THE FULTON COUNTY NEWS, McCONNELLSBURG, PA. E ON WESTERN FRONT President Wilson Sends Congratulations. His PERSHING OFFERS ARMY Placet Whole American Force In France And Thote To Follow Command Of General Foeh. Washington. Official Information has reached Washington that General Foch, the French Chief of Staff, hag been appointed to supreme command of all the Allied and American forces In France. This means unification of all the armlet opposing the Germans, a step which the American and French mill- , tary men long have urged, and which apparently has been brought ubout by recognition of the Imperative demand for concentration effort to hurl back the gigantic thrust of the enemy In France. President hat been officially advised of the action and he sent a cablegram to General Foch congratulating him "on big new authority." The first hint of the historic develop ment came in cable dispatches telling how General Pershing had placed the American Expeditionary Forces at the disposal of the French commander. This was confirmed in a message from General Pershing to the War Depart ment. The message, made public by Major-General March,, Acting Chief of Staff, follows: "Have made nil our resources avail able and our divisions will be used If and when needed. French are In fine spirit and both armies teem confi dent." There was' no mention In the Fersh ing dispatch of the new authority given General Foch, and War Depart ment officials were speculating over the reasons for the absence of any official announcement. Some still were Inclined to believe that the French general had been placed In command only of the "Army of Maneuver," the reserve force composed of contingents from all the Allied Armies created after the formation of the Supreme War Council. In his message to General Foch President Wilson said: "May I not convey to you my sln: cere congratulations on your new au thority? Such unity of command Is a most hopeful augury of ultimate suc cess. We are following with profound Interest the bold and brilliant action of your forces." The news of the appointment of General Foch, one of the heroes of the Marne, to supreme command gave rise instantly to suggestions that the pres ence of Secretary Baker In Europe was connected with the development. Mr. Baker first visited France and conferred at length with French offi cials and with General Bliss, Ameri can Chief of Staff, attached to the Supreme War Council and General Pershing. There followed a brief trip to London Just as the great German drive was starting, after which the American War Secretary hastened back to France. Many observers now surmise that Mr. Baker was tent to Europe par ticularly to urge the co-ordination of &I1 Allied armies under a single com mander. Such is known to have been President Wilson's desire when his urging caused the creation of the Supreme War Council. Some meas ure of co-ordination was secured throu 'i that body, but any plan for appointment of a supreme commander with authority over all the armies, French, British, Italian and American, met with strong opposition in Eng land. HOUSE PASSES FARMERS' BILL. Provides For Loam To Purchase Seed Grain. Washington. Relief for farmers who raise wheat, corn, rye, oats or barley and who are unable to purchase eeed this year, would be provided In a bill Just passed by the House. It would Bupply a fund of 17,500,000 from which to lend farmers money to buy seed and would give the Secretaries of Agriculture and Labor $2,500,000 to mobilize labor for the harvest this year. The bill originally gave relief to farmers In the spring wheat belt and stipulated that only wheat, oats and barley seed might be Included. After a bitter fight it was amended to make it applicable to the whole country. Much opposition also de veloped to efforts to include corn and rye. TAR AND FEATHERS FOR I. W. W.

Washington. "We must strip for action." That was the official warning of Act ing Chief of Staff March In the light or pressing appeals from England, France, General Pershing and else where for more ship space for troops and army freight. In a statement explaining an order cutting down parcel shipments to sol diers March said that "a most urgent war necessity" required limitation of such shipments. At present they take up 250 tons of shipping space a week. Hereafter parcels will be sent only on the soldier's request. This limi tation of ship space, announced re cently is in line with March's policy of getting every available man to France In the shortest possible time. It also complies with Lloyd George's appeal for hurrying reinforcements to the beleaguered west front. The restriction and other economies are being effected. Hurrying of Na tional Army units across is one of the means of furnishing quick and able backing to the Allies. France some weeks ago first urged the movement and England has now ndded her plea In a message to the British Ambassador, and communi cated to this Government. And Gen eral Leonard Wood is anxious to have men hurried across with less train ing on this side than was accorded the first drart men. Wood suggests that slow ships be segregated in convoys. At present ships of varying speeds are guarded by speedy destroyers and the whole convoy must be tuned down to ac commodate the slowest ship. Segre gation of the slower ships would tend to speed up the general troop move ment. Wood believes. Council To Straighten Kinks. President Wilson's informal "war council" is seeking to straighten out kinks in the war machine to the end that there shall be: Less railroad congestion. " More speed in ship construction. Better facilities for handling fuel and food situations. Increased activity from the War Industries and War Trade Boards. And, as a whole, more effective prosecution of the war. This council, with Secretary Daniels and Provost Marshal-General Crowder added, will meet each Wednesday. And with the need for troops more pressing than ever before, It will seek to find the remedies for ills which have plagued and clogged the war machine hitherto. MEATLESS DAYS HALT. Suspension Of Order For 30 Days Due To Oversupply Of Hogt. Washington. Suspension of the meatless day regulations for 30 days, beginning Saturday, was ordered by the Food Administration in instruc tions telegraphed to all State 'Food Administrators, Temporary relaxation of the restric tions was decided upon because thou sands of hogs now coming Into the market had Increased the meat sup ply beyond the country's shipping and storage capacity. In a statement an nouncing the order Food Adminis trator Hoover expressed confidence that the producers would not take advantage of the "holiday", to ask more than fair prices, and that "the packers and retailers will have sense enough to realize that this is not to be a holiday of high prices."

