FORCE ABROAD CROWS
American Army Overseas Now
Numbers 1,45O,OOO Men.
Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois Troops,
Comprising Eighty-eighth Division,
Are on Their Way.

Washington, Aug. 20. - The Ameri-
can army now has more than 5000, 900
men under arms and has sent nearly
one-half, or more than 1,450,000 abroad
for service in France, Italy and
Siberia.
These figures were revealed by Gen.
eral March, chief-ofstaff, in his talks
with newspaper men and members of
the Senate military committee.
The senators were told that some
transports are making the trips to
Europe and back in 19 days and that
the average has been reduced to 2S
days, which, with additional Shipping
becoming available, makes the great
Job of getting the total of 80 divisions
of American troops to France by June
80, 1919, certain of success. This
would mean an army of 100000 men
overseas.
The chief of staff paid only brief at
tention to the progress of the fighting
in France, where the situation is de-
veloping slowly. He did characterize
the battle, however, as "the German
retreat" and otherwise indicated that
farther retirement was expected.
General March announced that the
Eighty-eighth division, composed of
Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois troops,
trained at Camp Dodge, was in process
of embarkation.
Senators also were informed that
the Russian situation is serious be-
cause of the general complexity of
affairs there.

TWO VILLAGES TAKEN

Between Carlepont and Fonte-
noy for Nearly Two Miles.

Paris, Aug. 20.-The French are in
the suburbs of Roye. The British are
carrying out a flanking movement
north of the town. Extraordinary ar
tillery fighting is under way in the
whole Roye sector. The Germans, in
a desperate effort to hold the town.
are pouring in fresh divisions which
have been withdrawn from other parts
of the front within the last "a hours.
London, Aug. 20.-Launching what
may be described as an extensive at
tack, the French have broken through
the German positions along the vital
sector connecting the Marne and
Picardy battlefields.
This attack was over a front of ap-
proximately nine miles from near
Carlepont, east of the Disc, to Fon-
tenoy on the Aisne, about six miles
west of Soissons. 1t is officially re-
ported that an advance to an aver
age depth of 1.3 miles was made all
along the front of attack II is re-
ported from London that an extreme
penetration of two miles has been
made.
Two Villages Captured.
The villages of Nampcel and Nouv-
ron-Vingre have been captured and the
French have reached the southern
edge of the ravine at Audignicourt,
which is between Nampcel and Nouv-
ron-Vingre
Since the situation along the Aisne
and Vesle and i'm Picardy has seemed
to be approaching a deadlock, indicat-
ing a return to the old trench warfare
of the first two years of the war, an
attack in the sector between the Aisne
and the Disc has been expected. This
line is vital to the German positions

Two Flank Moves Indicated.
While the front over which the as

with those of the Marne and Picardy

Americans Gain In Vosees.
The situation along the Aisne-Vesle
sector is unchanged The enemy con-
tinues his harassing attacks, using ar
tillery and gas, but the French and
Americans manage to cling to their
bridgeheads north of the Vesle. In the
Vosges American troops have ad-
vanced slightly near Frapelle, which
was captured Saturday. The Germans
have been shelling the village heavily.
Austrian efforts to regain the islet
In the lower Piave taken last week by
the Italians have failed. In a counter
attack the Italians drove the enemy
back and took 80 prisoners. In the
mountain region the artillery has been
active at isolated points.

BAR ASSOCIATION
 YAVAPAI COUNTY
 CONDEMNS L.W.W.
Passes Resolution in Strong Terms Regarding That Or ganization and Those Who Encourage It

