AMERICANS CAPTURE
 THOUSAND PRISONERS

LONDON, July 15.-Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, an- nounced in the house of commons to- night that the Americans had cap tured a thousand or more prisoners south of the Marne after having driv- en the enemy back.
 MT. Bonar Law read the following communication to the house:
 The enemy attacked early this morning on a front of nearly 90 kilo- meters, pretty evenly divided east and west of Reims. The city itself was not attacked.
 West of Reims the Germans pene- trated on a front of 36 kilometers (23.3 miles) to an average depth or from four to five kilometers. Counter Attack Brilliant South of the Marne, by a brilliant counterattack the American troops drove the enemy back and took a thousand or more prisoners. East of Reims the enemy has been heavily repulsed and has suffered a complete check"
 Before reading the communication, MT. Bonar Law said it had reached him from the front shortly before II | o'clock
 may duu, ne salu, m addition to | what l am going to read, that the prime minister has been in telephonic communication with headquarters and
 teh report given to him as coming from General Foch is that he is well
 satisfied with the results of today's
 fighting"
 Sir Walter Runciman said the house
 would wish to offer congratulation:
 not only to the French, but to the
 American troops who and justified
 themselves, not for the first time, or | a critical occasion.

 may be considered as nothing on ac- count of the efforts displayed and the
 losses sustained, a general impression
 of confidence reigns within the French lines. French aviators were very active in harassing the enemy and destroyed two bridges loaded with German | troops.

TRANSFER GERMAN CHEMICAL WORKS TO
 AMERICAN OWNERS

NEW YORK. July 15-Almost sim ultaneously with the United States severance of diplomatic relations with Germany, control of three large chem ical companies in this city, Niagara Falls. N. Y., and Perth Amboy, N. J., was transferred from German to American ownership to prevent the concerns falling into uhe hands of the government
 w. A. Mamann, diredtinS head of the companies. and Oscar E. Seitz. who went to Germany to negotiate the sale of stock, today admitted that this was the object of the transfer. They testi- fled at an inquiry conducted here by Deputy Attorney GeneEal Becker or New York at the request of A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian.
 Feared Government Seizure.
 While denying that he and other American purchasers of the controlling stock were dummies serving for German interests until after the war, Mir. Hamann confessed freely that fear of government seizure of the property 'he had worked so hard to build up" prompted the sending of Seftz as a confidential messenger to Germany carly in 1917 to buy out the German stockholders. Mir. SeitZ, who com- pleted the purchase in Frankfort, Feb ruary 6, three days after President Wilson sent Von Bernstorff his pass ports said that the "beak" was the final facto in inducing tn Germans to sell their stock.
 The companies concerned are the Roessler and Passlacher company. the Niagara Electro Chemical company, and the Perth Amboy Chemical com pany. They were established by the Scheide- -Ansataldt company of Frank fort, which. until the date mentioned. held 55 per cent of the stock. Control was given to American citizens by sale of per cent of the holdings, at prices which the alien property custo- dian alleges were far below their value.
 Fight for Rights
 To contradict the claim of Hamann and Seitz that the German sharehold- CTS were willing to sell at a sacrifice 10 insure retention of the properties by the Americans who represented them. the government offered in evidence a letter from Dr. Fritz Rossler, a prin- cipal in the Scheide- -Ansataldt com pany, to Mir. Hamann, which said:
 Rather than accept genuine sale at inadequate prices, would let the worst come and trust to fight for car rights in free America
 The letter was mailed at Frankfort only two months before the sale of control, which involved almost S1,000. 900.

 CONSIDER TERMS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

OAKLAND, Calif. July 15.-Striking members of the boiermakers union, whose refusal to work tied up three local shipyards today voted tonight to hold mass meetino tomorrow morn ing to consider terms submitted this afternoon at a conference in San Fran cisco.
 PORTLAND, Ore, July 15.-Charles M. Schwab. director general of the Emergency fleet corporation, who is spending several days in Portland, sent telegram today to William Atkinson, acting president of the International Boilermakers Union at Kansas City, Mo, urging him to act immediately to- ward ending the boilermakers' strike at Oakland, Cal.
 In his telegram, MT. Schwab said:
 Tt seems incredible to us that at the moment when the Germans are making a renewed drive against the Americans in France any body of American work men could stop building ships for any reason whatever. Machinery for set ting such differences as may arise has been provided by the government and the workmen should place these dit- ferences for adjustment before the properly constituted government offi cials. We are counting on you ;.-, your organization to point out to the men the enormity and unwisdom of their act at this critical time
 In a speech at one of the shipyards today. Charles Piez, general manager of the Emergency fleet corporation. de- nounced in scathing terms the Oakland strikers.
 WASHINGTON, July 15.-Louis Weyand of Cleveland, president of the International Boilermakers' union, an- nounced late tonight that he had is sued an order to striking boilermakers at Oakland, Cal, to return to work at once. The controversy will be investi- gated by the labor adjustment board for shipyard disputes, Mir. Weyand l said
 OAKLAND, Cal, July 15.-Members of the shipyards laborers union were considering in mass meeting tonight what action they should take on claims that 1900 of their membership has not drawn full wages under the Macey scale.
 All work on 26 ships being built for the government contract was tied up today by the failure of the boiler makers to appear for work, the riveters being members of the boilermakers union. Included in this number of ves- sels was 12,000 ton ship at the yards of the Bethlehem corporation which ii had been expected to turn out in rec ord time.

 that is the best that can be expected
 in so nearly stage of the offensive, before the German effort has reached it's full development.
 For once the Germans are not fav- ored by the clements. The sky is over
 cast, the weather is unsettled and,
 most important, the wind is southwest This is vital gain for the defense. for lit makes it difficult, if not impossible, for the Germans to make extensive use l of gas.

Allies Had Advantage

Another advantage the allies have had was that the attack was expected just where it was delivered. It was considered logical, even unavoidable tha von Gallwitz' army, the only one not yet used in this years offensive, should be chosen to carry out these operations.
 This area, apart from its bearing on Paris, offers various subsidiary possi- bilities. First, of widening the pocket in the allied line made by the May of fensve; second, upsetting the allies communications to the east and west if the Germans get near enough to Cha Ions and Epernay; third, of occupying Reims, already invested on three sides; fourth, of expressing the Dormans- Reims front a constant menace to the German army facing west from Cha teau Thlerry to Soissons, and fifth, of lenvelepng by an attack towards Eper- nay and Chalons the troops resisting in the forest and mountains of Reims and to the north, and lastly of clearing out the army which has held the Ar gonne forest since September, 1914, and which could not be attacked from tally

Americans Retake Gains

From this it will be seen that an at tack in this region was self evident and General Foch was able safely to dis pose all necessary reserves to meet it without fear of being caught elsewhere by a surprise attack.
 How well preparations were made is evident from the slight results gained by the Germans. After a days heavy fightin~ east of Reims on the battle field of 1915, they made no impression whatever on the French. Only on their left did they succeed in crossing the Marne between Fossev and Dormans, getting precarious footing at one or two points on the southern bank. The greater part of their gains were re- taken by Americans
