FRUSSIANS RUN AWAY
ALLIED CASUALTIES EXTREMELY LIGHT AS RESULT OF UTTER
 SURPRISE OF ADVANCE, CATCH ING ENEMY TOTALLY UMPIRE PARED; TANKS PARTICIPATED

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Aug. 8 (By the Associated Press) 4:3O p. m.-Fighting their way through the Germans at down on a front os over fifteen miles, astride the river Somme, British and French troops this afternoon had reached points from five to six miles inside lines which this morning belonged to the enemy.
 The Prussians and Bavarians fled before the advancing infantry and tanks, leaving many of their guns be- hind them.
 Large numbers O. prisoners have been taken both by the British and French and heavy casualties undoubt- edly have been inflicted on the enemy.
 Thus far everything has been ac- complished with excessively small losses to the allies.
 Of one entire British corps, for ill., stance. two hours after the attack be- gan. only two officers and 15 men of the ranks were reported as casual ties.
 The artillery has followed up the storm troops closely and now is hurl- ing shells down upon the enemy for res. which. taken for surprise and fiercely attacked, must be in a more or less crippled condition. It is be- lieved that the endorsements are on the way to help them.
 What tomorrow holds for the enemy cannot be foretold. but the outlook is not promising one under present con ditions.
 Moreuil and the country front ad- joining rs-Aux-Erables have been taken by the French while the British have captured the Dodo and Hamel Woods and Marcelcave after hard fighting and pushed a considerable dis tanee beyond.
 Especially hard fighting was expert enCe and still is in progress on the left flank of the fighting front in the neighborhood of Morlancourt.

ORDER IS SIGNED
CBv Review Leased VVire)

! iBN Review Leased Wlrel WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-An order suspending further civilian volunteer | ing for officers training camps was signed today by the secretary of war No more applications from civilians Twill be accepted until the legislation affecting draft ages is disposed of. The orders were issued after a con ference between Secretary Baker and | Secretary Daniels and were made pub lie after President Wilson had visited | the offices of both secretaries late in the day. It is not known whether his visit had to do with the enlistment situation but just before he conferred with the cabinet officers there was no indication that a step of such dFastic nature was anticipated.
 It was explained that the view of the government is that many of the older men are indispensable in their present occupations but the natural result of the debate on the draft age question is certain to lead to a rush to the recruiting officers. It is regard ed as essential that men greatly need ed at home should be- prevented from rushing into tn army under a mistaken idea that they are certain to be drafted anyhow and prefer to join the service voluntarily.
 The war departments action was announced in the following statement issued. by Secretary Baker.

TO LOAN MEN MONEY
COMPANY WILL PERVIsE BUILDING IN ORDER TO SEE THAT EVERY MAN GETS VAL UE; PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYABLE IN 100 MONTHS

At a meeting of the directors of
 the Warren company Q few days
 ago, a plan was completed where
 by relief is promised for the con
 gested housing conditions and the
 high rents of the Warren district.
 This plan. which is probably the
 most liberal that has ever been
 evolved by mining company, is
 to be participated in by the
 Calumet & Arizona Mining com
 pany and the Copper Queen
 branch of the Phelps Dodge Cor
 poration. It provides for the
 lOaning of money to employees who
 desire to build homes at per
 cent, a rate from to per cent
 lower than the ordinary rate of in-
 terest. Building and loan associa-
 tions usually require. too. that the
 prospective builder have in cash
 from 90 to SO per cent of the
 necessary cost of the building.
 The terms provide for the payment of the houses as monthly rent, the principal to be paid in 100 months This monthly rental will not be as much as that now required to rent a house of the same class. and the larger part of it will be applied to the prin- cipal. Ordinarily under such plans the company provides built houses, but under the new plan it is possible for the prospective purchaser of a house. to select his plans or to provide them himself It is necessary. how ever. that they be approved by the cOmpany's architect, as it is desired to make Warren a community of good looking homes.
 This enterprise is in addition to the operations of the Warren company and the Cochise Building & Loan as sociatiOn. Both of these have been re- markably successful The COchise Building & Loan association was start ed some years ago at the request oI Dr. James Douglas. and during the past eighteen months has been re- spOnsible for the building in the War ren district of better than two houses a week. ranging from S1400 to S10.O0O. During the past week ten house lots have been sold in Warren proper. The annual report of the COchise Building & Loan association shows that during the past year more than S200.000 has been loaned for the assistance of home builders in the community. and that upwards of S4O0.0O0 total has been

Notices were posted in the district yesterday announcing that. effective August |. all those In the enplcye of the mining companies in the Warren district and Douglas are to have an- other increase of 25 cents per day in their wages. Office men will have proportionste raise. it Is said.
 When the government fixed the price of copper at 26 cents per pound in the early days of July it was an nouneed that 50 cents a day increase would be granted the miners and smSltermen of the Warren district and Douglas. Since then a conference with the government mediator resulted in a decision to grant a further raise of 25 cents per day.
 The increased wage will affect all men employed by the Copper Queen, the Calumet and Arizona and the Shattuck-Arizona.

 UNDATED WAR LEAD, BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.-The historic battle ground between Amiens and Montdidier again is the scene of mighty contest. This time the British and French are the ageressorS anc' un- der their fierce onslaughts in the first days battle they have penetrated deep ly into the German positions over a front of more than twenty miles, reaching from the region of Branches to the neighborhood of MorIsncourt.
 Following short but intensive artil- lery preparation and aided by misty weather the allied attacks took the Germans completely by surpise and they fled almost everywhere pell mell before the tanks, motor machine gun batteries, cavalry and infantry sem against them. All the objectives set for the Australians, Canadians, Eng fish and French were attained in re- markedly quick time, and at last ac- counts Thursday night the allied forces were still making progress. Wherever the enemy turned to give battle he was decisively defeated.
 Thousands of Germans were
 made prisoner. Large numbers
 of guns were captured, great quan-
 titles of war materials were taken
 and a score or more of villages
 and hamlets were reoccupied. In
 addition heavy casualties were in-
 flicted on the enemy.
 At it's deepest point the penetration of the German line was about seven and a half miles, eastward from Vil- lers-B -Bretonneux to Framerville while from two to five miles were gaiDec all along the front from northwest of Montdidier to the region around Nor lancourt. The fighting extended north of Morlancourt to the Albert sector, but no official details concern ing it have been received.
 The advance of the allies in the center places them well astride the railroad leading from Villers-Breton- neux to the important junction at Chaulnes, where lines radiate north eastward toward Peronne and south ward through Rove to Compiegne.
 The railway running nOrthward to Braye was crossed when the allies took Framerville.
 We'll out on the plains and pressing forward, seemingly with great rapid ity, the present offensive OF the French and British gives promise Of seriously menacing the entire German front from near the sea to Rheims. If the drive should proceed eastward to any great depth it cannot but affect the armies of the German crown

 WASHINGTON, Aug. S-Within less than twenty-four hours after the Diamond Shoal light ship off Cape Hatteras, N. C., had been de- strOyed by shell fire, the small unarmed American steamer Merak was shelled, torpedOed and sunk by a German submarine near the North Carolina coast Tuesday aft ernOOn. Announcement cf the de- struction of the ship-the third sent down in that vicinity since last Sunday-was made today by the navy department.
 The Merak's crew of forty-three men got away in small boats and were landed safely, rwenty-three at Norfolk and the remainder at Elizabeth City, N. c. Complete de- tails of the sinking of the ship were lacking tonight, but it was assumed that as in other cases, the submarine opened fire with out first giving the crew time to lower small boats.
