JAPANESE RIOTS OVER FOOD COST STILL CONTINUE

Many Killed and Injured in Disturbances Caused by High Price 6f Rice. (By Associated Press) TOKIO, Saturday, Aug. 17 Disturbances in the campaign against the high price of rice continue and there have been many clashes throughout Japan, some of which resulted seriously. The government has compromised with the newspapers concerning reports of the disturbances and is permitting the publication of two official bulletins daily. The first bulletin on the situation in Tokio province during the last three days explains that separate mobs in Tokio, varying in size from 300 to -t n . . . i 1 a 1 j 1 ' ' xu.uuu, auacitea ana aamageu ponce boxes, rice stores and Geisha houses and attacked the Seiyoken hotel and the building of the ministry of communications and commerce. Other buildings and automobiles and tramways were the objects of mob anger. Police and troops eventually dispersed the mobs. Large gatherings were held in Tokio Friday night but there was no rioting. Reports of rioting in eighteen prefectures in addition to Kyoto and Nagoya are referred to in the bulletin. Disturbances occurred in the prefectures of Shiga, Kukushima. Okurma, Hiroshima, Wakama and Kagawa. The bulletin emphasizes that the disturbances at Nagoya were in the outskirts of the city. A police station and a postoffice building were raided and three policemen wounded. A determined attack was made on the police and military at Wakama and one rioter was killed and several policemen were wounded seriously. Some mercantile houses were attacked and plundered and bluejackets were dispersed after a struggle. Newspaper despatches from Kobe say that in fighting there, four members of mobs have been killed and three bayoneted by the soldiers. It is claimed that socialists are inciting the mobs to violence at various places.

Attack of French

in Big Strategic Plans of Foch,

By Associated Press.) PARIS, August 21. The new French attack by General Man gin on a 25kilometre front threatens, according to the latest reports, the fall of Noyon, which slowly is being outflanked. The attack, while lacking the element of surprise, has overcome the carefully prepared positions of the enemy. On his advanced lines the enemy had a formidable array of machine guns, forming a shield for his real line of defense. Thus, be had two zones of combat. The new German defensive plan has been completely undone and the enemy has been forced to seek new positions for defense. "The German army has lost its liberty of action," says Lieut. Col. Fabry, military critic of the Paris Oui, "and this plainly has been brought about by the entente high command." The new offensive, it is believed here, will give the French complete control of the valleys of the Oise, Ailette and Aisne in the quadralateral of Ribecourt, Noyon, Bichancourt and Soissons. Much terri'ory, filled with strong positions, however, is yet to be won. The strategy of General Mangin in first clearing the enemy's shield of machine guns before the big attack forces the enemy to rely now on picked divisions. PICKING ROYE POCKET. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. With the immediate objective of accomplishing what officers here term the "picking" of the Roye pocket, the advance of the Frrnch between the Oise and Aisno Ivers has passed in the opinion Of irit;'-y observers from the realm of NEW ATTACK Continued From Page One. mans should retire in Picardy, probably to the old Hindenburg line, and withdraw 'from the Vesla, at least to the Chemin Des Dames. With the French north of the Oise both these enemy positions would be outflanked. Apparently the Germans realize the possibilities of the new allied operation as there are resisting most stubbornly. Ready for Counter Attack. Berlin reports that it anticipated a French blew north of the Aisne and the Germans are reported to have prepared for a counter attack. ' The French, however, surprised them and gained on Tuesday a half score of villages and captured 8,000 prisoners, bringing their total for the three days to 10,000. The German war office says that the French attack broke down. East of the Oise, on the left of the attacking line, the French have reached the Ourscamp forest and have taken Carlepont. The line then swings northeast and the French are reported unofficially to have captured the important heights at Mont De Choisy and Cuts, and to have crossed the ridge north of V'assens. On the right flank the French line runs north-northwest from Soissons, and is being driven forward to a line north from Soissons, which would be a serious threat to the enemy position north of the Vesle. The French and Americans continue their pressure along the Vesle, but the heavy fighting has not yet spread to the east of Soissons. Use Machines in Defense. As in the fighting west of the Oisa the Germans are depending upon machines for a major part of their defense. Apparently the enemy has taken his cannon to north of the Oise. Between the Somme and the Oise the fighting has died down somewhat. The French have completed the capture ot Beauvraignes and can now debcuch over the low lying ground east of the village in a movement in an effort to outflank both Roye and Lassieny. In Monday's operations west of the Oise General Humbert took 500 prisoners. In the north the British are striking the enemy in local thrusts astride the Scarpe and the Lys. East of Arras the British have pained ground north of the Scarpe, while repulsing German efforts south of the river. On a five mile front in the Merville sector of the Lys salient, Field Marshal Haig has pushed farther eastward. The village of L'Epinette, which marks an advance of four miles from the old apex of the salient is in the hands of the British. Heavy Fighting to South. Marshal Foch now is keeping the Germans busy on the entire front from southeast of Ypres to Soissons but the heaviest fighting is confined to the southern end of the line. The allies thrusts at various points from the Oise to Lys tend to keep the Germans in a "jumpy" condition and in a dilemma as to the most advantageous place for their reserves. The allied activity confirms military observers in the belief that Marshal Foch intends to retain the advantages of the initiative in further actions. Except in the Woevre where American troops repulsed a German raid, there has been no fighting activity elsewheie. American naval aviators have carried out the first American aerial offensive against German submarine bases in Belgium. Ostend was bombed successfully on Aug. 15, but details of the operation are lacking. MASKED MEN HO BANK AT BYRANT PORTLAND, Ind., Aug. 21 The Farmers and Merchants Bank at Bryant, Ind., near here, was help up by three masked men during the noon hour today and robbed of between $4,000 and $5,000. The men escaned in an automobile which was waiting in the roadway. Three Wives Sign Waivers, so Husbands Can Serve The wives of three draftees have signed waivers releasing their husbands for service. These women are Mrs. Harry McMinn, Mrs. Paul Chris- j topher, and Mrs. Thomas Wood. Each I family has a little girl. Harry McMinn, South Twenty-first street will go to Camp Sherman between the 26 and 31 of August. Paul Christopher, West Main, will go to Valparaiso Aug. 28 and Thomas Wood R. ft. B. will go to Camp Sherman.

