Iron Field Near Metz Vital to German Army Philadelphia, Sept. 14.—Between Verdun and Metz lies the basin of Briey. Germany has been in posses sion of the whole of the iron ore field in this area since August. 1914, writes Fullerton L. Waldo in the Public Ledger. This iron ore is pai w tlcularly important in the manufac- j ture of steel by the bessemer process. Germany has thereby been enabled during the war to double the figures of her previous iron and steel pro duction. In the valley of the Moselle, along which the Americans are advancing in the direction of Metz. are many smelting furnaces, to which coal is brought from the Sarree basin in the j Lorraine plateau. The Sarre, coming | from the southeast, joins the Moselle about forty miles below Metz. Germany before the war produced 28.000,000 tons of iron and 21,000,- ouu tons came from this region. France before the war produced 22,000,000 tons of iron, of which 15,- 000,000 came from the part of the basin which she still held after the disaster of 1870-71. Germany, taking Luxembourg's 6,- 000,000 tons and France's 15,000,000 tons, has added 21,000,000 tons of her previous supply—giving her 49,000,- 000 tons in all. On May 20, 1915, six industrial and agricultural associations of Germany addressed to Dr. von Bethniann-Hol wcg a memorandum in which they said: "If since August. 1914, the pro duction of pig iron and steel had not been doubled, it would have been Impossible to continue the war." "If," said Senator Berenger, "we continue in possession of Verdun and ; through our armies conquer Metz; once more, we shall be able by this | stroke to end the war, since we shall take from Germany 42,000,000 of her total supply of 49,000,000 tons —six- sevenths of her whole production of the essential war material." "Back to the Mines" Is Plea to Old Workers Washington, Sept. 14. An acute shortage of mine workers in the an thracite mines of northwestern Penn sylvania, which will have a decided effect on the industrial war program, is one of the most critical of ihe siauations which has prompted the United States employment service to commence a drive for returning -to the mines thousands of workers who have left them for other work. E. B. £hase, general manager of the Berwind White Coal Company, of Philadelphia, represents the opera tors in the general program which has been started to return these men by the use ol every agency available to the government.

V ' =£j British Birdmen Take German Battery; Scare Horses Away From Burden By Associated Press With the American Armies on ! British Front. —Capture of a Gernvjn battery by two British airplanes whs one of the unique incidents of the recent fighting in this area.

GERMANS LOOT ST.MIHIELWHEN FALL IS CERTAIN v Baker, Pershing and Petain Visit French City and Talk to Residents By Associated Press With the Amerlcnn Army In I.orrainc, Sept. 14.—Newton D. Baker, the American secretary of war. ac companied by Generals Pershing and Petain insited St. Mihiel a few hours after its capture. Residents of the town so long under the domina tion of the Germans accorded Secre tary Baker and his companions a touching reception, relating the | abuses to which they had been sub- | jected Before the Germans retreated they | had forced almost every male between j the ages of 16 to 45 to accompany them for service in the German army, they told the secretary. The prefect of the town assured Secretary Baker that had it not been for the assist ance rendered by the American relief committee the residents of the place would have suffered serious priva tions. The banks long ago had been broken into and all the money and papers removed. The inhabitants of St. Mihiel had been forced by the Ger. mans to contribute a million francs to the German war treasury. Secretary Baker ' and Generals Pershing and Petain wulked through the streets of the little city talking to the residents, who told them stories of the long months of Ger- I man occupation. Although the Ger mans were most open in their out rages immediately prior to their re treat. they had begun their depreda tions long ago. Houses had been en tered and robbed and when they marched out of tS. Mihiel they carried away great stores of loot taken from almost every house in > the place. Kisses For Secretary Baker The civilian population, almost wholly feminine because of the forc ible removal of virtually every male of military age, welcomed Newton D. Baker, the American Secretary of War, and Generals Pershing and i Petain, when they visited St. Mihiel | a few hours after it was captured. Aged woman and girls crowded about Secretary Baker and the two generals accompanying him to ex press their thanks and pay homage to their deliverers. It was not merely curiosity; it was an emo tional outburst following almost three years of the conqueror's sup pression. They crowded forward ostensibly to shake the Secretary's hand hut kissed his hands and wept, and then they joined in a chorus of "vives." Reserve Drilling to Start Monday Announcement was made at the drill of the Harrisburg Reserves, last night that the drilling of Central High school students would be start ed Monday morning and that plans for the Technical student drills would be made within a few days.

