NATHEW VS. REPORTS

Special Consolidation Expert
VIII Make Very Lengthy
Report

While Col ]. M. Matthews Of the
Consolidation Commission is as mum
as a clam as to what will be ineorpor-
ated in the report of that body to be
made to the commissioners next Tues
day, external evidence is almost con-
elusive that the report will cover the
ground thoroughly.
The consolidation experts have been
borrowing stenogfaphers from various
sources for several days past and some
of the fastest and the most expert
from the offices of Corporation Com
missioner Schulderman and Insurance
Commissioner Wells have been dividing
honors in the temporary offices of the
Consolidation Commission, and the IN
ference is that they aave been WORE
ing ON the report which is to be sun
mitted to the commission when it meets
here.
Just for the fun Of i a statstieian
at the State Capitol has figured out
that the girls who have been sharing
the secrets of the experts can at least
hit out 80 words a minute, because

machine. Inasmuch as they have been
trading off they would start in fresh
each day on the work, so so words q
minute is not considered 1ad es!.IJ-
ate. At that rate tnev would write
1890 words an hour, or in round mum
bers $4,000 words a day. For seven
days, which is about the time they
have been working, the report up to
now should aggregate 266,00O words.
If they keep up the same lick through
Saturday and Monday they would bring
the report up to a mere matter OF 275,-
900 words.
The statistician went even further
by figuring out that there are about
1900 words to an average newspaper
column. Using this estimate it is easy
to see that the report would make
quite mess of good reading if it
were printed in full, and turned out
to be as plethorie as would be indicated
by the stenographic work being done
An average issue of the Capital Journal
has So columns Figuring that half
Of this is advertising, 2S columns Of

quently the Journal could print such

Nation Must Hit Hard And Keep Foe Running Is View Of
Chief Of Staff-TaIk Of War Being Over Discouraged
German General And Staff Captured Rainbow Division

Washington, Aug. 10. The time for
America IS greatest effort in the present
war has arrived, Chief Of Staff March
declared today in his talk with ,orre-
spondents.
This country must hit hard and keep
the foe running, he said, indicating that
there win be no relaxation in Foch s
driving tactics He discouraged any talk
of the war being over.
"Thc greatest advantage of the pres
ent military situation, he declared, "ls
that the allies now have the enemy

He added that Americas demand for
greater manpowsr resources is caused
by need for striking the hardest blows
possible from this time on.
German General Captured
Reading a confidential cable regard
ing the allied offensive in picardy,
March disclosed the fact that British
prison camps cannot hold the prisoners
being taken. He confirms the capture Of
u German general and his staff, and
said that in the center of the line, the
allied troops encountered little opposi-
tion.
Situation About Amiens
Discussing the situation created by
the advance east of Amiens, the general
said it had caused new pocket, sim
liar to that on the Soissons- Rheims
line. Its chief peril to the German lines
is the threat to the railroad line of com
munication running south from Chaul.
nes. Over this line the German troops in
the Montdidier section obtained their
supplies. Capture Of this railroad by
the allies would force German re.
tirement along the Montdidier line.
General March indicates that this
railroad is now under heavy fire from
the allies.
On the yesle river front French and
American troops have been nibbling at
the German positions without attempt

Sprung Eagerly To Attack
Like Veterans and Quick
ly Take All Objectves
BY william Philip simms.

(bnlteu freSS starr cOffeSpOnuentJ
With the British armies in France.
Aug l0-(Noon.) + United States
troops got into action in the great bat
tie of Picardy today after waiting in
reserve since the fight began.
They sprang to the attack side by
side with Britons, eager to be on their
way They took their baptism of fire
| like veterans, storming desperately
defended positions north of the Somme.
Fifty minutes after the commencement
of the attack the whole series of i'm
portant obiectives was secure in A.
meriean and British hands.
The allies are nearing the Somme
crossing south of Peronne (l3. miles
southeast of Albert). The Germans are
retreating everywhere from near Albert
to the region of Montdidier, which
seems doomed. The bottom of the rap
idly narrowing pocket is now over
thirty miles long and is lengthening
hourly.
The allies stormed and took Chipilly
spur and Morlancourt advancing east
ward along the ridge between the
Somme and the Ancre.
Canadians and Australians captured
Bouchoire, six miles from Roye, and
also took Folies, Beaufort, Warvillers,
Vrely, Rosieres, Meharicourt and part
Of Rouvroy and LhoAs. The latter is
less than two miles west of Chaulnes.
They captured a divisional headquar-
tiers and it is believed the complete
staff was taken prisoner Their pat
rolls pushed into Proyart and Raine-
court. They advanced their lines on an
average of three miles in brilliant
fighting.
l predict that today will see total
of 10000 prisoners in this drive. The
German losses in killed, wounded and
prisoners must be at least 80 per cent
of the total of their forces engaged.
About 800 guns have been captured, in
cludng two 90 inch pieces and other
material of all descriptions
Airmen continue to harass the dis
organized enemy whose confusion be
hind the lines as he retreats is hides
cribable, while allied artillery is
pounding him everywhere.
