Goderich I WORSE Urfa COMING Somme Offensive Expected to increpse in Intensity. Sul:deg Sees Terrifie Assaults on the New British Frent West of Del- ville Wood -•-• General l'och's Troops Resume Their Drive and Capture a Strongly leortified Wood Wear Guillemont, LONDON, Aug, 22. — Through their adYances north of the Somme in the last few days the British are now within striking distance of Thiepval, Oourcelette, and Martin- puice. The gains that have brouget Haig's line close to the German il- cond position presage a renewal or the struggle before long. Instead or decreasing in intensity, the Somme battle is expected to grow heavier this week. A slight lull during the late hours of Saturday and through Saturday night in Picardy .was broken „Sunday by a series of terrific attacks on the new British front west of the Delete° wood. The Germans swept forward in their first assault just about tee noon hour, and succeeded in break- ing into the newly -consolidated /3ritish trenches. They were immed- iately taken under a heavy fire and beset by infantry attacks with the re- sult that they were driven from: tne Potations, Meanwhile, to the' south, the Brit- ish and French, in hard-fought ac- tions, scored local suceesses on short fronts. The British pushed forward Lor some distance north of Bazentin- le-Petit, further increaeln,g the men- aee to Martinpuich, which is now under the continuous fire of their guns. Gen. Foch's French troops also were busy. Quickly recuperatiug itt the short respite granted them fol- lowing their stupendous efforts of the previous two days, they resumed Sunday afternoon their campaign to Isolate Guillemont. Their success was marked by the capture 9f it strongly -fortified wood between'that village and Maurepas, together with a great quantity of war material which it contained. The German aetillery fire is in- creasing in intensity all along the tenet between the Ancre and the Somme and the 13ritish positions, especially, are under almost continu- ous bombandments. From all indica- tions the Germans have greatly strengthened this army by new bat- teries, anchare replying In ,.almost even ratio to the British. A War Office statement from there Sunday bratight out tbe fact tbat the great effort of the French and British on Friday was launched with fully 200,000 men, more than 1-6001) men mile to each me of the front of attack— a soldier to every yard. The state - meet, covering the comparative lull of Saturday afternoon and Sunday night, had little to report onnthe pre- sent fighting, making mention only of the repulse of isolated 13ritisla at- -racks. At Verdun tbe battle reached a high pitch of fury during -Sunday night, with both armies alternately launching great attacks on the shell - swept Thiaumont-Fleury front. Ber- lin admits that the French "penetrat- ed" Fleury. The French War Office had already reported the complete capture of the town and Sunday an- nounced the repulse of terrific at- tacks directed against it by the 0-er- man Crown Preece. Nei•tber side gained on the rest of this front, al- though thousands of men met in continuous hand -to -band clashes throughout the hours of darkness. K TO ATTACVIA GREECE? Teutons Will Violate Neutrality of Constantine's Country. LONDON, Aug. 22.—That it is the intention of Bulgaria to launch a general attack against the Entente armies on Greek soil is the informa- tion conveyed to Premier Zaimis of Greece by the Bulgarian Minister at Athens, M. Passaroff, according to a Central News despatch from the Greek capital. Another despatch received by way of Copenhagen quotes the °facial Bulgarian newspaper as saying that Bulgaria expects the same treatment at the hands of Greece as that ac- corded the Entente. Our troops must fight en Greek soil, taking the offensive now, in order to foeestall Serrail," the news- paper adds.Bulgarian troops have oceupied considera:ble sections of Greek terri- tory for months without serious pro- test from Athens, and the opinion is expressed that Greece has a secret agreement with Germany whereby - the invasion will be tolerated in re- turn for the Greek occupatioe of Southern Albania, the annexation of which was announced at Athens some months ago. In order to allay fear among the Greek populace, however, Premier Radoslavolit of Bulgaria is reported in a Central News despatch from Sofia to have advised the Sobranje, the Bulgarian Parliament, that the Bulgarian advance is being made in order to ensure better position and a stronger line. He expressed the Government's hope that it would not cause fresh complications. Pound Dead in Chair.

