MISSOURI IOWA, THURSDAY, IS,

I Delivery Of the drst Of the 1,o16
locomotives ordered By the railroad
administration will start In July, and
deliveries will continue monthly during
the rest Of the year. The locomotives
are Of six standard types. with oas
heavy and one light style in EACH type.
They vary in weight from 2oO, ,eO0
pounds to $4,000 pounds, and the en-
tire order will cost about $50 1000, ,oo0,
The six standard types are expected
to eventually supersede the many.
kinds now In service, which embrace
engines built according to 500 or more
specifications. According to the rail-
road administration, this Is the first
real step ever taken toward the wide
Standardization Of locomotives.
An order has also been placed for
100000 freight cars Of standard type
to cost between $3.50 000. 600 and $780,
100000. Negotiations for the construc-
tion of many thousand additional steel
freight cars are still pending. The Ave
types of cars ordered represent the
standard forms Of freight cars adopted
by the railroad administration.
The adoption Of these standard
types, 1t is believed. will eventually
substitute few scientifically worked
out designs for the numerous miscel-
laneous varieties Of cars, representing
probably more than thousand differ
ent old styles and specifications now
in use, the accumulations Of the past.

MORALES, Ariz., Aug. 2S.-At 2 o'clock this morning everything was dark on both sides Of the line. On the American side all was quiet, but in Mexican NOgales, stretcher parties were busy removing dead and wound ed from the houses. An armistice un- til o'clock this morning has been de claTed and a conference between American ana Mexican officials is to be held upon the arrival of eGneral De Rosey R. Cabell, district command CT, who is expected to reach here from Nogales at a. m.
 Unofficial estimates of the MeXi- can dead and wounded, made by Americans who were in Nogales when the fighting occurred, placed the num- Der at 150.
 In a statement issued shortly after midnight. Captain Absolava, command ing the Mexican garrison, denied that federal soldiers had participated in the lighting. He said the shooting had been done by customs guards and ether civilians.
 This statement was denied by Amer jeans who were marOoned across the line during the fighting. These men said the Mexican soldiers rushed from their barracks and from the Southern Pacific Of Mexico station and fired vol leys toward the American side and were only driven off when the Amer ican cavalry and infantry charged across the line.
 In addition to the officers, ten en- listed men were wounded.

SENATE PASSES NARROWER BILL
 UNANIMOUSLY
Senator Gore Excused From Voting. Added Amendment Work or Fight Clause for Conference
By Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Aug, 27.-The man power bill bringing within the army draft all men from IS to 45 years old was passed late today by the senate, with a modified work or fight clause
 A final amendment by Senator Poin- dexter, to make the minimum age 19 was defeated thirty-two to twenty-one after many minor amendments pro- posed had been defeated. All efforts to change the age limits or to direct separate classification of youths under 21 failed and the measure now goes to conference between the house and senate with no difference for serious controversy except the work or fight provision.
 The senate was recorded unani- mously for the bill Senator Gore of Oklahoma, who cast the only negative vote on the roll call, withdrew it and was excused from voting. There were seventy-five affirmative votes.
 The final vote in the senate was re- corded amid unchecked applause from the galleries. It is expected the mea- sure will add 13,OOO,00O men to the nations military strength and pro- vide the army that will enable the al- lies to defeat Germany next year
 In conference tha differences in the drafts of the bill as passed by the senate and the house are expected to be compromised speedily, and the bill transmitted to President Wilson for his signature late this week.
 Preparations being made by Gen eral Crowder are expected to insure the registration of all men within the ages of IS to 21 and 31 and 45 within a week or ten days after President Wilson signs the bill
 The senate adopted nearly all the provisions desired by the administra- tiOn including the one giving the president authority to establish orders of call.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN FRANCE, Aug. 27, (By the Associated Press, 4:30 p. m.)-The first French army after beating the Germans in their battle positions before Rove, took the town today and now is pur- suing the Germans who are in re- treat on line extending from Hallu to the region south of Rove.
 At 4 o'clock this afternoon General Debeney's men were in the region of HattencouTt from where the line passes just west of Cremery and Gruny by Carpui and to the west of Roiglise and west of Verpillieres.
 The French encircling tactics over came the new German system of de fense by the profuse use of machine guns. Strongly protected and heav- fly armed positions were turned one after the other until the enemy was obliged to abandon the first and then the second line of defenses of 1914, upon which he fell back after being driven out of Montdidier.
 The Germans are now relying on their aviation to protect their retreat. Their airplanes were out in great num- bers today attacking pursuing columns and engaging the French squadrons of observation and pursuit planes.
 The final break in the German sec Ond line came this morning when, aft CT repulsing a counter attack upon St. Mard, the French infantry resumed the offensive. They completely encir- cled Rove and threw the enemy back several miles east of the town.
 In spite of fatigue from the long campaign. General Debeney's men are going ahead with the ardOr and en- thusiasm of fresh troops

MINISTRIES OF MUNITIONS AND
 AVIATION MADE
Benedict C. CroweIl Named to Head Munitions Board; John D. Ryan in Charge of Aeronautics
CBy Review Leased wre)


