THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, ' AUGUST " 22, 1918. AMERICANS TO GUARD RAILWAY LINE IN SIBERIA .Will Provide for Operation of Trains Westward to Man . ehuria Station, Where 1) Clash Is Expected. By Associated Press. Vladivostok, Saturday, Aug. 17. At the request of General Dietreichs, the commander of the Czecho-Slovak force in Siberia, the head of the American forces is dispatching a lim jted t number of troops to occupy points along the railroad between here and Nikolsk. the junction point of the Trans-Siberian railway with the line running to Khabarovsk. This will "release several hundred of the Czcho-Slovaks for service on the ,Ussuri front. 1 Assuming that the Japanese will take responsibility for safeguarding the line from Nikolsk to Khabarovsk, there is an apparent need that the i Americans provide for the operation of the Trans-Siberian railway west ward' to Manchuria station, where a clash with the enemy is inevitable This operation would be under allied supervision and is. made possible through the presence of the party of I railroad experts under the leadership of John F. Stevens. This party in cludes ZMj men, among wtiora are railway executives. The allied commanders are im pressed with the tact that the 1,200 mile of single track line, which con stitutes the only communication be' tween the coast and the field of oper ation. it only 20 per cent efficient. It is recognized that, as a military measure, Vladivostok and its vicinity should be under martial law, which would insure the uninterrupted opera tion of the railroads and telegraph and protect the stores. .The third contingent of American troops arrived here last night Be , cause of the heavy rain, the Ameri cans -did not parade. ' - General Otanl, the commander-in- chief of the allied forces, has arrived. BRITISH PRESS : OH GERMAN HEELS . ' . ,',"..'. - (Cntlnm4 From rat On.) said one of the early prisoners', "so " we congratulated ourselves that we were not to be attacked, Just then a tank, followed by infantry rolled right over our position and I surrendered." Courcelles Taken by Tank. As tanks and men followed behind the sweeping barrage, the atmosphere became even more thick, for mixed . with the fog were great banks' of smoke from innumerable shells fired for just this purpose of increasing the protecting screen. . The German guns retaliated on the west, but there was sharp fighting at various points, where isolated posts . nueafcwith midline guns and gunners S-rot-op a stiff battle. At the little shell-ruined village of Courcelles, about the center of the battle front, the German garrison made dfspeYaJe. fight, and for a time the advance of the infantry was held up at this place. Then the tanks arrived on the scene and charged into the enemy po sitions, quickly transforming them from -strongholds to shambles. The tanks repeated this performance at other, places in the line where the stubborn bodies held out courageous ly. But their courage availed them nothing in the face of the great tanks, ' dipping in and out of shell holes and across trenches that have seen some of the war's fiercest fighting, and the smaller whippet tanks and armored carl, which sped over the ground at a great rate in their mission of clear ing the way for the infantry sweeping in at the rear of the positions from which, the enemy was working bis - guns.- . The village of Beaucourt was taken with hut three casualties. One wound ed men returning from the fight ing said he went in three kilometers through the enemy's lines before see ing a single boche. This is explained by the fact that the German posi tion! were very thinly .held t some toint. Prisoners Seem Pleased, A to prisoners there is no definite Information, but more than 1,000 have reached the cages and they have come ' in from a considerable distance, most of them having been captured during the early fighting. Some of the first prisoners arrived at the cages with handbags and long curved porcelain pipes, They seemed clean and were as pleased with themselves as if going on leave. One of them, on being questioned,, said he was very happy to be taken. A wounded British soldier told of beinr separated from his platoon in the ipg, but he pressed on neverthe less and joined other groups. One said that, plunging blindly through the fog, he ran directly into a Ger man machine gun, which opened fire on him. It. managed to get in one shot, taking off 'finger before -he and hts comrades finished off the Germans with their riflesj . ' . . In, the early forenoon the fig cleared away 'completely and the sun ap peared and ever since the battle has been progressing under a broiling sun. As the fog disappeared the roar of airplane .motors increased, the British machines pursuing the same tactics as at. the Somme, harassing the enemy at the rear and straffing the German troops generally, upset tiny them completely at many places. The fast little whippet tanks had ' as one tank officer said, gone out into the wide world, and there is no Joubt that they are exacting as great a toll , here aa they did .south of the Somme. The armored cars had gone into ac tion, operating far forward, chasing the boche from his many lairs and making quick work of those who would not run. j la this battle the advancing troops did .not stop a moment at their early " " objectives. Several formations joined forces and pressed' on together. Suc cessive echelons were merged at a place where the going was heavy. The battle continues with unabated fury and there is no sign that its con clusion is near. A SPLENDID NEXVE TONIC Hartford's Acid PttMphate IivrtroraUw tna tired nanra irtUn.

As a result of the allied successes during the last month the battle front in prance from Rheims to the North sea has been re duced in length more than 50 miles, General March told the newspaper men today in his midweek 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: First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth. Sixth. 26th. 27th, 28th, 29th. 30th. 32d, 33d 35th, 36th. 37th, 41st, 42d, 76th, 77th, 78th. 79th, 80th. 81st. 8Zd. 83d, 65th. 89th. 90th. 91st. 92d and 93d.

On the plains near the Oise the al lied advance has put the line well back ot the old 1916-1917 line.

Boucher, machine candidate for county attorney, dug himself out of a heavv snowdrift in which he wa caught. He came out smiling and de clared that it is all in a lifetime. "I met a friend on the street the other day," he related, "and he asked me how things were going. I told him that I was like the man who fell from a 20-story window and at the seventh story he told a man that he was all right as far as he had gone." Ditched by Machine. Boucher's low place in the list of six republican candidates for coun ty attorney was in part due to the manner in which the Smith-Howell-Dodge machine ditched him during the last few days of the campaign for another candidate. Boucher was inveigled into the race against his inclinations. Frank Dewey, who had no opposi tion in the republican county clerk race, received 6,900 votes.

