"i BED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF It r W' I h r h 8' h . i!; L. LI r h V, lu: ?r. s THEWmS. Ml IWASHINGTON IS FORMALLY AD VISED OF FORMATION (OVER QUARTER MILLION MEN INow Holds a Portion of the Battle Front Somewhere "8outh of the Marne" Washington. Secretary Baker has 1eon formally ndvlHid by General (Pershing that tho ilrst American flold army had boon croated. The dispatch added nothing to details of the army organization already made known from Paris, Formation of tho army means that the Americanization of a definite por tion of tho front 1h completed. Tho only statement of tho location of this front given Is that It Is "south of tho Marne." Presumably this means n part, at least, of tho long line from St. 'Mihlol to tho Swiss border whero American troops have beon put In at Intorvals during tho last few months. Tho extent of that front has not bcrn disclosed, nor has tho definite strength of tho army been given. Tho advices indicate that It comprises, howovcr, flvo full corps, which means approxi mately 250,000 inon. Tho American sector includes what already hnB been considered tho logi cal road to Berlin. It was across Hues now hold by Americana that tho French struck in 1014 beforo tho plunge of tho Gorman nrmy through Belgium localized tho war in northern Franco. While tho onemy Is Btlll In northern Franco It may bo that no major attack can bo attempted through theso gate ways. Tho campaign In Picardy and at the Marno, however, aro aimed at forcing him back until tho opportunity comes to drive back at him and it is regarded by officers here that It will be over the American lines that the real thrust at Germany will bo driven home. Again Urged to Intervene San Ffanclsco. A committee repre senting international labor unions has called nt tho White IIouso nnd left a memorial nsklng Prosldent Wilson to Intorvono again In behalf of, Thomas J. Moonoy, under Bontonco of death In California for connection with tho Preparedness day parado bomb ex plosion In San Francisco In July, 191C. In tho event of n refusal by tho govornor of Callfornin, tho president 1s urged to compel Moonoy'a release ns, a war measure, under authority of his power as commander In chief. Moonoy's execution, tho memorial do- clarps, would bo n serious obstaclo to fulfillment of tho president's plans for aiding tho Russian people? Man-Power Bill Reported Washington. With a broad "work or fight" amendmont designed to pro- vent strikes and a provision for edu cation of youths under twenty-one serving In the military or naval servlco at government expense after tho war, the administration man-power bill, In cluding all men between eighteen and forty-flvo, has been ordorcd favorably reported by tho senate military com mittee. Ono amendment provides that any person placed in deferred or ex empted class shall not bo entitled to remain there unless ho shall con tinue to work and follow such occu pation. No Desire to Stop Knitting New York. Tho action of war in dustries board in halting the produc tion of yarn for knitting in order to conserve wool for army uniforms may rumm in mo nea uross getting loss wool thnn It noeds, but docs not moan a comploto stoppage of knitting in American Red Cross work rooms, ac cording to officials of tho Atlantic di vision. They interpreted tho board's order to mean that after an inventory of tha country's wool supply had been made production would bo resumed nnd tho Red Cross would recelvo Its nllotmont. Prisoner Exchanne Aoreement Wa8hIngton.Formal acceptance by Germany of tho American proposal for a conforence on treatment nnd ex change of prisoners at nemo, Swltzor land, "the middle of Soptom'ber," has boon transmitted to the Btnto depart nient through tho Spanish forolun office. The United Statos has appoint, ed delegates beaded by Minister Gar rett at tho Hague to attend the con forence. Questions relating toTiitcrn d civilians also will be discussed.

Gas from oil dis charged on the water by tho Gorman submarine- operating off tho middle Atlantic coaBt ovcrcamo six men In tho coast guard station and llghthouso on Smith's Island, North Carolina, tho navy department was advised by tho commandant of tho sixth naval dis trict. If the attack was deliberate, as most ofllccrs bollovcd, It consti tuted a new nnd Ingenious form of "frightfulness" nnd, bo far ns has beon roportod, was tho first direct effort of tho Gorman raiders to harm persons or property on American shores, Tho gaa was said by tho commandant of tho coast guard station to have much tho samo effect as tho mustard gas usod by tho Germans on tho western front. The men wero laid out for inoro than half an hour, but appar ently Buffered no serious nftoroffects. Tho dispatch relating tho gaa at tack was ono of a series concerning German submarine warfare- ort tho At lantic, coast received during tho day by tho navy department. Ono told of nn attack on a siibmarlno ono hun dred miles east of tho Virginia coast by an American destroyer, which dis charged seventeen depth charges whero the raider was seen to sub mergo. Tho result of tho nttack was not determined, but aftor oil had ap peared on tho surfaco of tho water, two bombs wero dropped on tho spot and tho submarine was not bcch again. U-Boats Sink Fishermen Boston. Two submarines raided the finning flcot'on Georges banks nnd tho crows of tho fishing schooners Old time nnd Cruiser probably wero lost when their boats wero sunk by gun fire without warning. Tho Scnnott was also sunk by gunflro and shells wero flrod at tho boats when thoy wero putting away, tho fisherman said. Tho Sonnott, Oldtlmo and Cruiser wero fishing in tho samo neighborhood when tho Sennott's lookout noticed two submarines several miles away. As tho underwater boats apparently woro paying no attention to tho fishermen at tho tlmo, tho Sonnctt's crow con tinued fishing after putting water and provisions in tho boats as a precau tionary measure. Tho first intima tion tho fishermen had that tho sub marines woro hostllo was ""hen a shell suddenly crashed Into tho sido of tho 01dtime. Sho turned over nnd sank so quickly that tho Sennet's crow wore certain tho men could not havo es caped. Remains Mystery of the Sea Now York. Loss of tho American naval collier Cyclops remains' tho mystery of tho war. Secretary Dan iels told newspaper correspondent!! when asked regarding reports that n nessngo saying tho Cyclops had beon captured by a German submarlno that ho navy department had no Informa tion regarding such a message. Noth ing in this war is Impossible, tho socrotary sald when asked If tho Cyclops could havo beon taken to Germany ns a prlzo, but ho added that it did not seem within tha realm of probability that such a craft could havo passed botweon tho cordon of British and American naval vessels. Prisoner List Very Large London. Tho contrast betwoon tho number of prisoners taken and tho allied casualties is regarded as re markable. For Instance, tho cas ualties of tho entlro allied forces wero considerably loss than the total prlsonors tnken. When it Is understood that this battlo has not beon waged for tho purpose of taking prisoners, tho casualties Inflicted on tho Germans must havo reached a largo flguro.

WATER COLORED BY PLANTS Interesting Discovery the Result of Tests Made by Scientists of Harvard University.

Without going Into details, It may be said that this consists In Im mersing u green senweed In n glass tube of snlt wnter to which n few drops of phenopthnloln have been add ed. After exposure to sunlight, the water turns pink, nnd the degree of plnkness, measured by matching against the colors of n series of tubes containing the samo concentration of Indicator In n series of "buffer solu tions" of known alkalinity, gives the qunntlty of alkali produced by the no tion of tho sunlight.