The necessity, fax secrecy h passed, and while it would he mait featly unwise to publish the exa figures concerning the number steel's, facts almost equally startlin were given in a recent Interview b Dr. Christopher Addison, who is Pa liamentary Secretary to the Ministo of Munitions, and chief of the sta of ,5,000 experts which is supervisiu the work, Every detail is known t Dr. Addison, win remarks tha after the war is aver the equipneer of the factories and works extension all over the country, with power an plant. en up-to-date systems, and ac curate and modern machine tool will ache enormously to Britain's La dustrial strength in the markets o the world. • Dr. Addison says that at the begin ning oE the war th.ere were only thre Ineeortant munitions factories in th ginteel Kingdom, besides a numb 31 priv-ate munitions and armamen rms. It i's plain, therefore, that th oetaituneet-makers of Great Drape had nothing to do with bringing o the War. To -day there are 4,000 Gov ettnment-controlled factories, em ploying 2,000,000 work people, in eluding several hundred thousan woraen. This industrial revolutio has been brought about in a litll more then one year. The first step by Lloyd George when, he bhcam lefinistet of Munitions was to mak an ineentory of an the available me chinery in the .country, and to re- gister the number of private firm that might be brought to raanufac tune war supplies. The country was divided into districts, In each whiele a working board of manage ment was set up. By means of this nee;r: yeti seen a thell or a rifle thousands of firms that had neve be- fore the war began were soon turh- ing them oat by the hundreds of thousands. Another step was the virtual come mandeering of all the machine tools in. Great Britain. For more than a yearenot one of tbese toots has been disposed of without the permissioa of Lloyd George. One of the earliest diffienities to overcome was the scar- city of trained mechanics. As we at/ know, they had enlisted fn great numbers at the outbreak of the war, and it was necessary that they shouia be brougbt back from the trendies. Nearly fifty thousand of them were brought back, and these for the most part were employed not in the manufacture of munitions, but itt training others to manufacture them. Dr. Addison pays a tribute to the union men in this connection. In thousands of cases these men have moved from piece -work to day wages, with tbe result that thee' have been making less money than the green hands they have been training. This is an inequality that ought to be corrected. These trained mechanics go where they are sent, like so many soldiers, and to their mobility and patriotism the wonder- ful speed with which new factories have been started in aIl parts of the country is chiefly due. It is calculated that there is now being turned out by firms that were it year ago engaged in some business remote from purposes of war sixteen imes as many shells as were produced by all tee armament plants and rivate munitions -makers a year go. Britain can now produce itt ess than a month as many of the ighter shells as were made in the whole year of 1 91 4-15. In less than: fortnight more heavy shells can be raade than in the preceding year. In week far more shells, light and eavy, are being turned out than ere expended in the famous Battle f Loos, and for this battle Great ritain had to save her ammunition or a month. IT3 fact, a Battle oe ooe might now be fought every eek and the British reserve of hells never be touched. Britain's capacity for making light uns has been increased by 1,000 per ent. over June, 1914; she can make wenty times the number of middle - eight guns and more than fifte .tnes the number of heavy -weight uns. She has special factories for he manufacture of grenades and ortars, and Dr. Addison remarks hat men now in the munitions busi- ess were before the war in one area lone, a manufacturer of music rolls, n infants' food maker, a miller, a bacconist, an advertising agent, everal brewers, a glazier, a sypbon andfacturer, and seneral jobbers. e announces that since the begin- ing of the war British scientists ave discovered the formulae for any chemicals and implements ade exclusively in Germany, and at these have been placed at the rvice of the Munitions Depart - exit, He also disposes of the non - alma that if it had not been for e manufacture of shells in th,a nited States the Allies would have ad