 WASHINGTON, Aug 27.-Virtual establishment of ministers of muni- tions and aviation, and the appoint. ment of Benedict c. Crowell first as sistant secretary of war and John D. Ryan, chief of the bureau of military aeronautics, as the respective heads was announced today by Secretary Baker.
 While the official statement refers to the appointees as directors of mu- nitions" and director of air service, '' the changes evidently are intended to make separate organizations, each un- der control of one man.
 MT. Ryan assumes the position of second assistant secretary of war, vice Edward R. Stettinius, who is abroad and is to remain in France indefi- nitely as a representative of the war department
 Mir CTOwell has had charge of in- dustrial matters. His designation as director of munitions will mean but slight change from his present work. Additional authority has been delegat- ed him by the latest move.
 Full control of the bureau of mili- tary aeronautics and of the bureau of aircraft production has been given to Mir. Ryan who is authorized to name a new head for the latter organization. He will thus have charge of the pro- duction of airplanes and of the train ing of personnel to nfan them bringing the entire air program under single authority.
 MT Ryan is expected to put into effect immediately changes in organ ization which will result in the CO., ordination of the two bureaus which he will control.

| Everywhere the Germans have lost heavily in men killed or made prisoner and in addition the allied troops again have captured numerous guns. ma chine guns and war stores. The pris- oners taken by the British from last Wednesday tO Monday of the present week aggregated q. 900. In the fight ing Tuesday around St. Mard. west of Rove. the French secured HOO cap tives.
 The Canadian troops are fighting in lively fashion between the Sensee and Scarpe rivers. and to them have fallen numerous German-held villages and many prisoners.
 Bapaume. one of the strategic points over which there has been much heavy fighting. is still held by the Ger mans, but the British are now so nearly around it that possibly few of the enemy remain inside the shell-tOrn town. The, British on the west are on the outskirts of the place. and doubtless it soon will be nipped out of the battle line in the pinceT move ment that is being employed against it.
 In the north the British already are across the upper end of the old Hin denburg line and if their progress con tinues they soon will be able to oper- ate to the east of the line on un- scared ground on which tanks and cavalry can be brought into the fray with good results.
 Behind the lines everywhere French and British airmen are harassing the Germans in retreat. but in this work they are being met by large forces Of enemy airmen who are fighting hard in an endeavor to make secure the re- trograde movement of their foot sol diers.
 On the Vesle front the Americans and Germans are in a rather bitter fight in the towns of Fismette and BazOches. The Americans started the trouble at Bazoches and Germans re- ciprocated with an attack on Fismette. At last accounts the Americans had the upper hand in both places.

BRITISH CONTINUE PROGRAM

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN FRANCE. Aug. 27 (By the Associated Press) Having been still further eX- tended by attacks launched north Of the river Scarpe. the battle today was raging along a field almost 45 miles long. and the British with renewed yig0r were rolling up the BOche be- fore them and sweeping eastward.
 The Hindenburg line has actually been pierced at one place east Of Heninel. and the weaker portion of it. northwest of FOntaine Lez CrOiSilles has been captured and mOpped up.
 During today's fighting the British captured high grounds from which they can overlook the country occupied by the enemy for miles around and have thus attained a great advantage. The Bois Du Sart. one of these places, lies south of the Scarpe and north east of MOnchy Le PreuX and 1t was feared that here the enemy might hold up the advance for a time. It was captured after a short fierce struggle.

WOOL MERCHANT
WORTH MILLION
IS ALIEN ENEMY
(By Associated Press,e

New York, Feb. 25.-Alleged to be
agent in the United States for German
interests which have been seeking to
corner the worlds wool market,
Eugene Schwerdt, a wealthy wool
merchant of New York and Boston,
was arrested here today as an enemy
alien and will be interned.
Schwerdts alleged activities were
disclosed to the federal authorities by
the attorney general of New York
state, Schwerdt's name having ap-
peared in the correspondence of Hugo
Schmidt, banker and alleged paymas-
ter in the Bolo Pasha case, which the
attorney general investigated.
According to Deputy Attorney Gen.
eral Alfred L. Becker, Schwerdt was
in correspondence with H. F. Albert,
former financial agent here for the
German government.
Although claiming to be Belgian
citizen, Schwerdt was in fact born in
Muenster, Germany. He resided in
Belgium, but came to the United
States in 1914 at the time of the Ger
man bombardment of Antwerp.
The plan of Schwerdt and his asso-
ciates, according to the attorney gen.
eral, was to minimize the effects of a
possible British economic embargo
against Germany after the war by
making it possible for her interests in
America to hoard their great stocks of
wool, which it was intended to send

American women should begin at
once to prepare themselves for the
real war work they will have to do
if the war continues. This is the
point emphasized by Miss Helen Fra
ser, distinguished Englishwoman who
lectured on women in War Work"
this afternoon at the Fontenelle for
the benefit of the Duryea war relief.
Miss Fraser served as director in
the British war savings campaign and
will be entertained at dinner tonight
by the Nebraska committee for the
same work.
"The spirit of American women is
wonderful. | am sure they are will
ing to help to the utmost but Of
course the way has not yet been
opened for them. So far your work
has been mostly surgical dressings
and food conservation, but IN England
and France, and even in Italy, women
invaded the industrial world to release
men for service, as we'll as serving
directly behind the lines. Some have
been shelled."
