Paris, August 1.-THE number OF
prisoners taken so far in the Allieo
offensive in Picardy is now estimat-
ed at $4,000, including more than
1000 officers. More than 500 guns
have been captured, according to the
latest advices.
The pivot of the German resist
ance at this stage of the bottle, 1t
now appears, is the town of Noyon,
about midway between Montdidier
and Scissors. The enemy is throw
ing in reserves from this base in an
effort to prevent, regardless of cost,
the Allies from gaining control of
the Noyon- -Hamroad which is choked
with material, guns and troops.
The Germans are expected to make
a desperate stand on Roye-Noyan to
permit the columne which are re-
treating in the direction of Nesle and
Ham to reach safety.
The resistance of the Germans is
stiffening against the fourth British
army under Gen. Re wlinson They
are reacting violently in the region
of Lihons, which chang,d hands
twice during the night but which
yesterday morning was firmly held
by the British.
All the bridges across the Somme
between Peronne and Ham, stretch
of about fifteen miles, have been de-
stroyed by Allied aviators. The Ger
mans have been attempting tothrow
temporary bridges across the stream
and the Allied airmen are now sys-
tematically bombing these improvis-
ed structures.
All the morning reports show ex-
treme confusion among the enemy
forces in their precipitate retreat.
Among the prisoners taken are

This Time British, American and
A Swedish Steamers.
Washington, Aug. 12.-The de.
struction of the British steamer
Pennystone and the Swedish steam
er Sydland by a German submarine
off the New England coast was re-
ported today to the navy department.
The Pennington was sunk yester-
day 100 miles east of Nantucket. The
news of the fate of the crew was not
given in the dispatches. Later the
navy department advised that the
American schooner Herman Winter
had been sunk in the same general
locality.
There is no record here of
schooner of that name. An Amer
can Coastwise steamer named the
Herman Winter is reported safe in
port.

10000 PRISONERS AND 700
GUNS TAKEN BY THE ALLIES
AMERICAN SHIPS so PER
CENT MORE EFFICIENT

Washington, Aug. 12.-Amerlcah
ships have increased fifty per cent
in efficiency, two vessels now doing
the work of three before the war, ac-
cording to transportation records
kept by the Shipping Board. This
increase results from a marine skip
stop system, which includes direct
routing, unification of cargoes, full
loading and reduction of time In
port. ...
This work OF the Shipping Board
is the first in the history of Amefi-
can shipping of centralized organ
izatiOn watching the work of ships,
contrasting their performances and
striving all the time to speed them
up.
Vessels in the coastwise trade are
working with hitherto uneQualled
speed. Two round trips month be-
tween Norfolk and Baltimore and
Boston was considered good service
in the past for vessels in the New
England coal carrying trade. Now
the pace is four trips. The British
recently made the "turn-around" III
five and half days.
Nitrate from Chile and manganese
from Brazil, both in great demand
because of the war, are being
brought to the United States in rec
ord time. Four voyages to Chilean
ports in year was formerly regard
ed as good service, but the Commo-
dore Rollins recently made the turn
around between New York and
Iquique in A days, which included
a stop at Norfolk for a cargo of coal
to the Canal Zone. The Santa Loui-
sa on her maiden voyage established
record of eighteen days before New
York and Valparaiso.
In pre-war days the long voyage
to Rio de Janeiro and back took
three to four months, but now only
S. days is the time according to the
Shipping board standards. The Saga
recently made a round trip from New
York to Rio in SIS days. Wool for
soldiers uniforms is being brought
from Buenos Aires and Montevideo,
the round trip being of 100 days ev-
erage time.
Sailing vessels, before the war
made the round trip to South Ameri-
ca, in six months, but one schooner,
built for the Shipping Board, was
back in New York from a delivery
of a cargo of coal at Buenos Aires in
III days. The George S. Smith, an
other sailing craft in the South Am
erican trade, made the round-trip be-
tween Norfolk and Para in "a days.
Diversion of fast ships from the
Cuban trade to transatlantic service
has handicapped rapid operation be-
tween New York and Cuban ports,
but the Shipping Board records show
the average including time in ports,
to be about 25 days.

COUNTY CLERKS ALSO 2 U-B0ATS ATTACKED
WANT WAGE INCREASE u. S. STEAMSHIP TYLER

Clerks employed in the Offices IN the
County Building are sgitating a salary
increase OF from 500 a month 10 SIPS
a month, but no definite action has been
taken by them IN regards 10 the matter.
Il was expected that a committee, rep
resenting the clerks, would appear be-
fore the meeting OF the Levy Court
this morning. but the question was not
put before the meeting. However, II is
probable that the clerks VIII bring the
question before the court at its session
this afternoon.
President Purks, OF the Levy Court,
has set forth that the salary Of the
clerks employed In the county oflces
are fixed by the Legislature. Should
the clerks make their request Of the
court this afternoon, he stated, he ex-
poets that Frank L. Speakman, attorney
for the court. will advise them b this
effect. He knew nothing about the
court having power 20 allow a bonus
for additional work done by the clerks.
as has been mentioned by some en-
ployes, he declared.
One proposition as discussed was 70
the effect that all the clerks be appoint
ed deputies in the Offices In which they
are employed at the deputies salary OF
$500 year. II is understood. however.
that the Levy Court Commissioners dc
not look with favor upon this proposi-
ton. About 10 clerks are being en-
ployed by the county.
