 LONDON, Aug. 13 (yia MOntreaD .- Sir Edward Kemp, overseas minister of the militia forces of Canada, has issued the following official statement regarding the worKsng oi the Canadian cavalry and machine gun brigade in the present offensive:
 "The cavalry broke through one gap in the German lines so rapidly that they captured a brigade headquarters intact, gaining valuable information as 10 the disposition of troops and taking hundreds of prisoners. Having insuni- cent men to take these prisoners back, an officer ordered the latter to proceed along unarmed to the advanc- ing infantry The prisoners obeyed. forming an extraordinary procession of hands up along the Amiens- Rove road
 Between Mezieres and Eeaucourt a lone prisoner shouted to the cavalry captain to take the neighboring vil- lage, where the brigade headquarters was situated The squadron stamped ed the horses Of the enemy and bombed his dugouts The frightened brigadier and his staff emerged, sur rendering.
 Three snipers who were skirting the hill expecting to meet their own squadron encountered fifty Germans with machine guns All took cover. but one returned Co warn the squad rcn.

"On' the battle front, except for somewhat increased hostile artillery activity, the day has passed compara- lively quiet We have captured few prisoners at different points.
 "On the remainder of the British front some raiding and patrol activity is reported, south of the Scarpe, northeast of Robecq and in the neigh borhood of VieuX-Berquin.
 The number of prisoners captured by the French first army and the Bri- tish fourth army since the morning of the eighth instant exceeds 2S,OOO. Among them are 500 officers, includ- ing eight regimental commanders. In the same period these armies have taken about 600 German guns, includ- ing many guns of heavy caliber ana also several thousand machine guns and also numerous trench mortars which have not yet been counted.

be remembered in allotting the billet ing of the areas it should be done so as to overcome the labor shortage In other words, the units that were rest ing were to have robbed the lands Ot crops planted by the French peasants. In tnIs connection, it was ordered that every available man must be used without reserve. For example, the higher staff Orderlies and servants must go into the grain fields and form themselves into special working par ties"
 In conclusion the order specified that the first work of the German sol diers should be devoted to the hay crop. The next task was to take an inventory of all the agricultural ma chinery and prepare it for use for the coming harvest" Now, however, a large portion Of these growing and un- harvested crops ,as well as a consider able amount of agricultural machin- cry, has been taken by the allied forces. This section of France is a most productive wheat area and it's loss to the Germans is a serious mat ter because of their lack of this grain in their rations."

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-President Wilson in letter to Dr. Franklin Mar tin, chairman of the general medical board of the cOdncil of national de fense. made public tonight, expressed his appreciation of the service being rendered the nation at this time by the medical profession. The president in his letter approves the establish ment of a volunteer medical reserve corps to include all physicians who because of age, physical disability, de- pondents and essential home needs are ineligible fer the medical corps of the army or navy.
 In reference to the establishment of the crops, the president wrote:
 q am very happy to give my ap- proval 10 the plans which you have submitted, both because of the useful ness of the volunteer medical service corps and becar.se it gives me an op- portunity to express to you and through you to the medical profession my deep appreciation of the splendid service which the whole profession has rendered to the nation with great en- thusiasm from the beginning of the present emergency"

 Southwest of Ypres early in the morning there was violent artillery fighting Under our fire enemy at tacks were unable to develop. South of Morris frequently repeated English partial attacks were repulsed There was forefield fighting on both sides of La Bassee canal and between the Scarpe and Ancre rivers.

 than ever, divisions in the line dur ing hostile attacks, large or small, must if possible employ elastic avoid ance even on so-called unhealthy fronts"
 The order is frank in explaining that, because of the reduced German strength, it frequently will be impos- sible to hold continuous trench lines. The document warns commanders that should the enemy obtain a foothold within the German lines they must consider carefully whether a counter attack is necessary.
 Another captured order informs the German regiments that they must pro vide the town defenses against low flying allied airplanes as the German aircraft resources are so low that they cannot be expected to fight off the enemy while they are engaged "on reconnaissance work"
 The value that the Germans placed on ground that they have lost is seen in a captured order signed by General Won Hutier, drawing attention to the difficulties in Germany's economic situation and calling on his troops to assist in affording all possible relief in regard to food supplies. The order dated before the opening of the pres ent allied offensive begins by ruling that not a scrap of food or forage, beyond ration limitations shall be con sumed The document admits the ra- tion are Hacking in variety" and calls on the troops to exploit the occupied territory thereby relieving the home land from sending us supplies" It warns the commanders to pay no at tention to demands of their men for more or better rations, adding:
 "The intelligence of the soldier must be aroused by the word and example of their leaders to understand the re- striction and the self denial necessary to bring the war to victorious end and bring about a German peace"
 The order says:
 Now and during the coming weeks the crops on the territory occupied and conquered must be harvested. Vast stretches of land and huge fields under good cultivation, promise us rich harvest" It adds extreme mea- sures must be taken and that it must

BOLT IS UNDER ARREST NOW AS
 HUN SUSPECT
Man Arrested Both Here and in Douglas May Belong to WobbIy-German Sabotage Clique

John Bolt, a German arrested here several months ago in connection with alleged activities as an l. W. W. or ganizer but later dismissed, only to be arrested at Douglas, when a bottle Of nitroglycerine was found in his pos session, is now under arrest at AJo.
 Inquiries received from there state that Bolts arrest followed suspicious actions on his part about the teaching plant Of New Cornelia, to which ne endeavored to gain entrance twice aft CT ne hao gone of his shit, being stop ped both times and on his third sJ- tempt placed under arrest. Subse- quent investigation gave rise to the De- lief that German agent had been talk en in custody in the person of Bolt and that his activities have had to do with sabotage along lines prescribed in almost identical terms in both the German and the l. w. w. codes.
 Bolt had been at work al Cornelia nearly three weeks before arrested. He went to the property from Tucson with credentials from a Tucson firm which has been acting as federal em- plOyment agency and with these ere dentials was immediately accepted.
 It is the present theory of the or ficers that Bolt has been in action with the sabotage division of the l. W. W. in Arizona for some time and was detailed to Ajo to carry out destruc- tive work there. Close watch kept over all of the properties and plants of producing mines in the state since the declaration of war has prevented the doing of important oamage at these, except the fire which destroyed the mill at Mammoth and fire that wiped out the Golconda mill, but there has been a considerable amount of small breakage about mills and smelters which it has been possible to attribute only to sabotage carried out by floating workers of the type of Bolt
 That their work has not when op- portunity afforded been without threat to the life of workers was evidenced by recent report from San Francisco of the discharge of explosives cOncea:- ed in scrap iron shipped from Douglas. When Bolt was arrested at the latter place with nitroglycerine in his pos session he set up the claim that he had the explosive for the purpose or doing work on a mining claim and sue ceeded in securing his release.
