CONTROVERSY IN GERMANY OVER FOOD RATIONS

Granting of Extra Ration to Prussia Causes Discontent Over Country. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 A bitter newspaper controversery has arisen in Germany over the distribution of food, according to an official dispatch today from Switzerland. The discussion arose from the granting to the population of Berlin a supplementary ration of fifty grammes and this has provoked keen discontent not only in Bavaria and Saxony, but even in Prussia, and above all in agricultural districts. The Berlin Morgenpost says: "The e'nemy is following with intense interest, the success of the starvation war that was brought against us. Do not let us give him the plea sure of proving that a mouthful of bread more suffices to mobilize Ba varia and Saxony against Berlin and that Bavaria and Saxony can even find allies in Prussia against the cap ital of the kingdom. Is it really nec essary to provide such a spectacle for the enemy and thus to supply his own mill with water as it were? It is en couraging him to continue the war of starvation and to tighten the blockade." The Kruz Zeitung says that the best way of playing the enemy's game is to give privilege to Berlin. The economical distress is just as acute in Saxony as in Hamburg for example or in the Westphalen Rhenish district as at Berlin. It asserts. that nowhere is there such a bad feeling as at Ber lin, where patriotism and the spirit of sacrifice are particularly lacking. Bavaria Drained of Food. AMSTERDAM. July 30 Stringent measures have been taken in Bavaria to prevent the country being drained of all foodstuffs by hungry Prussians. In six months the Bavarian authorities, acting under military law, seized over 38,000 parcels of hand baggage containing 133,203 dozens of 'eggs and 262,500 pounds of butter, cheese, flour and meat. This was a result of random examinations of baggage carried by holiday makers and other travelers. Far more severe restrictions are now to be Imposed. MILLS COMMENDED FOR W. S, S. RESULTS Joseph H.

French Troops Sweep Huns Continued From Page One elles, two miles east of Montdidier, compelled the retreat here. - One important result has already followed the allied plunge in the Somme region east of Amiens. The important Paris-Amiens railway by way of St. Just, use of which was blocked by the proximity of the German line, was working again last night. American troops have been thrown into the fighting in the great battle in the Amiens-Somme district. They succeeded in overcoming a stiff resistance and helped the British capture important positions in an attack launched yesterday between the Ancre and the Somme. The American machine gunners and infantry went into battle with their traditional enthusiasm. They met the Germans and defeated them here just as they did along the Marne. At places stiff resistance developed, but all along the line the Americans, British and French smashed through the harassed enemy who was trying to hold up their advance. The enemy seemed to be retreating today all along the battle line in Picardy, especially in the center where he is being heavily attacked by the British. In the course of the fighting a German divisional headquarters and its staff were captured. British tanks have been seen well to the east of Meharicourt. Streams of German transports are still going eastward. Two new German divisions have been engaged by the advancing allies. Chipilly spur, north of the Somme, was captured by the Americans and British troops, supported by tanks and preceded by a barrage fire. The enemy was driven toward Bray, northeast of Chipilly.

