Augusta, Ga, July 31.-The pre-

new WAR CRISIS
DRAWS NEAR, US.
OFFICIALS THINK
Second Battle of the Marne
Enters New Phase: De-
cision Imminent
By Associated Press

Washington, July 31.-The second
battle of the Marne has entered a
new phase. Both French and German
official statements last night reflect
ed the increased fury of the fighting
for several days past, indicating to
officials here that new crisis is ap-
preaching. The decision cannot be
long delayed, although relatively
small changes in the battle line were
noted last night.
1t was not clear whether the
enemy had reached a line on which
he proposed to halt his Withdrawal.
The general trend of his present
front along the irregular line that
now forms the bottom of the Aisne-
Marne salient was regarded by most
observers, however. as not represent
ing positions of such nature as would
lend themselves to a determined ef-
fort to bring the Anglo-French-
American forces to a halt.
The intensity of the struggle and
the vigor with which picked German
troops have been hurled forward in
local counterattacks, showed con-
clusively the importance the German
high command attaches to holding
fast for the moment at least. The
reaction appeared to center on the
American spearhead, striking at the
very center of the enemy position. 1t
was quite evident that the Germans
regarded this thrust as menacing.

Ballard Urges Draft
Boards to Train Men
Who Register For War

Members of draft boards from
surrounding counties were present
1t a luncheon meeting at the Har-
risburg Club at noon to-day when

responsible for the request of Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder that
local draft boards give their regis
trants military instruction previous
to their actual service, addressed
them on the subject of military train
Ing for civilian draftees.
Mr.. Ballard, after investigating the
subject, found military training for
the men before they enter military
life would be of such benefit to them
that he persuaded Provost Marshal
General Crowder to give official saRc~
ton to the move. William Jennings,
chairman of the Pennsylvania Coun-
Gil of National Defense and Com
mittee of Public Safety for Dauphin
county, had Mr.. Ballard present at
the meeting to-day to address the
members of the various draft boards.
The. idea suggested by Mr.. Bal
lard in his address was that the draft
boards appoint committees to take
charge of the instruction of their
registrants. A number of the draft
boards have already appointed such
committees.

By Assoeietsd Press

London, July s1.-The Reuter-
correspondent with the american
Army on the Aisne-Marne front
sends the following under Tuesday q
date:
Yesterday was a day of ceaseless
fighting, in which little actual prog
ress could be made. The enemy Of
fered a most determined resistance
and brought up fresh troops.
Throughout yesterday the en-
emy's machine gun fire scarcely
ceased, even when apparently none
of our men were in the open. The
fire swept every bit of cover where
they might be expected to be, and
during the morning was strongly
backed by artillery.
Shortly after they recaptured
Sergy, the Americans advanced up
the narrow valley dividing the hill
behind Sergy, and. after q fight in
which the bayonet and the rifle
butt were almost alone used, took
Meurcy farm, about a mile up the
valley.
The enemy held z1ringes in
great strength. The village was also
protected by machine gun nests on
either side. The attack was an al
most incredible affair for the COOL
ness with which it was carried out
and for the mere fact that it could
be done under such conditions.
The assaulting troops formed up
on the south side of the Ourcq on
open ground. The enemy opened
upon them a heavy fire of artillery
and machine guns along the slopes
east and west of the river. The
ground in front of the advancing
lines was plowed by the enemys fire,
but the men forded the river with
drill-like steadiness.
1T was wonderful performance
for any troops, astounding for troops
SO recently blooded, and as fine a
test as any to which the American
Army has been put.
The men went steadily up the
slopes, silenced one after another
the German machine gun nests, and
swept on to the top of the hill, then,
wheeling eastward, stormed the viii
lage. 1t was a fierce fight. There
was no asking or giving quarter
The enemy was stout-hearted, and
the Americans glad to find him so
They wanted that sort of a finish to
their ordeal. Some of the Germans
fled into Nesles forest. The re-

mainder are where they will remain
lin the village"
Amsterdam, July S1.-The Ber-
lin Vorwaerts correspondent at the
front telegraphs the following under
date of July 81.
I'm the battle between the Aisne
and the Marne the entente for the
first time threw American forces
into the fire. AS. a result of per-
sonal inquiries among the divisions
of Generals Won Etzel and Won Wat
ter in the center of the German
front, I am able to state the follow
ing:
'sThe Americans fought partly in
serried divisions, partly incorporat-
ed in the French forces. OF the
regiments now in the battle most
have been over a year in France:
the others Awere only superf1cially
trained in America and on the con-
tfnent. Their equipment is excel
lent throughout.
"The concensus of opinion among
our front troops is that the fighting
value of the Americans soldiers
should in no wise be underrated.
Boastful OF their American superb
ority and in high spirits, owing to
the fulsome flattery of the French
public, they rush into the fire with
naive recklessness, but as they have
not yet learned to flght in extended
order and how to protect themselves
skilfuIly from artillery fire, their
losses are Immensely heavier than
the others

On most farms more time Is spent
In cultivating than any other opera
ton. Sixty per cent of the crops arc
planted in rows that require culti-
waiting, which must be done at the
busiest season.

than ever before, which is absolute
ly necessary, he must cultivate more
land than ever before. With the

can cultivate two rows at time and
do it better. quicker and cheaper than
with horses.
The Moline Universal Tractor
straddies the corn row-it has moro
clearance than the ordinary cultiva-
tor-so corn can be cultivated in all
stages. The tractor is attached to the

and the cultivator the rear wheels.
The operator sits on the cultivator in
line with the right drive wheel of the
tractor, where he has clear and un-
