J. c. Hise of the department of labor
at Washington has opened general en-

company on the ground floor of the
Chamber of Commerce building, on the
Nineteenth street side, and Louis Bowen

while Mrs. L. w. Pittmap is his assist

The government has decided to estab

employment. The idea is to secure the
right men for the right places, and the
government invites any employee to file
wants with the bureau, housemaids, poor

Including the Birmingham district, that
entire section is sure to become one of
the greatest hives of industry in the
world, and in the Muscle Shoals district
all can be accomplished without the ex-
penditure of single ton of coal. In
fact, all of the Muscle Shoals produc-
ton is secured by the utilization of in
exhaustible natural resource. The gov

plant which will furnish the electricity
for the nitrate plants Not later than
July l the synthetic plant will be com
pleted and the manufacture of nitrate
for explosives, following the process
which has been used in Germany, will
begin. Some of the figures which tell
in detail of this great government under
taking will convey some idea of it's mag
nitude; for instance, one of the dams at
Muscle Shoals is to be 6420 feet in length,
making it the longest dam in the world
and will be 40 feet high. and the entire
reservoir area will be 2500 acres. This
dam, when completed, will be capable Of
generating nearly 100000 horse power.
After the war is ended the industry
established at Muscle Shoals, where for

Marne-Aisne Victories
Have Wide Effect.

London. Aug. 3.-Foch's Marne-
Aisne victories are beginning to make
their long-distance effect felt. The
Germans are getting out of the Albert
salient created by the last phase OF
their March-April drive. So far the
retirement has been of a local nature
on a front Of about three miles. but
a large scale withdrawal including the
abandonment of Albert. the important
intersection seventeen miles northeast
Of Amiens Is considered likely by mill
tary observers. Already they have
yielded a considerable stretch of
ground on the west bank of the Ancre
on which the town is situated.
The greater part of the ground
that had been held by the enemy west
of the Ancre is in our possession"
Haig announced in his night bulletin.
I'VE are following the enemy. A
number of dead has been found In the
abandoned trenches"
The German position in and around
Albert has been precarious ever since
the Picardy offensive came to an end.
In the last phase of the battle for
Amiens the Germans tried hard and
often to debouch from the town, but
were invariably beaten.
From the position on the hills west
OF Albert the British dominate the
town and much OF the surrounding
terrain and pure pride and stubborn
mes have hitherto prevented the Ger
mans from getting out. coupled. per-
haps. with the plan of ultimately re-
suming the drive for Amiens where
they had to stop it. The withdrawal
now under way is therefore regarded
as a tacit admission that the thought
OF such a new offensive in this sector
has had to be abandoned.
