YANKEE ARMY GROWS
Secretary Baker Says Over 700,'
600 Men Are in France.
French Alpine Chasseurs Are Bidden
Touching Goodby by War De-
partment Head.

Washington, June 12.-Secretary of
War Baker told the French Alpine
chasseurs, in bidding them farewell
here at the base of the Washington
monument, that more than 100000
American soldiers have gone over
seas.
The War Secretary's last announce.
ment some weeks ago concerning the
size of the American forces of war
was that 100000 men had sailed for
the battle front.
The Alpine chasseurs, known as the
Blue Devils" of France, were review
ed and received by the secretary of
war before departing enroute to their
native land.
You soldiers of France" said Mr..
Baker, "came to this country that
the people of America might see with
their own eyes in your persons the
kind of men who have written a new
page in the record of human heroism
and success. You are members of an
army which has never known defeat
and you are representatives of people
who would raher die than not be free.
when you left France the Ameri-
can army was there in small repre-
sentation, but now more than 100000
Americans have sailed from their
shore to carry back to your army and
your people encouragement and as
sistance.
"They are there learning from you,
emulating the virtues you eXemplify,
earning the art of the war as you
have learned it in the hard school of
strenuous experience"

WEST WILL Get
MORE WAR WORK
Eastern Districts Are Unable to
Handle the Large Volume
of Trade.
OUTLINES new POLICY
War Industries Board and Railroad
Administration Takes Action Owing
to Inability of Roads to Haul Coal
and Manufactured Products.

Washington, June 12-The govern
ment has prescribed a district in
which 1t will permit no increase in
the volume of war orders not in the
number of plants handling them. The
action is taken to check further in.
dustrial congestion in the already
cverburdened East.
This district includes New England,
eastern and southern New York, east
ern Pennsylvania to Williamsport, and
Altoona, New Jersey, Delaware and
eastern Maryland, excluding Balti-
more.
The new policy announced by the
War Industries board and Fuel and
Railroad administrations will tend to
create expansion of industries in the
Middle West and South, although the
process is expected to be so gradual
as not to work any hardship on the
Eastern manufacturing area nor cause
unusual industrial booms elsewhere
Railroad Shortage Is Cause.
The reason for the action which al
ready has been put into effect to some
degree, is primarily the inability of
the railroads to supply sufficient coal
or to haul promptly all the manufac-
tured products turned out by constant
ly growing industries. The shortage
of labor in the East and the congested
terminals of Atlantic ports were con-
tributory.
The announcement of the policy.
which has been under consideration

and coal shortage last winter, fol-

A policy has been adopted and
made effective for preventing further
increase in the volume of war orders
and the number of establishments
handling them in the area known as

and southern New York, Pennsylvania

CRITICAL STAGE
OF BATTLE HERE
Present German Operations Con-
stitute Serious Blow at Lines
of Allies.
FRENCH HURL FOE BACK
Enemy Forced to Forfeit Gain Within
-Four Miles of Camplegne-French
Counter Attack Retakes Village.
On Left.

London, June 12.-Tha Germans in
their plunge southwark on the line
from Noyon to Montdidier continue
to gain here and there in the center
of the line, where their greatest eff
fort has been exerted and where the
French resistance might have been ex-
pected to be most stubborn.
Frightful losses have been inflicted
upon the invaders. Their greatest adj
vance is at Vignemont, six miles from
the line as it stood previously.
French Stand on Aronda.
The French have launched counter.
attacks on the left of their line, which
may be an indication that they have
reached the front where they will
make their final stand. This line seems
to be along the Aronda river, small
stream flowing west and northwest
from the Disc and roughly paralleling
the line of the advance.
The Germans according to the Off
cial statement issued by the French
war office, reached the vicinity of this

advance, however, and the line pass
ing through Belloy south of st. Maur,
south of Marqueglise and Vandtli-
court. The village of Merry, west Of
Belloy, was retaken by the French
Monday night.
Teutons Threaten Ribecourt.
This part of the battlefront, how
ever, apparently is not the most men,
acing to the French. It is further east
that the Germans seem to be making
their most telling gains. Along the
right bank of the Disc, they have
reached Antoval, a village which lies
on the crest of the hills above the
important town of Ribecourt, lying
on low fat lands west and south Of
Ribecourt has been withdrawn in con-
sequence.
This movement has not resulted as
yet, according to reports, in the with
drawal of the French lines east of the
Disc from the Ourscamp and Garlic
pont forests, strong positions from
which the French defended their posi-

