Gea. March Announces Arrival Trained Yank Soldiers on Italy's Fighting Front.
WASHINGTON, July 27.—Trained combatant America®' troops rrom France have begun to arrive in Italy, ien. March announced today at his regular conference with newspaper men. J*"...
Neither tfte number nor the place where they are to be used has been communicated to the war department the general said.
Two additional American corps have been organized In France, Gen. March announced. They are the Fourth and Fifth, commanded by Majqr General C.eorgo W. Heed and Omar Bundy, respectively.
Sum tmng up the battle situation on the Aisne-Marne front, Gen. March said that it had resulted, according to official advices, in forcing them back shortening the allied line by ten miles.
Tlie positions on the flanks or the salient near Soissons and Rhelma are relatively unchanged. Gen. March said.
The German withdrawal from chateau Thierry toward the center of the salient continues and the important German center of Fere-En-Tardenois is now within 3y* miles of the allies' lines and under constant shell Or#.
Tells of Striking Advance. The most striking advance since last Wednesday which Gen. Marcn noted was by the British forces Just west of Rheims. This advance, of a mile and a half on a four mile front, he said, marked a special course of danger to the enemy, placing his forces to the south in an awkward position.
As a result. Gen. March said, the French already are beginning to advance northward from the Marne against the enemy forces ti\ the pocket on that side of the salient.
The German attack at Epieds only delayed the American progress and the trpops are again moving forward.

WORK OR FIGHT RULE APPLIED BY ENGLAND
Strikers Must Return to Work or Become Liable to Military Service.
LONDON, July 27.—The announcement last night -f Premier L.oyl orgc that all workmen absent fre factories on or after Monday will be deemed to have voluntarily placed themselves outside the munitions industry, and that they will become liable to military service, was issued too late to reach the bulk of the strikers last night. Consequently, It was not' generally known in the strike areas.
It was, however, communicated to the strike leaders at some centers by newspaper men to whom the leaders declared they were confident' that the strikers would not be intimidated or driven to resume work by the government's threat. The leaders added that such a possibility had been considered fully beforehand.
No reports reached London last night of an extension of the strike and the great bulk of the workers still remain unaffected. London, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham and Huddersfield, for instance, remain cool.
Situation is Serious.
Morning newspapers -here comment on the government's announcement mostly with approval, although they recognize the decision is a grave one, and contend that It will be generally endorsed by the country. A certain uneasiness is manifested by some papers, which, while admitting a strike at the present time is Indefensible, think that a settlement might have been reached by a decision and a compromise.
The Daily News, which regards the government's decision as the gravest taken in the history of British industrial disputes, says the responsibility of the results must rest entirely on the government. It adds that it is difficult to believe that a suspension of the embargo for a few days, to enable discussion, would have resulted in such a decrease of output as to justify the risk of an immediate conflict with a large body of laborers and alarming suspicions in a much larger body.
The Morning Post, whose views are usually "opposed to those represented by the News, also criticizes the government for acting unwisely in the dispute and declines to comment on the government announcement.
MAY END GARNISHEE.
Railroad Administration Is Planning a Radical Change. WASHINGTON, July 27.—The railroad administration is considering issuing an order forbidding the garnisheeing of wages of the more than 2,000,000 railway employes as a means of eliminating Ihe legal work caused by these actions. If this is done, it was said today, special efforts will be made to force employes to pay their bills without co\irt action, however, and those against whom repeated complaint is made will be discharged.

GERMANS MISTAKEN
Crown Prince Believed Armies Were Near Point of Exhaustion In March.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, July 27.—(By the Associated Press).—A restrospective glance at the entire battle since the Germans tried to cross the Marne in their great effort to break up the French armies shows that the crown prince, thinking the French exhausted by the terrific defensive battles they fought during March, April, May and June, had decided to launch a fresh offensive. He was so confident of success that he did not endeavor to hjde his preparations.
When Generals Von Einem, Von Mudta, Von Boehm and Von Eben started the attack on the night of July 14, they expected to overcome all resistance and easily capture Montmlrail, Epernay and Chalons. General Petain, however, had prepared another plan, which was presented to General Foch on July 12, and which was approved the following day.
The idea was to abandon advanced posts and hold the principal line of resistance with only the absolutely essential forces, and in the meantime prepare to spring a counter offensive on the German flank when the enemy troops were fully engaged ih the battle. Eastward of Rheims the execution of Gen. Petain's plan was favored by strong old positions, but to the westward of that city the problem was complicated because the organization of the ground held by the-French had not been completed.