to sue for peace long ago, and! ys that as far as tee ectuad produce On Of shells goes, the eontributions an the United States have been a ry small percentage of those used. rota the United States Since the bee nning of the war, however, have me tremendeus quantities of raw aterial necessary to the manufac- re of munitiota. a 1 a a ti itt a a to itt na Itt tie se te th 17 sa ti fr ve gi 00 111 tu Spicy conversation ehould be ban,: meg ,gingerig. BOTH CLAIM SUCCESS Fierce Fighting is in Progress on the Eastern Front. Capture of Cherwisehe Farm and Village of Toboly on the Western Bank of the Stokhod River Gives leig Advantage to Russian Forces —Hard Fighting in Carpathian Passes, LONDON, Aug. 22, --Fierce fight- ing continues in tee region of the Stokbod, on the eastern front, where the Russian advance menaces both Kovel and the German salleut at Pinsk. The battle on the crest 'if tbe Carpathians is also still raging, both sides claiming minor successes Petrograd and Berlin in oil/ eel statements regarding the ea•stere front claim successes in the dghting that has been raging without pang - for the last 24 hours on the etoldiod sector between Rudka and Chet- wische, about 40 miles north-east of Rove', The Russian War Office re- ports the capture of the Cherwische farm and of tee village of Toboly, three miles to the west and on the western bank of the Stokhod, This village was officially reported in Russian hands in Saturday's Petro- grad statement, but since has chang- ed hands several times. "It deelle remained in our possessiom says Sunday's report, adding that six GM.- cers and 600 men Were made pris- oners. Berlin, on the otker hand, reports a successful Teuton counter-attack in this region and the capture of six officers and 367 men. The German War Offiee statement adds' that the "combat still continues," and indi- rectly admits Russian progress by referring to Russian troops "which pushed forward cn the western bank," though it is asserted that Muscovite attacks here were re- pulsed.. By the capture of Toboly the Rus- sians bave driven a three-mile deep wedge into Gen. von Linsingen's front on tele line, and are now en- deavoring to widen the breanch. Indirect admission that the town of Jablonica, east of the Carpathian pass of the same name, has been re- taken by tbe Teutons since its cap- ture by the Russians several days ago, is -contained in Sunday's Petro- grad report, which says that the Teutons were "driven back to Sab- lonica and Voronka (Woronienka), three miles to th esouth-east." A slight Russian advance is claim- ed by Petrograd 29 miles to the east, on the River Bialy-Czeremosz, near the town of Dol-Hopole. Berlin reports thercapture by Ger- man troops of the Kreta Heights, south of Zabie, in the foothills of the Carpathians, and the repulse of Rus- sian counter-attacks at Magura Height, to the south-east. Russian troops were driven from advanced trenches east of Kizelin, in Volhynia, south-east of Kovel, ac- cording to the German statement. A battle rages on the north-east- ern slope of the Czerna-Hora where the Russians are trying to break through to open their road to the Hungarian plains. Their attacks from due east of Tartar, or Jablonicit Pass, temporarily abandoned be- cause of the stubborn Teuton resist- ance, the Muscovites now are trying to force the pass by swooping down upoxi the defenders from the north. Vienna Sunday night asserted that "strong attacks" broke down under the Teuton barrier fire. The Aus- trian War Office also claims the re- pulse of a Russian attack south of Horozonka, where the Russians are endeavoring to pierce Count von Bothmer's front east of Halicz.

He also made clear his position on arbitration. He said: "What I am proposing does n..ot weaken or discredit the principle of arbitration. It strengthens it, rather. "It proposes that nothing be con- ceded except the eight-hour day, to which the whole economic movement of the time seems to point, and tbe immediate creation of an agency for determining all arbitrable elements in this case in the light, not of pre- dictions nor forecasts, but of estab- lished and ascertained fates." The direct effect of this strategic move from the White House was somewhat bewildering to the railway executives. They have heard from leaders of the brotherhoods and Con- gressional sources that as a last re- sort the President will appeal to Con- gress for temporary Federal receiver- ships.
