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.
Westminster Abbey Bombed
London. Westminster Abbey was
truck squarely by a bomb dropped
durine,a Zoppolin raid ovor London
August 1, but the bomb failed to ex
plode. Five Zeppelins participated In
the raid, two of which woro brought
down in flamos.
Gompers Will Head Mission
New York. Amorlca'a mlBslen to

Gompers, presldont of tho Ainorica'n

Jnnd, Franco and Italy to confor with
labor lenders. Mr. Gompers conferred
recently with Prosldent Wilson con
cerning tho mission. Socialism, ho do
dared, would occupy no part in delib
erations of the American dolegatos.
Ho addod thoro would bo no socialist
representation.

U-PIRATES USE GAT
Has the Same Effect as Muttard Gas
Now Being Used on tho
Western Front
Washington. 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.
Check Put on Hand Knitting
Washington. Hand knitting for tho
soldiers and sailors Is to bo checked
until tho war industries board can
survoy stocks and ascertain whothor
thoro Is enough woolon nnd worsted In
tho country for winter uniforms nnd
overcoats. Tho board directed apln

Tests Made by Scientists of
Harvard University.
Thnt many mnrlno plnnts cause sea
water to become nlkallne when ex
posed to sunlight Is definitely proved
through Interesting experiments de
vised by W. J. V. Osterhont and A. IT.

These gentlemen hnve found n war-
to measure accurately the Increased
alkalinity. 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.