When the battle opened, however, and opposing plans were put to the test that of Gen. Petain proved, ifeelf superior to the others. The French, Americans, British and Italians co-op-erated in a whole-hearted way and completely upset the crown prince's grandiose project. The result was the utter defeat and discomfiture of the German armies, which were obliged to employ many divisions which bad been reserved for later blows.
OFFICERS FIND
Roy Stevens, soft drink seller at Thirteenth street and Liberty avenue, was arrested shortly after noon Saturday by Mayor Charles R. Hunter's bone-dry squad on a charge of operating a blind tiger. Several quarts of whiskey and a large quantity of beer were taken by the raiding officers. Stevens was sent to Jail charged with violating the state liquor law. The raid was led by Polio# Sergeant Thomas Barry.

GENEVA, July 27.—A dispatch received at Vasel, Switzerland, today from Hamburg, says: "More than twenty large submarines are now operating off the American coast. The number of submarines in the Atlantic has been increased by thirty per cent in the last seven months."
No German denial, official or unofficial, has been made concerning the rtccnt. statement of a Swiss engineer, who returned to Geneva from Kiel that tlie harbor there is full of damaged submarines and that it is difficult to find crews for the German U-boat service.
POOD SITUATION ACUTE.

TEERE HAUTE TRIBUNE.
PETROGRAD IS FACING ACM STARVATION
City, In Despair, Is Pacing Suffering for Lack of Food, and Thousands Are Dying.
PETROGRAD, July 27.—Petrograd is a city of despair and near starvation. For many months a threatening phantom, hunger, has already struck down thousands. A great majority of the two million persons now crowded into the capital of Peter the Great, know what it is to be without food and know that winter is coming with probably worse in store.
The people talk, dream arid—when they can-^-eat food. Long lines from early in the morning stand before the shops to buy food. Thousands storm incoming. trains in a wild scramble for food brought in by peasants and travel ing soldiers. In front of every shop window where food stuffs are displayed, people stand and gaze longingly with their eyes glued to the window pane3.
Petrograd is also a city with its pockets full of worthless money. Money presses are working overtime and wages are increasing but neither can keep up with the rising prices. The Nevsky Prospect, the "street" of Petrograd, is a picturesque evidence of the lack of food. In this season's white nights, every hour of daylight sees it lined from one end to the other with street venders selling cakes and chocolate, candies and queer little pancakes, called "bleeneys," and sugar in lumr* from carefully guarded little hoards.
Reduced To Penury.
Persons who formerly owned limousines and live in palacelike homes along the Neva are selling candy and biscuits in the streets to earn their living. Their customers are opulent sailors and workmen who buy biscuits at fabulous prices because even they, part of the time cannot get bread.
There is a daily sight that always brings hopeful smiles—the motor lorry loaded with flour on its way to the soldiers bakery. There is some flour after all, and that is worth a sipile in Petrograd these days. Six cavalrymen ride in front of the lorry and six„sailors, heavily armed, are perched hi*b. an the sacks.
One need not be surprised if the lady dressed in silk and satins—once a member of the bourgeoise—who sell a biscuit, addresses you in any of the two or three foreign languages she knows. Then one may buy newspapers from grey beards in frock coats and silk hats and from army officers in »hiny boot A.
Girls Sell Themselves.
Some of those on the Nevsky are girls, pretty ones and they walk the long length of the street all the day and into the night asking for the little postage stamps that pass for money in Russia now—because they are hungry. And then there are other girls, and the number grows larger every day, who do not exactly beg but look wistful and hungry and sell themselves, instead of biscuits, or chocolate, or newspapers to the rollicking sailors and debonaire speculators.
One of the mysteries of Russia is where the vendors of cakes and biscuits get the things they sell. Tbere is absolutely no flour to be had and the bread allowance- per person which one sometimes gets and sometimes does not is one-half a pound daily for the proletariat and one-eighth of a pound daily for the bourgeoise. The bread is black and heavy and its ingredients cannot be identified. Sugar cannot be obtained in the shops. In the home, horse mejfc, dried cabbage and what bread is available is the principal diet for the majority. Bggs, butter and milk are high in price and extremely scarce.
Formerly an Income of 200 rubles a month was comparatively opulence. Now, according to the best estimates available It costs from 2,500 to 3.000 rubles a month to maintain a family of three in anything like comfort. Most of the families in Petrograd even with wages soaring, have less than 1,000 rubles a month. But even the wealthy suffer hunger pangs because transportation is crippled and the city is cut off from the Ukraine, its principal flour and sugar producing territory and from the nearby Finnish and Baltic communities that once supplied it with butter, milk, eggs and vegetables.
