BUILD IIP MERCHANT MARINE SAILORS

fBv Associated Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 With the view of building up the crews for merchant ships, Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board, today ordered that the deck crews of vessels operating from Atlantic and gulf ports, shall be composed of four ordinary seamen, graduated from the board's training service to every six able seamen. Tfie order was contained in a memorandum to managers of vessels operating under the board's authority and is a slight change from the labor agreement of Aug. 8, 1917, which provided that a vessel carrying six able seamen should also carry two ordinary seamen and two deck hands. The purpose of the change, it was announced, is to give men now entering the merchant marine a better opportunity to absorb quickly, under actual sea going conditions, the knowledge which will make them good sailors. "The rapid launching of new vessels necessitates a dilution of ship's crews so as to make the skilled men cover the largest number of vessels" says the memorandum, "and second, the employment on all vessels of graduates of the shipping beard training service." BRITISH WEDGE IContinued From Pace Gne.1 French trooos in smashing attacks are forcing the Germans back toward the important Peronne-Roye road. The advance Thursday was probably the greatest in territorial extent by the allies in one day since 1916. Amiens, as a result of the fighting up to the present, has been almost entirely relieved of the German menace and even the German artillery will have difficulty in reaching it. The important railway running north from Paris through Amiens and parralelling the allied battle front, can now be used again after being under the fire of German guns for four months. Ten thousand prisoners have been taken, according to unofficial reports reaching Paris. The allied losses thus far have been slight and the Germans have been slow and weak in counter attacks. The greatest enemy defensive asset machine guns, appears to have been very well squelched by the British tanks which swarmed through the German lines. Early Advances. In smashing through the German first lines on the 20-mile front from Morlancourt to Hargicourtfi or roughly, from Albert to Montdidier, the allies advanced as far as seven and onehalf miles in the center. The average advance was probably more than four miles. The most determined opposition has been encountered on the extremities of the fighting front. Morlancourt is still in German hands, although a desperate conflict was staged there Thursday. Artillery played little part in the surprise given the Germans by General Foch. Tanks were used in large numbers and, according to reports, most effectively. Cavalry was brought in late Thursday and succeeded in capturing several villages and in rounding up scores of prisoners. Field Marshal Haig has not reported on the captures of guns and prisoners, but announcement has been made officially in London that early Thursday, 7,200 Germans and 100 guns had been taken by the British and French. Later, unofficial reports bring the total of prisoners to more than 10,000, the French alone taking 3,000. Heaviest Penetration. Penetration of the enemy positions has been greatest south of the Somme to Plessiers. This is directly east of Amiens and Framerville, the farthest east reached by the British up to late Thursday, is seven miles from thei Peronne-Roye road. North of "the Somme, the British have had to fight hard for their gains and the same has been true of the French advance across the Avre. Once across the Avre, however, the French moved forward rapidly. The Peronne-Roye roads, with its parallel, line of railroads, runs north and south, east of the advancing allied line, which is bisected by the Amiens, and Laon railroad. It is the main enemy communication line. With this in allied hands or even in short artillery range the Germans south to Arras and almost to Rheims would be in great clanger. Montdidier, the pillar of the positions, where the battle front swings towards the east, is surrounded on three sides. Should Montdidier fall or the Peronne-Roye road be cut, the German situation between Arras and Rheims would be most difficult, military observers believe. . The first result probably would be a withdrawal from Montdidier to Rheims to the 'ine of the Oise and the Aisne or perhaps to part of the old Hindenburg line. The terrain before the allies is rolling and rather difficult of defense except north of the Somme. Important results already have been

EARLHAM SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSES College work of the Earlham summer school closes Friday. Examinations which were being held during Thursday and Friday completed the work of this department, but two more weeks will be required by the professional education department to finish that work. The summer school was most successful in every way, report the professors, and. in spite of the exceeding heat, the interest in class work remained until the last. RUBBER PILE NETS $125 FOR RED CROSS One hundred and twenty five dollars will be turned over to the Red Cross from the sale of the rubber pile that was collected in the Elks' yard. The rubber was sold to Henry Holzapfel. From now on the old rubber that anyone wishes to give to the Red Cross will be taken core of by the Day Nursery and will be collected in the same manner that paper and magazines are collected for the Day Nursery. GREEKS ARE MARRIED. Jim Katros and Miss Rena Nillevona were married Thursday evening at the bride's home on South Fifth street, using the Greek eremony. A Greek priest from Cincinnati officiated and a large number of persons from Cincinnati attended the wedding. After the ceremony the evening was spent in dancing, music, and refreshments were served. The celebration lasted until early morning. Katros is employed at the Chop House which is owned by his brother. achieved should the Peronne-Roye road not be reached at once. Marshal Foch has shown he controls tbe iniative and the forces to take the offensive. Also Amiens and the northern railroads are no longer under easy artillery range. The present allied lines form two pockets one to the north and one to the south, both of which become more insecure as the advance continues. Berlin says tho British have forced their way into the German positions between the Ancre and the Avre, hut gives no details. German counter attacks probably will be stronger now that the enemy knows where he is being menaced. Along the Vesle there has been little changes in the situation. The FrancoAmerican pressure continues and substantial forces are reported to be across the Vesle ready to continue the advance northward. The German position here depands somewhat, although not entirely, on the situation in Picardy. It is not yet in danger of being outflanked, but unless the allies are checked promptly in the north, a retirement to north of the Aisne would appear to be inevitable. 715 MAIN ST.

