By Associated Press. int oerman battle line ,n r ranee is Vtilf crumbling under the impetus of .he attacks of the British iiid French.

Field Marshal Haig'a men have continued their victorious thrusts.

Nowhere is the enemy being remitted to paute for breath, ihe armies of Haig, Margin and Humbert are pressing their ad vantage with a strength that brooks no denial of their efforts. j 5,000 Prisoners in Two Days. Thousands of prisoners nnmsrqus guns ana machine guns and large stores of war supplies have been added to the stocks already in allied hinds. To the British alone In the past two nays of fighting have come more than 5.000 prisoners. . Under the further progress ot the French armies from the vicinity of Lassigny to Soissons a mighty wedge seemingly has been driven in between the armies of General von Boehn and the German crown prince. Over the entire. front the Germans have been farther pushed back, at some places from two to three miles, and in the retrograde movement the enemy was forced to Abandon large numbers of guns. Noyon is now all but envel oped. The Divette river has been reached and both the Oise and the Ailette rivers have been crossed and the onward thrust of "the French on the eastern end of the line from Sois sons northward seems likely to bring About shortly the outflanking of the important town of Laon Viewed in all its aspects, the allied offensive seemingly shows that Gen eral Foch now has the initiative en tirely in his own hands and that he purposes to press his advantage for the little more than two months of good fighting weather that remains before the winter season sets in. In deed, it is not improbable that he may elect to keep after his quarry even when the cold descends. Foch now has a greatly strengthened army and is obtaining from across seas the strength in splendid manpower that will permit him. to work out his strat egy m his own time. C. E.

E. R. TARRY - 240 Bee WORK AT MUNICIPAL ICE PLANT TONIGHT (Continued From Page One.) under construction, with a capacity of 9,000 tons. The ice will be made in tanks which are ,60 feet long, six feet deep arid 30 feet wide In these large tanks a brine is circulated in sluice-lilte spaces to keep the brine temperature even. Into this brine 1,200 cans are lowered, each can having a wooden cover. The brine is used as a cold circulating medium around the cans of water, because water at the same temperature of 16 degrees above zero would freeze and would not give the desired results. Through the brine are many coils of pipe into which ammonia is allowed to escape from a compressor. When the ammonia leaves the compressor it is at a temperature of about 10 de grees above zero. As it expands on its journey through the coils it gathers up the heat along the way until it goes into a gas at 200 degrees above zero, finally escaping into condenser, where it is placed unde high pressure and transformed back into liquid form for use again. Th freezing process is caused by expan sion of ajimonia in the coils and low enng the temperature of the bnn wnicn in turn treezes the water in the cans. Use Electric Hoists. When the ice is ready, two cans are lifted out by an electric hoist which travels over to a truck As the cans are emptied of ice they are imme diately refilled with water which ha been softened by a process for the elimination of impurities. During the freezing process air is allowed to en ter the cans through small tubes, otherwise the ice would have a whit ish appearance. When the plant shall have been in lull operation, the ice will be m va rious stages of freezing, according to the amount taken out of the cans dur ing a day. J. W. Watts of Canton. O.. repre Renting an ice machine company, has been installing the aooaratus. On Thursday afternoon he explained to visitors that one particular can would not turn out 400-oound cakes of ice because the can had not been made that way. This can will yield cubes of ice one inch square. Mr. Watts ex plained that every ice plant has a can tit this pattern. "In some parts of the world the na tives arink a concoction known as 'highball,' and these inch-Square cubes of ice lend themselves readily to the drink I have referred to, Mr, Watts explained. GERMAN DEAD IN HEAPS ON FIELD (Continued From rage One.) tured. In comparison with those taken yesterday, the prisoners today were tired, dirty, hungry and thirsty, Among them was an Austrian artil lery officer, who arrived at the cages with all the elegance that usually sur rounds officers in Emperor Charles' army, iie had his soldier servant with him, but the servant got lest in the mixup and, much to the annoy ance of both man and master, they were, put into separate cages Incidentally the German prisoners took occasion to make fun of the Austrian soldier. The Austrian officer said he had been at the front for a month with a battery of Austrian guns. In response to questions, he declared that he did not dislike the Germans. "You may think it queer of me, but f managed to get along all right with them," he remarked. Commander in Cage. Among other prisoners was a bri gade commander, who when captured was about to telephone back for artil lery support. Just at that moment a stocky British soldier put his head in the window and informed the commander that he was a prisoner. Later on, after the commander had reached the prisoners' cage, one by one his officers began to arriveat the same place. The commander stood at the gate and with a smile and a handshake welcomed each newcomer. FISTULA CURED Rectal OiaeaiM Curat without a Tr ur- iclraj operation. No Chloroform or Ethrr used.

