operating just to the west of the town.
It is officially reported that in the fighting since Wednesday
morning when tne offensive began in this sector, the British have
taken more than 14,000 prisoners. It is stated in unofficial advices
that whole batteries of heavy guns have been taken from the
enemy.
South of the Somrne and between the Oise and the Aisne artil
lery duels are reported.
French patrols operating in Lorraine have penetrated German
trenches at many points.
fly Aitoelated Prat
Overcoming enemy resistance with
smashing blows, the allied forces be
tween Arras and Solssons are mov
ing' steadily forward, The menace
to the German positions on the 80-
mile front increases hourly as the
Allies take thousands of prisoners
and Inflict heavy losses.
UiiUsh Closer to llapaume
On the north, "having hurled the
Germans from more or loss Import
ant positions on,& 80-mile front, the
British are Hearing Bapaume and
threatening tho outlying defonses of
Peronno. The fall of Bapaume, It Is
said, would bo a disaster to the
enemy. Field Marshal Halg's men
now are but a little moro than two
miles awny on the northwest, haying
taken Achlet-4e-Grand and Blhu
eourt in determined fighting.
French Across Dlvetto
West of Noyon the French have
forcod u orossing on the Divette at
Kvrlcourt, threo miles from Noyon,
and they maintain their strong pres
sure from tho south and east. Be
tween tho Alsne and the Ailette,
noth of Solssons, General Mangin s
troops are pressing cl<*e to the
heights dominating the Chemin des
Dames from the west, increasing
the menace to the German positions
along the Vesle.
Fight as In July, 1916
The British Third and Fourth
armies are fighting over the old
battleilold of the Somme and are
making marked progress in fight
ing which resembles in Intensity the
first days of the drive of July, 1916.
They have crossed the Albert-Arras
road over most of its length. Thoy
have seized the high ground north,
west and southwest of Bapaume and
have surrounded the Important po
sition of Thlepval on three sides.
Closing in on Bray
North and south of the Somme
tho British are closing In on Bray.
They hold tho heights to the nort
west. South of tho river they have
taken two villages east of Bray,
uhlch lies on the north bank. In
tile area of Llhons the British are
east of Herleville.
From Chaulnes to south of Roye
the battleline remains unchanged.
French and British guns are pour
ing a heavy fire into and behind the
front here, the stability of which is
seriously shaken by the allied prog
ress to the north and south.

SHARON HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT COST
[Continued from First Page.]
At this Juncture the whole pro
posal was laid before the United
States Housing Bureau of the De
partment of Labor at Washington
and when the need of houses was
clearly shown the government sent
to Sharon an expert who looked over
the ground In order to verify. the
findings which the chamber had I
placed at the disposal of the
bureau.
Offer to 00-opcrato
The result was an offer by the
government to co-operate In the so
lution of the problem. At first It was
proposed that the Sharon corpora
tion formed for the purpose should
put up twenty per cent, of the money
necessary for the development and
woald retain that equity in the prop
erty, to be liquidated at the conclu
sion of the war. This was finally de
cided to be an unsatisfactory ar
rangement from the standpoint of the
government', .due to disputes likely to
arise In the event of Joint ownership,
and the Housing Bureau finally
agreed to put up $1,000,000 for the
erection 1 of houses In Sharon.
This took tho matter entirely out
of the hands of the local Chamber of
Commerce and the housing corpora
tion, although both are co-operating
In every way for the early comple
tion of the enterprise along linos
satisfactory to both the local and
government authorities.
Going Rapidly Forward
The new housing development be
ing ft federal enterprise, there are
no restrictions upon It, either as to
embargoes on supplies or scarcity of
labor. Men are procured through
government agencies, but every ef
fort has been made to keep intac\
Sharon's own building organizations
and many of the builders, contrac

the armies of Generals Humbert and
Mangln move toward it.
On the front north of Solssons
General Mangln apparently is giv
ing most attention to sharpening of
the salient which has its apex im
mediately north of Solssons. Ho has
gained more ground east of Bag
neur and west of Crecy-au-Mont to
word the Boissons-Chaucy road.
Any advance hero adds to the vul
nerability of the German line east
ward from Solssons,
Signs of Retirement
Fires aro reported burning behind
tho German positions north of the
Vesle, and it is believed the enemy
may bo preparing to retire. In
fantry and transports have been ob
eerved moving northward from the
V eslo in the lafit few days. Ameri
can and Fronch pressuro contlnuos
along the river and the Americans
have gained Homo more ground in
the area about Fismos in a local ac
tion.
Foch Hays "All's Well"
"Everything Is going well. We
have begun our action and we shall
continue." Theso are the Mords of
Marshal Foch, whose strategy has
placed the Germans in their pres
ent unenviable position. While the
fighting has been raging on the
front from Ypres to Rhelms, the
stretch of front from Rhelms to
Switzerland, where American troops
hold many sectors, has been quiet.
A blow by the Americans on the line
eats and south of Rhelms would not
surprise some observers in Wash
ington.
For five weeks now Marshal Foch
has held the Initiative and the Ger
mans have suffered probably the
moßt severe setbacks and have lost
more ground In that time than In
cny like period since 1916 on the
western front.
The sixth week has begun auspi
ciously with the German line from
Arras to Solssons wavering under
allied blows and unable to retire
without inviting disaster. In the
last week more than, 20,000 prison
ers, not counting Friday's captures,
have been taken, more than fifty
towns and villages regained and the
Allies have pressed on unchecked.

