INCREASE IN SINN
FEN STRENGTH

Dublin, July 29.-Election Of the
chairman of the county councils in
Fl counties show some increase in
Sim Fein strength, but probably not
30 much as many people expected.
All the chairman of the county
councils were members of the Irish
convention, with the exception of
Kerry which declined representation
OF the q chairmen on the Irish con-
vention, 16 signed the majority re-
port and IL signed the minority re-
port. The elections have thus far
displaced only one of the latter, but
new men have been chosen in place
of five of the chairmen who signed
the majority report. The campaign
against them was largely waged on
the ground that the majority report
did not go far enough in the direc-
tion of British self-government.

THEY ARE EXPECTEDTOTAKE THE|RS7AND
BEHIND THE R|VERVESLE ULTIMATELY

play their artillery in force to check
the plunges of the Franco-American
troops. The Americans have played
brilliant part in the advance, which
included the occupation of Sergy on
the north bank Of the river, and a
number of small villages.
The line tonight follows the Ourcq
river to Sergy and to Goussan Court,
the latter place lying about miles
north of the Marine.
The ermans offered bitter resist
ance, but not to compare with that
which began late today for the reten-
sion Of the higher ground further
north of the river. There they sup
plemented their defense with artil-
lery fire reaching over the American
front lines to the supports, the volume
of fire at times attaining enormous
proportions.
Unwavering the Americans held
their ground and even advanced
slightly, while the French on their
sectors to the right and left resisted
as steadily against the vicious efforts
OF the Germans.
From behind the advancing lines
the allied heavy guns kept a contin-
uous bombardment throughout the
day, shelling the German positions
wherever the 4rmen reported troop
concentrations.
Heavy artillery has been used to
some extent by the Germans in their
rear guard actions, but to no such
extent as today, and this gives some
basis for belief that Won Boehn, the
German commander, is preparing to
make stand.
1t is pointed out however, that un-
til the Arde river is reached, all the
advantages of ground are with the
allies. So it is generallybelieved that
the dropping of his heavy guns is
merely an indication that his armies
are being withdrawn with all speed
from a position which is intolerable
and which unless relieved might re-
suit in the disorganization of what
so far has been admirable conducted

PHIL G. KELLY CONVICTED AND
SENTENCED TO FINE AND
IMPRISONMENT

Raleigh, July 29.-The conviction
of Phil G. Kelly, Baltimore liquor
dealer, and his sentence to pay a fine
of $4,000 and to serve six months in
Jail last week, closes another chap
ter in the violation of federal liquor
laws, SO far as North Carolina is
The significant fact about
the Kelly case is that although his
alleged operations covered a good
part fthe South, he was finally
turned up in North Carolina. This
happened as the result of the efforts
of Deputy Collector H. G. Gulley in
the liquor raid at Neuse December
a, 1917.
1t means no little to the record of
Collector Bailey's force in Eastern
North Carolina that Phil G. Kelly
should have met his downfall in this
State, although he had before been
trailed without result by government
agents. His conviction this time on
the charge of conspiracy and other
violations of the federal laws fol-
lowed his plea of guilty.

papers in Baltimore recently were

10000 POUNDS OF SUGAR
SAVED BY COAST GUARD

Washington, July 29.-How coast
guard crews saved $4,000 pounds OF
sugar when a steamer stranded of
the coast of North Carolina is told
in a statement issued here tonight
Iby Secretary Daniels.
The secretary says despite pro-
tests OF federal officials at Elizabeth
City the sugar was being dumped
overheard until the coast guards
men came along and showed how to
salvage the no w1acce asRtH!e. The
statement reads:
Crews from coast guard stations
recently succeeded in saving from a
vessel which went aground $4,000
pounds of sugar which otherwise
wouh have been dumped overheard
and lost.
"A merchant steamer loaded with
cargo of sugar went aground on
the coast of North Carolina. In or
der to float the ship, the wreckers
began dumping bags of sugar over
board, as they had no means of
landing them through the surf.
Deputy Solicitor of Customs Baum,
of Elizabeth City, N. c., protested
against this wsate TO food, but no
means of saving it was found until
the crews from stations Nos 1858,
1853, ITO and III arrived.
Though the sugar was in bags
weighing 500 pounds each, and had
to be hauled for miles along a sandy
beach, the coast guards crews man
aged to accomplish the task and
$500 bags of sugar, $4,000 pounds,
were saver and stored away"

