Jo the Vesle and Ardre valleys, the iiext defensive line on the Marne. At that time the advancing forces were within six miles of this line. Later '^dispatches, however, have indicated *. -,that the Vesle-Ardre line may have -been turned already. |S*' The objective of the American ^uid :1 allied armies still is the destruction of ^the enemy's army, Gen.

the war department it is the total as given in the department's weekly published summary.

This statement was made the vehicle of sensational reports sent out from Washington to the effect that Gen. Pershing had reported to Gen. March that he estimated at 12,000 the American casualties in the recent fighting.

Senators who attended the conference and war department officials generally denounced the published report as misleading in every way. It was reiterated officially, and stated specifically by Gen. March that Gen. Pershing had made no estimate.

The official transcript of General March's talk with the Washington correspondents contains this question and answer: "Have you any estimate as to toe number of casualties?" "None whatever."*

DROPS SEVEN BCHQIS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Names of seven German educators have been dropped from the honorary membership rolls of the National Education association. The action came as a result of agitation from members of the council of national defense, active members of N. E. A., and others. The. names dropped are: Drs. Klein, Paszowski, Reinhardt, Schmidt Moellendorff, Applemann and Mez.

WHERE MONEY WENT.

NEW TORK, Aug. 3.--The German government paid several hundred thousand dollars to agents in this country before the United States entered the war, in return for information regarding American munitions and .crops, according to a statement made by Alfred L. Becker, deputy state attorney-general who is investigating expenditures of Teuton funds in this country.

TOLD ORDER STANDS

Safety Board Probing Police "Leaks," and Showdown Is Expected Monday Night.

Desk Sergeant Frank Voelker, who •was reduced from his position to traffic policeman at Seventh and Ohio streets, Thursday by Chief of Police Jack Beattie, has not assumed his new duties and says it will be impossible for him to act in the capacity of traffic officer on account of having but one limb, the other having been amputated two years ago as a result of an accident when a motorcycle on which he was making a hurry up call collided with an automobile at Third and Cherry etreets.

Clem Richards, president of the board of safety, says the action taken by Chief Beattie, is approved by the board and that the changes will have to stand. He said there was no other opening on the department for Voelker and that if he could not handle the traffic job, there was for him no alternative but to resign.

Guy Bowsher, the other desk sergeant reduced at the same time, has been assigned to Sixth and Ohio streets, and is acting as traffic officer. The Sixth and Ohio traffic corner was created at the same time as the reduction of the two sergeants and two district men were assigned to traffic duty. Bowsher is satisfied with the change, but in the case of Voelker nothing but his resignation can be seen on account of his inability to perform the duties of a traffic officer.

The board is probing reports that local undertakers have been charged $5 each for information coming from police headquarters regarding the finding of bodies in the river and other calls.

A gold watch which disappeared from police headquarters and again reappeared a~» mysteriously as it had gone, was also announced. Three gallons of whiskey taken from the room in which it was stored at the city hall, after a window hnd been "jimmied" has never been recovered and official reports show that the taking of the whiskey was known and the names of the. takers turned in to the board.

Red light raids tipped off and which failed have been attributed to some one connected with the department. Two liquor raids planned in advance which failed also was attributed to some member or members of the department.

The next official meeting of the board will be held Monday night and at the meeting two members of the department will be discharged, if it is proved they are guilty of tipping off the big federal dope raid in the tenderloin district. Mayor Charles R. Hunter, Chief of Police Jack Beattie, Clem Richards, president of the board of safety, are silent on the police tangle, and results of a startling natura may be looked for Monday night.

LONDON, August 3.—"Tests which recently have been applied in France and this country to the latest American engine have justified the prediction that it would prove a most valuable contribution to allied resources, and the United States can go ahead and push its production with every confidence."

These are the words of Sir William Weir, new secretary to the air minister, •who presided at the Wilbur Wright lecture delivered by Dr. Durant, scientific attache of the American embassy, in the Central hall, Westminster, Tuesday evening. Sir William also paid tribute to the ingenuity and technical capacity of the aircraft designers of Great Britain.

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE.

German Soldiers Welcome Coming of American Army

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE AISNE-MARNE FRONT, Friday, Aug. 2.—(By The Associated Press.)—German soldiers generally welcome the news that more American soldiers are arriving in France, believing that the faster the -Americans arrive, the sooner there will be a decisive battle or a definite peace move, according to a sergeant Of the Fourth Prussian guards division, who was captured by the Americans near Sergy.