COUNTER-ATTACK TO TOON THE TIDE Allies' Maneuver Army Now to Enter Fight. GERMAN PROGRAM DEFEATED Great Counter Is Now Awaited Washington Walts Confidently For Next Step In The i Battle. Washington The crisis of the great German offensive has passed. The British army which has faced the ferocious onslaughts of the vast Teu ton war machine has weathered the atorm. Failure will mark the enemy campaign and the frightful losses he has sustained will be utterly in vain. This is the substance of the most comforting information which has reached Washington in seven days, in formation which has come from the highest British sources and has been transmitted to equally high officials of this Government. The Ministry in London did not express these assur ances, it may be noted, as a result of one day's or two days' fighting. It did not rush to any conclusion regard ing the operations in France. On the contrary, the British Government waited until it could speak with a aense of soreness before it undertook to speak at all. It may be added, coincidental!, that the unofficial dispatches from the bat tie field today tend strongly to bear out the official communication which has reached the American Government. These dispatches show very clearly that the drive has lost Its initial mo mentum; that Germany Is fast exhaust' ing her reserves; that, with the lengthening of the German line of com munication and supply, enemy artillery baa become less effective, and that on the whole, it has become measurably certain that German might cannot force that breach in the British line for which this offensive was under taken. And these unofficial messages are exactly to the same effect as the offi cial dispatches, except that the latter did not deal In detail and did not say more than that the British army bad passed safely through the most mo mentous crisis of the war with the single exception of the Marne. It is no secret that this Government Is now expecting some far-reaching developments of a favorable character within the next 24 or 48 hours. Whether or not these expectations are based upon Information confided to it by the British War OfTice or by Gen eral Pershing, or whether they are based upon strategic developments which are obvious to anybody, is not known. All that is positively known Is that the Administration Is waiting confidently for the next great move in the battle. General Staff officers agree that the logical step to be taken next by the British and French is a counter-assault upon a scale that will send the Ger mans staggering backward. Such a counter, if it is to be most effective, should be launched at the earliest pos sible moment, officers here say. It should be begun while the German lines are lengthened and before it is possible for the enemy to brfng up their batteries, particularly their heavy artillery. This Government knows definitely the Blze and the power of this reserve force, but it disclosed today no details whatever regarding It. It is the gen eral understanding, however, that from 400,000 to 500,000 men compose It and that when the proper time arrives it will be thrown Into battle either upon the Sanks of the German army or di rectly in its path. And it is this reserve which Is relied irpon to force the Germans back step by step until the Allies have rechlnied what terrain they desire for the safety of general positions. GREATEST GERMAN DRIVE ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE MILES. All along the 50-mile front, from the region of Arras to the south of the Oise near Noyon, the effects of what was to have been the final stroke to end the war in a victory for the Teu tons are only too plainly evident in the redevastation of the countryside and the wreck and ruin cf the towns, Villages and hamlets through which the armies havo passed. Westward from where the old battle line reared itself the Germans everywhere have pushed forward for material gains, but with foes before them who fought with the greatest bravery and stubborn-. ness and ceded no ground unless rec ompensed at usurious rates In men killed, wounded or made prisoner. It is estimated that In the great attacks delivered in mass formation more than 400,000 of the near 1,000,000 men the Germans threw Into the fray are dead) wounded or In the hands of their foes. About 25 miles represents the great est point of penetration made at any place by the enemy, and on the north ern and southern ends of the big sal lent he has left his flanks dangerous ly open to counter-attacks, which, IF successful, might possibly result In a retreat greater than, fro 1916 retro grade movement of Von HIndenburg GUN MEANT FOR LONDON. Cannon Just Being Tried Out On Paris, German Expert Sayt. London. Lieutenant -General von Pohne, a German authority on ord nance, says in the Vosslsche Zeitung, of Berlin, that the bombardment of Paris Is merely In the nature of a trial for guns which are really Intended to bom bard London, says an Exchange Tele graph dispatch from Cotruhngin. Philadelphia and rtntton have free schools for radio ouerators and nullify In its entirety the drive that bag been accomplished. It la not improbable that British and French reserves, and possibly American troops known to be behind the battle front, will soon be thrown against the weakened enemy. Notwithstanding the strength of the German drive, nowhere has the Brit Ish or French front, along the latter of which American troops have given a good account of their ability an fighters, been even dented. Ground has been given, it Is true, but so skill fully and with such precision of move ment that from north to south a sur voy could scarcely have worked out more even line. Still Intact In th hands