Reserves Of Allies
0utnumber Foes.

London, August For the
first time this year the num-
Der of allied reserves is great
er than that of the Germans, il is
learned today. The latter's total
of 2oI divisions, however, presents
a numerical superiority over the
allies. Crown Prince Ruppreeht
has now only twenty Unused di-
visions
The determined resistance Of
the Germans indicates to most
military critics here that the
crown prince means to hold his
present lines, despite the fact that
they are entirely unfavorable, es-
pecially as regards oommunica-
tions. All the bridges across the
Aisne, between scissors and
Rheims, including the sole rail-
way bridge at Missy least of
Soissons), are being constantly
bombed by allied fliers, while the
chief junction points, Bazoches
and fismes, are under lombard
ment, the latter by the Ameri-
cans.
Retirement PrObabbIe.
The Germans, military observers
point out, have only eight highways
left feeding their armies within the
pocket and their communications are
insufficient to maintain a large num-
ber OF troops. They are expected TO
retire at their own time behind the
Vesle or Aisne.

Substantial Progress
In New Attack. ,

Paris. Aug. 1.-The fnaI phase ot
the crushing in Of the German salient
below the Vesle River was ushered
in early today by a vigorous Franco
American attack on a ten-mile front
between Buzancy -four miles south
OF Scissors and the region OF Sever
ings). the village north Of Fere-en-
Tardenois. Details are still lacking,
but substantial progress is reported
TO have been made along the whole
Of the attacking front.
Hill 36, to the east of Grand Rczoy,
is said to be in the allies nands,
which means an important step for
ward In the direction Of Fismes, on
the VesIe. which is now Foch's main
objective. From this height the cita-
del of Fismes is visible with the
naked eye.
Gramaille. a village some three
miles northwest of Fismes is also
unofficially reported as captured.
and the whole of Meuniere wood,
the edge of which was taken by the
Americans yesterday. is said TO be
in their hands late today.
The operation now under way IL
designed to turn the lower half OF
the German right between Scissors
and Fere-en-Tardenois. Succes
would automatically force the Ger
mans to give up their horizontal
line between -Tardenois and
Ville-en-Tardenois and might also
compel an abandonment of their
left. To prevent this latter con-
tingency. the Germans reacted en-
ergetically along the front south
west of Rheims today. concentrate
ing their thrusts in the region OF
Bligny. They failed, however. to
make any impression upon the al
lied lines there. though fierce fight
ing ragged for hours. Later Il was
even reported that the allies on
their own part made new headway
in the Bligny region toward the
Rheims road.

NEW CABINET
MINISTER FOR
AERONAUTICS
Senator New Has Bill Great
ing Separate Federal
Department.

Senator New. of Indiana, intro
duced a bill today to create the De-
partment of Aeronautics under the
direction of a Cabinet officer to be
known as the Secretary of Aeronau.
tics, with authority over all the air
craft activities of the government.
The new department, under the.
terms of the bill. would go out of
existence one year after the end
of the war.
The introduction of Senator News
bill brings to a head the agitation
which has been brewing in the Sem
for the creation of a department to
assume entire control over the air
craft situation. Senator New is
has been investigating the airplane
situation.
Secretary Daniels recently de-
clared himself against the propo-
sition OF disturbing the present
management of the aircraft prob
lem by the Army and Navy heads.
1t is understood that Secretary
Baker is likewise opposed.
The Text.
The text of Senator News bill
follows:
Section l. That there is hereby
created for the period of the present
war and for one year thereafter an
executive department of the govern
ment Of the United States to be known
as the Department of Aeronautics,
the head OF which shall be designated
the Secretary of Aeronautics and who
shall be appointed by the President
and confirmed by the Senate. He
shall be a member of the Cabinet
and shall receive a salary of $1,000
per year. The Secretary of Aero
nautics shall have direct and COM
plete control of all matters pertaining
to the designing, purchase, manufac-
ture and production of aircraft and

DANIELS SAYS SUBS

Exert Determining Influence.

THE German submarine has ceased
to exist as determinative factor in
the war;" declared Secretary Daniels
yesterday.
In view of the ultra-conservative
expressions of Mr.. Daniels up to this
time it is believed that the latest
advices which he has received from
Admiral Sims bear out conclusions
recently voiced by allied naval chiefs.
American naval officers pointed out,
however, that it is to be expected
that future raids will be attempted
of the American coast and that some
losses will be met in European
waters. 1t Is stated that all American
transports are now under heavier
convoy than ever before, owing to
warships recently placed in the serv-
ice by the Navy Department.

FRANCIS HAS REACHED
MURMANSK COAST?
Ambassador May Stay at Kola,
., State Dispatches Indicate.

From facts contained in a cable
gram from Ambassador Francis re-
ceived at the tate Department yes
terdag, 1t is believed that. in COM
pany with allied diplomats, he has
reached the Murmansk coast. The
cablegram was sent from Randall
aska, Russian Lapland. and stated
that. with other officials. he was
at once for the Murmansk
coast. 1t was dated July 80.
Officials here inclined to the
opinion that Mr.. Francis will not
leave Russia, but will establish
headquarters at the Kola naval sta
tion, where he will be under the
protection of American sailors and
marines. Once established at Kola,
1t will be possible for Ambassador
Francis to send detailed reports of
the political and military conditions
in Russia.

SMALL PERCENT
REPORTED As
DEFICIENT"

WASHINGTON, March lin his
report on the operation of the selec-
tive-serFiee act the provost marshal
general says:
The seiective-service law, authorized
the President to exclude or discharge
the morally deficient" This was de
/ fined by the Presidents regulation to
include persons convicted and sen.
fenced Tor felony in any court of rec
ord; thus conforming to the general
rule forbidding such enlistments (U. s.
Rev. Stat, sec 111S).
the total number of such persons,
2,06i was gratifyingly small.
Boards Differ in Opinions
On this subject there is a pronounc-
ed difference of opinion among the
boards. A considerable majority of
the boards believe that the morally
deficient should be held for service,
ID because it is not fair to others to
discharge them, and (2) because the
discipline of the army and the oppor-
tunity to prove their usefulness to
their country would be of benefit to
them. The dissenting minority EN-
phasizes the danger to the moral tone
of the army if moral detectives are ad-
mitted. A number of boards say they
should be held, but assigned to special
service or organized in separate units.
The reports of the boards disclose
considerable uncertainty as to the
meaning Of the words morally de-
ffcient" The Presidents regulation,
above cited, explicitly excluded a GER
tain class, but left to the boards dis
cretions the further application of the
terms Of the statute. Such use OF To-
cal discretion seems to afford the
best solution.
In the case of persons already under
arrest or on bail on charges of crime
there was no uniformity of action
few boards discharged persons of this
class; larger number held them if
the prosecuting attorney was willing
to discontinue the prosecution; some
reported them on Form AGA ('failed
to appear some discharged them
temporarily, pending the outcome OF
the prosecution; many simply certi
fled then for service.
The commonest Practice.
The most common practice, appar
entity was to certify for service those
charged with misdeamonrs. but tc
postpone or temporarily discharge
those charged with felony. In many
cases it appears that the civil author
titles consented to the action of the
board in holding men for service.
