NO BREATHING SPELL
BRITISH TAKE TOWN OF ALBERT, KEYSTONE OF GERMAN DE- TENSE NORTH OF soMME WHILE AMERICANS ENTER BAT TIE LINE AROUND BRAY

UNDATED WAR LEAD, BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. The German battle line in France is still crumbling under the impetus of the attacks of the British and French.
 From the region of Soissons around the curve in the front of the vicinity of Lassigny the enemy has been visit ed with further heavy defeats. while farther north between the SOmme riv- CT at Bray to the south of Arras. Field Marshal Haig's men have con tinued their victorious thrusts. The allies captured a large number of addi- tiOnal towns and vantage points which in the further prosecution of the Of- fensive are of the utmost strategic value
 Nowhere is the enemy being permit ted to pause for breath. The armies of Haig. Mangin and Humbert are press ing their advantage with a strength that brooks no denial of their efforts.
 ThAlsands of prisoners. numerous guns and machine guns and large stores of war supplies have been add ed to the stores already in allied hands. To the British alone in the past two-days of fighting have come more than 5000 prisoners.
 In a new offensive begun by Haig from the north of the SOmme to AL bert an advance of two miles eastward already has been made over the six mile front. In this fighting the town of Albert on the Ancre, the keystone of the German defense protecting the Germans north of the SOmme. has been taken. Here the British made 14OO Germans prisoner. The Anore river to the south of Albert was cross ed by the British in their drive. thus forming a serious menace to the en- emy around Bray. where at last re- ports the Americans were in the battle line.
 Desperate resistance has been offer ed to the further eastward advance of the British in the sector immedi- ately south of Arras. where the i'm pOrtant railroad town of Bapaume seems to be the immediate objective Particularly heavy fighting occurred at Achiet-Le-GTand. but although the town changed hands numerous times. the vantage belonged 10 the British at last accounts. Further important penetratiOns of the enemy line had occurred and the British were operat- ing well to the east of the Bapaume- Arras railway.
 Under the further progress of the French armies from the vicinity of Lassigny to SOissons a mighty wedge seemingly has been driven in between the armies of General Von Boehm and the German crown prince Over the entire front the Germans have been further pushed back. at some dis tances from two to three miles. and

CHAUNY WAY MENACED
MANGIN'S FORCES ADVANCED SEVEN MILES DURING NIGHT, YESTERDAY MORNING PRESSED ENEMY so HARD THAT THEIR RETREAT BECAME RoUT

WITE THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE. Aug. % CBy the Associated Press) aftenoon.-The retreat of the Germans before both the third and tenth French armies continues today with increased speed over a large part of the battle front and in some cases in disorder
 General M2ngin's men are approach ing the COuncy Forest and are nearly on the line held in April along the river Ailette. They have also widen ed their hold on the Disc to Bretigny, midway between Noyon and Chauuy.
 The French advance towards the roads leading to Chauny adds another menace to their line of retirement and explains the acceleration or the en- emy's retreat. BourgignOn, St. Paul Aux Bois and Quincy fell into the hands O. the French today. giving them command of the valley of the Ailette from the region of Coucy Le Chateau to the Disc.
 General Humbert's troops also are pressing the enemy vigorously. Having occupied the height of PlemOnt, just south of Lassigny which they sur rounded yesterday, they have captured which completes the con quest of the group of hills known as the Thiescourt Massif The enemy now has but a precarious holding on the valley of the Diyette river, in which French cavalry is now operaJ- ing.
 Several thousand prisoners have been taken since Wednesday evening and trophies in such great quantities that it has been impossible thus far to count them also have been captured.
 General Mangin's troops advanced seven miles during the night and this were rushing the enemy's rear guard so energetically that the columns were thrown into confusion

