In spite of Rapidity of American Advance Bochc
 Is Going Faster than He
 Leaving Guards to Hold

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE AISNE- MARINE FRONT, July 27.-(By The Associated Press)-The French and Americans have continued their rapid advance to the northeast and the forest of Fere was cleared of the enemy this afternoon. The allied forces are losing contact with the Ger mans.
 Progress is Satisfactory
 The progress made by the Franco American troops on the Aisne- -Marne front is considered eminently satis- factory by the commanders and tine failure of the Germans to employ ar tillery extensively has tended to con- firm the belief that their heavy guns on the greater part of the field have been moved far back, perhaps to a po- sition which may mark a new line.
 Concentrate on Hanks
 While steady pressure is being main tained on the arc forming the bottom of the sack, the allies are determinedly hammering the Hanks where von Boehm and von Eben have concen- trated their armies, returning blow for blow in the hope that they can hold out until the main body of the Ger mans can be withdrawn with a min imum loss.
 Bad Weather For Flyers
 Aerial operations were again of less importance today on account of the weather. It was cloudy all day with frequent showers, making it impract cable to keep up the observation bal looms which usually mark both lines. Occasionally both the allies and the enemy attempted to use planes but these in most cases were forced to de- scend on account of the rain.
 Enemy Stand Doubtful There is a growing belief that the enemy will make no effort to stand on the Ardre river. Fere- n-Tardenois, and even Vile en Tardenois directly east, are already under heavy fire from the Hanks and the south line. making the roads as well as the temporary rilroads virtually useless for transport most untenable.
 l The Germans are doing their utmost to hold the high ground southeast oi Soissons for continuation of theiI Iline either along the Ardre or further north along the Vesle.
 German Point of Attack
 The Hanks of the French, British and other armies are withStanding ev- cry effort of tho Germans, who appear to be making most determined effori south of Soicsons.

LONDON, July 27-The national ser vice officials were busy today at Gov entry and Birmingham preparing forms calling the strikers of military age to the colors should they ignore the governments ultimatum and not return to work on Monday, It is diff cult as yet to decide upon the effect of the ultimatum as many taking ad- vantage of the offered idleness have gone to their homes or are on a hol- iday.
 As far as the number of men out there is little change from yesterday. Saturday is a half holiday and should there be any number who have decided to return to work they would be un- likely to resume before Monday.

NEW YORK, July 27-Evidence that George Sylvester Viereck, whose claim to Americanism is being investigated, obtained $100,000 for his own uses from pro- Germans who believed they were contributing to improve the status of enemy aliens, has been obtained through examination of witness and of his bank accounts, it was announced today at The office of Merton E. Lewis, state attorney general. About half this sum was invested in German war bonds and intuition securities.
 After America entered the war and Niereck changed the name of his pub lication, The Fatherland" to 'Vier- eck's Weekly" his source of revenue which was the German government. was cut off. To carry on his alleged German activities, it was charged by Alfred Becker, deputy attorney general, he employed agents to collect funds under the representation that the money was to be used to finance the agricultural and industrial Labor Re- lief Bureau which he said was organ ized to aid unemployed enemy aliens. These agents, called as witnesses, told of their work in all parts of the coun- try and of obtaining sums ranging from $500 to sS00
 According to Mr. Becker the evil dence indicated that Niereck paid him. self salary of $700 monthly and that the labor organization placed $400 or $500 worth of advertising in Viereck' S weekly each wek. In these. two ways, MT. Becker declared, Viereck appar- ently obtained personal possession of virtually all the contributions.
 Dr. William Bayard Hale, in a state ment issued from his summer. home at Ashland, N.

SALT LAKE CITY, July 27.-Verner z. Reed, and E. F. Marsh, members of the presidents mediation commission, who have been in Salt Lake City sev- eral days Investigating grievances af- fecting labor in Utah, completed their work late tonight.

It is recommended that government com mission be appointed to reinstate wage differentials. with power to make their findings retroactive wherever it may be found that differentials are really necessary.
 The real reading of the recommenda- tions of the commissioners is that the government, having availed itself of it's authority to set the price of the pro- duct, should also set the price of labor.
