RECONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS TOLD
 BY MIR. BARUCH
tcentinued from PaEe onel


 be decided as to what branch of the government will handle the matter of allocating tonnage. The. war trade board and the shipping board, have the matter under consideration.
 Available for the agencies that will decide these problems is the vast res ervoir of live statistics, accumulated from all departments and all sources of information, and compiled in order ly and accessible manner under the auspices of the statistical branch of the war industries board. There need be on that account no groping in the dark, for the statistics are within a week of actual timeliness.
 With regard to the steel situation. the steel manufacturers are anxious that some means be devised whereby the railroad administration may be empowered to place orders for cars. rails and other equipment. This they desire in preference to the system ex- isting whereby even though the di- rector general of railroads must pass on all orders for such equipment. the say as to whether the orders shall be placed at all is one for the individual roads to decide. At present it is up to the railroads to come forward and place their orders.
 Concerning the labor situation. there is reason for the utmost conf dence that 1t will be adjusted with out difficulty and without loss to the workers. Labor should continue to be we'll paid. Out of the better under standing existing between capital and labor as a result of the war will come higher participation by labor in the fruits of its toll.

CiaI Statement That I'VE Are
Everywhere in Our New Posi-
ton" -Hun Guns Active

LONDON. Sept 9.-The statement
in me German communique that we are
every where in our new positions is in
terpreted here as implying that Gen
eral Ludendorff is of the belief that the
German retirement is now ended and
that it is mis- intention to try and make
a stand on the present line.
1t is reported from Paris that the
German artillery today was laundering
along the whole battle front as lit has
not done FOR several weeks, and the
general indications are that the Ger
man counter attacks and other activity
confirm General Ludendorff's supposed
intention.
No. belief. however, is expressed here
but that the allies are still holding the
initiative and will compel the enemy TO
continue his retirement 1t is pointed
out that although the Germans are still
holding the Messines ridge forming the
northern bulwark of their line, the
French seem to be steadily maneuvering
them from before the Laon-La Fere po-
sitions and st. Gobain forest, which
form the southern buttress of the Hin
denburg line, and there are no indica-
lions of any cessation Of this pressure.

AMERICAN ARTILLERY
|. FIRES ON GERMANS
ON AISNE HEIGHTS
Fortified Height and Bridges
Behind the Germans Are
Subjected to Heavy Bonn
bardment of Guns

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. 9.-American artillery
has opened a heavy bombaTdment of La
height which rises 250 feet at the point
where the German line leaves the Aisne
and dips toward Rheims.
This height is the key position to the
enemy front in that region. 1t is fur
rowed with a strong trench system, and
its slopes and crest are defended with
thick belts of barbed wire. American
batteries including many six-inch guns
are hurting hundreds of shells into the
slopes and onto the crest, ripping up
wires. searching out deeply indented,
wooded ravines infested with machine
guns which command the valleys on each
side, battering the trenches to ruins
and generally making the mountain
stronghold most unhealthy for the Ger
mans.
The constant thunder of six-inch
guns was rolling over the battlefield as
the American artillery dashed the
heights with a terrific hail OF shells.
German batteries -behinde the Aisne re-
piled. bombarding Fismes and the back
areas, dropping high explosives hap
hazard over miles of country in their
search for our gun positions.
simultaneously, the American artil-
lerv with wonderful accuracy was
smashing the Aisne bridges behind the
Germans who are still on the southern
bank of the the river. AS this was
cabled, five bridges had been torn up.
The enemys line from the Aisne
southeastward across the crests of the
plateaus toward Rheims is much the
same as it was on Saturday. The Ger
mans early today were holding the tops
Of the tabielands. 1t is mainly the
strength of lie Petite MontaSne-now
being battered-which has slowed up
the American advance toward the AIsne
on the right of our line. IA few more
prisoners have been taken, including
Eve who hid out for the purpose of sur
rendering when our troops reached their
places of concealment. One was accom-
panied by a trained messenger dog.

'FOCH DIGGING NEW
POCKET FOR GERMANS
Another Retreat Imminent if
La Fere Falls to the
French

NEW YORK, Sept. 9-Von linden
burg has partly Strengthened the salient
in his front west of st. Quentin and
Marshal Foch is now engaged in digging
the pocket deeper than it was before by
driving against La Fere, fifteen miles
south of st. Quentin.
. If La Fere falls to the allies. a
threat to encircle St. Quentin from the
south will begin to develop This will
necessitate a resumption of Won Hin
denburg's retreat from the Somme all
the way to st. Quentin and eventually
beyond. Only a decision by the Ger
mans to move up the entire length of
the Hindenburg line can Justify their
retirement beyond La Fere. La Fere
is a powerful fortress of the second
class. constructed by the French as one
of a series for the outermost defense of
Paris
1t has served the Germans admira by
as a pivot for the Hindenburg line. No
other position so well fitted to with
stand the shock of a turning point in
the front exists between La Fere and
the Belgian front. If the Germans in
tend to keep to the present formation
Of their west front, they would be com
PEELED to cling to La Fere with the ut
most tenacity Instead of this, they
are reported to be setting fire 10 the
fortress.
When Marshal Foch Is in possession
of La Fere, not only the German line

man positions along the Aisne, will be-
Sin to fall into dangerous wedge forma-
lions. This means that a new retire
ment before the American pressure
north of Vesle will be enforced upon

self against double attacks from the
flank and rear simultaneously with
American frontal assaults.

The presence of General Hines in the
