NO CLASS IN BREAD

Washington.-The national food adj
ministration reprints statement by
the Indiana state council of defense
that almost without exception the
authorities have been unable to verify
the rumors of glass in Bread" which
were given such wide circulation a
few months ago.
The Indiana state council of defense
gives this reason for the excitement:
Corn -four under the microscope,
shows many hard, flinty pieces of en-
dosperm (germ), which have very
CLASSY appearance When baked in
quick oven some of these particles
retain their glasslike appearance,
though in the ordinary process of
baking this appearance is lost. This
is the explanation given by experts
employed by the international Union
of Bakers and Confectionery Work
ers.

Board.

| Westinghouse in Alabama

by the national war labor board, which
orders that employees of the Sloss-
Sheffield Steel and Iron company at
Russellville, Ala, shall be treated as
! human beings. Other companies are
included in denunciation of a per
nit system" by which employers in
that district agree with each other
not to hire man until he can pro-
duee a permit from the company which
last employed him.
Other orders to the Sloss- Sheffield
company are:
Accept the principle of collective
bargaining.
Establish the eight-hour day, with
time and one-half for overtime.
Stop deducting 20 per cent for cash
ing advance pay checks for employees.
Stop the insurance system which
provides for deductions from the
workers pay.
Money due workers shall be paid at
face value with no deductions.
Increase wages of all employees So
day. (Former rates varied from
S1.85 to $4.25 day, with the bulk of
the employees receiving from 50 to SO
for 10-hour day.
At the hearings it was shown that
the company operates store from
which the workers purchase virtually
all of the necessities of life, and that
many of the workers receive less than
81 a week in their pay. envelopes ev-
cry two weeks because of these deduc-
tions and other charges, which include
hospital service, company physician
and for the maintenance of school.
With the right of organization as
sured, the workers are now in a po-
sition where they can correct other
evils. The national war labor board
will not depend on the company to
enforce this award, but has directed
that an examiner shall be appointed

award"

state of War in Archangel.
(By the Associated Press)
Moscow, June 23.-A state of war
has been proclaimed in the province
of Archangel.
The province of Archangel extends
from the Ural mountains westward to
Finland, a distance of approximately
900 miles, and from Vologda and Olo-
nets On the south to the Arctic ocean,
about 400 miles. 1t contains the ports
of Archangel and Mourmansk, the
only Russian outlets to the Arctic
ocean. 1t was on the Mourmansk
coast that French and British troops
were landed some time ago to protect
the Mourmansk railway, over which
allied supplies had been going into
Russia.
American Forces There.
Washington, July LIN the Rus
sian province of Archangel, where a
state of war has been proclaimed. ac-
cording to a dispatch from Moscow,
lies the Arctic port of Kola, with its
railroad guarded by allied and Amer
lean naval forces Consequently the
greatest interest attaches to any de-
veloprnents there and officials and
diplomats here are wondering what
the declaration of state of war may
mean.
All recent reports to the state de-
partment have represented conditions
to be quiet around Archangel and
along the railroad southwark from
kola, and it is hoped that the latest
development may mean no more than
that the Bolshevik government has
proclaimed martial law to maintain
order.
Vast Military Supplies There.
AT Kola and for miles inland along
the railroad there are acres of mill
tary supplies, running all the way
from locomoties and cannon to cloth
ing and provisions scattered over the
country. Most of these were shipped
from America and from England
when the Russians were still fighting
the Ger lans and were short of sup
plies. The goods accumulated while
the railroad from the Arctic port was
being rushed to completion as a mill
tary measure. When the line was
opened, but before any large quantity
of the supplies could be shipped south
ward, the Brest-Litovsk peace was
declared and the movement ceased.
1t is known that the Germans have
been exceedingly anxious to obtain
possession of tn ,se supplies, or if they
could not do SO directly to have them
taken over by the Finnish white
guards who have been acting under
German prompting.

Local Draft Boards Are Exam
lining QuestiOnnaires Today.
At an Early Hour Men of Draft
Age Present Themselves.
CAN PLACE THEM IN ARMY
Boards Have Right To Take
Drastic Action Now.
Dependency Claims Have No
Bearing on Classification.

