With the American Army on the Aisne- -Marne Front, July 26.-(By The Associated FSess.)-The American troops advancing along the Marne have discovered hundreds of dead Germans The victims fell before the heavy machine gun fire of the Amer jeans during the retreat In one horseshoe area the ground was cover ed with dead The Americans buried as many bodies as was possible. It is estimated that 1000 Germans fell there.

The pris- oner said he was tired of the war and was determined to secret himself, not withstanding the fact that he had no food and later take a chance by sur rendering to the allies. He asserted that the German soldiers were dis satisfied with the way affairs were go- ing and that the general opinion among them was that the crown prince was unable to bring sufficient rein forcements or supplies to aid the fore es being attacked from the south

Before the fighting ded Gown along the wester. side of the Rhelms Sois sons salient the village of Oulchy le Chateau and Villemontoire were cap tured by French and American troops. whC advanced their lines eastward of Oulchy. The fall of Oulchy gives the allied forces the key to the heights dominating F,ere en Tardenois, which lies only short distance to the east. At Oulchy forty guns and hundreds of prisoners were captured by the Amer ican and French troops.
 Big allied guns have been pulled up in this region and are heavily she'll ing the sectors before them over which it is proposed to push forward and capture Fere en Tardenois when the time is ripe. Meanwhile allied big guns over the entire salient continue to throw shells from all angles into the German forces inside the big bag.
 While there has been no attempt by the Germans at general retreat from the salient. the belief prevails along the battle front that an indication that a retreat is purposed is shown by the fact that the enemy is using compar- at.veiy small forces of infantry on va rioEs sectors under attack, depending mainly on his machine gunners to re tard the progress of the allies.
 Ir France and Flanders the British rave been compelled to withstand sev. @ral violent attacks by the Germans "a"r HebVterne and in the vicinity ot Meteren. The enemy in both sector! 'Yas reDulsed with heavy casualties. On the other battle fronts the mill 'ary activity is nominal although con
 dcrable fighting continues in Maca. | lcnia and Albania. with the allied ! troops holding the upper hand.

SOUTH HAS DROPPED
 THE oNE-CRoP SYSTEM
In That Section Large Quantities of
 Food Are. Being Raised.

Dallas, Texas, July 26.-The south has dropped the one-crop system and is beginning 10 feed itself and help the rest of the nation, thus putting an end to the story about a Texas farmer who bought his beans in Boston, his furniture ill Grand Rapids, his food in Kansas City and raised only cotton and pack of hungry dogs.
 The war, according to authorities, has done more than years Cf advice in bringing about the present situa- tion in the south, where large quan- titles of food now are being raised. The immediate and important effect members of agricultural departments say, is the sharp decrease in the drain on the north and west, which now per- mits of greater overseas shipments from those sections.
 Fixed government prices, insuring a fair return, encouraged planting agents of the agricultural departments and agricultural schools pointed out to the southern farmer the benefits of a varied crop, and the excellent weather brought crops that authorities say will result in still greater acreage of wheat and oats next year. The ideal weather resulted in an early harvest
 Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana North Carolina, Florida and Virginia will harvest greatly diversified fooc crops this year. One striking result is shown in a shipping report from Ala. bama. Until four years ago from | counties in the state not a single car. load of hogs was shipped. In the year ending April 1. 1918, hogs to fill 1852 were sent from the same counties. Int value of the hogs now growing il these counties was estimated at $4,. 900, 900. Formerly the section raised little except cotton.

A controversy over the payment of the bonus resulted in a Walkout at several factories this week curtailing the production of news print by 75 per cent. An appeal to the war labor board to interpret the award which was made yesterday was referred to MT. Croeker and MT. Guerin, who after considering briefs submitted by both
 nDloyers and the men, held tAe bonus was "a voluntary contribution" on the part of the employers.
 The workmen are not entitled to the bonus in addition to the wage award by the war labor board" MT. Guerin and MT. Crocker decided, unless the employers desire to do it as a volun- tary act as was done prior to this dispute arising.''
 The employers, it was held are nor ally bourd to pay the bonus for May and June because the notice originally granting it said the bonus would con tinue until the men were informed of the discontinuance. It also was held that the shortening of the work day from nine to eight hours was not to permit any reduction in wages.

London, July 26. = Premier LlAyd George tonight announced in behalf of the government that all men who will fully absent from work on or after Monday next will be deemed to have voluntarily placed themselves outside the munitions industries. Protection certificates will cease to have effect and the men will become liable to the provisions of the military service act, the premier added.
 The statement pointed out that certain workers had quit their jobs in disregard of their leaders and re- mained idle against the advice Of the union advisory committed.
 "They have ceased to work" the statement said. mot in pursuance of a trade dispute but in an endeavor to force the government to change na- tional policy essential to the prosecu- tion of the war
 "While. millions of their fellow countrymen hourly are facing danger and death for their country. the men on strike have been granted eXemp- tions from these epr;ls only because their services are considered of more value to the state in the workshops than in the army"

PRESIDENT DENoUNCES
 MOB SPIRIT AND ACTION
Deprecates Lynching of Negroes in the South as We'll as Enemy Aliens.

