Paris, Nov. 20.-French troops, un-

cred itself today for another Jump
into evacuated territory.
The line was unchanged In accord
ance with plan, the march has been
halted for a short time, while the
heavier artillery, supply service and
ether elements can be brought up
However, General Dickman's head
quarters were moved on to Longuyon
tonight and corps and division com
manders made similar advances
Vigilance Never Relaxed.
As the Germans withdraw the con-
centration of the army Of occupation
is increased, and not for a moment
has vigilance been relaxed. All pos
sible tactical advantage is carefully
taken and the forces are so deplOyed
that the peace march might easily, in
the presence OF the enemy, be convert
ed into hostile operation
The second day Of the advance
served to confirm the belief at the
American headquarters, however, that
there was no thought Of treaehery in
the minds of the German general staff
and that the terms of the armistice
viii be faithfully carried out
There have been a few isolated
cases where surrendered materials
have been damaged, but it is not
thought such damage was wrought
under orders Of German commanders
The. surrender OF damaged airplanes
at the airdrome in Tellancourt is re-
garded as a case where individual aYi-

Consider Employing
Chinese In America

The Salem Commercial club has un.
der consideration the matter of taking
action favoring proposition whereby
100000 Chinese shall be permitted to
come to this country under three to
five year contracts.
II has been pointed out that fully
1000 men have left Marion county and
probably as many moro viii find work
in the ship yards and in other occu-
pations in the large cities with the re-
suit that the labor channels have been
exhausted
In favoring the admission into this
country of 50 many Chinese, it il
thought their services could be profit
ably used as laborers on the farms
and in the development Of new lands
and in road building and in much OF
the labor that the average American
will not do. The French have found the
Chinese Of use in road building and
by some it is thought they could be Of
service here.
A meeting of the members Of the
club will be called at an early date
to discuss the proposition and to gath
er information ON the subject and TO
also get expressions Of opinion. Should
the club officially favor the admission
of Chinese into this country, it would
draw up resolutions asking the sena.

Each of the three put the argument
IN the ground that the proposed step

Both Baker and Daniels admitted
there had been leakage in important

Postmaster General Burleson who
clearly indicated that he expects the

sage. Telling Of Ships
Movements

London, July 1.-Two hundred and
thirty four members of the crew and
medical complement of the Canadian
hospital ship L'andovery Castle, tor.
pedoed and sunk Thursday, were still
missing early today. Patrol boats and
destroyers are securing the adjacent
waters in search of possible survivors.
Stories Of the "a survivors indicate
that German spies, working in the
United States and Canada, have tele-
graphic or wireless communication
with Berlin. The commander of the
German submarine accused Captain
Sylvester, master of Llandovery Cas-
tie, with carrying eight American avi-
ators. In reality, eight medical Off
GERS were booked to sail, but one can
eelled his passage at the last moment.
The survivors believe the U-boat tor
pedoed the hospital ship deliberately
on information from America transmit
ted since the ship sailed.
While the survivors were clinging to
RATS, the submarine plowed through
the wreckage tipping over the RATS
and Gfeboats, throwing the victims
into the water. The U-boat commander
afterward explained he was searching
"for the American flight officers"
which he believed, or simulated to be-
lieve, were on board.
One of those subsequently rescued,
q Canadian sergeant major, was in a
boat containing twelve women nurses
which capsized. 1t is. believed all were
lost, as none reappeared.
When the sergeant major was res
cued he was dazed as the result of his
treatment. Seeing the submarine come
alongside, he thought 1t was a Brit
ish craft and climbed aboard A Ger
man sailor picked him up and threw
him bodily into liteboat.

Kay Asks Questions
On Wood Contract
Withycombe Dodges
SAYS He Has PardOned So Many COnHcts There Are Not
Enough Left to Cut the Wood He Has Contracted Sump-
age FOr-COsts More to Cut Wood With Prison Than
with Free LabOr-Asylm Fuel Supply Is Endangered

At meeting of the state board Of
control yesterday afternoon, State
Treasurer Kay wanted to know why il
will cost as much to get out cordwood
for the state institutions with convict
labor as it does with free labor. He re-
ceived no satisfactory answer either
from Governor Withycombe or Warden
Murphy of the penitentiary.
A special meeting of the board was
held to consider the muddle in which
the penitentiary officials have gotten
themselves in connection with wood
contracts.
Because of the inability of the pen.
itentary, apparently due to lack of eff
ficient management, to live up to agree
ments made by Warden Murphy, Su.
perintendent Steiner of the Oregon
state hospital has been in hot water
for fear he would not have enough fuel
on hand to run his institution through
the winter.
AS naeans of furnishing employ
ment to convicts, the governor and
Warden Murphy sought contracts to
cut wood for the asylum which uses
1000 or 5000 cords year. The state
entered into two contracts for stump
age, one providing for stumpage on
the Smith place, on the Pratum road,
and the other for stumpage on the
Porter Place, near Aumsville.

Loss OF POSITIONS
Main Highway for Supplies Is
Now Dominated by
Americans
BY J. w. 7. Mason

New York, July 2-The brilliant
American advance west of Chateau
Thierry last night has destroyed Cha
teau-Thierry's usefulness to the Ger
mans as a supply center for Won Hin
denburg's army of the Marne.
The capture of Vaux puts American
artillery within a range of two miles
of the Chatoau-Thierry railway sta
tion. This is the most important ter
minus the Germans hitherto have pos
sessed for their line of communiea-
tions running from the Marine to the
Aisne. 1t will be impossible for Hin
denburg hereafter to use this station.
The Americans now dominate it COM
pletely.
Chateau-Thierry's own safety is SER
iously menaced by the American ad-
vance. The German positions at Vaux
were exceptionally strong, because
Vaux guards the main highway run
ming into Chateau-Thierry from the
west. The Americans now control this
road. The capture of Hill 204 which APP
parently has been made by united
Franco American forces, doubly as
sures the safety of the Americans on
the Vaux road. Hill 2O4 is midway be-
tween Vaux and ateau-Thierry, dom
mating the yaux road from the south
ern flank.
There are no remaining strongholds
protecting Ghateau-Thierry from the
west. The defense of Chateau-Thierry
