SENATE WITHOUT
QUORUM; DELAYS
MANPOWER BILL
Plan Now Is to Meet Monday
and Begin Measure on
Thursday
Washington, Aug. 15.—Plans for
beginning consideration in the Senate
next Monday ot the new manpower
bill extending the draft ages were
blocked by failure of a
quorum to appear when Chairman
Chan-berlain, of the Military Com
mittee, submitted the measure with
a favorable report.
Senate leaders had telegraphed
members to return from vacations so
that the agreement for three-day re
cesses until August 24 might be set
aside and thus clear parliamentary
obstacles to taking up the bill imme
diately upon convening Monday.
Only forty-three Senators answer
ed to their names when the roll was
called, six less than a quorum. There
were 22 Republicans and 21 Demo
crats.
The Senate adjourned until Mon
day and the plan now is to begin con
sideration of the bill next Thursday.
Senator Chamberlain still hopes to
pass the measure by Saturday of next
wee'.. He said a quorum seemed as
sured for Monday.

INROADS ON FRANCE HERDS
Since the outbreak of the war
France has suffered a loss of 2,600,-
000 h"ad of cattle. Deducting 1.000,-
000 for the loss due to the total or
partial invasion of some ten depart
ments. then is a diminution of some
1,600.000 hi ad.
Moreover the cattle have greatly
lost in weight. Before the war the
average weight in meat of slaugh
tered cattle was from 770 to 880
pounds, whereas to-day it hardly ex
ceeds 350 or 570 pounds. To obtain
in the future the same quantity of
meat as to-day an ever-Increasing
number of cattle will have to he
slaughtered.

to have a -large number of men, Ca
nadian troops have pushed farther
eastward by completing the occupa
tion of the villages of Parvillers and
Damery. These points are about
two miles west of the highway and
tailroad running north and south
through Chaulnes and Roye.
Allies Continue Advance
Apparently the enemy had com
pleted his withdrawal movement in
the Hebuterne sector north of Al
bert. Berlin announces officially
that German troops were withdrawn
from small salients.
, However, it is not yet clear how
far the Germans have retired. The
enemy still holds Albert, hut the
British are in the western outskirts.
Between the Oise and the Matz,
the French continue their steady
pressure and have gained additional
high ground west of the Oise and
northwest of Ribecourt. The Ger
mans fought hard to hold Monolithe
and Attiche farms, but were finally
driven out by General Humbert's
men. The farms are east of Thies
court wood and are on the high
ground dominating the river Divette,
u small tributary of the Oise."
Huns May Stand
■Appointment of General Von
Boehn, who led the retirement from
the Marne, to the command of the
German group in Ptcardy, is con
tinued officially from Berlin. It is
believed in Londpn that because of
the scarcity of reserves the Ger
mans will fight on the defensive on
their present line. Fifteen reserve
divisions already have been thrown
in between the Ancre and the Oise
and the enemy is said to have only
sixteen fresh divisions on the entire
front from the North Sea to Sr">.
zerland.
Unofficial estimates in London
place the allied captures since Au
gust S at 34,000 men and 670 guns.
11 is declared the proportion of Ger
man to allied losses has been greater,
■n the' recent lighting than at any
time since 1314. The total allied I
casualties may not be as large asi
the number of German prisoners]
cuptu red.
l ull in Fighting
All bther sectors of the western
front appear to be affected by a
lighting lull. The German artillery
i re and aerial activity has decreased
along the Vesle, where Ihe French
and Americans maintain their pres
sure.
Aerial operations still are intense. >
On the British front twenty-eight I
German machines were put out of]
action Wednesday, while the Ger
mans lost fifteen. Bombs have been
dropped on railway junctions within
the German lines arid British ayi- j
ators have flown into Germany to i
attack Thionville and Offenburg.
American aviators have brought!
down two more enemy machines and ]
have bombed railway junctions in
the Metz-Verdun area with good ef
fect. Paris was visited Thursday
night by raiders who dropped sev
eral bombs. A small number of
persons were killed and there was
some material damage.
On the Italian front the situation
is normal. The Italians have seised
ah islet in the southern reaches of
the Piave.
Allies Win in East
In the east, from Moscow to
| Ylatfi vostok and from the White
i Sea to the Caspian, the situation
! daily becomes more interesting and
j t.'vore menacing to Germany.
I From Archangel allied troops
! have made good progress south-
I ward toward Volodga and appar
| ently are operating in three columns
| .against the Boisheviki, whose oppo
| sition is reported to have been
! fairly determined. The occupation
l of Baku by British troops who
came north through Persia from
Bagdad is a blow to German and
Turkish pretentions in the Cauca
sus. To the north the Czepho-
Slovaks are in force along the Volga
under the command of experienced
Russian generals. In eastern Siberia
the position of the allies apparently
is improving, as more troops are
landed at Vladivostok.