WELSH, Meteorologiit. Tide of Defeat Still Surges Against Germans In France and Flanders By Associated Press. On four important sectors French and British arms again have been served and the entire German front from Ypres, in Belgium, to Sois sons, on the Aisne, now is more seriously menaced than before. What is to be the effect of the allied drives along the 120-mile battle front from Ypres to Soissons cannot be foretold at present, but it seems highly probable that this en tire front must be realigned. This particular menace to the Ger mans, aside from that in the ter ritory between the Somme and the Oise, appears to be on the sector along the Vesle river from Soissons ' to Rheims, which , from the war maps looks to be untenable. Even the Aisne and the Chemin-Des-Dames do not appear to be any too safe for a defense line if Gen eral Mangin presses much farther northwest of Soissons. FOUR FISHERMEN SUNK BY TRAWLER ARMED AS RAIDER Eighty Survivors Reach Port; Crew From Submarine Is Operating on Banks With Captured Craft. By Associated Press. A Canadian Atlantic Port, Aug 21. The operations of the steam trawler Triumph, manned by a crew from a German submarine, have resulted in the sinking of four fishing vessels and probably others, according to reports at hand tonight. The schooners known to have been sunk are the Una P. Saunders and the Lucille Schnare, of Lurienberg, N. S., the A. Piatt An drew of Gloucester, Mass., and the Francis J. O'Hara of Boston.' Their crews numbering 80 in all, had reached port safely tonight. A fifth vessel, the Pasadena, was in sight when the Lucille Schnare was sent down and it was believed that she shared the fate of the other fish ermen, although no direct news of her had been received. Great anxiety was felt here also regarding other vessels of the fishing fleet known to have been withm the scene of the raider's ac tivity. The Triumph, which left Portland, Me., last Monday for the western banks, was captured by a German sub marine at 2 p. m. yesterday. A crew of 16 men was placed on board and they lost no time in arming her with two gun's and beginning their work of havot among the fishermen. U-boat Prisoner Released; Washington, Aug. 21. Eight days spent as a prisoner on a German sub marine which was so overcrowded with men that there was scarcely room to sleep convinced Capt. David livans ot tne uritish steamer Peni stone, sunK Dy tne u-Doatrtnat more exploits like the arming of the fishing schooner Triumph are contemplated by the German raiders. On his visit here, where he reported his exoeri- ences to naval officers, Captain Evans explained that the submarine carried 77 men, more than twice the number of a normal crew.

I L.yJ RINGLEADERS OF RIOTING AT KOBE KILLEDON SPOT Many Persons Wounded in Dis turbances in Japan; Mobs Led by Anarchistic Ele ments of Empire. By Associated Press. . . Tokio, Aug. 21. The violence of the food riots and the rapidity with which they spread have astonished the Jap anese and have convinced them, though far removed from the center of the war, that they cannot escape its consequences nor remain un touched, by the world movements which the war has set in motion. No such disturbances have convulsed the nation since the .days of the restora tion. The movement appears to be entire ly economic and social and has no po litical aspect except as it is directed against the Japanese ministry, which is popularly regarded as bureaucratic. Aside from the protest against the prohibitive price of rice, anti-wealth demonstrations developed. The resi dences of a number of millionaires were burned and immense damage was done to the property of mer chants. Anarchistic elements frequently led the mobs, but there has been no evi dence of the bolshevik tendencies such as prevailed in Russia. The ringleaders of the rioting at Kobe, who, flourishing their swords led the mob, were killed on the spot. A large number of persons are re ported to have been wounded during the disturbances throughout the em pire. Seventy policemen are sa.d to have been injured at Nazoya alone. The mobs often were armed with re volvers, swords, daggers and clubs. Most of the' arrests were made by detectives who mingled with the crowds, chalking a cross on the backs of the ringleaders and then capturing them when the riots were over. General Bernhardi's Army Shattered by BritishAttack London, Aug. 21. The nresent series of German defeats have in volved a German officer who is per haps better known to the reading public of the allied nations than al most any of the German generals. He is General Iernhardi, author of the famous books which so frankly re vealed Germany's war aims. He com mands the SSth corps of the sixth army, which has been steadily driven back by the British across the plains of Lys toward Armentieres. Packers' Profits Are Regulated The public should understand that the profits of the packers have been limited by the Food Adminis tration since November 1, 1917. For this purpose, the business of Swift & Company is now divided into three classes: Class 1 includes such products as beef, pork, mutton, oleomargarine and others that arc essentially animal products. Profits are limited to 9 per cent of the capital employed in these depart ments; (including surplus and borrowed money), or not to exceed two and a half cents on each dollar of sales. Class 2 includes the soap, glue, fertil izer, and other departments more or less associated with the meat business. Many of these departments are in competition with outside businesses whose profits are not limited. Profits in this class are restricted to 15 per cent of the capital employed. Class 3 includes outside investments, such as those in stock yards, and the operation of packing plants in foreign countries. Profits in this class are not limited. Total profits for all departments together in 1918 will probably be between three and four per cent on an increased volume of sales. The restrictions absolutely guarantee a reason-. able relation between live stock prices and wholesale meat prices, because the packer's profit can not possibly average more than a fraction of a cent per pound of product Since the profits on meat (Class l) are running only about 2 cents on each dollar of sales, we have to depend on the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer (Class 2, also limited) and other departments, (Class 3) to obtain reasonable earnings on capital Swift & Company is conducting its business so as to come within these limitations.