The Verde Copper News of Jerome, in it's issue of Thursday, contains the following item under a Prescott date line of the same date:
 The Yavapai County Bar associa- tion has gone on record as being op- posed 10 wobblyism and all that ap- pertains thereto. and it's members will hereafter refuse to associate socially or professionally with any attorney who is affiliated with the I. w. w, or how is prostituting the legal profession by counseling or ad- visine the organization or it's mem bers.'
 "A strong set of resolutions to this effect was unanimously adopted at recent meeting of the association. The resolutions read:
 Whereas, It has been established in countless ways, particularly during the recent trial in Chicago that the I. W. w. both as an organization and its members individually. comprise persons who are thoroughly disloyal and hostile to the United States and are seeking in the most cOntemptible and yenal manner to obstruct war in- 1ustries and destroy war necessities, thereby lending aid and comfort to the wicked and relentless German au- tocracy; and,
 Whereas. The actions, policies and purposes of the l. w. w. have been the same since its organization and were the same, during July of 1917 in Jerome, when law-abiding and rH aff .g state and county were constituted posse of peace officers to enforce and uphold the laws of our country and to protect the dignity of the community. and aid in protecting from intimida- tion loyal and law-abiding organized union men in their employment in the operation of the great copper indus try of the Jerome district; and.
 Whereas, Said citizens did en- force the law of our land by ridding the community of numbers Of I. w. w. and sympathizers, and such act was with the consent and sanction and approval of the body polite of this county and the citizens of this community; and,
 Whereas, It has been held from time immemorial that any person committing crime against society has no standing in court Of law for injuries that may be done to him per sonally while in the commission of Ta'd crime, and in our opinion the plaintiffs in two actions now pending in our superior court, based upon all legged damages which two of these dis turhers of the peace suffered by req son of their criminal action, came within that class, and that their cases are without any semblance of merit or justice; and,

during the past year and as the con- flict proceeds interest is growing and energy and determination growing more apparent He expressed pleas ure at the way Arizona has made good in the features of war work and stat ed that so far as he had been in- formed the copper industry is going forward without any handicap other than the scarcity of labor, which seems to prevail pretty much all over the country. All the companies have given up many of their best men, who have volunteered or been drafted into service.
 Speaking of the recent peace moves Of the enemy MT. Douglas said that he did not expect that any sat isfactory peace could be brought about in the very near future and said that this. of all times, was one when all people should strain their every en- ergy in behalf of the success of the loan drive now on.
 Beckett Goes TO war.
 MT. Douglas said that his assistant, IP. D. Beckett, formerly of Bisbee and Globe, this state, was getting ready when he left New York to enter the service of his country and is perhaps now inducted into the service. Mir. Beckett will be well remembered both at Bisbee and Globe. He entered the ser ice of the Copper Queen at Bis bee a good many years ago and after filling responsible positions with the company there was promoted to be- come general manager of the Old Do- minion at Globe, where he remained for four or five years before being called m higher and to the New York office of the Phelps Dodge corporation to become assistant to fhe president there. He visited Ari- zona recently and was in Douglas for some time during the absence of MT. Thomson. who was i'll on the coast. The many friends of Mir. Beckett in Arizc1a will wish him well during his term of service to his country.
 No Construction Work Now.
 "Mr. Douglas said that in all of the enterprises the Phelps Dodge corpo- ration all manner of construction had been discontinued because of the in ability to secure needed material to carry them. Considerable building yet unfinished at Tyrone in New Mex ico will stand still until after the war. At Bisbee the construction of the con- centrator by the Copper queen branch had been stopped and nothing more would be done there now. Only some grading is being done on the Sacra- mento hill where the ore is to be mined for the new concentrator when

 FOR SHORT TIME
Phelps-Dodge President Will Remain in State Several Weeks and Inspect Com- pany Properties

Walter Douglas, president of the Phelps Dodge corporation, accom- panied by A. T. Thompson, his as- sistant and Robert Rae, general audi tor. drove down from Douglas yester- day and spent the day in the Warren district, and in company with G. H. Dowell, general manager of the Cop per Queen, inspected and discussed improvements and development of the corporation properties here. Further work on the new concentra- tor has been suspended, and this course was necessary, MT. Douglas declared, because of inability to SC cure material during the present stress of the war.
 MT. Douglas drove to Douglas last evening, but expects to return to Bis bee Wednesday. He will remain in the state several weeks and will, in company with MT. Thomson, inspect tho company properties at Morenci, Globe, Tyrone and Nacozari. MT. Douglas has not been in Arizona since last March, having remained in New York during the long illness of his father, and final death, the late Dr. James Douglas, some months ago. Pressure of business and war works kept him at his New York desk up to this time. The president of the Phelps Dodge corporation arrived in Douglas on Saturday night and spent Sunday in the Shelter City. The Douglas International of Monday eve ming had the following article about Mir Douglas and his impressions and views regarding war and industrial conditions at this time:
 "Mr. Douglas stated yesterday that in New York the energies. being put forth in all manner of war work has
