INFERIOR STEEL S
 CAUSE OF ARREST
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wirel

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 16.-Alleged substitution of large quantities of in ferior and valueless' steel for the tested metal in the building of ships for the Emergency Fleet corporation here was revealed here today in the arrest of Prosper J. Forrest general manager of the Edwin J. Forrest Forge Com pany of this city. He was held on bonds of S5,O0O by the United States commissioner.
 Federal officials said they had evil dence that Forrest submitted worthless steel to shipyards here after giving samples to the government tending to show that the metal was the tested and approved product Il was said an in vestigation Of the case will be begun soon by a federal grand jury, the in quiry to include other foundrymen and steel manufacturers.
 Forrest also was charged with at tempting to recover the samples sub mitted to the government in order to remelt them and thus destroy some of the evidence against him. These samples, said to weigh three tons, were taken to police headquarters.

LONDON, Feb 16-The Irish Times in a leading article today says that at tack carried out by French infantry in the Champagne on February IS, though on a minor scale was of some import ance, having for it's object the elimina tion of a troublesome salient. Contin- uing the newspaper says:
 The attack was completely success ful being pressed home to the third line of German defenses and yielding 150 prisoners.
 Tn this action American guns played a part which the French, the most eX- pert artillerymen in Europe, were quick to praise. The American batteries ef- fectively destroyed the German de- lenses in artillery preparation. They covered the French assault with a roll- ing barrage, cut off the rear communi- cations of the enemy and after the cap ture of the objective heightened the bafrage with precision and projected the French infantryS new position.
 The incident is important as show ing that already the American forces in the line have fully mastered the intri- cate technicalities and exact co-oper- ation upon which success in modern war depends. This is full of promise for the larger part which the American army is destined soon to play on the western front.
 The American Republic has begun to repay the debt owed to the first republic of Europe and this time as the two republics stand together, Great Britain stands with them in vindica tion of the great principles which it is their mission to assert before the world"

GOAL ORDER SENT 48O SHIPS ID SEA
Republican A.P. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Some hitherto unannounced details of the causes and results of the five day industrial sus- pension and heatless Monday order were disclosed here tonight by Fuel Administrator Garfield in an address to the alumni of Williams college. Dr. Garfield praised the people for the tranquility with which they met the economic crisis.
 As a result of the closing order, Dr. Garfield said. 4S0 ships carrying more than 100000 tons of food, fuel, and war supplies, which had been tied up in Atlantic ports, were bunkered and sent to sea from January r, the day the order became effective, to January 29. A normal number of ships only remain at anchorage, he declared, and the flow of supplies necessary to the American expeditionary forces and the allies had been established. In ad- dition. the fuel administrator contin- ued,. the rails were cleared for import ant shipments of steel and other com modities to factories without which, the most essential war industries inev- tably would have been closed but not in an orderly fashion"

SUBMARINE SHOOTS
 UP PEACEFUL DOVER
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

LONDON, Feb. 16.-German naval activity off Dover, which opened early yesterday morning with an attack by German destroyers on the British pa trol forces in the straits, where a trawler and seven drifters were sunk, and continued this morning with an attack by a submarine on the town it. self, apparently was undertaken in the hope of countering the British success against the German submarines, which
 use the straits to the open seas.
 The patrol was after a submarine which, it is believed, sent wireless appeal for help to Zeebrugge when it
 was attacked. According to one report, the patrol had in the last few weeks destroyed four submarines and had virtually closed this vital waterway to U-boats. It was in an effort to
 break this barrage that the destroyers came out. They succeeded in sinking a few small patrol boats, and got away
 before British warships could overtake them. This mornings affair was a small one, about thirty shells being thrown
 into the town. All the casualties were caused by one shell.