The prisoner told the correspondent that the German soldiers were sick of the war and also that the poorer classes of Germany had had sufficient war and believe now that Germany is bound to lose. The capitalists, however, insist on continuing the war at all costs. "German officers," the prisoner said, "informed us months ago that the Americans were taking few prisoners and that those taken were treated inhumanely. They kept warning us constantly that death was preferable to being captured by the Americans, but not all the German soldiers believed that, despite the high regard in which officers are supposed to be held. "Among the German soldiers it was common talk that if any one of them had a good chance to be taken prisoner in the hands of the Americans he would do so, providing he was reasonably certain that he could pretend he was not altogether to blame. S". generally among the Germans who have been in the war four years, as I have been, many are eagerly watch-

CINCINNATI, Aug. I.—John Hoffman, Sr., president of the John Hoffman Packing company, well known local pork packers, was arrested today on a federal warrant charging him with violation of the espionage and sedition laws. Before the United States «ommis*sioner he pleaded not guilty, and was held under $20,000 bond for preliminary examination. Hoffman secured bondsmen.

Among statements set forth in the warrant as having been uttered by Hoffman are: **I know the United States will not whip the Germans I will not buy any bonds to help Wall street or 'Johnny Bull." The money belongs to the people, and not to the government, and the people should keep their money." "Watch what us Germans are going to do." "The American armies have no good generals and no discipline, and the soldiers have no gait"

HTTNTTNGTON, Ind., Aug.^ 3.—J. Q. Cline, chairman of the public morals committee of the Huntington county council of defense, was this morning removed from office, by a unanimous vote of the council. Cline was charged with obstructing war work of the body, in that he advised his clients, it is said, that no law existed to permit the making of assessments for the county war chest. He was further accused of making malicious statements against men engaged in war work here, and did not deny this, stating that he had heard stories which he had repeated.

10 TAX WAR PROFITS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—President Wilson has let it be known to members of the house ways and means committee, which is framing the new eight billion dollar revenue bill, that he is interested in a heavy tax on war profits. The president has given careful study to the present tax system and also to the Knglish system which imposes a flat tax of 80 per cent on such profits.

American Army Hat to Be Displaced By the Overseas Cap. LONDON, England, August 3.—The death knell of the sombrero type of hat, which has been a great favorite with American soldiers in England, is sounded in a general order issued byAmerican headquarters. The order states that all officers and enlisted men on duly in England will cease to wear the service hat after Aug. 1 and will turn in such hats to the quartermaster. The regulation headgear in future will be the "overseas cap," similar to that worn by British aviators.

ing for an opportunity to be captured." The sergeant said the officers never told them the truth when there was to be a German offensive. The officers get the soldiers nerved for a fight by informing them the allies were about to launch an attack and then at the proper time they would order their own men forward. "There Is no danger of a revolution among -the German soldiers," he continued, "so long as they are well fed." He said the German soldiers had meat, mostly in the form of stew, every day but the poorer classes at home had only three-quarters of a pound per week. Generally speaking, the soldiers had enough, but no luxuries.

War weariness in Germany, the sergeant declared, was increasing as the war continued. Ha added that if the Americans had had four years

war-

they would be war weary too. Among the troops there was much gossip heard about the emperor, most of the talk concerning Field Marshal Von Hindenburg, who is looked upon as the world's greatest warrior.

The sergeant is 30 years old and has a wife and four children in Berlin. He Mid he had been engaged in the Marne fighting three days .when he was wounded in the leg by an American bullet. He dropped to the ground when he saw two Americans mphing toward hlra. Soon afterward he was carried to the rear on a stretcher.

The sergeant's cot Is amnnc containing American wounded. One big wounded American made sucli fuss in attempting to continue th* fighting with the German that he hat' to be moved to another ward.

INNAH PACKER JULY POLICE REPORTS HELD FOR DISLOYALTY

SHOW 361 ARRESTS

Charges of Intoxication Decrease, While Total Number of Arrestf Shows Harked Increase.

According to the monthly police report, filed with the board of safety Friday afternoon by Bertillon Clerk Charles Cunningham, but 12 persons were arrested in the month on charges of intoxication. The number of arrests in other lines, however, exceeds those of May or June, and shows that a total of 361 were landed in jail during the month. Two hundred and sixty-seven of the 361 were white males, 34 white females, 38 colored males and 22 colored females.

Ten arrests for violating the federal liquor laws were made, while eleven charges of violating the state liquor law were filed. Twenty-nine persons were arrested for federal investigation, and three war loafers were taken into custody. Eighty-four persons were arrested on suspicion, and 49 automobiliats operating on the city streets with glaring headlights were arrested. Two deserters were picked up during the month, and $100 wai added to the police pension fund with the rewards given for their 'arrests. Six fugitives from other cities were captured and returned, and nine arrests for conducting gaming houses were recorded. Thirteen men charged with failure to nrovide were arraigned in City Court, and ten prostitutes were gathered in by the police. One arrest on a charge of arson, and one on account of unlawful possession of dynamite were made.