In tlje city's largest hotels, some formerly among the show places of Europe, there is no electric lights, no elevators, no hot water, and generally no food. One provides always his own bread and must keep it under lock and key. A dinner in one of the better class restaurants today costs 40 rubles. But the city struggles on. Now desperately and now nonchalantly it strives to adapt iteelf to the topsyturviness of present life.

COMMITTEE OFTWENTY HEARD INUK TRIAL
Continued From Page Ons.
placed John Cannon on the stand who said that Leo Alanso had not been subpoenaed by the defense and a subpoena for Horn had only been, issued about an hour ago.
Here a clash occurred between Whitlook and O'Mara. The defense had been asking for Horn and Alanso. Blankenbaker requested that the court ask the attorneys for the state if they knew where Alanso or Horn were and insinuated that they had been influenced to stay away. Wh'tlock stated that the court had ordered Alanso to remain until the defense had used him as a witness.
Judge Hunt stated that it was not the question here, even if the state had paid Alanso $&00, as suggested by Blankenbaker, and Whitlock said it would make a difference in the testimony. After Blankenbaker had repeated a remark about the state paying Alanso $500 for wages lost and expenses and of its influencing him, Piety objected to such insinuations, saying that he had paid no witness to testify falsely, and did not intend to be charged with crime. O'Mara arose and in the course of his speech stated that "even when Whitlock had been under indictment for subordination of perjury he had said nothing." The jury was not present at this time, and this is the first time Whitlock's case has been mentioned in the trial. Whitlock shouted, "That's a lie I'll see you after court." O'Mara said, ''Oh, you would only do what you did when Donn Roberts hit you." Here the war ended.
When Auditor Ferguson was placed on the stand the first time the defense attempted to introduce three applications for liquor licenses, showing that Charles Morgan, Clark's bartender at Oakview, had applied for a liquor license, had had one transferred to Oakview, and had had that one renewed. The court held this incompetent, and Ferguson was dismissed to get his record.
Fred Armstrong Called.
Detective Armstrong was placed on the stand for the third time during the trial, and told of being down at "Buster's" saloon with Fedderson Saturday night while the dope raid was in progress, saying they were there twice, once near 8 o'clock and again at 9:15. He said the first time he saw several men, six or seven, standing and sitting in front of the saloon, but Clark was inside. Blankenbaker wanted to know if he saw anyone "glooming in the gloom," but Armstrong said he did not know Horn, and could not identify him if he seen him.
County Auditor Ferguson .arrived with bis record when Armstrong was dismissed, but Judge Hunt told him his evidence was entirely insufficient, because many a man had gone that far in getting a liquor license and had never finally got one. O'Marif wanted to know why they did not produce the license.
Detective Fedderson was placed on the stand, and he testified the same as Armstrong.
The defense announced it wanted Capt. Harvey Jones, Leo Alanso and W. S. Horn on the stand, and BlanHenbaker asked the court to request O'Mara and Piety to explain where they were. Earl Houck was called and when he did not appear Blankenbaker said he would hate to use drastic means, but the defense witness had been subpoenoed (some an hour ago) and had not appeared.
The court excused the Jury for a short recess. Court was convened when Earl Hoiick appeared and took the stand. Blankenbaker asked him if he was a secret service argent of the government and he answered yes he represented the two departments here. He told of participating in the dope raid Saturday night in his official capacity. He told of being at Clark's twice, once near 8 o'clock and again later. He said Captain Jones nd Capt. Allen was with him and told of seeing Blankenbaker"there.
Mr. Waldron Called.
Fred R. Waldron was then placed on the stand. He said he. was a member of the citizens' committee and in reply to Blankenbaker's questions named James Royse, W. W. Parsons, John S. Cox, S. S- Anderson, Milton Herz and George Buntin. members of the committee. He said no record of the committee proceedings were kept.
He denied such questions as "Did you employee a detective named Morman, that is gave his name as Morman, saying he was the son of Morman the uuto manufacturor, to work'en this case and did he not get in jail for beating a board bill and did not John O. Piety defend him in City Court and did you not later find out he had stolen an automobile in Greencastle?" "Did you not employ a man named Horn a few weeks ago, an alleged detective employed by the Webster detective agency of Indianapclis, *and was he not paid a sum of money to testify in this ca^e?"
BlankenbaJter asked him how much Horn got. from what' sum he was paid, if he released Horn, how much he paid Capt. Smock, and other questions of like nature, and finally the court inquired what his object was? He replied to show that the state witnesses had been intimidated, coerced, unduly influenced, suborned and enti ed into testifying falsely. O'Mara then arose and stated that the defense was taking advantage and that they had as much right to show the truth of Clark's being convicted of grand larceny by the Court record but that it was illegal. Whitlock objected to the "jury speech" saying that he objected to the delay and w-anted to get along and hurry the case through. "When did ^you decide to do that?" asked Hunt. After more remarks in i the same vein by Blankenbaker, Judge Hunt stopped tha air raid.
