 RlNE CORPS.
SEEKS TO AVERT 4 CRUSH
No More Civilians of Draft Age Will Be Accepted for Officers Train ing Camps, Says Secretary
 of War Baker.

WaShington.-Nolu enlistments in the army. navy and marine corps were suspended completely to prevent disruption of industry pending disposi- tion of the bill proposing to extend draft ages to include all men between IS and 45 years. Orders were issued by Secretaries Baker and Daniels di- be accepted hereafter, until further or ders. ''A
 An order suspending further civilian volunteering for officers training camps was signed by the secretary of war. No more applications from ci- williams for admission to the camps will be accepted by the war department, the order says, until the legislation af- fecting draft ages now before congress is disposed of.
 Orders were issued after confer ence between Baker and Daniels and were made public after President Will son had visited the offices of both sec retaries late in the day. Ii Is not had 10 do with the enlistment situa- tion, but juts before he conferred with the cabinet officers there was no indi- cation that such a drastic step was contemplated.
 It was explained that the view of the government Is that many of the older men are indispensable in their present occupations. but the natural result of the debate on the draftages question Is certain to lead to a rush 10 the re- cruiting offices.

WOULD CURB THE PACKERS
POINTS WAY TO BREAK UP BIG
 TRUST.
to Pass Necessary Leg islation.

Shington.-Moying to break the power of the so-called packers trust" the federal trade commission has rec commended to President Wilson that the railroad administration be given a monopoly in transportation and distri- button of meats.
 The report of the commission, made public by President Wilson, urges that the far-reaching packer influence on American business can be emasculat- ed by transferring from the packers to the railroad administration the follow ing:
 All stock yards in the country all so-called branch houses of the packers, used in the distribution of meats; all stock cars and refrigerator cars now owned by the packers and all icing plants located along the railroads throughout the country.
 This would leave the packers the lone business of slaught ering and skin ming. Through control of the transpor- tation. branch houses. storage houses and warehouses of the packers the rail. road administration would break the alleged priorities the packers trust" grants it's members now in all phases of the business. Incidentally the con- trol of refrigerator cars constitutes side swipe at the California canners' trust"
 The federal trade commission, in its report to the president-made ct his written request last year-leaves 1t up to congress to pass the necessary leg islation which will enable the railroad administration to take over the pack ers' facilities.

36,0GO GERMANS AND
 5OO GUNS CAPTURED
DEFENSE IS STlFFENiNG ALL ALONG BATTLE FRONT FROM
 NOYON TO CHAUlNES.
MANY OFFICERS CAPTURED
Germans Are Reactina Violently in Region of Lihons, Which Changed Hands Twice During Night
 Now Held By the British.

Paris. = The Germans are holding the Chaulnes- Roye-Novon line, but the allies are making progress south of Noyon. The enemy's reserves arc coming into action and the defense is stiffening all along the battle front from Noyon to Chaulnes.
 Desperate fighting Is going on be- tween the British army of General Rawlinson and the German army of von Der Marwitz. The enemy IS counter-attacking sayagely west of Noyon and seems determined to hold the town at all costs.
 The number of prisoners taken so far in the allied offensive in Picardy is now estimated at 36,000 including more than 1000 officers. More than 500 guns have been captured, accord ing to tl.e latest advices.
 The pivot of the German resistance at this stage of the battle, it now appears, is the town of Noyon about midway between Montdidier and Sois- son. The enemy is throwing in re serves from this base in an effort to prevent, regardless of cost, the al lies from gaining control of the Noy- on-Ham road, which is choked with material, guns and troops.
 The Germans are expected to make a desperate stand on the Roye-Noyon line to permit the columns which are retreating in the direction of Nesle and Ham to reach safety.
 The resistance of the Germans Is stiffenng against the Fourth British army under General RaWlinson. They are reaeting violently in the region of Lihons. which changed hands twice during the night, but which this morn ing was firmly held by the British.
 All the bridges across the Somme between Peronne and Ham. a stretcn of about fifteen miles, have been de- stroyed by allied aviators. The Ger mans have been attempting to throw temporary bridges across the stream and the allied airmen are now sys- tematicalIy bombing these improvised structures.
 All the morning reports show ex- treme confusion among the enemy forces in their precipitate retreat. Among the prisoners taken are gen. erals, colonels and officers of all grades. Eleven divisions of Generals von Hutier and von Marwitz have been identified by prisoners taken.
