ENEMY BATTLE

Mighty Wedge Driven Between

prosecution of the offensive are -A the

the enemy being remitted to paute for

no denial of their efforts.

Thousands of prisoners nnmsrqus

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

Ailette rivers have been crossed and

offensive seemingly shows that Gen
eral Foch now has the initiative en

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.

STOCKMEN NOT
PLEASED WITH
SHIPPING RULE
Declare That Railrcad Should
Not Bring Stock to Mar
ket Late in the
Afternoon.
A new rule of the claim department
of the Union Pacific road regarding
the shipping of stock has given rise
to so much dissatisfaction among
stockmen that A. F. Stryker, secre
tary and traffic manager of the Omaha
Live Stock exchange, has taken the
question up with the government.
The point objected to were the right
assumed by the railroad to bring
stock to the market as late as 3 p.
m. without liability for damage should
there be a decline in the market price
or loss of weight and the demand by
the road that all cars for shipping or

stead of 3:30 as formerly.

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.

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.

INDUSTRIES MUST

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

those hauling fuel or doing govern
ment work, teaming other than de

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

and general workers.

With the French Army on the
Oise, Aug. 22. The fall of Lassigny
at noon yesterday followed five days

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-
