Stout Resistance From Germans

Stout Resistance From Germans
 So rapid has been the British ad- vance in this section they are in the positions they held before the German drive last March. The Germans are offering stout resistance.
 The French are working around the St. Gobain forest north of Soissons in the movement that aims at the out flanking of La Fere and Laon and all the German positions east of this re- zion. They have reached the out skirts of the village of Irvais, on the norther hedge of the. forest and two and a half miles from La Fere while short distance to the north they have taken the village of Nemesis. on the St. Quentin canal. This latter gain brings the French within little more than eight miles from St. Quentin. French Maintain Ground
 North of the Aisne near Soissons the Germans are fighting hard, real
 zing that if the French gain much the move, taken in conjunction with the maneuver in progress around the St. Gobain forest will place the entire German defense line eastward toward Reims in q critical position. Near LaffauX and north of Celles- Sur-Aisne the Germans have delivered strong counter attacks, but the French every where have maintained their ground. | The Germans also are reacting some what south of Ypres especially in the region of Ploegsteert, where the Bri- | tish are threatening the recapture o1 | Armentieres. Counter offensive man euvers here and east of Wulvergher were broken up by the British.

BOSTON, Sept. S.-Showers today made prospects dubious for the fourth game of the world series between the Boston American league champions and the Chicago National pennant win ners. Both teams arrived late tonight
 The Red SoX, with a lead of two games to one, were confident of main taining the clubs prestige of winning every world series they have been en- tered for. As they have been only a mediocre road team this year and have proved themselves almost invincible on their home grounds with anything at stake. their confidence was shared by thousands of supporters.
 No Hooters Greet Teams
 No crowd of Royal Hooters, Boston's S well known baseball cheering organi- zation, greeted the team on its arrival tonight, but for the past week they have been quietly organizing and with a band tomorrow, unless the weather interferes as it did with the opening contest in Chicago. It was reported that "Tessie," the battle frayed chorus in every one of Boston s unbroken string of world series triumphs might be taken out of cam phor for the sake of it's winning pres l tige.

NEW PRIORITY LIST ANNOUNCED BY WAR
 INDUSTRIES BOARD
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Sept. S-A new pri- ority list of industries and plants es- sential to the war or the civil popula- tion was announced today by Chair man Baruch of the war idustries board. It was described as the master key" governing the issuance of priority cer- tificates by the priorities commissioner of the board for fuel supply or cleo trical energy, transportation, material, facilities, capital and labor and as the basis for industrial exemption from the draft.
 "The inclusion of the industries and plants on this preference list" said the announcement, does not operate as an embargo against all others, but the ef- feet is to defer the requirements of all other industries and plants until the requirements of those on the prefer ence list shall have been satisfied"
 Chased According to Importance Industries have been grouped into four classes according to their relative importance. No distinction is made between industries or plants within any one class and it was explained that no significance is to be attached to the order in which they are listed within any class. The industries or plants under class one are of excep- l tional importance.
 Fuel for domestic consump mption-res- idences. apartment houses, restaurants and hotels-is in class one Food, rail- ways operated by the railroad admin istration: the army and navy, aircraft, ships and shipyards, war chemical plants, coal mines and by product coke plants, certain public utilities. ord nance and small arms plants, and am intuition and explosives are also in class one.
 Those Given Priority
 Requirements of those grouped un- der classes two three and four will be gwen priority of those not on the preference list, but as between these three classes, there is no absolute pref erence provided. Relative importance of the industries and plants within each group will be. the basis of opera. tion.
 Each plant listed in the three las classes will be required to file with tn, war industries board before the fit. eenth of each month report of activ. ltles during the preceding month Failure to comply with this order will mean removal from the preference list

Have Not Buried Hatchet

ALBANY. N. Y, Sept S.-Decided coolness existed between the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red SoX as they travelled to Boston today. They did not bury the hatchet on the field, but carried it with them. There was no active trouble, as the players were instructed by their managers to re- main in their own cars.
 Managers Mitchell and Barrow were conservative regarding the outcome of the series. The latter said his team was in a better position, since 1t had an advantage of one game, playing at home and appeared to be the stronger in pitching and hitting. He would not divulge the name of his pitcher for tomorrows game, but it was be- lieved he would start Babe Ruth.
 Manager Mitchell Mysterious
 Mitchell also is resorting to a little strategy. He asserted he had not de- cided on a pitcher but his selection would likely be made from George Ty- Ter. Phil Douglas and Claude Hendrix
 Mitchell and his men profess to be as confident as before the series be- gan. They acknowledge they have not batted heavily, but they believe they will do better on foreign territory, They are not worried about the pitcher for tomorrow and expect Sam Jones to oppose them rather than Ruth.
 Players Share Dwndles
 The players were today indirectly told that owing to the reduced price of tickets and the slim crowds at games they will not receive as much money from the series as had been announced Their share now is a trifle over S53,00C and after tomorrows game they will probably have about $75,O0O, one-half of what was the players share last | fall. This means the players winning the worlds championship will gel about $1,200, while the losers are not likely to get more than $500. Thl: will be the lowest amount ever paid | to players in a world series.
 Otto. Knabe and Heine Wagner, wht clashed under the grandstand in Chi cago during the second game, were requested by Garry Hermann, chair man of the national commission, to re- port to him the details of the en counter. Until their reports are turned in no decision will be made by tn commission.
