12 YANKEES SWING INTO LINE FOR VESLE ATTACK Struggle to the Right of Amer icans Places Them Before Hun Artillery With the American Army on the Vesle Front, Sept. 6.—Menaced by a salient increasing in danger, the Germans to-day began a withdrawal from the Vesle valley to the right of the Americans. On the west flank the Americans held firmly, while the French exerted sharp pres sure on the rear but there has de veloped a situation considerably dtf-j ferent from that of the past few days; in the region westward towards Sols- j sons. The Germans fought more; nearly in the spirit of their tradl- ] tions but slowly this continued to give i way. leaving little doubt that the! line from near Rheims to that now | along the Aisne would bo quickly I straightened. The struggle is being made to the! Americans' right and has placed; them in a position where they are; subject to a heavy enfilade, espe-1 cially by the artillery. Despite l desperate resistance they swung] their line forward to its junction! with the French, where the most de- I termined resistance was encountered, j More broken country offers better i opportunities for defense and the! Germans have taken advantage of j every hillside and ravine in placing 1 their artillery and machine guns. 1 The Americans were forced to face' a deadly barrage, while barriers of gas were raised in every ravine i down which they might advance. An j equally destructive artillery re- j sponse was made by the Americans, j however, and the men already tried j in previous engagements, advanced! steadily, driving out the machine gun ; nests one after another. The Germans held their positioni along a machine gun line stubbornly, j many of them dying at their po-=ts, I but the total mortality was not great, ] since only machine gunners were j left in the rear line. It is probable, j however, that the German losses were large as a result of the counter artillery fire. Some thirty prisoners: were brought in to-day from that I part of the sector on the Americans' I right. Because of the better terrain, j the Germans can afford to retreat here more slowly and from the:r| positions they can exact a higher: price in return for their withdrawal. It is inevitable at the same time that] they, too, must pay dearly. The re- , suit is a foregone conclusion and ] the only question is that of the cost in men.. To-day the Germans en filaded the Americans who on their] part replied in kind and with inter- l est, while the French supplemented their work with what must have} been frightful consequences for the j Germans The slowing down. Supplies Brought Up The slowing down of the German] retreat from the Aisne has enabled ] the Americans and French to bring 1 up supplies end artillery and get in-j to the line the full strength desired: for forward positions. The Germans, of course, have had the same oppor-l tunity to place their artillery in posj-! tion with the result that artillery action to-day was enlivened and may l>e expected to increase until a new move towards the Chemin des Dames is made. That the Germans will es-1 tablish themselves on that line there is virtually no doubt. This conclu- ] sion is reached from statements made j by prisoners and substantiated by] circumstances incident to the opeta-i tions. The Americans concluded to-do their movement across the plateaul and down the slopes towards the] river. They were constantly made targets but the movement was ae-j complished with astonishing success, notwithstanding the Germans' inti mate knowledge of the abandoned! territory and their excellent oppor tunity for observation. French air planes assigned to this front were remarkably daring and efficient.in their operations, but the Germans never tiring in their aerial work at tacked with guns and bombs and: were rarely out of sight of the Allied] observation positions. Enemy Patrols Driven Off by Sharp Yankee Fire By Associated Press Willi the American Troops in France. Friday, Sept. 6.—The artil lery fire on the American sector in the Woevre tegion was heavier to day than it had been for two weeks. In the Vosges, however, the firing activity decreased. The pilot and observer of a Ger man airplane that was shot down by the French and fell within the American lines were captured to day by American troops. American patrols had a sharp on counter with an enemy ambushing party last night. Another enemy patrol approached the American wire but beat a hasty retreat when it wgs fired upon. U. S.

RAPID PROGRESS | MADE IN SHIPPING HEAVY CANNON Twenly-Four Plants Now at Work on Manufacture of Artillery j Washington. —ln an informal . summary of the army munitions sit [ nation, Assistant Secretary Crowell, Director of Munitions, indicated that | rapid progress was being made in the production of rifles, machine guns and some types of artillery. In a majority of the twenty-four plants at work on artillery contracts, how ever, he said the ilow of manufac j ture had not yet reached the pro duction stage, j The output of 155-millimctter how j itzers is an exception to this rule, i approximately 250 weapons of this ; caliber having been shipped to | France. Mr. Crowell pointed out that the Bethlehem Steel Company was the only experienced ordnance manu facturing concern at work, nineteen others being wholly new to this in dustry. In all of them, however, the raw material is being steadily fed in at one end of the plant and the time is nearing when it will emerge at the opposite end in com pleted guns of all sizes. In this connection, Mr. Crowell said, the new Government plant on Booneville Island, near Pittsburgh, was designed for the manufacture of largest caliber high-power guns only and will turn out nothing smaller than 14-inch rifles. The contract made with the United States Steel Corporation, which is erecting and will operate the plant for the Gov ernment, without profit, for the com pany contemplates an expenditure of $150,000,000 on this project alone. The plant has a ground area of 1,000 acres, in addition to large housing projects for the employes. The flow of Browning machine guns from the plants is increasing rapidly. From 0,000 to 7,000 heavy and from 8,000 to 9,000 light Brown ings per month are now being deliv ered, Mr. Crowell said, or enough to meet all requirements in France, l.ater on it will be possible to sup ply large numbers of these weapons for training in the United States. So far no report has come show ing that divisions equipped with the Browning guns have been in action, but such reports cannot long be de layed, for a large part of the Army in France is now supplied with these weapons. The output of artillery tractors has reached about 1,200 a month, Mr. Crowell's figures showed. He regarded it as still far below the rate of production desired. There is no shortage of powder and no short