Congressman Startles the

Ru a Staff Correspondent
Wanlilncton, ug 23.
Congressman Thomas S. C'r.igo. of
Waynesburg. Pa., a member of the Mili
tary Affairs Committee, startled the
House during the debate on the new
draft bill this afternoon by stating that
scmo Pcnnsyhanla regiments In the
front line In Franco hae suffered se
vere losses equal to a calamity.
A dozen members Immediately Jumped
to their feet and asked Crago If ho
should be understood as saying that
entire regiments hao been wiped out,
and asking hi mto name the units.
Crago did not deny tho Inference, and
told tho members, they could get the
Information t the War Department. "
"Jlay we understand you to stato that
thero h.s been a calamity at the front,
nnd that somo regiments from jour State
andniy State hae suffered terrible
losses?" asked Congressman Galllan, of
Massachusetts. "If jou hae Informa
tion of that kind we would like to hae It
before wo-vote on this bill."

"Hero's what I do know," replied
Crago. "Back In tho little town where
I come lrom (Waynesburg, Ta ,) In one
day thirteen of our families received no
tice that boys of their family had been
killed in France.
"In several of the regiments from our
State, I don't want to name the units,
but tho losses have been very severe "
Mr. Crago strongly urged the passage
of the new draft bill in the exact form
presented by the War Department, tak
ing men of eighteen, nineteen and
twenty.
it la a nuestlon of expediency and
policy and we should not place restric
tions on the War Department to pre-
int ihn laislne ot a large army as soon
as possible to bring victory as quickly
as It can be done," said Congressman
Crago.
Elaliteen-Year-Old Boys Not "Kids"
"Tho members of the House are too
apt to picture the eighteen-year old boy
as the big kid back home who has been
too much coddled and spouea," ne con
tinued. "That picture Is not represcn-
atlvo of the ordinary American ooy oi
eighteen, who for the most part Is

The bojs of eighteen, nineteen and

In the mines and factories, where they
work under bad physical conditions and
spend their time off under conditions
much worse than In the army."
SHIPMEN ASK $1 AN HOUR
Pacific Coast Workers Make
"Friendly Demand"
By a Staff Correspondent
Washington, Aug. 23. Shipyard work
ers on the Pacific coast have made a
"friendly demand" for a wage scale of
$1 an hour with double pay for over
time. Chairman Slacy, when seen late this
afternoon, admitted a demand for a
wage "of 11 an hour and double for over
time has been received frbm the Paclflo
coast. He was much surprised, he ad
mitted, because only yesterday he had
concluded a ten days' conference with
the International president of the ship
yard employes' unions, and no mention
had been made of any demand for in
creased wages.

Germany's good faith is utteily dis

a single life or a minute of time can
bo saved by treating seriously any
appioach she may make.
As one American phrased It: "This

LARGE CONTRACTS HELD
Two clothing manufacturers, holding
large army contracts were arrested to
day on warrants issued at the instance
of operatives of the Military Intelligence
Bureau, working for the Schuylkill
Arsenal.
The men, taken In custody by United
States marshal areBernard Lonker and
David Stevens, operating as Lonker &
Stevens, at 237 North Sixth street.
United States Commissioner Long held
them in (1000 ball eaqh for a further
hearing next Tueslay.
Failure to return clippings and rags,
property belonging to the Government,
which were sold to a Junk dealer by the
name of Benjamin Susman, 402 Addison
street. Is charged.
According to Arnold De Brier, a.
special Investigator of the Military In
telligence Bureau, Lonker admitted that
be received VS2G for the clippings and
rags, which the Government estimates
are worth approximately $4000.
The loss of clippings from Govern
ment cloth amounts to many thousand
dollars each year, said Captain L. B.
Ilaworth, bead of the Intelligence bureau
a the Arsenal. For that reason vigor
ous prosecution of all violating contract
ors has been ordered.
De Brier, who was assigned to inves
tigate the lonker & Stevens concern,
said that after two months" patient
watching he and his operatives finally
traced the missing clippings to the Junk
shop. The goods were conflicated by the
Government agents.
Looker Stevens received contracts
to make 66,000 army coata. The. manu
facturers, it ! alleged, admit the' sale
of the clipping, but contend the sale
was not mad wlth-any criminal intent.

Willi tho British Armies, Aug. 23.
Tho scene of conflict has changed
onco more nnd the British blow Is
being struck along a front of eight
or nlno miles of country lvlng almost
equally distant from Arras on the
north and Albert on the south.
It cannot he called a hilly country,

Ancre, above Albert, on tne oiner. i'or
the plateau Is really part of the wa-,
Imelinrl which divides the rivers Of
northern France.
I lately described the lower half of
the front now concei ned, ns seen from
tho terrible Wood of Commecourt on
tho day when one of our coips dis
covered that tho enemy opposito them
was withdrawing from th" region of
Pulsleux and Serre. The whole region
Is marked by names of tho famous or
mournful In tho former fighting, such
ns Commecourt, tho two Achlets and
Thlepval, far down across tho Ancre.
while due east from rulsleux, only
seven miles away, stands Bapaume.
As might be supposed, the whole
region Is also mat ketl by graves, many
of which date from the French resist,
nnco of nearly four vears ago, nnd by
a complicated system of French, Brit-
iKh and German trenencs oi viinuua
dates, but all equally obstructive to tho
movement of tioops. as aie the miles
movement or noun's .ti m; mw ,... .
of barbed wire which litter tho sur-
face. When a v.iingo is lutmiuura i.
must be remembered, as always in this
war. that tho placo Is now a mere rub
bish heap of ruins.
Itapaumo Prize in Distanco
The object of the British force under
General Byng was, In the first place,
to follow up the recent success north
and south of the Somme by dealing
another hard" blow at the enemy
further north, for when ono acts on
the offensive the more often one strkes
tho better. But. besides this general
rule, it was important to follow up
tho enemy's retirement from the line
above mentioned, starting from
Bucquoy through Pulsleux to Serre.
In the distanco stood Papaume ns a
nrlze. together with tho possibility of
protecting Arras from further peril
and of shaking tho enemy's hold on
Albert. 4 .
These, however, were remote ob
jects, perhaps not ostensibly consid
ered for tho attack has not been on
such a scale as the Fourth Army's
crcat movement further south. Oppo
site to our divisions the Germans had
their Seventeenth Army, under Gen
eral Otto von Below. They may have
some fifty battalions to oppose, as
their army line, as is now usual with
them, was thin but deep. It was ar
ranged not In trenches, but In isolated
outposts and machine gun positions
one behind tho other, to a considerable
depth. But the map will show the
lallwav fiom Arras to Albert was their
real line of defense, for It consists
loreely of cuttings and of embank
ments, both equally serviceable in
checking nn nttack.
Accordingly, It was along this rail,
way that the heaviest fighting was
expected, and so it has turned out.