Local draft boards today are busy
examining questionnaires to locate
men who are engaged in occupations
considered unnecessary to the success
full conduct of the war. Provost Mar
shall General Crowder's famous work
or fight order went into effect this
morning.
The order pertains to men within
the draft age and even at an early
hour this morning men were present
ing themselves a. the offices of their
local boards, either to obtain informa-
ton regarding their present usefulness
in the eyes of the government or with
a view of taking advantage of the Of
ferS of the draft boards, in accordance
with government suggestions. to help
them in finding essential occupations.
With the big June draft just off
their hands, other calls coming, the
reclassification of old regfstrants and
the classification of the 1918 regis
trants, coupled with the usual routine
of work, the offices of the draft boards
are busy places these days. But not
withstanding this, local boards thruout
the United States are supposed to be-
gin today to call men engaged in nom
productive employment before them
to explain why they should not be sent
to war.
Place Men in Army.
The boards have instructions to in
duct INTO military service Immediately
any physically fit men who cannot
show their occupations to be essential, |,
unless they believe the registrant
should have little time to adjust his
Industrial occupation.
Dependency claims and deferred
classifications will have no bearing
On the matter, it is said. However,
ev-n in view of these facts, it ii not
the intention G the government to be
unfair in putting the country on a
solid industrial sbssiss nor fe4vesrk y
hardship on registrants who show a
willingness to engage themselves in
useful occupations. Local boards
! have been instructed to cooperate
with the federal employment bureau
in assisting men to get into useful oc-
cupations.
Revoke Deferred C1assificatioIis.
Draft boards are cautioned to use
careful judgment in administering the
new rules and not to over-steu the
regulations in revoking deferred class
if1cations of men engaged in non-es-
sential occupations. When the board
finds a man who they believe. would
be of more use to his country III the
army than in his present occupation
he will be notified to appear before
them and explain why his deferred
classification should not be revoked
After he has been given notice, he
may have a sufficient time-no special
number of days is stipulated-to as
semble proof. and then shall be
granted an immediate hearing By the
board. Regardless of their decision.
all papers shall be forwarded to the
district board. In this way the case
automatically appeals itself. If the

German Guns Are Buster Than

MAY STRIKE AMERICAN LINES
Have MaSsed Forces in Front
of Marines on Marne.
Italians Are Improving Their
Positions in Mountains.

Both the French and British con-
tinued yesterday and last night their
recently adopted program of prodding
the Germans at various points along
the Franco-Belgian line capturing a
vantage point here and there and har-
assing the enemy while the prepara-
tions for the resumption of his often-

the line in local attacks at two sep
arate points but both on the western
side of the German salient which pro-
jects down to the Marine from the
Aisne They gained ground in each
attack and took prisoners and ma
chine guns.
The most pronounced gain was eff
fected by General Petain's troops just
above the point where their line joins
the American sector northwest of Bel
leau woods. They advanced here
south of Passy- -En-Va1oiS and carried
their line forward so that it now runs
east of the Chezy-Vinly railroad. In
addition they held on firmly to the
ground gained the night previous just
to the north in the region of Mosly,
| fighting off two German counter at
tacks.
| Southwest of Scissors, where the
brilliant stroke of last week placed
the French in a strong position on the
| important Laversine plateau, they
moved ahead again in the center of
their new line capturing strong point
of Cutry.
In ali the French took some 200
prisoners in these actions. The British
| stroke which was also IA local opera
| ton, was. well toward the southern
end of Air line, just above Albert,
norEFh of the Somme river. An inn
proveifl~>nt in the British positions,
was effected here and machine guns
and prisoners fN into their hands.
Severe battleAk are brewing on the
several fighting fronts. All ind1ca-
tions point tb an early resumption OF
| heavy fighting on fSie- erns line In
Italy the mountain zone is again the
scene of infantry operations.
Germans Have Forces Ready.
| Tension is increasing along the
British front in France as the ere

| mounts higher and higher. From
Ypres to Rheims the big guns are

days. and the Germans probably are
| preparing to react strongly against
| the allied nibbling tactics which cost
| them important points last week. The
| German command is known to have
| large forces in readiness on the main
battlefields of France. They may
strike anywhere on the 200 mile main
| front. as their communications give