INDUSTRIES MUST FURNISH MILLION WAR WORK MEN Employers in 24 Classes Re garded Nonessential 'Work Called Upon Jo Release . 'Unskilled Labor. - Washington, Aug. 22. The fact that there is now a shortage in war work of 1,000,000 unsiklled laborers, and that the reserve of skilled work ers is exhausted, developed today at a conference of field agents of the federal employment service. Further curtailment of nonessential"' produc tion is planned to release men for war work. The labor shortage is so serious that completion of a number of im portant war projects for the army and navy is being delayed, it was stated at the conference. The field agents decided that the only way in which the needed laborers could be obtained was to take them from non essential industry. Business as Usual Impossible. "The time has come for the entire nation to realize that business as usual is .no longer possible," Nathan A. Smith, assistant director ' of the employment service, told the confer ence. "If we are to 'end the war quickly the production of luxuries and nonessentials in this country must come to an end. It is a question of ending the war quickly or having it dragged on indefinitely." Work Held Nonessential. Following are the industries which the district board, the first to make an announcement, has listed as non essential: Automobile industry accessories, drivers of pleasure .cars, cleaning, re pairing and delivery of same, sight seeing cars, auto trucks other than those hauling fuel or doing govern ment work, teaming other than de livery of products for War work, bath and barber shop attendants, bcrwlirlg, billiard and pool rooms, bottlers and bottle supplies, candy manufacturers, cigars and tobacco, cleaners and dyers, clothing, confectioners and THOMPSON.BELDEN - CQ Qhe (fashion Center Jbr Basement Bargains Friday Forty-seven white cotton gabardine and pique skirts, former price up to $2.95. : Friday, 98c Remnants of Wash Goods Dres3 voiles, gingham, ba tiste, foulards, cretonnes, chailies, etc. Good lengths and patterns suitable for dresses, chil dren's wear, comforts.

Conaway German Papers Admit 1,300,000 Americans Already Are in France Amsterdam, Aug. 22. At last the German press has given up strug gling against the truth. In a short notice, which appears in virtually all the papers, the identical nature of which suggests official inspiration, the reluctant admission is mad that Secretary Baker's figures regarding the strength of the American forces in France are about correct. The papers now comfort them selves with the thought that of the 1,300,000 or more Americans only 400,000 are actually in battle array, with 300,000 behind the front, and that the remaining 600,000 are etap pen troops, engineers, railway men and general workers. delicatessen establishment. rmilrW- and contractors not engaged in erec tion or structures tor war work, danc ing academies, mercantile stores. florists, fruit stands, junk dealers, liv ery and .sales stables, pawnbrokers, peanut venders, shoeshining shops, window cleaners soft drink establish ments, soda fountain supplies.

' With the French Army on the Oise, Aug. 22. The fall of Lassigny at noon yesterday followed five days of incessant fighting in the trenches of the old positions abandoned by the Germans in March, 1917. Grenades, mine throwers and all other means of trench warfare came again into play and hand to hand fighting took place frequently. The Germans made a stout stand in Beville wood which bristled with machine guns and made an almost impregnable position. A battalion of the famous chasseurs, how ever, stormed the wood and took it yesterday morning, thereby sealing the fate of Lassigny. , While the officer commanding the chasseurs, at the head of his men and with a rifle in his hand, led them to the summit of the height to the east of Lassigny and planted the French flag there, an infantry regiment, ad vancing from Plessier De Roye, turned the famous Plemont height to the north. Thus Lassigny not only had fallen but its possession by the French was made secure by the encircling of a strong position from which the Ger mans might have delivered counter attacks. In the fighting at close quarters and while the Germans were pressing hard at one point in superior num bers a French lieutenant fell while directing his men. The men were determined not to allow the body of the lieutenant to fall into the hands of the enemy. They had exhausted all their rifle and machine gun am munition and grenades. With nothing else to fight with they grabbed the picks used for dig- : i i . , . . . . . gmg irencnes ana arove oacK tne Germans until the body of the lieu tenant could be recovered. Zilonu??