tors and workmen will be employed
on the big operation. '
The ground has been procured
and Is being cleared and graded. The
houses will be of permanent con
struction and attractive of ddstgn.
They will bo,of many types but of
harmonious design and the surround
ings will be landscaped. Lawns and
shrubbery will be features. Even the
smallest and cheapest of the houses
will have baths, hot water, furnaces
and ranges. The government -will
either rent or sell on reasonable
terms. There will be no thought of
profit. The whole Idea is to provide
a large number of houses attractive
enough to hold the workman who is
looking for good living conditions
as well as high pay.
The government will dispose of the
houses after the war. Just how or
on what terms nobody now knows
and little attention is being made to
this feature. Once built the houses
will be in charge of a representative
of the government, who may be a
local man or an agent sent here
by the housing bureau.
Another Plan
Another plan considered herft and
which may be worked out later is
the renovation and repair of large
numbers of houses that have fallen
Into a bad state of repair. This js
an important consideration and It is
believed that the Housing Bureau
wold listen to such a proposal even
more readily than to the erection of
large numbers of new houses.

LOWER RATES FOR
COMPENSATION
Interesting Announcement Is
Mnde by F. H, Downey 4 of
Rating Bureau, To-day
A general reduction In premium
rates that Pennsylvania employers
arc paying for workmen's compen
sation Insurance is forecast for 1919
in a preliminary report made to-day ;
hy ft. li. Downey, of the State In- '
sfirance Department, to Insurance J
Commissioner Charles A, Ambler-. !
The redue-Uotii which would apply to I
all employers in PenneylvanlO, ex- |
cept in coal mining, Inay amount to :
IB per cent, of the rates how in !
force,
A meeting of ail insurance com
panies lleensed to write workmen's
compensation insurance irt Pennsyl
vania will probably be called by the
State Insurance Department in Oc
tober, when the complete data on
which the rate reduction is pro- ,
posed will be presented,
The principal reasort for the pro
posed reduction in rates, according
to Mr, Downey, is that the under
writing profits of insurance com
panies during leid and 191Y, as
compensation insurance business in
Pennsylvania alone amounted to
$1,did,892, or more than 10 per cent,
of the total amount bf 115,858,038
premtume collected irt those years
by all companies, That profit, from
premium income alone remained
after ail losses end expenses of $13,-
741,141 for 1915 and 1917 were de- j
ducted front the total Income and is j
in excess of the amount realized
from investments, which Mr, Downey,
says probably aggregated $BOO,OOO j
on the approximately $15,000,000 j
income, even after all taxes and ex- |
penses were deducted, A fair un- j
derwriting profit is considered to be
one and one-half per cent, of pre
mium income.
This condition ie said by Mr,
Downey to indicate the needlessness
of fear on the part of employers that
reabsorptiott of industrially trained
disabled soldiers and sailors at suit
able tasks in industry will have any
effect on compensation insurance
rates in Pennsylvania,
The remarkably beneficial year of
the insurance companies was 1917,
Mr, Downey says, and was due to
the fact that wages generally increas
ed greatly during 1917, thus largely
increasing total payrolls, on each
$lOO of which compensation Insur
ance premium Is paid by employers.
But the amount to be paid disabled
workers by the insurance companies
did not correspondingly increase with
the payroll exposure ljecauso the
Pennsylvania law sets $lO a week us
the maximum to be paid a disabled
workor. 1 Accidents did not Increase
In 1917 over 191G In number or de
gree to offset the increased Income
of the Insurance oompanles.
During 1916 the underwriting
profit was $220,707 on a total pre
mium income of $6,102,224, which
indicates that the rates were cqult
able for that year and that tho un
derwriting profit was affected In
1017 by tho general Increase in
wages.
Americans Have Gone
Singing Into Battle
London, Aug. 24,—The Dally
Chronlclo had the following note In
Its "office window" at the time of
Foch's big offonßlve: "Tho Amer
icans have gone singing into battlo
like our own splendid fellows. Tho
thought brings back to memory an
English scene described by an eye
witness when the great rush of
Yanks across the channel began.
Hour after hour, thousands upon
thousands, far Into the night, tho
Americans marched to embark in
the darkness. They went like cru
saders. And what do you think their
bands played, so near the battle
field? They played 'Onward, Chris
tian Soldiers' and 'O Come, All Ye
Faithful.' The men who sang thoso
hymns are In the present fighting."