Men Who Neglect to Register Cannot Vote An idea prevails with many voters that they will vote at the coming election whether registered or not. In order to make the matter clear the section of the law covering that particu'ar point is quoted verbatim. After specifying certain grounds for challenge, the section further states: "Provided, that no person shall be allowed by the officers to vote at the election whose name is not registered, even though there be no challenge."

MANY H. S. GRADS TO ENTER COLLEGE Former high school students have been keeping J. H. Bentley, principal of high school, busy in the past week hunting up their credits for college entrance. Indications are that a large portion of the graduating class will enter college in spite of war times, according to Pi-incipal Bentley. Many stars will be added to the high school service flag as soon as school opens, stated the principal, and probably two more bulletin boards for the honor roll will be needed. Only the boys who have been in the high school since war was declared will be placed on these lists. There is no alumni service flag. SWIMMING CLASSES CONTINUE.

SINCE PIGS are now commonly fattened for market before maturity, they are growing rapidly as well as storing fat in their bodies. Consequently, their ration should supply mple protein and mineral matter for growth. Corn alone does not produce best results, but should be supplemented by concentrates placed before the hogs at all times in a self-feeder. A pig fed in this way should grow from a pound to a pound and six ounces in a day. Professor Evvard of Iowa states that pigs allowed free access to supplements such as tankage, linseed meal and wheat middlings, etc., show a remarkj able ability to balance their own ra tion. ' Whole corn alone, however, is wasteful. It is cur patriotic duty to utilize es much as possible of the human '

BELIEVE ROBBERS - ARE HEADED SOUTH

It Is thought that the men who robbed the South Side State bank at Indianapolis Thursday went through College Corner, Ohio, bound for Cincinnati about 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. They were seen on the angling read going into College Corner by Ross Witt and his wife who were sitting In their yard. There were three men in a low car answering the description given. They were driving at a terrific speed. A late telegram received here from authorities in Tuscola, Illinois, states that a 1918 Buick touring car was stolen there Thursday night. Since there is a direct road from Indianapolis to Tuscola, and from that city on to Chicago, It was thought the robbers might have taken that route.

AUTO SPEEDING CAUSES ACCIDENT William Hawekotte of the Wayne Candy company, will be brought before police court Saturday morning as a result of the accident late Friday mnrnlnff on a charsre of sneedine. said Chief Gorman. According to reports, Hawekotte was driving the delivery car east on North A street when a car passed him near the Star grocery on Fifth. After this he speeded up to a rate of at least twenty-five miles an hour and passed the car, but in doing so was on the left side of the narrow street, and as he came out onto Sixth street, struck the rear of the city civil engineer's car which was being driven by Lee W. Ridgeway, with such force that both cars swept across the street and crashed into a telephone pole on the south east corner of the street The rear wheel of the city engl neer's car was torn off and the steering apparatus of the Candy Company's car was greatly damaged, but no one was Injured and Hawekotte took all the blame for the acicdent. food in whole grains and to so combine the by-products that Iiogs will fara better than if fed whole grain. Though pigs require less salt than other farm animals, they 6bould b supplied with it regularly in a trough or small self-feeder. Pies crave char. coal, ashes, mortar, soft coal and many other crunchible" substances and a mixture of charcoal and mineral sa.lt should be furnished at all times. The improvement in commercial mixed feeds has been marked and rv peated tests now show that hog raisers who are not able to raise enough, feed for their swine are able to maka good profits by feeding by-product It Is a good business nronosition t feed a hog so that he will mature quickly. There is no profit in hogs which do not mature in less than the average time. J3 PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY.