Germans to cross the Disc south of
Sempigny.
Critical Stage Reached.
The battle in the new area may now
be considered as having definitely en-
tered its critical stage, as in the Som
me, Flanders and Aisne combats the
third and fourth days of the offensive
were most menacing to the Allies It
now seems certain that the present
German operation constitutes a very
serious blow at the Allied lines from
the Disc to the Marne as we'll as
threatening the level country behind
the present battle lines Before this
can be reached, however, the Germans
may encounter even greater resis-
lance than they have overcome since
their offensive began.

Terrific Battle RACES Over Front OF
About Seven and Half Miles-Ger-
mans Lose Many Men During Hail
of She'll and Rifle Fire.

London, June PA severe defea
has been administered to the Ger
mans southeast of Montdidier. The
French turned and in a violent attach
over a front of about seven and {
half miles between Robescourt ant
st. Maur the enemy was steadily
forced back.
French since Sundays offensive began
had held back the Germans from keep
ing pace with the advance they were
making from the center of the line
south of Reasons sur Matz toward the
Disc river and where the onsluaghts OF
the invaders were met with defense
in man and gun power that brought to
the Germans enormous casualties.
The village of Belloy, Genlis wood
and the heights rising between Gour-
celles and Mortemer were recaptured
by the French, and in addition to the
infiiction of heavy casualties on the
enemy General Foch's men took more
than a thousand prisoners and also
captured guns.
Win Victory In Center.
In the immediate center of the line
between Montdidier and Noyon, where
the Germans had been able to extend
the apex of their drive to Anthenil,
the enemy ALSO was attacked and
driven back, but southwest of Noyon
he succeeded in reaching Machemont
and Bethancourt, the last named place
lying on the west bank of the Disc
river. Hard fighting is still in pro-
gress in this region with the French
disputing the attempts of the Germans
to press onward.
Having reached he Disc in the re-
gion of Ribecourt the enemy, if he pur-
poses to try to fight his way along the
west bank of the stream, soon must
emerge in force upon the lowlands
bordering the waterway, where the
troops of General Foch are said to
be in strong array-both in men and
guns-waiting to dispute the road to
Paris
Foe Claims. 10000 captives.
The German war office claims the
capture or 10000 additional prisoners,
which, with the number of captives
reported Monday would bring the total
to $4,000 in the present fighting. Since
the new offensive began along the
Soissons-Rheims secor May 81, it is
asserted by the German official CON-
munication, the army group Of the
German crown prince has taken about
$4,000 Allied troops captive.
In one of the most ambitious oper-
atoms carried out in many days,
Halg, troops, in the Amiens
sector have struck the German a hard
blow. The Australians carried out the
maneuver and they succeeded in ad-
Vancing their lines half a mile over
a mile and half front and took nearly
300 prisoners, including five officers.
In addition, Fl machine guns and a
trench mortar were captured.

Washington, June 12.-Curtailment

GOLD FLOWING TO AMERICA
Ottawa Sends Five Million Dollars to
New York.


New York, June 12.-Receipt by the
New York Federal Reserve bank of
$5,000,000 gold from Ottawa confirms
recent forecasts of a resumption of
gold imports from Canada such as
preceded the entrance of this coun-
try, into the war. These imports,
which may assume large volume, will
represent for the most part payment
of obligations incurred in this country
by the British government for vari-
Gus supplies.
British treasury officials find them
selves in a position to release gold
from Canada now that the United
States government has undertaken to
supply the financial needs of her Eu-