Holds Place

a local operation to -the first stage of a small major op'ntr it is held, the attack of the French Tenth Army under Geueiai iiubai has a specific place In the larger strategic plan3 f Marshal Foch. With an initial average advance of 2 miles over a front of 15 miles and the capture of 8,000 prisoners, the efforts of the French are said to be aimed at "picking" the Roye pocket an.dthe gaining of the supply lines between that city and Noyon. Should the advance continue, some officers i here see the taking by the allies of J Noyon and the breaking down of the German defensive line over a long front. Having taken the initiative, the operations cf the last few years prove conclusively, it was said today, that Marshal Foch does not intend to allow the nriviieee of offensive action to pass in the least from allied hands, j Some strategists here expect this fact to be seen soon in operations of con siderable magnitude in the north, especially by the British army east of Arras. BATTLE FRONT REDUCED MORE -THAN 50 MILES German Line Now Less Than 200 Miles 32 U. S. Divisions Overseas. (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. As a result of the allied successes during the past month the battle front in France from Rheims to the north sea has been , reduced in length more than 50 miles, General March told the newspaper J men today in his mid-week conference. When the Germans began their last advance the line stretched for 250 miles. It is now less than 200 miles. General March enumerated 32 American divisions as having arrived in France. They are as follows: 1st, 2d, 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 32d, 33d, 35th, 36th, 37th, 41st, 42d, 76th, 77th, 78th, 79th, 80th, 81st, 82d, S3d, 85th, 89th, 90th, 91st, 92d and 93d. The success of the enlarged American program for the war department, General March said, still is dependent upon the acquisition of adequate shipping and while the emergency fleet corporation is constantly swelling the tonnage at the army's disposal, it still is necessary to charter and hire many additional ships. In commenting upon the shipping situation General March divulged for the first time the fact that Erazil had given a ship to the United States without compensation of any sort for two trips. He aid that so far as he knew this was the only case of the kind on record.

Minister Gives Lectures to Help Pay For Liberty Bonds

Roy L. Smith, who delivered the afternoon lecture on "The High Cost of Low Living" Wednesday afternoon, is the pastor of the St. Paul's Methodist church of Chicago, and is spending two weeks of his vacation on the Chautauqua platform, "to help pay for some of my liberty bonds." as he put it. His tour will end Sunday. For two years Rev. Smith was associate pastor with Dr. Frank Gun6aulus of Chicago, who has spoken in this city a number of times. "Health is the most contageous thing in the world," said Rev. Smith in his lecture. "There are more agencies fighting for health than for anything else in the world today." "The triumvirate of good health, which is one of the elements in the high cost of low living, is fresh air, sleep and sunshine," according to the lecturer, "and John D. has no monopoly on them. "Schools are the greatest bargain counters on earth," he maintained.