Washington, July 26. - President Wilson today. in a personal statement, addressed his fellow countrymen. de- nouncing mob spirit and mob action, called upon the nation to show the world that while it fights for democ- racy on foreign fields it is not destroy ing democracy at home The president referred not alone to mob action against those suspected of being ene- my aliens or enemy sympathizers; he denounced most emphattcally mob ac- ton of all sorts, especially lynchinss and while he did not refer specifically to lynchings of negAes in the south it is known that he included them in his characterization of mob spirit as "a blow at the heart of ordered law and humane justice"
 It is known that the lynching of negroes, as well as attacks upon those suspected of being enemies or sympathizers, have been used by the German propaganda throughout Gen. tral and South America as well as in Europe to contend that the preten- sions of the United States as a cham pion of democracy are sham.
 Deeply concerned by the situation the president decided to address his fellow countrymen. and to declare that every mob contributes to German lies about the United States what her most gifted liars cannot improve upon by way of calumry." ..

BRITISH REVIEW OF WEEK
 ON THE WESTERN FRONT
The Present German Salient is Now 20
 Miles Long and 20 Miles Deep.

London, July 26.-As a result of the past weeks activities the whole situa- tion on the western front has been transformed. The Germans, according to despatches from the front, have used 65 divisions on the Champagne front, and the whole of the crown princes reserves have been exhausted. The only fresh reserves remaining to the Germans are less than 30 divisions at tackled to Crown Prince Rupprecht's armies.
 Last week it appeared certain that Prince Rupprecht would be called upon to launch an attack on the British front, but the enemy put off this at tack and the psychological moment for it probably has passed, for the Ger man sappear committed to the great battle in grOgress and cannot afford to stake heavily on a dubious opera tion at another part of the front, ac- cording to the view of British experts.
 The present German salient is now 20 miles wide and 20 miles deep and, similarly, IS dominated by the allied artillery.
 Evidence has reached the allies in the shape of captured documents to show that the enemy had made up his mind or the day after the allied of LSI4SiN6 began to unQerJdko a r6Llro- ment to a line along either the Ardre or Vesle, and actually had given or l ders for this. but these orders were ] later cancelled, presumably owing to the difficulty of effecting an orderly retirement in the pinched salient, and 1t IS now possible that the German ] command has decided to retain the i present positions as long as possible.
 Meanwhile the military writers point out, the allies are using up the Ger man reserves in 6 battle where the Germans are continuously in disad yantageous position so the situation is \ entirely satisfactory to the allies If the enemy remains in the salient ht cannot possibly undertake any i1npor
 tant offensive therefrom, and the allie:
 could hold the salient lightly and de
 vote their energies elsewhere.
 One reason for the Germans aban donment of the plan for retirement i found in the reports of allied airmen which show tremendous congestion along the lines of German cofnmunf cation. The Germans may be n1erei, holding on as long as possible in orde to effect an orderly withdrawal ant to remove the vast accumulations 0 stores and munitions which had beel gathered in this district, ready for great advance southwark

 are constantly under the allies snel T fire, and work along them must b very difficult

KAISER IS URGING HIS
 VAsSALS TO BE PATIENT
Says "The Hardest Part of the Job is
 Still Before Us."

The Hague, July 26.-"The hard est part of the job is still before us The enemy knows the war is about to reach the point of decision and is summoning all his strength for a final defense and counter defensive"
 This was the observation of the German emperor, recorded by Karl RC.Sner in the Berlin Lokal Anzeigger and apparently made on the eve of General Foch's offensive. On the same occasion Field Marshal Von Hinden- burg, gave Rosner the following statement:
 Tt is to be hoped the people at home arc full of confidence. But they are not learned in patience. I hope nothing is so promptly punished, as overhaste is no good.
 Preparation is half the battle, and the people must remember we are not working with machines that can be smashed as soon as the job is com plefed. We are working with the most sacred thing we possess, namely, the blood and life of the German people Our last reserves must be strong mer who will return from the trenches tc take up peace tasks. We must not be left at the end like smashed machines but must be strong and unweakened.'

Works Resuminq Operations.

WorhS heSumlnq operations.
 London, July 26.-The appeal of the munitions trades advisory committee urging the munitions strikers to re- turn to work pending an inquiry, had a good effect, according to news re- eyed from Birmingham and Covenry this afternoon. At Coventry one of the largest works was enabled to resume operations, while in Birmingham the action of several unions, including the employees of the big power companies which supply the biz munitions fac tories, in refusing to strike had good result and it was reported this after noon that there were less men on strike than yesterday.
 Another influence against the strike was that wielded by discharged sol diers and sailors, whose federation, representing 5000 men pledged their loyalty to Winston Spencep Churchill m mister of munitions.
 A statement issued today by the strikers representing than 100000 men are out. appears to he greatly ex- ag@erated. It was said today by off, cials of the comma nies that not more than 12,O00 to 15.0OO were idle and that the women and unskilled workers were strongly opposed to the strike.
