Is Belief of Officials at Washington Who Say
 Huns are Crushed
BOCHE'S ARMY CAN'T
 STAND THE PRESSURE
ll2,OC0 Prisoners Taken Since July l, States Gen
 eral March

Washington, Aug 2S.-Develop- ments on the western battle front dur ing the next forty eight hours should determine the fate of the much-yaun- ted 'Hindenburg line,' in the opinion of some military officials here.
 With the strength of the line al- ready materially impaired by the Brit 1sh wedge driven around it's left flank and even more telling blows threat enlng by the steady advance of the French through Nesle towards the Somme and by the breast of Arras. observers here believed that scheme Of defense popularly held in Germany to be the bulwark of the western front is ill a fair way to become un- tenable before the main Teuton forces have been driven back to it.
 The impression prevailing in mili- tary circles here is that General Foch's tactics have forced upon the enemy the necessity of making every effort along the present front to stay the allied advanct without the option of Withdrawing "unnoticed" to pre- viously selected line.
 For mQre than six weeks they point
 
 been under ceastless pressure, which during the last ten days has been so great as to necessitate a practically unchecked retreat on a sixty mile front.
 In Artillery Zone.
 This withdrawal on tht part of the Germans while not precipitate, has been swift enough to bring their main concentration within the zone of all lied artillery fire with a consequent eff fort on the morals of the tnemy's men and on this every attempt to organize an effective ersistance.
 The longer the tactics of the past week are kept up army officers de- clare, the more difficult will be the attempt of the German general staff to stop them.
 In view of these facts, the prevail ing opinion here is that German re- sistance will stiffen within the next few hours and nard fought engage ments will ensue upon the results of which will rest lnomentous possibili- ties. ,s.
 112,O0O Captured.
 Prisoners taken by the allied armies since July 1, General March chief of staff said today, total more than 112,- 300 while 1900 guns of heavy caliIber, field pieces and larger, were captured in the same period.
 It was understood that General March's figures included only prison CTS passing through detention camps up to the beginning of the present week.
 Captures reporte by the British and French since then have averaged more than three thousand a day, which would bring the total to date to more than 130,000.
 This would represent loss to the enemy of four complete divisions and. if the moderate estimate of one to two be assumed for other casualties, a total of twelve German divisions has been put out of the fighting.

Only Essential
 Industries Will
 Receive Money
Government Will Loan to Prime War Manufacturinrers if
 They Need Help.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-GOvernment financial aid is available under cer- tain conditions to industries in the process Of conversion from less es sential production to manufacture of materials contributing to prosecuting of the war, officials of the war fin ance corporation today explained.
 This was prompted by reports that many manufacturing concerns are threatened with bankruptcy or entire suspension during the war because they have insufficient funds to per- init changes in their plants or pro- cesses necessary to transform them into essential industries. Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the war indus tries board announced today that cur tailments of less essential industries would become increasingly stringent as the war progressed and that con- -sequently the question of government financial aid for industries under con- version promises to take on added importance.
 He indicated he was anxious, how ever, to minimize the difficulty for these industries and to prevent their wrecking or suspension for the war.
 Mir. Baruch explained that the new industrial preference list now under preparation by the war industries board, will carry in sixty four groups the prime essential industries, rated according to their war needs.
 This grouping of preferred indus tries will be used by draft boards to guide them in ruling on deferred classifications of employees.

GERMAN REPORT.

General Von Below's army hvas again engaged in heavy fighting yes- terday, the center of gravity of the British attack being south of the Scarpe.
 By employing masses of tanks and English and Canadian infantry, the enemy again attempted to affect a break through on both sides the mili- tary road between Arras and Cam brai.
 Our troops, fighting on. the line run ming from Pelves east of Monchy, ana Crossilles-P -Pomeranian, west Prussian Hessian and Alsatian regiments broke the enemy's thrust, which was deliv- cred early in the morning with enor- nous superiority in men and material after bitter lighting immediately east of ePlves and near Vis-En-Ar- tois and Croisilles.
 In cooperation with Wurtemburg 7battaliOns, they caused the enemy's attacks, which were carried forward in the afternoon with fresh forces in deep formation against the military road to collapse.
 "On both sides of Bapaume the force of the enemy's attack was less than on previous days.
 ''The British. who advanced several times on both sides of the town. in surprise attacks, with artillery pre- paration, but without bringing tanks into the action, were driven back ev-l anywhere.
 North of the Somme the British di-E verted violent attacks against our new lines between FlerS and Curlu.
 We repulsed them and in counter attack we captured Flers and Iongue- val, where the enemy had temporar- lily penetrated. South of the Somme the enemy's partial thrust broke down.
 Between the Somme and the Oise we withdrew our lines a distance from the enemy, thus giving up to him without fighting the heaps of ruins of Chaulnes and Rove. Owing to our successful defense the enemy has been forced to discon- tinue his attacks on this front since Aug. 20. 1s| "This has rendered it possible to carry out movements without diffi- culty; they have beer accomplished undisturbed during the last few nights.