of the Allied forces are portion of the old line from which Hlnden burg fell back In his "strategic" re tlrement in 1916. Just who is in command of the Ger man forces secmi to be somewhat in doubt. Late dispatches report thn Field Marshal von HIndenburg has been at Dvlnsk, in the Russian the atre, and German war correspondent assert that General von Ludendorff not only planned the offensive but wa on the ground last Friday personally to control the attacks. GERMAN CASUALTIES ESTIMATED AT 400,000. , A dispatch from British Army Head quarters in France says: From the average of casualties In the various German units as given by prisoners, one arrives at the conclus Ion that the German Emperor has lost 50 per cent, of these men since be gave the signal for the advance. The official British statement of Tuesday said It had been established that more than 70 German divisions had been engaged in the battle. The usual estimate of the presont strength of a German division Is 12,000 men so that a loss of 50 per cent would mean casualties in excess of 400,000 for the Germans in less than a week of fighting. HAIG REPLIES TO WILSON. Washington. Field Marshal Halg's reply to President Wilson's cablegram was received at the White House. "Your message of generous appre ciation of the steadfastness and vakr of our soldiers in the great battle now raging has greatly touched us all," cabled the Marshal. "Please accept our heartfelt thanks. One and all believe In the Justice of our cause and are determined to fight on without count Ing the cost until the freedom of man kind is safe." London. Field Marshal Halg has is sued the following special order of the day: 'To all ranks of the British Army In France and Flanders: "'fte are again at a crisis In the war. The enemy has collected on this front every available division and Is aiming at the destruction of the Brit ish Army. We have already Inflicted on the enemy In the course of the last few days a very heavy loss and the French are sending troops as quickly as possible to our support. "I feel that everyone In the army, fully realizing how much depends on the exertions and steadfastness of each one of us, will do his utmost to pro- vent the enemy from attaining his object."

AMERICANS BATTLE FRONT France Accepts General Persfv Ing's Offer. ON PLAINS OF PICARDY Khiklclad Americans Singing, March Through Driving Rain And Wade Through Deep Mud, In Order To Get Into Position For Great Battle. American Army in France. All the American troops have been turned over to the Allies for such use at they see fit to make of them. American troops may soon be fighting side by side with their British and French allies In the battle which is raging In Northern France. It is enough to say that gcrat ac tivity of many sorts Is In progress In the entire American zone. Miles ol motor trucks loaded with ammunition have passed through tho towns, some going in one direction, some in an other. Through a driving rain the motor trucks plowed their way alont muddy roads, the Americans singing. Many of the trucks had Ammlcan flags fastened to their tailboards. On other roads mllo after mile of marching Americans splashed through the mud, which came over their ankles. The horses were steaming from the work they had to do. All the men are working as hard as pos sible, with the realization that they are to be of service in the common cause and used in the present con flict. Every man is thrilled to the core by General Pershing's offer. They show the results of their train Ing In their whole conduct, even in the salute when staff cars passed. The training Is now over. The beginning of the reiki thing Is at hand. The troops are glad to get Into action, particularly in this crucial period. News reaching here Is to the effect Miat the French and British have definitely stopped the enemy. This Is Indicated even by the communique from Berlin. The news was received with the Intentest Joy by the Americans, who now feel sure that thev will be In the thick of it when the tables are turned on the foe. - Baker Approves Action. Secretary of War Baker gave news papermen, calling on him at General Pershing's residence, the following statement: "I am delighted over the prompt and effective action taken by Cen eral Pershing In placing all Amer ican troops at the disposal of the Allies. In the present situation, his action will meet hearty ap proval in the United States, where the people desire the Expedition ary Force to be of the utmost service to the common cause. "I visited practically all the American troops In France, some of them quite recently, and had an opportunity to see the en thusiasm with which officers and men received the announcement that they may be used In the pres ent conflict. The regiments broke spontaneously Into cheer when they were appraised of It." Secretary Baker said he did not see the American railway engineer on tho British front. May Be Open Warfare. The news that the German drlvo has been definitely stopped, which even tho Berlin communique prac tically admits, was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the American troops, who had become somewhat pessimistic temporarily. Everywhere It is realized that time means much more to the Allies than It does to the enemy. If worst comes to worst, many Americans otherwise regarded rs unfit for the trenches he- cause of lack of lengthy training could be thrown Into the struggle, especial ly If the war became a campaign of movement Instead of the old station ary tactics of Intrenched positions. In open war the training In trench warfare would not count so heavily and the troops of lesser training might be thrown In line. VIENNA PAPER WARNS. Tells Germany U. S.