Their main positions east of Amiens shattered by the Franco British thrust, the Germans continue to retreat with the allies in close pursuit. Enemy resistance on the extremities of the attacking front has been broken and latest reports from the battle fjont say the enemy is retiring in great haste. Aerial observers say the Germans are in full retreat eastward across the Picardy plains toward the old Hindenberg line. German ammunition dumps are being blown up. The allied line has now been driven forward in the center more than 11 miles and the maximum advance is 13 miles made by the French. The apex is six miles wide and runs from Ranecourt to Warvillers. The important Peronne-Roye high road and railway is within snort cannon range and British scouts re reported within one i mile of Chaulnes, the middle point of the Peronne-Roye line. Railroads Trains Left. That the Germans were surprised by Marshal Foch's new manoeuvre be1 comes increasingly more evident. I Much material and supplies were left behind and even entire railroad trains, j including one loaded with troops were captured by the onrushing British. Deveropments Friday included not only the advance of the blunt apex by five miles, but the smashing of the Germans' resistance on the 'ends of the battle line. North of the Somme, the French have been meeting with bitter resistance, but they have captured Morlancourt, the axis of the German link between the Somme and Albert. On the north bank of the Somme they lost Chipilly to the Germans while moving forward on the southern bank to Morcourt. The French extended their gains south along the Avre toward Monddidier by taking Pierrepont. Courtemanche, a mile northeast of Montdidier, but on the opposite bank of the Avre, also has been occupied. Plan Extension of as Unit Tor WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. Organization of a million young men to do industrial work, take military training in preparation for later army service, and at the same time attend specially arranged technical or vocational schools is planned by the government as a means of dealing with the growing shortage of labor without drawing them from their schooling. The corps will develop through extension of the U. S. Working Reserve, which already has enrolled 250,000 youths betwen the ages of 16 and 21, engaged mainly this summer in farm work. Many of these boys will go back to school this fall but a large proportion, together with others to be enrolled will be directed into industrial work to fleil up thr vacancies left by men now being drafted for the army. These boys are to be organized as units in each company, serving under an aduft training officer, taking courses of study in night schools, or by some other systematic program, living either at home or in camps and wearing the uniform of the reserve corps, which will be of gray cloth with roll collar jacket. Another feature of the program for drawing on the great reservoir of youth labor, involves the postponing of the opening date of the school courses to about October 15, far the boys now at work on the farms throughout the country. This will apply only to those boys and not to all pupils. Definite plans are now being worked out through the federal bureau of education. Regular Army Training. Regular army officers may be assigned to train units of the working reserve, to direct the establishment of special courses which will prepare the youths for technical services in the army when they reach the draft age. Without this plan for an industrial army of youths, hundreds of thousands of boys would quit school this fall and winter, according to W. . E. Hall, director of the Boys Working Reserve, to take jobs as helpers in industrial plants, and their education, which is considered vitally essential to success later as soldiers and in civilian life, would be curtailed. It was to remedy this prospective situation, examples of which might be taken from the exper British Carry Out Raid on Austrian Line fBy Associated Press.! LONDON, Friday, Aug 9. An official statement on British operations on the Italian front issued today said: "Thursday night our divisions carried out simultaneous raids into the Austrian defence system between Aviago and Canove. The operation was successful despite vigorous enemy opposition. The enemy suffered heavy casualties and 315 prisoners, six machine guns, three trench mortars, a searchlight and five pack mules were captured. Our casualties were light. "Airman brought down 11 hostile machines and one balloon."

Rainscourt, the fartherst point east claimed by Field Marshal Haig, is five miles east of a line drawn north and south through Montdidier. Only one supply train remains for the Germans in the Montdidier salient, and this is under the cross fire of the allied guns. Expect Further Withdrawal. Apparently the Germans have made little effort at prolonged defense in the center and Berlin makes no claim that they have. How effective was the first allied smash Thursday is shown by the German report of the fighting that day which says the allies reached the artillery lines. Allied capitols look for further withdrawal in other parts of the line as a result of the thrust in Picardy, and a continuation of the retirement in Flanders which possibly may wipe out the salient there. Opinion in Washington is that Marshal Foch has challenged the German command to fight it out or retire. It is believed that the enemy must send in all available reserves or admit defeat and withdraw to the lines he held on March 21. or still further. The allied advance in Picardy has had no apparent effect on the German positions between the Vesle and the Aisne. The enemy still cling to the hills north of the Aisne and has made attacks north of Rheims which were repulsed. Across the Vesle from Fismes the Americans have occupied Fismes and added still another bridgehead to the position north of the river, which is being enlarged rapidly. Pres

