacious owing to the fact that the troops have taken these provisions themselves and eaten them, without treating them as a part of the authorized scale of ratiOns.

officers in accusations of wrong dO- ing in connection with the contracts for army raincoats. The statement fol lows:
 Robert J. Thorne, assistant to the acting quartermaster general a.ter preliminary investigation in regard to the raincOat inspection scandal in New York. states than any suspicion of the integrity of the army officers is aD- parently without a shred of evidence to sustain the statements. The en- tire situation has been greatly magni- fled to the extent that a grave injust- ice is being done to the reputation of the army officers.
 ~It is impossible to meet the emerg- ency of suddenly equipping the army without a few sporadic instances or dishonesty coming to the surface. but it is an outrage to have such instances maenified into an unjust accusation Of army officers; but unfortunately. the integrity of the army officers Is so well understood by the general public that very few people give any cred ence to these unsounded accusations.
 "The investigation of the rain coat lngUPEIlOn system was uAe-AN AA tAA~ investigation of the quartermaster corps, which realize that with thous- ands of new civilian inspectors oo- tained through the civil service com mission. here and there a dishonest one would be taken on. It is firmly believed by the department that the final inspection conducted at the de partment will detect all raincOats nor properly fabricated"
 Department Of justice officials in an nouncing the discovery of frauds in connection with rain coat production indicated that only a Few army Otti- cers were under suspicion of irregular conduct with contractors.
 They did not imply corruption among any large preparation of army officers, most of whom, it was rec oenized. have demonstrated their hon esty. Most inspectors involved in the corruption disclosed by the department of justice in New York are civilians.
