Secretary of War Declares Project Not Vital to Win. ming of War and Must
 Wait for the Present

Washington August s1.-(speciaI.) The suspension of work at Muscle Shoals will not be lifted at the pres ent time. After a discussion with Bernard Baruch, chairman of the war industries board, Secretary Baker made formal statement, the following part of which reveals his attitude toward the project and the adniinistration's in : tention thereto:
 Fully realizing the importance of this particular undertaking, I am nevertheless forced to recognize the entire pfopriety of the temporary sus- pension of the work until such time us the war industries board is a5le to allow 1t to proceed without prejudieinu industries vitally concerned in the war programme. Under the cimcumstances. therefore, I have reluctantly been conn pelled to direct the temporary sus- pension of this project, at the same time niinE with the board a request that arrangements be made for an early resumption of work with an ex- pression of anxiety of the department that this be done at the earliest nio- ment."
 Efforts are underway, despite that formal expression, to impress the war industries board with the possible fact that it's action was based on exagxer- ated information. K. F. Bowers of vir- gihia, speaking for the farmers of the United States, is representing the anx-

Summary Of News From All War Fronts and Capitals
By Associated Press

| Mont St. Quentin, dominating Pe- rome and the angle of the Somme river, has been taken by the Austra- Hans, together with Feuliaucourt, ly- | ing to the west. In .this operation, which was in the nature of surprise attack, more than 1900 prisoners were l taken.
 The way is now prepared for the oc- eupation of Peronne and further im- portant advance to the east.
 Simultaneously the French have broken down the resistance of heavy German forces along the Canal Dn Nord and north of Soissons. In the Soissons area they are in complete pos session of Juvigny and Crouy and have reached the western outskirts of Leury.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the allied progress has slowed down some what owing to the endorsements the Germans have rushed to the fore in an endeavor to hold the vital points on their line as long as possible, there has been no cessation of the allied thrusts along the entire S0-mile front and with minor exceptions, these thrusts have been successful.
 KEMEL HILL WON
 A gain ofN great importance in the Lys sector has been made by the Britt ish, who are now in possession of that mhch-fought over ground, Kennel hill
 Fighting desperately to delay the allied forces until the retreating Ger man legions can be extricated from the Sornfne and Santerre battle fields and placed in comparatively safety behind the Hindenburg line, General Ludendorffs armies seem for the time Deingxto have almost checked the Ad- vance of the British, French and Amer jeans.
 At only one point in Ficardy have the Germans been forced to give ground during the past day. This Is just to the north of Peronne, where the Somme river turns to the westward after flowing north along the front Here the British have advanced a con- siderable distance, according to ad- vices from the field, but they have not continued the victorious sweep that marked their progress after the German line had given way southwest of Bapaume.
 In the south, near Soissons, French and Americans are keeping up theif pressure against the German lines which threatens to outflank the enemy positions along the Aisne and Vesle. Further north, the French have made only local gains in their effort to reacl, Coucy- -Le- Chateau and capture the heights which dominate the old Ger man positions along the Chemin Des Danes.
 Westward from the Ailette along the Disc and rorthward to the Somno liver, west of Ham, the French are fighting hard. but their advance Is slow.
 North of the Sofnme battlefield prop CT. the Germans, seeing the danger to their entire army from the inroads of the British across the Hindenburg line east and southeast of Arras have massed men and guns to hold that portion of their front secure. British forces have nearly broken through in ti.at region and the danger to the Ger mans is not yet over.

RETIRING IN FLANDERS

In the Flanders battle area the Ger mans are now rapidly retiring to their lines running near Armentieres from which they stormed late in April. Mont Kennel, southwest of Ypres, has been taken by the British, while Ball. leul. where there was terrific fight ing when the Germans were striving to reach the channel ports, is again in the hands of Field Marshal Haig' $ men.
 Further south the Germans are now east of the Lave river, and the British have taken more ground to tho north east of Bethune As near as it is pos- sible to measure the extent of the Ger- man retirement during the day, it seems that the enemy has abandoned a strip from one to two miles deep over what would be equal to a front of about 12 miles
 From Bapaume south to the Oise the British are now within 10 or 15 miles of the Hindenburg line.
 HERTLING TO QUIT
 Imperial Chancellor Won Hertiing who has held his difficult post since last November is said to be about to re- sign because of his advanced age. It is reported that pr. W. S. Solf, the Ger man colonial secretary, will succeed him. Dr. Solf recently made an in- portant announcement that the dispo- ton of Germany's colonies after the war is of the utmost importance and that Germanys policy must be so shaped that she will retain her for- eign possessions
 Parts of his address were looked upon as yelled suggestion that peace tentatives on the basis of colonial pos sessions might be made. NilxoH LehiHe, the bolshevik premier, Is reported tt, have been wounded by would be-as- sassin. No details are as yet known of Lenine's injuries
 Delayed reports from the far east state that bolshevik forces have been defeated by the allies along the Us- suri river.
