American Troops Defeat Ger.
mans at Several Points in
Local CombatS.
DISREGARD HOT FIRE
Almost lncessant Shower of Enemy
Shells Falls to Prevent Yankees
From Taking and Retaining
Coveted Positions.

Washington, Aug. TO- - General
Pershing's communique covering
latest operations made public by the
war department says: North OF the
Vesle there were local combats, result
Ing in gain of ground for our troops"
Enemy Smelling Incessant.
With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. 10.-Under almost, inces-
SAINT shell fire the Americans struggled
forward to slightly better positions
north Of the Vesle. French divisions
to the east and west did their part in
Strengthening the line.
Along the entire front there was
evident determination to stabilize
the lines. Whether the battle that
began July Is has virtually ended or
whether the Germans will withdraw
beyond the Aisne are unanswered
questions.
To the Americans already north OF
the river there was added considerable
strength. The line is well fixed along
the Rouen-Rheims road from near
Bazoches, which still is in the hands
of the Germans, to a point we'll east
of Fismes. The Americans hold Fismes
apparently secure, but the village of
North Fismes proved difficult and was
subjected to a terrific shelling by the
American artillery, with the intention
of making it untenable. With that
small point once cleared, the line
would run uninterruptedly toward the
east
The Germans have had strong ma
chine gun positions in Fismes and to
the north and east 1t was the oppo-
sition offered by them that resulted in
the American determination not to at
tempt occupation by The infantry, but
to destroy the enemy by artillery.
On the hills beyond the line at al
most every available point the German
light artillery has been placed while
the heavy guns are located behind the
Aisne and guns of medium caliber are
northwest of Perles, commanding the
region about Bazoches. Since the fight
began on the Vesle these guns have
steadily pounded the American line,
but the American artillery has been
equally energetic in replying. Com
paratiyely little damage has been done
by the German guns, while the silenc-
ing of enemy gunfire from his lighter
artillery positions is an evidence OF
the accuracy of the American artillery
and the destruction Of various German
machine gun positions has been OBJ
vious

COURT UPHOLDS BURNQUIST
High Body Decides Blooming Prairie
Saloon Case.

st. Paul. Aug 10-Governor Burn
quist cannot be legally considered in
contempt of court because he sent a
unit of the home guard to Blooming
Prairie to close saloons there after
a court in Ramsey county had granted
them permission to run. This was
the decision of the Minnesota state
supreme court. In it's syllabus on the
case the supreme court holds that:
"The trial court is without jurisdic-
tion in proceeding against the relator
Burnquist, since it appears that In
closing the saloon he was in good
faith discharging a constitutional duty,
placed upon him as governor, to take
care that duly enacted law was
faithfully executed.
THAT the same Is true with refer.
ence to the relator Rhinow, since as
adjutant general, he was a proper
agency in the hands of the governor to
aid In discharging his said duty"

Nc More Men Will Be Accepted
Until After Draft Bill
Becomes Law.
TO PROTECT INDUSTRY
Appointment to Officers Train
ing Camps Until Further
Notice is Given.

Washington, Aug. depending dis
position of the bill to extend draft
ages to include all men between Is
and As years, voluntary enlistments
in the army and navy have been sus-
pended completely to prevent disrup-
tion of industry.
Orders were issued by Secretaries
Baker and Daniels directing no volun-
tary enlistments be accepted until
further orders.
The orders also exclude civilians
from appointments to officers training
camps until further notice.
The orders were issued after a con-
ference between Secretaries Baker
and Daniels and were made public
after President Wilson had visited the
offices of both. 1t is not known
whether his visit had to do with the
enlistment situation, but just before
he conferred with the cabinet officers
there was no indication that a step
of such drastic nature was contem-
plated.
It was explained that the view of
the government Is that many or the
older men are indispensable In their
present occupation, but the natural re-
suit of the debate on the draft age
question is certain TO lead to rush
to the recruiting Offices. 1t is regard
ed as essential that men greatly need.
ed at home should be prevented from
rushing into the army under a mis-
taken idea that they are certain to be
drafted anyhow and prefer to join the
service voluntarily
Liberal Exemption Probable.
II was evident that plans for ap-
plying the new draft limitations to
the older men include very careful
classification of each individual to de-
termine his position at home and prob
ably far more liberal construction
of industrial exemption rules than has
heretofore been the case.

London, Aug lot is reported here

Bolsheviki and the Germans that the
Germans shall not advance further into
Russia. Under this arrangement the
Bolsheviki would be able to transfer
troops from the eastern front to be
concentrated against the Czecho-Slo
vaks in the Volga region.
After the occupation of Archange
by the Allies. the Bolsheviki withdrew
across the River Dvina and on Aug
4 were again driven out of their posi-
tions there, chiefly by shell fire, &C
cording to news received. The Allies
have since pushed rapidly southwark
