Wilson Decides Societies
Doing Welfare Work Shall
Conduct Joint Campaign

Washington, Sept. 4.-President
Wilson has decided that the seven
recognized societies doing welfare
work among the American soldiers
at home and overseas shall conduct a
joint campaign for the funds neces-
sary to carry on their work during
the coming year.
The presidents decision was COM
municated to Chairman Raymond D.
Fosdyck of the commission on train
ing camp activity, who in making pub
lie the presidents letter tonight an
nounced that the campaign would be
conducted during the week beginning
November II, and that the American
people would be asked to give $i70,-
100000 to the organizations.
1T was evident from the first, and
has become increasingly evident"
said the presidents letter to Mr.. Fos-
dyck, "that the services rendered BY
these agencies to our army and to
our allies are essentially one and all

Decisive Blow FoCh
Is Preparing.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Announce-
ment today by General March that
more than 100000 American troops
had been embarked for all fronts up
to August 81 furnished a new mea-
sure of the forces Marshal Foch has
at his disposal with which to follow
up the victorioes already won on the
western front. r.
Included in the American ship
ments are men sent to Italy and
Siberia, the arrival of Major General
Graves, American general, at Vladi-
yostok with nearly l,400 men of the
forces dispatched direct from the
United States having been announced
today by General March. The total
number of men sent elsewhere than
to France, however, is less than TO-
600, leaving more than 100000
American troops available for the
use of the supreme commander in
the great battle.
The size of this American force
becomes increasingly important as
the scope of the new British assault
at the very center of the German
line on the Douai- Cambria front be-
comes apparent. In the opinion of
army officials the breakdown of the
German lines on this front may
prove the entering wedge for allied
successes of sweeping nature.
Britons Smash Hindenburg Line.
In his mid-week conference with
newspaper correspondents, General
March reviewed the battle situation
OF the last three or four days, not
ing particularly that the British in
the most impressive phase of the
matte east of Arras had smashed
their way across the Hindenburg line
on an eight-mile front with Cambria
as their objective. The major enemy
resistance along the whole 60-mile
battle front from the Scarpe to the
Oise, he said, had been encountered
and overcome by the British and the
swift advance of the French troops
last week, when they gained five or
six miles on a 25-mile front in a
single day, was due largely to with
drawal forced upon the enemy in the
north.
General March pointed out as in
dicating the rapidity with which the
battle front is shifting under the
steady drive of the allied armies that
the British had pressed ahead IA
miles since they launched their at
tack on August Il.
Even as General March talked,
word came from the battle front that
the enemy had been hurled still fur
ther back along the Douai- Cambrai
line and indicating the British early
today stood within five miles of this

Visiting Nurses Net
$9,0OO,on Their Tag
Day Sales Yesterday

Directors of the Visiting Nurse as
sociation surpassed their expecta-
tons in the large sum they received
for their efforts yesterday on Tag
day. It is expected the total will
reach $4,000.
The amount reported last night
was $8,923 with several more sales
men to hear from, so that they are
confident of reaching the $4,000 mark.
The amount collected last year was
5000.
Mrs. Margaret Hynes, president of
the association, made the following
statement:
"The Visiting Nurse association

progress on rising ground to the east.
Further north New Zealand divi-
sions have taken Ruyaulcourt and
reached the northern outskirts of
Havrincourt wood east of the canal
line. Other divisions gained the west
bank of the canal opposite Demicourt,

Withdraw from Vesle.
With the American Army on the
Vesle Front, Sept. A German with
drawal from the Vesle has begun.
Combat patrols of Americans and
French are close on their heels to
the west of Bazoches and eastward
to a point beyond Fismes.
Smart machine gun resistance is
being encountered. By all indica-
tions the Germans have withdrawn
their main bodies to the north, pos
sibly preparatory to crossing the
Aisne.
Light forces of Americans have adj
vanced their lines some distance north
of the Vesle.
Continue Furnishing Fire.
1t became more apparent today that
the Germans had given up the strug-
gle to maintain foothold north of
the Vesle. American and French
artillery continued their furnishing
fire over all area extending to
the Aisne without bringing
reply that could be compared in in