Flanks Germans Out of Town
I Lieutenant Milford Fredenburg, of
Ridgeway, Pa., with his detachment,
managed to get in back of the Ger
. mans, flanking them out of the town.
Immediately supplies for several
days were thrown across the bridge
into the town and trenches were dug
around the outskirts, with special
emplacements and shelters for our
machine guns.
It was against this well-prepared
position that wave after wave of Ger-;
mans on Monday sprinkled the fields
with their dead. Corporal George!
Karsall, of Bradford, Pa., is men-1
tioned for personal bravery duringi
the enemy counterattacks.
Private Raymond Trainer, of
Paoli, Pa., with his machine guns did
unusually well, while Private John
Marmouth, of Cumberland Valley,
Pa., stood out in the' open unscath
ed, piercing the Germans with hand
grenades. ,
Sergeant Thomas S. King, of Phil
adelphia, not only took command of
I his company, when the officers were
hit, but cared for the wounded And
I saw they were promptly removed to
] a dressing station.
Private James O'Nell, of Wast
Philadelphia, under heavy artillery
fire, went back to a bridge to test
[ it and see if an ambulance could
cross. He also brought up food to
the trenches during the fight, vol
unteering for the difficult task.
Captain Charles Hendrick, of
Blairsville, Pa., for the last three
days and four nights has been liv
j ing in a dugout at Fismette, direct
ing care of the wounded, in which
he has had the assistance of Captain
George A. McGlnnis, of Philadelphia,
who personally conducted four am
bulances across the river from Fis
mes and evacuated twenty-eight
wounded men from this dugout
dressing station.
Our boys who drove these ambu
lances, two to each ambulance, were
Harry Broadbent, of Philadelphia;
Raymond Onyx, of Kensington; John
F. Maxwell and Albert Smith, of
Frankford; Samuel Falls, Philadel
phia; Alfred Baker, of Tacony; Mich
ael Biomuller, of Tacony, and Jack
Curry, of Philadelphia.
Tii'cs Shot From Ambulances
Broadbent and Onyx had five tires
shot out of their ambulances upon
their first try at the bridge, being
shelled down before they reached it.
They returned to the dugout and
helped carry back wounded from the
advanced lines until the bridge was
repaired. The same thing happened
to Maxwell and Smith. Falls and
Baker and Biemuller and Curry got
their first loads of wounded across
before the bridge was hit.
Major Frederick Hartung, of Pitts
burgh, and Major WHward Eiland, of!
Corapolis, Pa., who were driven in a!
small car by Private Walter Frosch,
of Pittsburgh, had thrilling ex-]
periences. making repeated trips
from' Fismes to Fismette, until the
car was riddled with shellholes and
had to be abandoned. Then they
continued the work of directing the
care of the wounded upon foot.
Another ambulance team, Private
Joseph M. Murray and James R.
Gunn, both of Philadelphia, took
Captain Hendricks Into Fismette and
were the first to get back with a
complete account of the fighting,
which continues to be exceedingly
hard to get, as the roads back of 1
Fismes are filled with great shell
holes and falling trees. A journey 1
to this point of the combat requires!
four hours each way from the place j
where the articles are censored and ]
put upon the cable for America. !

he was so badly gassed In battle that
he was pronounced dead, and the
body was ordered removed for
burial. As he was being taken
away, stretcher bearers noticed signs
of life and took him to a hospital,
where he recovered.
Notice of his death was Bent to
his family in March.

Mule's Walk to Death
• Puzzles Veterinarians
Danville, Ky. A mule belonging
to Mrs. Ltllie Condor, of the Rolling
I Fork neighborhood, became afflicted
] with a strange disease and died a
| mysterious death, the cause of which
veterinarians have been unable to ac
count for. The animal was discover-
I ed in a pasture constantly walking,
i hut neither eating nor drinking. He
! was keeping s. steady gait and could
| not be frightened sufficiently to make
I him run. This hybrid was taken to a
j barn lot and there he continued to
j walk. Finally he was fastened in a
j small stall and for a time he merely
! lifted his feet up and then put them
down again. This he continued hut a
1 short time, when he pushed the planks
loose and extricated himself> only to
resume his walking in the lot. No
feed would tempt him to stop; no
coaxing would induce him to cease
traveling. Finally hp fell over dead.
