HUNS RELY ON SHOCK
TROOPS, SAYS BAKER

Both the Allies aud Germans are
now ready for battle on the west front.
Secretary Of War Baker announced to-
day in his weekly war review The
Germans recently have withdrawn a
number of their west-front units from
the first-lue trenches and are busily
tra ming them in mobile warfare.
According to advices received the
German general staff hopes that bv
massng large number OF these picked
tensively trained. they may deliver a
crushing blow"
However Baker adds. a large number
of units, the bulk Of the German forces
now assembled in the west, are wholly
unframed in the method of western
front warfare
Furthermore. Baker says. the German
command realizes fully that these
forces will he met with far more diff
cult tactical obstacles than any hitherto
encountered by an attacking army \

Baker expressed a belief that the Ger
mans may find it expedicnt to advance
on Petrograd." He made the statement
in view of the concentration Of IAN inn

vicinity of Riga.
ut is difficult to determine the exact
status OF affairs in southwestern Rus

The retreat Of Russian soldiers be-
fore the Turkish army has resulted in
Russian evacuation of the Armenian CEN
ters south of the Black Sea. The Turks
are occupying these posil ions. and Ire
bizond probably will fall into Turkish
hands soon
The Secretary also told Of American
trench activities during the week. Rainy
weather kept the men at the pumps
much of the time to keep the trenchs
inkabitable. Late in the week hostile air
craft appeared frequently over the Amer
lean positions and "a marked improve
ment in our anti-airCraft barrage was
reported The sector was "shOwercd
with gas bombs. which, however, caused
no casualties. owing to efficient gas

The most important engagement Of

PAY OF MEN TO BE FIXED BY
 COST OF LIVING.
Shipbuilding Trades Take Lead in Sci entific Method of Regulat-
 Ina Incomes.

Washington-The United States shipping board wants 250.o00 expert workmen to labor in shipping yards.
 And there are thousands of patriotic American workmen who are willing to give up their present jobs and enter upon this new labor
 The trouble is to bring the men and the board together Necessarily the present campaign for enlistment of 95o 900 men seems lacking in essential details as follows.
 First-What wages the men are to get
 Second Where they are to work.
 Third What the housing conditions are in the town to which they may be sent
 As to wages the answer in effect is this: The prevailing scale of wages paid in union shops ir that particular section will be paid
 The shipbuilding labor adjustment board is moving as rapidly as possible to draw up scale of wages fitted for each section of the country in which there are shipyards
 This board is made up of the follow ing Everet Macy. chairman, named by President Wilson Louis A Cool idge, named by the navy department and the shipping board, and A. Der res. named by the American Fedora ton of Labor.
 This board has already settled both the wage scale and the working condi- tions for all the shipyards on the Pa, cific coast, and is now busy on other sections.
 IL will seek 10 adjust wages to the higher costs of living resulting from the war. By eQualizing the wage rates it seeks 10 prevent the enticing of workers from one yard to another which demoralizes shipbuilding. in. stead of helping II
