RESERVES HOLD LINE.
Germans Have Frssh Troops IN Hin.
denburp Oefenses.

With the British Army in France
Sept. le-There are indications that
when the retiring Germans reach the
Hindenburg line they will pass thru
fresh enemy corps and divisions, to
whom the defenses have been en-
trusted.
In such tactics is found one Of the
reasons why the German command
has been putting formations back into
active fighting after they had once
been withdrawn because oS being
temporarily exhausted. There is evil
dence that the Hindenburg. line is al
ready being manned by troops who
have not appeared in the fighting SO
Ear
In the area over which the recent
advance has been, made, from one end
Of the British front to the other
many ''booby" traps have been en-
countered and rendered ineffective;
mines have been found under dug
outs and in dilapidated houses to
which time fuses had been attached.
Germans War.Weary.
The effect Of the continuous fight

~ shown bS- the case Of prisoners
from the Second Guards division. The
men first captured from the Regiment
Franz were distinctly war weary. Re-
Gently. however. and after further
fighting. prisoners have been taken
from the Regiment Alexander and Regi-
ment Augusta, who have not only ex-
hibited the greatest pleasure at being
captured but actually urged the British
to go on attacking and take as many
Germans as possible. 30 as to end the
war quickly.
AS, each fresh baton Of prisoners
arrived at the cages, the Germans
previously captured chsered the Brit
ISL success.
Some idea cf just what the aver
age intelligent German soldier thinks
o. the war now may be cleaned from,
a letter written Aug. 20 by a nom
commissioned officer to a brother in
the ranks:
IT had to 10 retreat thru Galicia in
1916 and know well enough what it
means. It is perfectly obvious that
you have had heavy casualties from
retirement OF the kind you have been
making, but t can not be helped. You
must be glad 10 be resting now, but
you won't be allowed that satisfaction
long. for lot o. men and material are
needed now and there isn't much OF
either.

5000 'Waaes' Recruited to Take
Places of Non -Combatants


Places Of Non-combatants.
London. Sept 1I.-Eager TO work
hand IN hand with Uncle SANS SOL
diers in France, British girls have
quickly leaped 10 the front in answer
to the call Of General Pershing for -
900 women recruits for service with
the Americap army.
From all over Great Britain applica-
tons have poured in at the rate Of 200
day. The recruiting campaign has
gone over the top" with a rush.
It's the lure Of the American uni
form. Sammy IS the apple of the
English maids eye. This in a measure
explains the whole-hearted response to
our call for volunteers"
This was the opinion expressed by
Mrs. ]. Pyke in an interview with
Universal Service. She conducted the
recruiting campaign In England for
the British 'Waacs' ywomen's army

These girls will take the place OF
their less fortunate sisters in Amer
tea, who can not come to France to
work with the soldiers because o: the
difficulties OF transport.
II is said a squad Of Wac" instruc-
tors may be sent over to America at
the request OF the United States gov
eminent later when transportation
facilities have been improved.
Miss Hilda Horniblow has been ap-
pointed chief controller Of the "Waacs"
with the Americans. They will be
paid by the American government, but
will be under her supervision.
Already about $50 'Waacs' have
been working with great success for
more than two months with the Amer

Detective headquarters force and the
considerably less expansive vest of

Both the detective chief and his
star assistant were wearing for the

Garfield Says Winter Sup

By gibson GARDNER.

Fuel Director Garfield Is much en-
couraged over the coal situation. II
production keeps UP at the present
rate he says the problem will be
solved. There will be no coal fam
inc next winter.
But don't fail to order your winter
coal now. That is the Fuel Admins
tration's present and urgent advice.

diets Garfield. before the snow flies.
For the first time in two years coal
is being mined in satisfying quanti-
ties. The month ending June Is saw
the biggest run of soft coal ever
taken from American mines. 1t came
to 12,6oe,0O0 tons. The week before
it showed 12.4Z7.0O0 tons and the week
after showed 12.0o3,o0o tons and
the week ending June . showed a
yield Of 12.45s,O00 tons.
The estimate of fuel experts put
the total requirement of soft coal
for year at 635.000. .Oc0o tons. With
the mines turning out coal at an aver
age of 12,5oo.o0o tons a week it is
evident that this total would be
reached with small margin to spare.
Hard Goals Part.
Hard coal plays a smaller part
in the nations industries and the
work Of the Fuel Administration.

duced In seven counties in Penn
sylvania. 1t has been found possible
to stimulate hard coal production only
about 5 per cent and this increase
IL only about enough to take care
Of the increased population in the
Eastern States. So an order has
been issued against shipping any
hard coal west OF the Mississippi
River and against sending any con-
siderable amount OF hard coal into
the Middle West
The big problem is to get a win

into New England before the snow