One person was sent to the reformatory, 13 women to the woman's prison at Indianapolis, five to jail and twen-ty-eight to the state penal farm by Judge Paul R. Shafer. One case of destitution was looked after by the department, and 14 persons were injured through accident during the month. One hundred and ninety-five automobile runs were made, and a total of 391 persons hauled in the patrol wagon. Property to the extent of $2,734» was stolen during the month, and property to the valuation of $1,125,25 was recovered. One member of the department, James Cronin, resigned to enter the government service, and two desk sergeants, Frank Yoelker and Guy Bowsher, were reduced to traffic policemen. A new traffic corner at Sixth and Ohio streets, was created, and two patrolmen assigned to the job of rjgulating traffic there.

During the month of May but 243 arrests were made, and but few more made during June. The arrests for July are far in excess of any month since February, during the Hunter administration.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 3.—The Swedish tax authorities have a unique weapon for extorting delinquent taxes from unwilling payers. T'iey simply cancel his "motbok," the pass book upon which alone one can buy certain quantities

A recent report shows that delinquents have in a number of cases paid three years back tax to have their books restored. One man paid 976 crowns, nearly

$260,

for the priv-

ilego of buying two liree (about two quarts), of spirits quarterly.

Plans had been made to strike hard rear, but the German war council evidently had decided that the time waa inopportune to fight, for when the alliea moved forward it Vas only to follow upon the trail of the retreating enemy.

At a few places there were sharp encounters, but they were nothing as compared with the terrib e engagements that previously had been fought or what had been expected.

Cavalry Leads Advance.

The French cavalry operated near Dravengy about two and one-half miles north of Coulongcs with the American infantry close behind while another detachment of mounted French troops opened the way a short distance to the west, with French infantry and American foot troops close up.

The penetration by the Frenoh and Americans to the region of Dravegny would place them only a scant eight miles southeast of Fismes on the railroad midway between Soissona and Rheims.

Occasional burstg of machin* gun fire challenged the advancing line, but it was apparent early in the movement that the Germans had gone. The stiffest fighting encountered by the Americans was in a little piece oj ground .east of Chamery, where, according to the German newspapers, the body of Iieut. Quentin Roosevelt was buried after his airplane had been brought down early in the present operations.

Americana Wove Afcead.

Through wheat fields and along wooded trails, 'soaked with the rain that fell almost all day, the Americans moved slowly and cautiously, but almost continuousuly, across farms and past villages, among them Coulonges and Cohan. To the westward another force of Americans also was moving steadily through and around the NesleK wood and the rolling country east of the woods. To both the east and west of that part of the line held by the Americans and French were meeting with similar success.

Few prisoners were taken during the day, but one of them, a captain, admitted that the German artillery had been withdrawn. His story tended to confirm the stories of other men captured—that the Germans were determined to make their next big stand on the Vesle and not the Ardre and that their movements under way indicated the fortifying of Fismes as the center of the next fixed line of battle.

Stiff Fighting Expected.

It is not anticipated that the Germans will withdraw to the Vesle line without renewing their rear guards resistance, and its virtually unopposed advance will end quickly perhaps with stiff fighting on the higher ground just south of the Ardre in order to give the Germans more time for getting their artillery and stores across the river.

With only a slight advance in addition to that of the day^ heavy gun* of the allies will be in position to shell Fismes and any part or the line the Germans may determine to stand on, could immediately be made Uncomfortable.

Although the enemy's retreat on the whole has been successful and he has succeeded so far is extricating the greater portion of his armies from the salient, observers have witnessed conditions which they believe indicates that the Germans are moving more hastily than they desire. Huge clouds of smoke and dull explosions have come from St. Gille on the Ardre, a short distance south of Fismes, and other places nearer the allied front These told of the destruction of big ammunition dumps.

Fires also are visible *t eight or ten places as far as Fismes. That they

Retreat Is Rapid.

The retirement of the forces of'the German crown prince now appear# to be of a very rapid character.

There has not been a gfllat deal" of fighting, certainly not in the area southeast of Soissons and it is unlikely that any large captures of prisoner* will be reported.

Burning villages in the areas north of the Vesle river, between Muzon and St. Thierry, indicate that a further withdrawal of the German forces is intended. Fourteen large fires have been observed.

The important center of Fismes Is in flames and there are great conflagrations in two villages to th« northwest of that town.

FRENCH CONTINUE ADVANCE.

Aftar Taking Soissons Army Pushes On to Alsne, LONDON, Aug. 3.—On th* main battle front In the Solssons region, ths French after completing their occupa* tiort of Soissons, have occupied thf south bank of the Alsne between Pommiers and Venizel, a distance of approximately r. miles, advices received today show.

On the easternTy side of the Sols-sons-Rheims front, the line to whi^H allies have advanced runs, according to the latest advices, from Serzy-Et» Prln and Sivigny, both in the Ardr# valley to the highest point on the plateau between the Ardre and the Vesl# and thence to Rosnay, Oueux and Thillois and on to the Vesle at St. Brie* which is on the original lines.

The German hold on the west banlc of the Ancre in this region has been precarious, and it seemed to be tenable only if it were intended to be made usS of in the starting of an offensive. The retirement appears to indicate the abandonment of any attempt at an offensive in that quarter at present.
