l4O9h Day Of the War; S3rd Dav Of the Big Offensive

Picardy Front-The new German
drive between Noyon and Montdidier
which is developing the most savage
and sanguinary fighting of the war, is
now regarded as Hindenburg' IS supreme
effort to split the allied armies, reach
Paris and force decision on the west
front before America s full strength is
thrown into France.
More than quarter of million of
Germans has been thrown into the at
tack on the comparatively narrow front
up to midnight and reserves were being
fea~in constantly.
The French, forewarned APPARENTLY
were III better position to oppose this
drive than any previous phase of the
big offensive. By constant counter at.
tacks and aided by heavy artillery con
centratiOns, the French have inflicted
appalling losses on the advancing Ger
mans.
Today IS French communique show 4 a
resumption Of the enemy s progress
particularly on the east wing and on

TROOPS TRANSPORT
RECORD FOR MAY
Over Quarter Million Men
Sent Across Ocean Dur
ing Last Month
By Carl d. Groat

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, June 1l.--Piling up a
record in May for troop transport the
nation sent across around quarter Of
million men.
This brought the shipments past the
100000 mark, as officially revealed by
Secretary Of War Baker. In few more
weeks he will be able to announce the
passing of the million mark and 1t ia
assumed he will Withhold his next state
ment until he has reached this found
number.
The secretary had intended waiting a
while longer before making his an
nouncement, but under the inspiration
of a talk to French blue devils here he
decided to publish these figures.
Men in charge Of transportation de
clare the U-boats have had absolutely
nc effect upon June shipments. Their
coming only made these men grit theit
teeth and say ego ahead" And this Is
what they are doing. Their theory was
that any relaxation in troop and supply
transportation would be d confession
Of weakness, merely playing into Ger
many's hands.
However, more June tonnage is taker
up with supplies than was the case II
May. This means that the june trooI
figures probably win be somewhat lowe
than May figures.

Former Russian Vice Premier Konova,

KonOyaloff was one of three ill fat

tlINDENBURG PAYS GHASTLY
PRICE FOR SMALL ADVANCE
French We're Prepared For
Present Drive and Are Ex
acting Heavy Toll
By ]. W. T. Mason
[United Pres War Expertl

\
New York, JUNG n.-Von Hindenburg
is showing a blO6dy determination to
pay General Foeh's CHASTITY price for
the capture of COmpiegne.
The slow advance of the Germans in
the center of the Montdidier Noyon of
fensive is causing the movement to-
ward Compiegne to assume the pyramid
ial form that General Foeh enforced
on Won Hindenburg during the advance
to the Marne. This means that General
Foch is master of the situation SO far
as future consideration of strategy is
concerned. If Compiegne falls into Ger
man possession, Won Hindenburg will
have been forced to turn his former
Montdidier-Noyon position into a sharp
wedge, which will ada perhaps fifteen
miles to the German front.
At six thousand men per mile, the
new line will requiEa ninety thousand
more Germans than formerly for its pro-
lection. That is, 10000 more Germans
will be removed from Won Hindenburg s
reserves anu placeu III the olssh oa''ie
line. The REIMBURSEMENT OF Complegne
lc Won ilindenourg might be well con-
siderea worth this result plus German
casualty toll which the French are ex-
acting.
There is every reason to believe that
in no other sector since Won linden
burg's spring offensive began have che
German casualties been SO high pro

ward Compiegne. The French have

Retailers VIII Be Urged Not
to Deal In Non-Essentials
During War

Washington, June 1.-THE American
people and business must prepare for
a severe lesson in conomics-diversion
of nearly forty percent of their earn
ings 30 war needs and conversion of
non-essential industries to war work.
Today the total earnings of the ma
ton s workers, manufacturers, retail
,ers and other trades and business
amount to $6O,000,000,000. The wal
this year, Secretary McAdoo estimates,
will cost $24,000,000 900
Fuel administration officials an
nounce that a fifty per cent eurtail-
ment in non-war industry is essential,
to save fuel. This will be made as grad.
ual as possible. Fifty to sixty million
tons of coal must be saved this year
by enforced curtailment, it was declal
! ed.
A tentative list of nonswar industries
has been prepared for guidance OF the
war government in cutting industry
Changes are necessary from time tC

Coal production is dropping off, the
decline for last week being one mil
lion tons below that OF the previous
week. 1t is more than one million ton!
below the weekly production necessary
lif the 6OO,O0O,0O0 tons production thi'
year is obtained. - 2F sasY
The government is developing al
elaborate campaign of education to CT
feet a patriotic refusal on the part Of
the people to buy non-essentials. TN
officially. it favors the abandonment
of the zone tax on newspapers ant
other periodicals and an increased
price for newspapers and periodical
that these mediums may aid in the ed
ucational work and not lose their pres
ent income from advertising of ar
ticles not vital to the war
The retailers Of the country will b.
urged not to deal in non-essentials,
/ Another year of the war and tn
drain of labor for war work will nlak
non essential industry virtually i'm
possible anyhow. Periodicals would d
well to prepare to get more out OF SUB
scriptions and less out of advertising
officials believe. Taxes will get eight,
per cent Of the "big. fellows" earn
lings. This will enforce economy in lux
uries. The man whose earnings are be
low $4,000 year cannot be called up
on TO turn half his earnings to wa
needs but his average will be approx
limately twenty per cens.

Tive Hundred Members VIII
Be Taken to Circus Next

There are going to be 200 or more
boys and girls Of Marion and Polk
counties who will have an especially
good time next Thursday when tba big
Sells -Floto circus comes to the city.
The United States National Bank
which has always taken an especial
pride in its "Boys and Girls Pig Club I"
is today sending out invitations to each
and every Of its little members an in
vitation to attend the circus as its
quests. The bank has made arrange.
ments with the circus people to reserve
200 seats in body for its little club
members and these are being invited
by special letter to each, to be at the
bank at / o'clock Thursday afternoon,
from which place they will start in a
body for the circus grounds.
The party will be in charge Of
George W. Eyre, who is a sort Of
father to all the club members, and
ne will be assisted in looking after tht
young folks by a couple of Salem
ladies. Every youngster remembers
circus day but it is a safe prediction
that the members of the Boys and
Girls Pig Club will hold this one circus
day in remembrance as long as they
live.
1t will be great treat to the guests
but it is doubtful if they will derive as
much pleasure from it as will the bank
folks who engineered the scheme.
This, partly because it is better to
give than to receive, and partly be.
cause the doing Of a thing that brings
pleasure to others always brings as
great or greater pleasure to those who
do it.

gain decisive success, but
both General Foch and General
Petain know the positions be-
yond which the Germans can
not advance.

that the supreme moment when
