Pershing Reports Notable Success"
Washington, May 20. American
troops have occupied German trench
sector inficting heavy losses on the
enemy and taking some prisoners,
General Pershing cabled the war de-
partment in his official communique.
The communicate follows:
"In Picardy the enemy, after VIC
lent bombardment with high explo-
sives and gas, attacked our positions
in three detachments. In two places,
they penetrated small portions of our
line. Shortly afterward, our troops
counter attacked, expelled the Ger
mans at all points and occupied parts
of the German trenches. Heavy loss
es were inflicted on the enemy and
s~ne prisoners were taken. Our casu-
alties are light. Our troops displayed
a fine offensive spirit at all times and
have achieved a notable success.
During the early hours of the
morning in the Woevre, hostile force,
supported by violent artillery fire. at
tempted a raid upon our lines. This
force. which was composed of three
officers and about 100 men, equipped
with light machine guns, blew up our
wires and attempted to capture por-
tons of our trenches. They were COM
pletely repulsed by our infantry and
our artillery, leaving one officer and
four men dead in our trenches and one
wounded prisoner in our hands: FIT
teen or twenty dead were observed
near our wires and ten stretchers
were seen being carried from this
point. Here also our losses appeared
to have been relatively slight.
I'm Lorraine, the enemy was unusu-
ally active in bombarding our trenches
with gas and in patrolling. On one
occasion the patrolling party ap-
preached our lines with cries of 'ka-
1nerad.' and our troops replied with
life fire. One of the hostile detach-

80 PLANES PASS
OVER THIS CITY
SingIy and in Formations They
Are Watched by Hundreds
in Spectacular FLIGHTS.

Aeroplanes flying over this city and
Staten Island yesterday attracted con-
siderable attention from young ano
old who gazed skyward as the big
planes passed by.
Thirty machines were counted dur
ing the day going east and west. The
first ones were seen in the morning
passing over the southern part OF
Staten Island headed down the New
Jersey coast. In the afternoon there
were nine counted passing over Stat
en- Island and this city from 2:So
o'clock until o'clock.
There were four in a line stretched
across the sky bound west at one
time, All were up a considerable dis
tance.
In the afternoon from 4:30 o'clock
until 5:35 o'clock six Of them returned
and passed east, while an hour after
at $50 o'clock another passed going
west. While these were passing early
in the afternoon a hydro-aeroplane
out from Keyport was flying over
Raritan Bay to add to the attraction.
Each day as the aero mail planes
go back and forth across the section
from Mineola to Philadelphia people
stop in their work to gaze at the avi-
ators as they pass on their way.

ficulties in getting a maximum out
put of anthracite which now exist by
reason Of the reduction in the pre-
war working force from $4,000 to
about 144,00O, were submitted to Sec
retary Baker through the federal fuel
administration. Upon the representa-
tons made he said the recruiting,
which had started in the Shamokin
region, should be stopped.
Pledge cards. which earnest mine
workers started ten days ago to circu-
late among their fellows. are already
showing their value. At every mint
where they have been used, 1t is noted
that the average absenteeism has ap-
preciably decreased, with the result
that the men, as body. are working
much more nearly 100 per cent time.
There is still a wide gap, however,
between the nominal forty eight hours
per week per man and the actual
time made.
Statistics 60 to show that the war
calls upon the anthracite army Of
workers have had the effect of bring
ing down the average effectiveness Of
the whole body of labor engaged in
the highly essential anthracite indus
try This is partly because a largo
number of men, new to the work,
have come in, partly because there Is
an abnormallv large shifting In the
labor force, but chiefly owing to the
fact that the largest drain has been
from men between twenty and thirty
one years, who, in the natural order
of things, are physically capable of
the most sustained and effective work.

The port commission has planned 10

ent time acting also as consulting en-
gineer for the State Board Of Com
merce and Navigation, and the state
comptroller has also held up his salary
for this office until the matter can pc

be Incompatible for the engineer TO

same time.
The close of the year will find the
governors emergency fund, which Is
administered by the state house COM
mission, in an unusually good shape.

$4,000 to cover the expense of last
years motor tags: $4,000 for piping
at the Trenton state hospital. and : D.
900 for ammunition for the use of the

The establishment of this emer-
gency fund of $250.000 for special
calls for money from different state
activities was done In lieu OF the sup
Elemental appropriation bill. which
was formerly passed annually by the
legislature, and ranged anywhere. In
its total, from 100000 to S1,000.000.
In deciding on the emergency fund

ceeded in reducing this item of state

bill to $250.000. OF the money spent
this year, $208.000. $4,000 will be

POLITICS HUM ON
. GOVERNORS 8 DAY
Stokes Still Silent on Candi-
dacy--FIorance Undecided
on Running Again.
81 Special CorresDorrene.

TRENTON, June 26:-"Governor's
brought forth considerable political
discussion for so early in the coming
campaign.
Among those who came here on one
business or another, who have been in
the Hmelight recently IN relation to
the United States senatorial situation,
were Governor Edge and George l..
Record, Republican aspirants, and
Assemblyman Alexander Simpson of
Hudson, who was leader of the last
Democratic minority of the lower
branch of the legislature.
There was also rumor floating
about the corridors that former Gov
crnor Stokes had declared that either
he or Vice-Chancellor Vivian M.
Lewis of Paterson, would enter the
Republican primaries. The former
governor was communicated with on
the subject, but refused to confirm the
story as serious statement from
him.
II will not say positively that did
not make any such statement" was
the comment OF Mr.. Stokes, but If
did 1 must have been joking with
somebody"
The development of the days ac-
tivitdes of most interest was the init
nation gained from former State
Senator James A. c. johnson of Ber-
gen county, that there might be some
truth in the story that he Is to be the
organization candidate for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination.
! Have you anything to say about
the matter" he was asked.
mot yet" was the reply. but 1 am
consid ering it. I consider 1t great
compliment to be mentioned in this
connection. and in view of the impor-
tance of the office 1t would not be
proper to refuse to give It fun con-
sideration."
johnson was senator from Bergen
county In 1913. and became acting
president of the senate when James
f. Fielder became acting governor.
following Governor Wilson's removal
to Washington as president.
Governor Edge and Alexander
Simpson met in the corridor and
shook hands.
How is my worthy opponent?"
said the governor.
Mr.. Simpson, talking with the re-
porters, took exception to the action
of Frank McDermitt in including him
self IN McDermitt's challenge to
George L. Record for Joint debate.
Simpson said he was not a party to
the plans.
The Democratic floor leader said
that he heard that the Organization
leaders were urging the nomination OF
former state Senator Hennessey. OF
Bergen county. as thier candidate for
the Democratic nomination at the
primaries for United States senator.
State Senator Emerson l.. richards.
of Atlantic county. when asked about
the fight for the senate presidency,
| declared:
There Is no fight. If there are fif-
teen Republican senators I will have
! twelve Of the votes. There Is nothing
to this talk of contest. and I don't
, know where they get It,"
State Senator William E. FIorance,
; of Middlesex a Democrat. when asked
! whether he would be a candidate for
reelection this fall asserted that he
: had not as yet decided this question.

Stop Recruiting Of Coal
Operators; Due to Shortage

Recruiting among the anthracite
mine workers for volunteers, which
was started at the end of last week
in the region about Sham okin was,
today, brought to the attention of Sec
retary OF War Baker. who stated that
he would have it stopped. Such re-
cruiting, 1t is reported. has been
planned for other sections of the an
thracite region. 1t is apart from the
draft and makes just that much moro
drain upon the already greatly re-
duced labor forces available for the
mining and preparation of anthracite.
Such facts. plus the very grave diff