 'These are all machines that can be made in quantity. Contrary to supopsition we are us- ing many American designers of re- putation."
 Orville Wright, Glenn Curtiss, Glen Martin and other prominent airplane designers and manufacturers were assisting on the new models, MT. Ry- an said.
 Italians Brought Here.
 within week the Pomilio Broth CTS, an Italian family of airplane de- signers have been brought to this country" he said, and are established at Indianapolis with about 30 people.
 "They have been successful design CTS and builders in Italy,"
 ':We are not afraid of what we can accomplish" he said, "but we are not going to make xny promises or predictions.
 q would not say that we are meet ing the need at the front. because the need on the front has never been met, not only as far as the American army is concerned, but it has never ben met as far as any army IS con- cerned."

MAN.POWER BILL GOES TO WILSON
 FOR SIGNATURE
Is Enacted By Congress and Senate Broadening Draft
 Age Limits
SENATE AND CONGRESS
 ADJUST DIFFERENCES
Elimination of Work or Fight Order Paved Way
 For Its Passage

Washington, Aug. 28-Enactment by congress and transmission to President Wilson tomorrow of the manpjower bill broadening the army draft age limits to include men of IS to 45 years of age, appeared assured late today, when the senate and house ccnferees unexpectedly reached a complete agreement on all important discussion reaching out the senates "work or fight amendment
 Adoption of the conferees' agreement by both senate and house immediately after they re-convene at noon tomor- row was regarded by the conferees as a certainty.
 Only disposal of two minor amend ments and drafting of the formal agreement remain to be done tomor- row before the assembling of the two houses.
 Elimination Paved Way.
 Elimination of the "work or fight" amendment, on which the senate con- ferees yielded, paved the way for the virtual agreement on the measure.
 Some complaint is expected from the senate majority favoring the "work or fight" clause, which organ ized labor representatives have vigor- ously opposed, and the house voted down.
 Free Education for Soldiers.
 In disposing of other differences between the senate and house bills, the conferees adopted the house plan for government education of soldiers which authorizes their detail for inn mediate technical and separate train ing under plans already made.
 The senate managers yielded on this difference and agreed to elimination of the senate amendment guaranteeing free education for soldiers and sailors after the war up to maximum period of two years:
 No Re- e-Classification.
 The conferees struck from the bill the house amendment authorizing re- classification of deferred classes by special examiners of the provost mar shal general, and also eliminated the senate legislation requested by Gener- al Crowder, authorizing transfer with in states of draft board members. Another amendment struck out was the so-called "co-belligerent" or "alien stacker" amendment, which proposed that citizens of the allies in this coun. try should not be exempted or giver deferred classification solely because of their alien citizenship, unless so pro. vided by treaty.
 Marriage Won't Disqualify. The house managers accepted the senate amendment providing that wives of soldiers and sailors shall mol be disqualified for government posi- tions because of marriage. Disposition of the work or fight amendment adopted yesterday by tht senate forty to twenty nine, consum | ed most of today's conference, the senate managers holding out strongly and long for the provision but final ly yielding.
 Grouping of new draft registrants under the pending man power bill in to three general classes including those between 19 and 21, 31 and 36 and from 36 to 45, as proposed by the Provost Marshal General it was explained officially today is not in tended to be used for the deferment lof calling any one of these classes in to service.

was stated is to facilitate classifica- tion and make men quickly available to meet draft calls. The only defer ment contemplated by the war de- partment is that fthe 1919 year men whose summons to the colors will be postponed as long as is possible to carry out the educational program now being arranged.
 Recruits imemdiately necessary to organize additional units will be drawn from men in class one between ages of 19 and 45 until this reservoir has been exhausted, but it is fore seen that these men may be used up in some local districts before they are in others. In such localities, those be- tween IS and 19 will be summoned at once.
