and to extricate themselves. This means that the allies definitely have settled with the crown prince and have completely neutralized his group of armies. It is stated that he will have all he can do to extricate himself from his present position.
 In the past week the Germans have used more than 30 divisions, of which number 23 were from the general re- serve. The using up of these 23 gen. eral reserve divisions is one of the most satisfactory features of the weeks work, 40 having been exhaust ed in a wholly abortive enterprise and have lost heavily.
 Crown Prince Rupprecht's group of armies in the north on the front from Montdider to the English Channel, however, dispatches from the front state. remains almost intact. Only a efw of them have been used in the o. fensive of the last week, and the most likely strategic effort by the Germans at the present time is U speed up a big offensive by these troops against the British front.

BAKER PUTS ALL
 DRAFT AGE MEN
 OUT 0F BASEBALL
Work or Fight Ruling Made by Secretary of War, Deciding Appeal-Order is tO be Ex- tended, Says Secretary.

Washington, July 9-Professional
 baseball players of draft age must work or fight immediately, and the draft regulations may be changed soon to include theatrical performers and moving picture players and en- ployees among those to seek new jobs or face induction into the army.
 Secretary Baker settled the ques- tion, so far as baseball is concerned, today, in an unqualified decision hold ing the game non-productive occu- patton and saying so far from amend ing the regulations to exempt ball
 players he believed the scope of it's provisions should be so enlarged as to include other classes of persons hwose professional occupation is sole ly that of entertaining" Legitimate theatrical performers were specifi- cally exempted in the original work or fight order of the provost marshal general and a recent ruling placed in this class actors and skilled men em- ployed in producing moving pictures.
 The secretary's decision was given on an appeal in the case of Edward Ainsmith. veteran catcher of the Washington American club, whose de- ferred classification on account of  dependent wife and child recently was revoked by a local draft board. All arguments against the ruling and in favor of a suggestion that the regula- tion should be modified in favor of the national sport, were swept aside by Mir Baker He held that baseball as a business does not differ from other civilian peace time industries which must make sacrifices in the stress of war, and moreover, that it is by no means certain that so many players are of draft age that the or ganization will be disrupted. As to the claim that baseball players, hav Ing devoted IfeIIlSelNeS lo iHe game are not fitted to adequately support their families by labor in other lines, he said this is quite inconceivable, in view of the fact that ball players are men of unusual physical ability, dex- terity and alertness.
 The point that baseball has been accepted as the national sport and is for many workers and business men the only opportunity for wholesome outdoor relaxation, and enjoyment, was treated as a serious one. But the secretary declared times were not normal, htat other means of recrea tion could be found and that the mon productive employment of able-bodied persons, useful in the national de- fense, either as military men or in the industry and commerce of our country, can not be justified"

U. 5. CRUISER Is SUNK OFF COAST
 OF LONG ISLAND
Navy Department Believes No Lives Were Lost as Cruise san Diego Goes DOwn-MiEi~ tary Loss is Slight.

Washington, July 19.-Announc9- ment by the navy department tonigs that the United States armored cruis- CT San Diego had been sunk todd off the Long Island coast indicated that German submarines may again be operating in American waters. Tra cause of the vessels destruction and the casualties that may have resulted were unknown at late hour
 The vessel itself was not regarded as a serious military loss. If she wss victim of enemy submarine, how ever, it is obvious that the boats ara in transport lanes and close to the entrance of New York harbor, for the San Diego went down ten miles soutA- east of Fire Island, which is about ten miles off the south shore of Long Island and about 90 miles east of the entrance of New York harbor. A lighthouse on the island provides a mark for transatlantic shipping in and out of New York.
 Until the statement of survivors definitely establishes that the vessel was sunk by a torpedo, there will te possibility that she struck drifting defense or was sent down by acci- dental internal explosion or other wise.
 The only formal statement issued by the department was based on tha first report. It follows
 "The navy ydepartment has recei ed reports from the third naval di'- trict stating that the U. s. s. San Diego was sunk ten miles southeaet of Fire Island light at 11:30 o'clocA this morning. One officer and two boat crews were landed at life station No. 82 on Long Island Other sur vivors are in boats and four steamers are standing by.
 "So far as can be ascertained thern appears to have been no loss of life. The cause of sinking has not yet been determined. The San Diego was an armored cruiser of 13.680 tons dis placement and carried complement of LILA officers and men"
 Late tonight the navy department v7ould add no+hino to +bis sto+oy,, and officers professed to have no i0- formation as to the cause of the loss or the number of survivors. It w. : apparent, however, that officials we prepared to hear that some lives were lost despite the optimistic tone of tho initial dispatches.

Paris, July 19-More than 100 guns have been captured in the allied at tack on the Aisne- Marne front.
 The success of the Franco American counter offensive has altered the en- tire situation on the Champagne front The whole German line from Chateau Thierry to Rheims. the dispatches from the battle front point out, is de- pendent on the railroads which the French dominate. Supplies for the German forces around Chateau Thier- " must now be carried 20 to 30 miles lv road
 It will be a very serious business for the Germans to remain in this salient according to accounts. They will not only have to discontinue all their plans for the offensive here, but probably will be forced to fall back a considerable distance to a new line where the problem of supplies can be handled easier.
 The German offensive thus has been turned into a repulse. the advices from the front say, and may now be turned definitely into German de feat
