BRITISH HOLD BELGIAN LINE UNDER ATTACK [Continued From First Pasc.l as reflected in the London official account shows that despite this the British forces were able to forge ahead. While the British and French have been making another forward thrust in the process of driving a wedge into the German lines in Belgium the French forces have been heavily en gaged on their own soil to the south near St. Quentin on the Aisne front and in the Champagne. In the St. Quentin area General Petain's troops regained nearly all the section f line which the Ger mans had penetrated in their sudden thrust of Thursday night. North of the Alsne they carried out a brilliant attack and captured and held the whole of an important trench which the Germans had re cently taken south of Ailles. The fighting in the Champagne .was of German initiative. An attack launched over a front of nearly two miles was broken up by the French except at one point, to the north of Carnillet, and even here the Germans were afterward ejected from the ele ments they had penetrated with the exception of a stretch of some fifty yurds. Russians Winning In the eastern war theater things i seem to be going better for the Rus- j sians, except in Southern Moldavia, where Marshal Von Mackensen Is pushing an attack that threatens the important branch railway north of Fokshani, connecting the two lateral lines along the western Moldavian front. Kven here the Russian report to day announced that the Russo-Ru manians, although forced back across the Suchitza west of the Fokshani-Cona railway, helfl their ground to the east of that line where the menace to the connecting road is greatest. The most signal Russian success was scored in the vicinity of Brody wher-> the Teutonic command launched an a ttack on Thursday in an apparent effort to break the Rus sian line in Northern Galicia and clear the Russians from the small remainder of Gallclati soil they held. Petrograd announces that this heavy assault after a prolonged battle fail ed chiefly with heavy losses to the Austro-German forces. Other successes were won by the Russians on the Russo - Rumanian frontier where the town of Lukovica was entered by the Russians and a height was captured from the Ger mans and several hundred prisoners. The Teutonic forces also were forced across the Putna river on the north ern Rumanian frontier. New Rassian Regiment Revolts and Opens Fire From Transport Train By Associated Press Petrograd, Friday.

WOMEN ARE NOW TICKET AGENTS Pennsy to Place Six More on Duty Monday; Those Now at Work Shattering all precedent, the Penn sylvania Railroad, in line with its new policy of employing women j wherever possible, has placed two I young woman In charge of the sale i j of tickets to Germantown and Main j Line points. On Monday morning j six other young women, now being : instructed in the work, will take : ; their places behind the ticket win- ; dows. They will replace a number; of young men who have been called j to the colors under the selective ! 1 draft. While at present two young I ' women are used where one man for- 11 merly did the work, it is stated that; within a short time one woman will be able to handle the work just as effectively as her male predecessor. | The women, like the men, will work | In eight-hour shifts, five of which are j spent selling tickets and the remain ing three at clerical work. Many Women Working Since July 28, when the Pennsyl vania opened all possible avenues of employment to women, more than 2,500 females have entered the serv ice of the road east of Pittsburgh and Erie. Among that number included on the payroll are women occupying j such technical positions as signal women, machine operators, draw bridge tenders, machine hands and locomotive dispatchers. In lines of work more customarily followed by women are 433 telephone operators. 84 matrons, 1,500 clerks and 100 stenographers. Executives of the railroad recently announced that they would take no concerted action in asking for exemption of their male employes liable to the draft. New Freight Car Record on Illinois Central During July, says the Business and Transportation World, the Illinois Central Railroad broke records by moving all of its freight cars an average of 4 2 miles a day, while the average for all the other roads of the country was about 25 miles a day.

NAB SOCIALIST PARTY OFFICIAL AS SEDITIONARY Adolph Gernier Charged With Making Derogatory Re marks About U. S. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Adolph Ger nier, national secretary of the Social ist party, was arrested last night charged by government agents with making remarks derogatory to the United States and the war during an address in the auditorium in a pub lic park. Gernier has been under govern ment surveillance lor some time on account of his alleged seditious utterances and his resistance to the draft, according to federal agents. When it was learned that he was to address the American Liberty and Defense League last, night agents of the department of justice were assigned to be present. At the close of the meeting detectives told him he was wanted for investigation by federal officials. Two men whose names are with held by the police were arrested shortly after Gernier was taken in] custody, charged with making re marks derogatory to the govern ment. They are declared by the po lice to be well-known anarchists. The American Liberty and De fense League was formed, according to the police, to give advice to per sons who are "conscientious object ors" to the national draft. U. S. May Build Concrete Ships to Baffle U-Boats Washington. Aug. 11.—When the Germun Admiralty launched its Plan of unrestricted submarine warfare it calculated the steel tonnage of the world and the steel shipbuilding re sources of th world, and announced officially that it could cut England's jugular vein. It did not consider wooden ships and the possibility of concrete ships never entered its mem ber's heads. To-day there is being tested in the bureau of Standards at Washington a little nine-foot model concrete ship, which is likely to be the grandmother of a long line of vessels that will wreck the careful plans of Germany. Some weeks ago at the request of General Goethals the concrete experts of the bureau of standards began to investigate the possibility of con crete ships. Suggestions were re ceived from engineers in all parts of the country, and tests were be gun on the nine-foot model ship. Lief Erickson. Until the tests are com pleted it will be impossible to make any absolutely authoritative state ment. but there is every indication at present that no vital flaw exists in the concrete ship. The nine-foot model which is at present the subject of the tests of the bureau of standards, is a reproduction in miniature of a concrete barge of 200 tons capacity, which is construct ed by the concrete-products plant of Porsgrund, Norway. In Us con struction not one inch of structural steel is used, its ribs, like its shell, are made of re-enforced concrete. The shell of the 200- ton vessel needs to be only two inches and a half thick, and is re-enforced with wire mesh and steel rods only a half inch in diameter. Even the decks are of concrete.

Butter raised from forty-five to forty-eight. Lard ranged from twenty-seven to thirty cents a pound, according to quality.

Domestic cantaloupes also made their appearance to-day. They sold from five to ten cents a piece. Grapes are coming In slowly. Those in the market to-day are mostly southern grown. They were twenty cents a pound. Meats show little change as the people are eating more vegetables while they are plentiful and cheap. The public scales in the market were doing good service this morn ing. Almost a constant line of doubtful marketers were verifying the weight of their purchases. Some j of the women do not bother with the , public scales, but carry small spring j scales in their baskets.

Ice Cream Dealers Must Fill Boxes to Top Says Mr. Reel [ Crusade against ice cream dealers who do not fill boxes full and against j milk dealers using bottles which do | not have the capacity marked on ! them, has been started by Harry I>. j Reel, city inspector of weights and measures. "The law requires ice cream dealers using boxes, pint and quart size, to Oil them full. I have notified retail ers of this, and any violations will result in prosecutions," Inspector Reel warned. "Severe penalties are pro vided in the law. Complaints also have been made that milk dealers in some parts of the city are using bot tles with no capacities designated on them. This also Is required by State law, and must be observed. I will in ■ vestigate the complaints, notify of fending dealers, and If they continue to violate the law, suits will be start ed against them."