Mr. Waldron told Blankenbaker tl.at he had met Leo Alanso at the union station when he arrived in Terre Haute Monday, and that he had paid him his railroad fare, his wasres and his expenses for coming here to testify.
Attack on Mr. Ely.
In the cross, examination. O'Mara promptly brought out the nature of the
You need these—
Then Blankenbaker asked Where is Ely? Is he not president of the Highland Iron and Steel company? Don't you know that he is a tax dodger and that he is guilty of election corruptions, that he stuffed the ballot box with 82 foreign rotes for Judge Piety?
Mr. Waldron said h® did not know anything of the kind. Captain Harvey Jones was then placed on the stand and testtned concerning the dope raid Saturday night, much the same a« Fedderson and Armstrong and Earl Houck.
The defense announced it would rest and the state replied that they would do the same and the jury was excused wrhile the attorney* argued over how long they would argue on the instructions to the jury. The court said three hours each was enough and adjourned court until 10 o'clock Saturday morning.
FILLING THE LABOR GAPS,
The committee on public information is conducting a particularly vigorous campaign in Mexico. The touj" of the United States made by Mexican newspaper editors a few weeks ago was part of a comprehensive plan to correct mistaken impressions that exist south of the Rio Grande on the Question of this country's attitude toward her southern neighbor. The America's need for unskilled labor to replace the men in the United States who are being drafted for war and war Industries. American farms, mines and railroads require vast numbers of unskilled workmen. There are two possible sources of supply one is China and the other Mexicj. The latter country can afford immediate relief. Unfortunately, there is deep-rooted prejudice in Mexico against the people of this country, which must be overcome before it will be possiDie to persuade Mexican labor to cross the line. This prejudice is partly attributable to the American government's uncertain policy toward the governments that have followed the Diaz regime. The United States has wavered between an attitude of harshness, which has aroused Mexican hatred, and mistaken indulgence, which, interpreted as rear, has inspired contempt. Consequently intelligent propaganda work must be carried on in Mexico if this country is to reap the advantages in that direction from President Wilson's recent significant modification of the immigration law. If the committee on public information is successful, however, the United States will win the friendship of a suspicious neighbor and a supply of labor that will plug the gaps in America's army of unskilled workingmen.—Thomas F. Logan, in Leslie's.

Fo Xore Can New Yoifcers' "Cliaee the Duck" From Their Ftont Stoops At Eventide.
NEW YORK, July 7—The New York Sun says: As fresh fish fg to cajrrredf flsfc, so ts beer from the wood to that beverage bottled, whether the tin cap® have been affixed at the brewery or at th« establishment of some intermediary. The bottle beer Is not to be condemned it has flavor, spirit, life above all. it is convenient, portable as well as palatable. But the connoisseur in that which is commonly known aa the malt or the brew holds to the original package, and looks with peculiar tenderness on the homely but sociable keg. The growler, by some known as the duck, ut his vessel of transportation. A hot night, a trip to the corner, a satisfying draught on the front steps the incident is repeated a thousand times in New York in those heated months when "nobody is in town."
Some there may be who carry the can unabashed and unashamed. The evening pint, now alas reduced from the generous measure of bygone years, increased in cost, is sought without concealment or timidity. -Others are less open in their traffic. There are hat boxes that parade solemnly down streets of smug superiority, to dodge into side doors and family entrances, emerging with a delicacy of trend that warns the wise of liquid contents far more precious than the shiniest of two quart plug hats. Milk bottles have been utilized by the circumspect in boarding houses, where many thirsts imperil the hospitable, the handbag that is nominally reserved for the weekly trip to the laundry visits the corner occasionally.
But this will soon be history. The governor has decreed that the trade in liquor, in wines, in ales and beers shall be restricted after 8 o'clock in the evening to consumption on the premises, The bootleggers have taken advantage of an ancient practice to buy for soldiers and for sailors that which they may not buy for themselves the protection of the fighting men is of prim# importance and consequently the familiar spectacle of happy men bearing with supreme care buckets, pails, pitchers of foaming beer from Jimmy's pl«c.e to their habitations will be d*» nied us this summer except as the representative of the family scurries home against the coming of father for his evening meal.
It will be said that a man should be able to get aJl the beer he ought to have before -S o'clock in the evening. That is true. But the impulse to drink beer is not ruled by clocks or governed by executive edicts.