sure on the remaider of the sector continues. British and French diplomatic agents are reported to have been arrested in Moscow by the Bolsheviki and Great Britain has demanded the release of R. H. B. Lockhardt, the leader of the British contingent. Premier Lenine-is reported unofficially to have sent an ultimatum to Japan regarding Siberia. Boys9 Reserve Industrial Service ience of England, of France and Ger many that the government now plans combining schooling, military training and productive employment of the nation's boys. If the draft age minimum is reduced to 19 as is proposed by Secretary Baker, youths aboue that age would cease to be eligible to membership in the working reserve. Consequently, officials contemplate extending the lower ages for accepting boys for the work corps from 16, the present mini mum, to 15 or 14 years. Boys who serve in the working sorps are to receive medals and service records, representing official .recognition by the United States government of their value in the war emergency, Development of the project is as signed to the department of labor, under which the boys' working reserve now operates, and enlistment in the corps will be entirely voluntary. Automobile Notes "It is safe to say that there has never been any factor which has been of more aid in the development of the country than the automobile," says Fred Bethard, local dealer in Chevro let automobiles, "and it is easy to see that the motor car is assuming greater importance and becoming more indispensable each day. "One future effect of this growing popularity of the automobile with the farmer will certainly diminish, al most to the vanishing point, the many differences which used to exist be tween the city and the country. No one would think of picturing the farmer of today as the inferior of his city brother in worldly goods, intelligence, or ability to travel. In reality, he is quite the reverse: well-posted and well-read, and it must be admitted that the automobile hap been largely responsible for this change. "The automobile gave him an opportunity of getting in touch with the surrounding country in which he lives. He is able to visit his neighbors oftener. He goes to town much more than he used to. He is in touch with the outside world. He is no longer alone. "It is easy to see what afl essential thing the automobile is to the man in the country. It has brought him close to everything desirable. He is no longer an isolated outsider. "But as a matter of fact, the automobile is an essential everywhere, In town or country, in the city or on the farm. Its ever increasing popularity proves this conclusively. And the automobile is popular because it is useful because it performs efficiently a mission' which before its event was unfilled. As a utility it has rightfully earned its place in the life and affairs of our people. The business man of today, whether he is a farmer, a manu-' facturer or a merchant -is effecting economies with the aid of his automobile that he never even dreamed possible.

RECASTING OF DRAFT RULING IS CONSIDERED

Government, Instead of Registrant, to Make Exemption Claim. ' WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. New draft regulations, under which the government would do the selecting rather than leaving It to the registrant are under serious consideration by the War Department. This was disclosed Friday by Secretary Baker after he had appeared before the Senate Military Comimttee, to urge prompt enactment of the new selective service act, extending the age limits to include all men between the ages of 18 and 45. The War Secretary made it plain that he is not satisfied with, the present system, under which the registrant must claim deferred classification, as many men with dependents hesitate for patriotic reasons to make such a claim. In this connection Mr. Baker said he was inclined to the opinion that the marriage relation will in itself constitute deferred classification. What Mr. Baker has in mind is to lay down a set of questions which the registrant would answer and then have rules which would take care of the classification. He Is understood to regard this as the fair and equitable system. Create Two Classes, The War Secretary contemplates dividing all registrants into two classes so far as those in Class 1 go. The first would be composed of men between 18 and 19 years, and the second of those between 19 and 45 years. The object is to provide that the eighteen year old class shall be drawn upon only when the man power situation makes it absolutely necessary. The discussion on the draft ages before the Senate Comimttee, Mr. Baker said, followed much the lines taken by General March, chief-of-staff, and Provost Marshal General Crowder. The committee, he added, did not indicate any disposition to question the necessity for the change, which is urged so that the Wer Department can quickly secure the men necessary to win the war. 12 MORE DRAFTEES GALLED TO SERVICE A call has been received at the local conscription board for 12 white men to go to Camp Custer. Michigan. They will entrain within five days after August 26. The quota for Indiana is 2725. It is expected that, this call will take all the men in Class 1 of 1917 registrants that this board has.