Amsterdam, (By MaiD-What the
Berlin Vorwaerts terms criminal
sapping ofthe nations strength" is
revealed by the returns ofthe Labor
inspectorate for Prussia" for 1917.
These statistics have not appeared
during wartime and socialists have
long and vainly urged their re-issu-
ance. The Prussian board of trade
finally yielded and last years figures
have just been made public. Issued
without text they areeloquent in
themselves as they show increased
use of the labor. of women and chill
dren which, Vorwaerts says, will
exact fearful revenge on the future
race"
Compared with pre-war statistics,
male employees over 16 decreased
from 2,662,152 to 1,956,2O2, but wo-
men employees increased S67,734 to
1,240,593. Employees Ia tolls years
old increased 2S0,148 to 327,904 and
children under IA, 1854 to 6,O12.
In engineering workshops alone
the number of women increased from
51,513 to 327,512.
Cases of infractions of thework-
mems protection act have grown
alarmingly. Blythe emergency law of
1914, employers were granted ex-
emptions which have been scandal
ously abused Cases of exceeding
the 10 hours working"day rule for
women rose from 1859 to 66,10S;
suppression Of the legal luncheon In
terval from 8,7sS to S,3s2; non-ob-
serveance of the prohibition of night
work 727 to '3,39S; and non-observ-
ance Of the prohibition of Juvenile
1872 to 1909.
"The number of official inspec-
tions Of factories notably decreased
| 1t is safe to say" adds vorwaerts,
that law breaking in this respect
has assumed gigantic proportions
and the paper vehemently complains
of the excessive indulgence shown to
employers by the authorities who,
for instance, granted permission for
oyerwork by women to the extent of
23, 1000 hours compared with 49,.

THE ALLIES HANGING ON

THEY RETREAT.

E. 0. S. London, July 29.-The
German retreat is continuing along
the whole line with theal lies in pur-
suit according to the news from the
Rheims salient up to to noon today.
The Germans have succeeded in
checking to certain extent the
drive oft he allies but have not stop
ped the French advance. The French
on the north bank of the Ourcq and
to the east of scissors have control
of the road between Rheims and Dor
amns. The. Germans arestubbornly

ress here. The villages between Sois-
sons and Voches and about IA miles
to theeast ofRh eims are on fire
which leads tot he belief that the
Germans intend tomake further re-
treat.
Sinceye sterday the allies have ad-
yanced about two or three miles on
twenty mile front. The enemy has
definitely abandoned thelin along
the Ourcq and there is little doubt
they will go back to the Kesle river
line about 30 miles between Soissons
and Rheims which is strongly in

The Fighting Yesterday

On the extreme wings of the grad
ually decreasing pocket-near Sois-
sons and Rheims-the enemy, heavi-
ly reinforced, is holding tenaciously
to his ground realizing that success
es there would result in a general
crumbling of his plans of defense
against the locking-up of his entire
armies inside the big bag. In addi-
tion to the large number of troops
fr reinforcement that have been
thrown on thse two sectors, the Ger
man long range guns from the region
north Of Scissors and north and
northeast of Rheims are keeping
both wings of tn salient under hea-
Wy fire.
The retreat of the enemy mas by
no become rout, and so long as the
picked troops around scissors and
Rheims are able to keep we'll open
the mouth of the bag through which
the Germans are falling back it is ex-
pected that the greater portion of the
armies of the Crown Prince will be
successful in reaching in order the
line where 1t is intended for them to
turn and make a stand.
Just where this stand will be made
is problematical. More than half the
pocket has been rcaptured by the
American, French, British and Ital-
ian troops opposing the enemy and
there have as yet been no signs of a
let up in the retrograde movement.
II, as some of the military critics
have suggested, Crown Prince Rup-
precht of Bavaria purposes to start
on offensive against the British In
France and landers as a diversion
against the big battle in progress no
signs of 1t are apparent at present.
What little fighing has been going On
In this region has been in the nature
of patrol raids, in which the British
have taken a number Of prisoners
and machine guns.
The German line is again north of
the Ourcq river, and Fere-En- -Tarde-
nois, which has been entered by
French troops, is at the mercy of the
allies. The tightening of the tanks
holds promise that the retreat will
be continued.
The line along the greater part OF
the bottom of the Soissons-R Rheims

some places as much as five miles.
