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.

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.

E'FORE. the hoer struck when
the Allies were to begin

that the enemy ellould hive ro

the figures concerning the wonderful
industrial army in Lenglaud which
welted night and day in order that
the supply of munitions should n
fail. 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

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

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.
DEMANDS EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
President Wilson Sends a Note to
Railroad Executives.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Presi-
dent Wilson indirectly served notice
on the railroad executives Sunday
that he had no intention of yielding
in his demand for an eight-hour day
as a means of averting the threaten-
ed strike. 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.