age whatever in quartermaster's sup plies. The rifle production, Mr. Crowell said, is steadily at about 200,000 a month, and the output of revolvers and pistols ranges from 50,000 to 60,000, which it is expected will be largely increased within an other sixty days. The Assistant Secretary would at tempt no estimate upon the relative strength in artillery between the Al lied and American forces and the Germans which the completion of American projects would give. He said, however, that it seemed evident that the American troops or the Allied forces would be able to make good use of all of the guns that could be turned out and shipped. HOUR IS NEARFOR PERSHING BLOW [Continue*! from First Page.] stand in his old position along the Hindenburg line. There is no doubt among observers here thut Marshal Foeh has mapped out a plan by which he hopes to prevent the enemy from settling into his old lines and reverting again to trench warfare. The St. Mihiel salient, where the; German lines thrust forward beyond j Verdun on the west, might offer a: chance for Foch's favorite pincer! tactics, some officers think. There are indications that this front is held by Americans with the excep tion of the defenses of Verdun itself and the lines southeast of thut city. If General Pershing should strike suddenly toward Metz and meet with: any success It is thought the enemy] might be forced to evacuate the! whole St. Mihiel bend and that the t pursuit of that retirement could be' expanded at will into action of; whatever scope Marshal Foeh had! authorized. ALL BREWERIES CLOSE ON DECEMBER 1 [Continued from First Pago.] ply of foodstuffs due to drought con ditions in the West. Supersedes Slay 1 Proviso The order does not affect the sale of beer already manufactured or manufactured before December 1, and probably will not head off ac tion in Congress on the "bone dry" rider of the food production bill, passed by the Senate yesterday, which would end the manufacture of beer on May 1 next, and its sale and the sale of whisky after July 1. For all practical purposes, how ever, it will supersede the proposal of Congress to give the brewers un til May 1 to manufacture beer. Factors which influenced the de cision to prohibit the manufacture of beer after December 1, the food administration announcement said, were "the further necessity of war industries for the whole fuel pro ductive capacity of the country, the considerable drouth which has ma terially affected the supply of feed ing stuff for next year, the strain upon transportation to handle neces sary industries, and the shortage of labor caused by enlargement of the army program." Under national prohibition in leg islation passed by the Senate yes terday and sent to the House, which exacted similar legislation last May, manufacture of beer and wine would be prohibited after next May 1. To day's order will move up seven months the time for discontinuance of the manufacture of beer, al though the breweries may be allow ed to resume operations between that date and the effective operation of the "dry" legislation, if finally enacted, since yesterday's order was "until further orders." "SIGN OK GREEN CROSS" ON DOCTORS' ALTOS Five tags with the "Sign of the Green Cross" have been issued to physicians who called at the mayor's office this morning. The tags are to be placed on the windshields of the automobiles so that traffic officers and others will see that the cars are driven by physicians making business calls and their passage through the city's traffic can be facilitated. In addition, these cars on the streets to-morrow will be distinguished from the "slacker" gasoline users. GERMAN PEOPLE AND ARMY TORN BY DISSENSION Outbreaks Occur in Fighting Units; Bavarians and Si lcsians Mutiny By Associated Press London, Sept. 7. —General demor alization of the German population and widespread and growing disaf fection in the German army .accom panied by mutiny and desertions are described in a dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from its Rotterdam cor respondent, under date of Thursday. The correspondent declares he has received corroboration from authori tative sources. He says alarming outbreaks have occurred in several army units, prin cipally Bavarian and Silesian. A whole Bavarian division on the Ar ras front was disarmed and trans ported to Bavaria, where it was placed in a prison camp. The mutiny of a Silesian regiment resulted in nearly a hundred of its men being executed. A huge number of desertions are occurring the correspondent says and it is estimated there are more than 20,000 deserters in Berlin alone. Hundreds have been sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment. A great number of imprisoned deserters, broken by solitary confinement, have been sent back to the ranks. Disobedience and defiance of of ficers is common at the front, ac cording to the correspondent's infor mation. and a similar spirit is shown in the munition factories.

Numer ous prisoners taken bj the British mention the distribution of pacifist and revolutionary pamphlets among the troops. One prisoner, who recently had re turned from leave, said that he was in the company of a large number of Bavarians when he was shown revo lutionary pamphlets, which, he was told, were being widely circulated. All the pamphlets, he added, were violently anti-Prussan and appealed to the men to refuse to light. It was asserted that during the re cent fighting the commanding officer of the 137 th Pioneer Battalion of the Fifty-second Division was shot by his men when he attempted to stop a panic stricken rush from the trenches. A battalion surgeon captured said all the regimental officers he knew believed that General Ludendorff would fight delaying actions until the Allied offensives had died out, the same as Germany's did, at the same time saving his "elite divisions" for a counterstroke, preparations for which now are being made. If the Allies ever reached the Rhine, said the doctor, Germany would make peace, no mutter at what price. The doctor seemed con siderably perturbed by the prospect that the Rhine might be reached. With the French Army in France, Sept. 7.—Thousands of letters taken from prisoners during recent engage ment show that the Germann army is suffering even more from depression and discouragement than from de pleted numbers. In letters written home both by officers and men the expressions most recurring are, "We have been fooled" and "We have been betrayed." A staff officer wus quoted by one officer in a letter as having said "Some thing is giving way." Officers made prisoners generally have sized up the significance of the Intervention of the United States in the war, admitting that they were deceived regarding the possibility of the transportation of a great Ameri can urrny overseas.
