GOLD PRODUCTION
MUST Be KEPT UP.
SAYS SEC. M ADOO

Gold is one OF the most needed
war essentials, and production must
be kept up TO the highest possible
maximum, Secretary McAdoo told the
House yesterday in a letter read at
the request OF Delegate SuIlzer Of
Alabama. The letter follows:
Il beg leave to acknowledge re-
receipt OF your letter OF June l, in
relation to the present conditions sur
rounding the production OF gold in
Alaska. l fully appreciate that with
rising cost OF raw material and labor,
and with a fixed value for their out
put, the gold miners or the world are
facing difficult conditions. should
be sorry. however. IL for this reason
there were any relaxation in the ef-
fort % produce gold.
The Washington times., 1918-06-16
Geld Necessary.


AT no time has this country Sc
much required the largest possible
production OF gold as at the present
Next to food and ammunition. gold Is
one of the most needed war essen
tials. In order to plan the enormous
amount OF Government bonds re-
quired to finance our war expendi-
lures, a large credit structure VIII
inevitably be erected on our gold
reserves And it is necessary that
these reserves. which are the foun-
datiOn Of the structure, shall be main
tanned on the broadcast possible basis.
The United States and its assOci-
ates in the war are heavy purchasers
OF raw materials and other commod-
tiles for the war in many neutral
countries. and our war requirements
make it impossible for US to pay our
bills in these neutral countries as We
have been paying them in times OF
peace. viz. through the shipment OF
manufactured goods and commodities
which those countries are eager to
buy from us. This means that a GER
tain amount OF debt to those coun-
tries must be paid for in credit or
in gold.
Must BE Maintained.
This brief statement will. / hope,
make clear to your constituents the
great necessity that exists for the
maintenance OF gold production at
the maximum point. The man or the
community that maintains or in
creases the production OF gold in the
face OF difficulty and announcement
is performing a patriotic service no
less than the more obvious, but not
less useful, services that are more in
the public eye

Dangerous Practice.

1T has been found that the most
effective hand grenade is that with
the bent safety pin. But the Ameri-
can soldiers, anxious always 10 speed
up, have a habit OF Strengthening the
pins. We have done our utmost to
halt the practice, and have told the
men time without number that they
must stand responsible If they
straighten the pins before going into
action. For a straight pin will easily
fall from the grenade, and that mems
that within FIVE seconds the deadly
engine will explode.

I With the British Army In France,
Aug. 27.-While the Germans wers
busily engaged In defending them
selves against the attacks OF the Brit
lsh and French armies from the An
ere river to the region OF Soissons,
Field Marshal Haig early Monday
morning struck another surprise blow
over a new front north OF the old bat.
tie zone. The new offensive was
launched from the east OF Arras on
the Scarpe river and southwark to the
Cojeul. All along the front the Brit.
ish pressed forwards at some places to
q depth Of more than two miles, and
captured half dozen or more VII.
lagos. among them Monchy-le-Preux,
Guemappe and Wancourt.
Across the Cojeul the new British
attacks on the old battle front brought
them to the villages Of Mory and St.
Leger. and farther south the small
town Of Fevreuil. one and half miles
northeast OF Bapaume. from which
the British pressed on eastward
about q mile.
Farther south the British are re-
ported unofficially to have reached
the western outskirts Of Thilloy In
the nipper movement they are carry
ing out against Bapaume. With Haig's
men now standing well within gun
range Of the town. 1t seems likely
that the Germans will be forced to
eyacuate Bapaume in short order.
Additional gains also have been
made by the British east Of Albert
and on both sides Of the Somme river.
In fact, Notwithstanding the efforts OF
the Germans through the use Of large
reinforcements to hold them In check,
the British and French all along the
line from Albert to scissors have ma.
terially bettered their positions and
carried further forward their plan Of
making the Picardy battle ground un.
tenable for the enemy.
Fresnoy-les-Roye to the north and
St. Mard to the south OF Roye, both
have been captured by the French. de-
spite desperate resistance Of the Ger
mans, and Roye like Bapaume In the
north. apparently Is in danger Of be.
ing pinched out Of the line in an en-
veloping movement. More than 600
prisoners were taken by the French
In the operation.
The operations Of the British on the
northern part Of the front from the
east of Arras to the region Of Bulle-
court have brought them upon or very
near to the old Hindenburg line.
There is still considerable activity
on the eastern part OF the battle front
in the vosges mountain regions.
There has been an increase in the
activity in the Albanian theater. Here
the Austrians twice attacked the
Franco-Italian troops, but were re-
pulsed. Later the French slightly
withdrew their line in order to main.
tain liaison with the Italians.
The British momentum apparently
increased In spite Of the strong efforts
Of the Germans to stay the oncoming
rush Of tanks, cavalry and infantry.
More than 1900 German prisoners al
ready have been counted and the en-
emy losses In prisoners are said to be
in excess Of the British casualties.
Unofficially the number of prisoners
is placed at 10000.
