BATTLE TURNS IN
 FAVOR OF ALLIES
GERMAN MACHINE WHICH IT IN. TENDED TO CRUSH ALLIED
 LINE EXHAUSTED.

New York-With the passing of the thirteenth day of the new battle Of the Somme there came increasing evi- dence that the great German machine with which it was intended to crush the allied line has almost utterly spent itself.
 Where previously the Germans had thrown men into the fray, not count ing the prodigious wastage in killed and wounded, saw them decline to give battle anywhere. In what little fighting occurred the British and French troops took the initiative.
 Thus it seems apparent, with the reserve forces of the entente practi- cally intact and with the added weight General Pershing's troops will give them, the turn in the tide of the bat tie is at hand.
 While admittedly both the French and British armies have suffered rath- CT severe losses as they stood valiant ly to tl4eir task of impending the Ger mans and making them pay an un'
  gained, their reserves have been coll served with the utmost care behind the lines for the fateful time when the whitening fire of the allied guns and machine guns should have so blighted the German hordes as 10 bring them more equally in strength to the fighting forces. The British and French commanders have been de- pending on the Americans, exceeding 100000 men, who are fully trained and equipped and eager to fight.
 The daily estimates of the German losses in men killed or wounded con tinue to increase as details are ob- tained from the captured Germans. Some divisions lost as high as 70 per cent of their men as they charged in mass formation against the British and French machine gunners and rifle men. Companies withdrew from the fighting reduced to 40 men.
 Bad weather again is hindering op- erations in the Italian theater, bur nevertheless. there has been consider able patrol activity in the mountain region and artillery duels of some vio- lence over che whole front from Lake Garde to the Adriatie. At several points in the mountains Austro-Ger- man troops endeavored to gain ad- vantages over the Italians, but were driven back

NO NEWS OF AMERICANS
Movement Of Troops in France ls Screened Completely Behind Rigid Censorship Imposed By General
 John J. Pershng.

Washington. development of the second phase of the German drive in Picardy was watched closely. Army officers believe that the critical point of the great struggle k rapidly ap- preaching Meager official reports gave little information, though it seemed evident that the Germans were trying to force foothold in stra- tegic positions before Amiens and at the same time 10 increase pressure against the junction point between the French and British armies.
 The War Department again had nothing to add to official reports from London and Paris on the battle. The department is forging ahead with it's efforts to speed additional American forces across the water The first in- crement of the second draft to be sum- moned this month will be 150,000 men instead of 50,000, as previously S00,000 drafted men to be called to the colors this year The remaining 650,- 900 will be called out in monthly in- crements, the size of which will de- pend to some extent upon availabil- ity of shipping to transport men al ready in training to the front
 Movement of American troops in France is screened rapidly behind the rigid censorship imposed by General Pershing Press dispatches give no hint of the whereabouts of the forces last reported as hastening through France to the front by train and mo tor truck and afoot.
 Accounts of American movements published in England have indicated that the most seasoned veterans Of General Pershing's army, the men of the first expedition, are included in the units sent into the battle in Pi cardy. The message said that Amert can regulars were to bear the brunt of the first entry of the forces from the United States.
 With the increased menace against Amiens, developing through the Ger man pressure in the Albert region, of ficers recalled hopefully the calm con fidence with which General Foch, su- preme commander, has asserted that the town will not fall into German hands His utterance. they felt cer- tain, was based not on assumption that the line would hold as it now runs, but upon additional precautions he has taken to protect this rail cen ter. They believe strong reserve forces are massed behind the actual fighting lines or that a countermoye- ment will be started if the pressure becomes dangerous. So far the allies have not been compelled to resort to this use of their reserves and their ad- ditional forces are waiting an oppor- tunity to start a far-reaching attack.

 He blamed steel shortage. which her said continues.
 Astounded al Baldwin's statement the committee directed its chairman Senator Fletcher of Florida, to call orss President Wilson in company wills. shipping board officials. The principal request of the deiega- tion is to be that an absolute priority both of manufacture and of transpor- taIIon. be given to steel intended for shipbuilding until the crisis is past Baldwin said other yards were nearly as short of material with which TO construct ships as his own.
 What is the cause of this?" asked Senator Fletcher.
 Lack of one central authority" re- piled Baldwin. "In my priatve bust ness, if something goes wrong. ] caR put my finger on the man to blame In government business. We run around in a circle"
 .'i cite that answer" declared Sena- tor Nelson of Minnesota. "as proof ot the Senate's duty to pass the Over man bill"
 Baldwin declared the Hog IslanG yard had become a model industrial establishment, capable of turning our ships faster than anyone imagined. He said this was one reason it was. hard to get material
