ted Mine Workers of America received
this answer from the fuel administra-

quest for a flat increase in wages in
lieu of the payment of bonuses, They
were also told drastic steps would be
taken to stop the bonus system.
Bonuses Are an Evil,
Bonuses were characterized by Mr..
Garfield as IAN evil" He announced
that the first action toward forcing
the abandonment Of the practice
would be a reduction of 20 cents in
the Cambridge and Hooking fields of
Ohio and a reduction of five cents a
ton in all other Ohio fields excepting
the eighth district.
The Ohio field, officials of the ad-
rninistration said. was the heart Of
the bonus practice which has led to
the dissatisfaction among the miners.
Dr. Garfield recalled to Mr.. Hayes

they had ratified the so-called Wash

wage increase granted them last Oc-

The Fact That They Have Not

as to Whereabouts.

Washington Aug 93.-Alost mn-
varying success described in today's $
dispatches telling of the great allied
offensive on the fifty mile front
stretching from Soissons northward
to the environs of Arras raised hopes
in military circles here for the most
severe defeat yet administered to the
Germans. Observers were of the opin-
fon that General Foch's whiting tac-
tics of the past six weeks have been
SO effective that opportunity has come
for a glorious harvest.
Absence of any mention of Amer
lean troops in the descriptions of the
great fight led to interested specula-
ton as to the whereabouts of General
Pershfng's thirty divisions, which ac-
cording to recent announcement are to
be included in the first American field
army. That practically all of these
units have completed the training for
which they were brigaded with the
French and British has been known
for some time. 1t has been thought
considerable number of Americans
still are with the British third and
fourth armies and most military of.
ficers were at loss to understand
why they had not been identified in
the capture of some of the important
enemy positions overrun during the
day, Recent evidence of the mettle
OF Pershing's forces made it certain
u was believed. that if American div
isions were with the allied troops
their locality tonight would be at the
apes OF the advance.
Some advanced the theory the
movement of American divisions to
the sector assigned to the first Amer.
lean army is under way. Concentra.
ton at this time Of the United States
divisions on the alI-America front,
when the forward movement of the
more northern armies promises so
much might mean General Foch has
assigned to Pershing some important
task closely linked with the major
strategy.