The Arbiter Zoltung of Vienna, a copy of the Thursday edition of which has been received here, sounds a note of warn ing to the Teutonic allies as follows: "Do not be deceived. Germany's victories will never force the Entente to accept a peace of violence. If the Germans could take Callas and Paris, and even force Franco nnd Italy to capitulate, there will ever remain the English den In their Isle nnd America protected by the ocean. They can al ways continue the war by sea. The greatest victory cannot Impose a peace of violence on America and England." MRS. MOONEY RELEASED. Charges Of Murder In Connection With Explosion Dropped.

The ICepuhlieuii party of that state lms through Its central cominltteo declared Itself emphatically for tho meusure. The resolution Indorsing prohibition concludes with these words: "We, tho representatives of the Ite- publlcun parly of the state of Wyom ing, In committee assembled, do here and now pledge every person receiv ing n nomination fur any public office within the state of Wyoming at our bands, from United Stntes senator down to wurd constable, to the policy of absolute prohibition und the en forcement of every luw enacted for the purpose of bringing about the com plete prohibition of the manufacture, barter und sale of alcoholic liquors for beverage purposes." Entirely surrounded by dry states, on the south nnd west two deep, Wyoming cannot logically remain wet. Ninety- nine per cent of the state Is already dry under state and municipal statute. Women have voted there since 18ii!. That state-wide prohibition will win next full Is a foregone conclusion. QUESTIONS FOR LABOR TO AN SWER. In nn appeal to the labor unions of the country to refuse to longer be tho catspaw of the liquor Industry when Inbor circles are in renllty largely dry, Charles Stelze says: "Shall the trades unions be made the scupegoat for an evil which It Is sought to cqntlnue, against the best judgment of Increas ing numbers of worklngtnen? Shnll future generations hold It ngnlnst or ganized labor that, In the twentieth century, It nllled Itself with those who stood for sin nnd the debauchery of the saloon? Shall the saloon dom inate the lubor movement when every other decent organization and Institu tion Is breaking loose from Its power T These are questions which lubor must answer, and answer so emphatically that no one can mistake the real at titude of the trades unions." EXPLODED ARGUMENTS! "Stntes which have already adapted themselves to prohibition enn smile at the arguments ndvanccd by Its oppo nents In Now York, for they have al ready been exploded," says the Port land OregonJnn, n paper formerly opposed to prohibition. "The lost rev enue Is already made up by other forms of taxation without hardship or complaint, especially as the effect of prohibition Is nlrendy becoming ap parent in a diminution of crime nnd Insanity and consequently of public burdens. Breweries are applied to other uses than making beer und other retail business hns occupied vacant saloons. Former employees of brcwer- lus and saloons have found other occu pations, for there are practically no unemployed In Oregon who wish to wirr'.c. States nnd cities have learned thut they can get along without liquor revenue, capital has learned that It can find profitable use for property which was formerly applied to pro duction of revenue, nnd worklnginen have found other jobs. Tho liquor truffle has disappeared ond we have quickly closed the gups which It left." PLENTY OF HISTORY. Sidney Lunler said, "It Is Idle to argue from prophecy when we can argue from history." It Is no longer a question whether prohibition is a bene fit. Twenty-seven states, Alaska. Dis trict of Columbia and Porto Rico, not to mention nearly all of Ounuda, fur nishes the history. "The argument that the stopping of the liquor truffle will create a com mercial famine Is based upon the ab surdity that the money spent for booze could not be spent for anything else." LIQUOR TRAFFIC DESTROYS REV ENUE. The source of the liquor revenue Is the liquor consumer. The truffle de stroys tho source of revenue when It makes men criminal or sick or Ineffi cient "Vice," declnre the retail liquor deal ers of Illinois, "tends to degrade nnd demoralize the liquor truffle."