The advanced American detach-
ments were confronted with the same
sort of machine gun fire that the Ger
mans have used in all other cases
recently to hold off the opposing
forces while making good their retreat.

of the local federal investigation bu-

While the city police were rushing

agents hurried from the building and
made two raids on I. w. w. head

The explosion wrecked the en-

were given prison sentences a few
days ago, is on the sixth floor of the

William D. ("Big Bill") Haywood,
"uncrowned king" of the I. w. w,
was in the building at the time of the
explosion. With his lawyer he was
planning to seek writ of error to
stay the execution of the 20-year
prison sentence given him.
He deplored the outrage and ad
mitted he thought the |. w. w. would
be blamed, but denied emphatically
that any member of the organization
had committed the act.
Haywood Feels Tremble.
Haywood plainly felt the building
tremble with the detonation of the
bomb and heard the glass crash in
the dome OF the structure and the
cries of the injured. He appeared
calm and did not leave the deputy
marshal's Office. 1T is unfortunate
that this thing happened at this time,"
he said feelingly, 81 know that the
l. w. w. will be blamed but I am
convinced in my own heart that no

F0CH'S TACTICS FORCE
WITHDRAWAL OF ENEMY

The Germans are now giving
ground over the entire l50-mile bat
tlefront from Ypres to Rheims.
Seemingly the question whether the
Germans will be able to hold even
relatively their present line from
Flanders to Champagne is being an
swered. And the answer apparently is
negative.
Marshal Foch's strategy which i'm
posed on the Germans the necessity
of falling back in Flanders, Artois
and Picardy is compelling the enc
my to withdraw from the Vesle be-
tween Scissors and Rheims north
ward toward the Aisne.
Position Precarious.
Outfanked on all defensive works
along the western part of the battle
line and in greater danger of turn
ing movement eastward from the re-
5gions of Noyon and Soissons, the
German high command has been
forced to begin the retrogade move
ment in the Soissons-Rheims sector
Military experts long ago predicted
his would be necessitated by the

Is along the Vesle eliminated when
Ae French swept away the portion of
Aife old salient in the region of Noyon

their task of regaining as their first
objectives St. Quentin, Cambria, Lille

Lens additional towns have been re-
captured and the old salient more
nearly reclaimed.
Lens Evacuated.
Lens, the famous coal city, is said to
have been entirely evacuated by the
Germans, and the British are only
awaiting the dissipation of the nox-
ious gases and the rendering of the
city safe from the possibility of the
detonation of mines in the subterran-
can coal chambers to enter it.

English, Scotch, Welsh. Canadian and
Australian troops everywhere are har-

Eastward of the old Drocourt-
Queant line the enemy has been
pushed across to the east of the
Canal Du Nord, where at last ac-
counts he was endeavoring to pre-
vent the British advance by machine
gun fire.

Paris, Sept. 4.-General Humbert's
Third army has been fighting a des-
perate battle for the past two days
northeast of Noyon along the line
of the Canal Du Nord in the neigh
borhood of Campaigne and Genvry.
The determination of the French
troops eventually overcame the pow
ertul resistance of the enemy, who
early today began to give way along
the entire front.
The Germans had resolved to hold
on here and had fortified the canal
in the most formidable manner with
great fields of barbed wire, cemented
shelters and defense systems brist-
ling with machine guns hidden be-
hind enormous logs.
The enemy machine gunners had
received orders to hold at all costs
and die at their posts, rather than
give ground. In many instances they
did so and the advance of the French
had to be made literally foot by
foot.
The French had brought great
array of artillery to bear on the
woods and villages fronting them.
The enemy guns were also extremely
active and counter-attacks were fre-
quent.
The object of the French maneuver
was to attain the northern border
of the hilly mass formed by Autre-
eourt wood, thus menacing Guiscard.
When the German line began to give
way the French cavalry joined in the
action and early this morning reached
the farm of ST. Martin, on the road
between Noyon and Guiscard. The
infantry advanced to a front rum
ming through Salincy. Bourbeteuse
and eastward through Tarlefesse,