STATE OF WAR IS DECLARED
 IN PETROCRAD
American Vice Consul Pulls Down Flag and Prepares to Leave, After Giving Warn ing to Nationals.
Bv Review Leased yYIrel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Dis- patches from Russia today were of a somewhat disturbing nature to state department officials. Vice-consul Robert w. Imbrie, at Petrograd, re- ported in a delayed dispatch that mem bers Of the Bolsheviki government at the former Russian capital had issued a pTOnOuncitia declaring that a state of war existed between Russia and the United States.
 In view of the Bolshevik declaration, Mir. Im5rie reported in his dispatch, which was dated August ?, that he had lowered the United States flag ever the consulate and, following the recent action of Consul General Poole at Moscow, closed the consulate and turned the affairs of the United States over to the Norwegian consul. Ameri- cans in PetrOgrad believed to number about 20. were warned to leave, Con sul imbrie's dispatch said. although the consul indicated that he would re- main at his post until he had received instructions from the state depart ment.
 Announcement in a dispatch from France Of the appointment of two in ternatiOnal councils. one at Archangle ard the other at VladivOstok, however ccunterbaiances the unfavorab!e news contained in the dispatch from Petro- grad. Ambassador Francis, as dean of the diplomatic corps will act as the presiding officer of the ArchanSel council. The personnel of the Vladi- vOstok council is not yet complete Consul Caldwell will be the American member until President Wilson desig- mates a representative
 Persecution of the few Americans in PetrOgrad for the ten days prior to the dispatch of Consul Imbrie's cable gram made state department officials apprehensive as to their safety Off cials regard it as evident that further messages from the consul have been held up by the BOlshevik.
 The reference in COnsud Impries dispatch to a declaration of war oeainst the United States by the Bol- sheviki authorities however. was re- garded most seriously by officials Ir was suggested that the speech of Min ister Of War TTotZky at Moscow late in July. in which he declared that a state of war existed between Russia and Great Britain and France and their allies and which Foreign Min ister Tchitcherin modified. in response to an inquiry by Consul General Poole, to a state of defense against the allies, was the real basis for the latest de- in Petrograd. It was thought that upon receipt of the report of Trotzky's speech the PetrOgrad BOl- shevik authorities interpreted as they saw fit and issued their declaration ] of war against the United States.

The shortage is so serious that com pletion of a number of important war projects for the army and navy is he ing delayed, it was stated at the con ference. The field agents decided that the only way in which the needed la borers could be secured was to take them from nOn-essential industry.
 ''The time has come for the en-
 tire nation to realize that business
 as usual is no longer possible
 Nathan A Smith, assistant diTec-
 tor general of the employment ser
 vice told the conference.
 "If we are to end the war quick
 ly the production of iuxuries and
 non-essentials in this country
 must come to an end. It is a ques-
 tion of ending the war quickly or
 having it dragged on indefinitely"
 Indication of how the nCn-eSsentials may be cOmbed was given today when the community labor board of the Dis trict of Columbia announced a list of twenty-fOur classes of work regarded as non-essential Employers in this class are called upon voluntarily to re- lease their unskilled labor for war work. Community boards are being organized throughout the country by the department of labor, and they are to work in close cooperation with lo- cal draft boards.
 Following are the industries which the district board, the first to make an announcement, has listed as non essential:
 Automobile industry accessories, drivers Of pleasure cars, cleaning, re- pairing and delivery of same. sight seeing cars, auto trucks other than those hauling fuel or doing govern. ment work, teaming other than deliv- cry of products for war work; bath and barber shop attendants; bowling. billiard and pool rooms, bottlers and bottle supplies, candy manufacturers, cigars and tobacco, cleaners and dy- CTS, clothing. cOnfectiouers and delica- tessen establishments; builders and contractors not engaged in erection of . structures for war work; dancing academies, mercantile stores; florists; fruit stands, junk dealers, livery and sales stables, pawn brokers, peanut vendors, shoe shining shops, window cleaners, soft drink establishments, soda fountain supplies.
