WITH TIE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Tuesday by The Associated
Press.-The American line now runs
$50 to 200 yards east of Cantigny as
a result of the successful attack today.
The nearest German trench is several
hundred yards east of where the Amer
leans have dug in. Thc Germans, it has
been found, had many outposts and ma
chine gun emplaeements in Cantigny
America s first offensive blow was
struck in q mist. The French tanks ap
parently did not have much to do, as
the American artillery already had pre-
pared the way. A bright sun came ort

dug In their new positions. As the
Americans started out across no man 8
lane there were many jokes about eat
ing ''Boche for breakfast. - Several of
fieers describing the scene agreed that
the outstanding feature was the Won
derful morale of the men and their
confidence in themselves. The Ger
mans poured machine gun bullets all
around the Americans as they We're dig

them, as jokes were handed back and

visited the field hospital this after
noon. He said that number of these

slightly wounded, acted like school boys

To make room for a new railway
station, a comparatively new concrete
building at Chicago was wrecked re-

Persistent onslaughts had to be made
with falling weights, oxyacetylene
torches, sledges, fire, water and dyna-
mite Wood fires were built around
the base Of the interior columns and

water the concrete would crack After
the rods were cut with torches, the

NEW YORK. Dec. 31.-New York Citv's shivering millions must face at least a twenty four hour continuation of zero weather with less than half the citys normal supply of coal coming into it's bins
 Several deaths due to the cold were reported today as well as hundreds or cases of exposure.
 At s o'clock tonight the mercury stood at two above zero. While the weather bureau believes the worst or the cold wave is past it did not holo out hope for any appreciable break within the next twenty four hours
 Closing up of office buildings, cur tailment of electric lighting and reduc- tion of all sorts of power wherever pos sible were some of the measures taken in an effort to cope with the wintry blasts. A Salvation Army station which had been shelterins hundreds of home less was forced to close its doors Brokers offices and banking houses ir the financial district were heated by oil stoves, in some cases dilapidated anc battered from long disuse Unprecedented drain on the city's gas supply presented another problem and gas company officials said theii plants would not be long able to keeT up the pressure.

 To clear up doubt existing on other points, General Crowder gave the fol- lowing supplementary instructions:
 'First-Sub- division A, class four, is the residuary class for registrants whose wives or children are mainly de- pendent on them for support and this applies to a widoWer whose own chil- dren are mainly dependent upon him for support.

RELIEF OF EASTERN

 GOVERNMENT AIM
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Measures to relieve the New England coal short age were taken tonight after the situa- ton had claimed the attention during the day of four government depart ments The problem was taken up jointly by the fuel administration. the navy department, the shipping board and the new director general of rail roads. These relief measures were an- nounced:
 The shipping board ordered nine steamers to proceed immediately to Hampton Roads for coal cargoes for New England and directed them to re- main in the service until the shortage is over.
 The navy department put at the dis posal of the fuel administration a part of large store of steam coal at the Boston navy yard and arranged to employ idle naval tugs and colliers in transporting coal from Hampton Roads to New England ports It also instructed navy yard commanders to distribute to the poor scraps of timber at the yards
 The director of railroads released 1.500 cars of coal standing on Penn sylvania railroad tracks between New York and Harrisburg. Pa. and direct ed that they go immediately to New England cities.
 The entire fuel situation and it's re- lation to railway and water transpor- tation was gone over at length today by Secretary McAdoo, director general of railroads, Fuel Administrator Gar field and Chairman Hurley of the shipping board. Dr. Garfield present ed plan of zone shipments for Ohio | and the North Atlantic states which he asked Mir. McAdoo to help him put 1 into operation. Under this arrange ment coal producing districts in Vest ern Pennsylvania and in West Nir- ginia would be set aside to supply dis tributing centers throughout the northeast. Gradually the system would be extended to include the whole country.
 In addition to the nine ships turned over to the New England coal carry i ing trade the shipping board will try i to supply other vessels and will utilize all tugs and barges that may be spared from other work.
 Authority granted by the director | general today to railroads to disregard priority orders when it is necessary (Continued on Page Two)

 THE WESTERN FRONT

Notwithstanding the fact that deep snow covers the ground along the western front in northern France, bit ter fighting has been in progress be- tween the British and Germans on the Cambrai sector. After having captured British front line positions Sunday and later lost the greater portion of them in d counter attack, the Germans Mon- day again set forth after heavy bom- bardment in quest of a much desired position-the Welsh ridge-which lies to the south of Marcoing in the old Hindenburg line and offers a splendid vantage point for observation.

On the other part of the line the Germans were met with whitening fire and compelled to rtereat with heavy casualties.
 Aside from this battle little fighting of moment is in progress on any of the fronts, although violent artillery duels continue at various points in France and Italy. Especially heavy is the duel around Monte Tomba. on the northern Italian front It is in this sector that the French are lending their aid to the Italians and in their first attack against the enemy they cap tured important positions and took about 1,40O prisoners and sixty ma chine guns and seven big guns as booty

LONDON, Dec. 31.-An important step towards rationing the nation with regard to the essential food supplies was taken today when Baron Rhondda, the food controller, issued a provisional model scheme to the local food com mittees The memorandum deals with measures to prevent food queues; the new powers of food committees; regis tration of customers registration of re- tailers; rationing of manufacturers, caterers and institutions and local, voluntary arrangements for adjusting supplies.
 To prevent food lines, Lord Rhondda says that every customer should be registered at one shop, and not allowed to deal elsewhere. Shopkeepers should be required to divide supplies in fair proportion among the registered custo- mers. and no shopkeeper should be al lowed to register more customers than he can conveniently serve.
 This scheme will be discussed by the local committees with the wholesalers and retailers and the results reported to the food controller.

Record For 1917, Outlook For 1918
 Shown i'm Detail

Yes, business has been good in Phoenix, the Salt River valley and Arizona in 1917 and indications are for even better business in 1918, un- less something now unexpected should happen. It will pay every resident of this city, valley and state to scan with care pages 10 to 12 in- elusive of this issue for the financial and business information they con tain. It will be revelation to even the best informed that business has thus expanded in 1917. These fig ures are carefully compiled and the statements are by men who know who make it their business to know. Taken with a banking deposit in- crease of over three millions, post al increase of over S25,000 for the year and a demand for Arizona pro- ducts which the state is absolutely unable to supply, the outlook for . prosperous New Year even in these times of war is excellent.