This afternoon reserve details are drilling drafted men at Penbrook and Hummelstown. The first Central drill will be held at 9 o'clock Monday morning. Major Henry M. Stine will attend and the detail wiil he announced late to-day. Will Revise Tolls on Wire Mesages Washington. Sept. 14.—Standardi zation of telephone and telegraph rate schedules throughout the coun t try is about to be undertaken by Postmaster General Burleson. Com- I mittees have been appointed to study the services und their rates and make recommendations upon which revisions will be based. All telephone and telegraph com panies were authorized to file claims with local draft boards for exemp tion from military service of "abso lutely indispensable' employes. The companies also were notified that to stop embarrassments to the service reported from various sections where employes have quit tflelr places with out notice, often tc engage in non j essential work, all employes leaving I the service should be required to give I two weeks' notice. More Contribute to Trolley Fare Fight Interest in the campaign of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor against the proposed increased rates of the Harrisburg Railways Company is becoming more intense and the campaign itself promises to become almost as interesting as some of the 'big war campaigns being waged on the fields of France. Several Har risburg labor unions have volunteer ed to give their financial support to the fund that is being raised to con duct the fight. A total of $66 has already been contributed by private citizens. Well-Known Physician Made -First Lieutenant DR. J. LOY ARNOLD Dr. J.

After Fleeing Enemy [Continutxl From Page One.] undertaken for the purpose of opening up the way for a subsequent drive against Metz and possibly the important Briey iron fields now in German hands it already has achieved a large purpose. , By Associated Press The Americans are continuing their advance after eliminating the St. Mihiel salient. From Pagny across the Moselle river German ter ritory, the npw front extends in al most a straight line to the vicinity of llattonville where it advances slightly toward the northwest to Fresnes. This reduction of the front line from some forty to twenty miles places at the "Hisposal of the Allied com manders an enormous force of men for future operations in this sector or on other fronts. Americans Push On Having accomplished the task of wiping out the salient the offensive movement continues to push forward and the further straightening of the line is probable. The Americans at this stage of the drive command po sitions favorable for a direct invasion of German territory, if such a course should be decided upon. Although the important German fortress of Metz is in no immediate danger, its outlying fortifications are within range of American heavy guns at Pagny. Metz Target For Airmen Metz itself furnishes an excellent target for Allied airmen, who al ready have taken advantage of the opportunity and dropped many bombs on railway stations and mili tary stores in the city and vicinity. With its strong outer protection of fortifications a frontal attack on Metz could hardly be expected but an outflanking movement by the Americans on the west, or by the French and Americans fron> the south would force the Germans to WORKMENHEAR CAPTAIN HARRIS Never Any Question of Ulti mate Victory, Vet eran Declares CAFT. WALTER K. HARRIS Thousands of brawny, patriotic American workingmen, all eager to hear about the war at first-hand, comprising the industrial staffs of the Lalance-Grosjean tin plant, the Pennsylvania Railroad shop yards and the Centra] Iron and Steel Com pany, listened at their respective places of labor this morning and early this afternoon to vivid descrip tions of the conditions, past and present, by Captain Walter Kilroy Harris, of the British Royal Naval Division, who served two years in the trenches of France and Belgium. Physically unlit for military' duty abroad, owing to wounds received in battle, Captain Harris is "on leave" in this country \%here he is lectur ing and speaking under the auspices of different State Councils of De fense. He spoke at noon yesterday at a membership luncheon of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce on "Killing Germans" and electrified his large audience with his intimate description of the ungentle art of ex tinguishing the Hun. Typical of all his talks to-day was that made before the railroad em ployes before whom he praised the recent heroics of American "Sam mies" who, he said, were doing "all that was expected of them and then some." Because of the tactical genius of Foch and the undaunted spirit of the Allied arms, the three recent drives of Hindenburg result ed In absolute failures. The objec tive, he said,- of Great Britain, France and America, was the de struction of the German army, which, as long as It exists, would mean the- continuation of the war. German propaganda, Captain Harris said, had ever belittled England's part in the war, making jt out that Great* Britain had left the heavy work to her colonies and the Allies. Figures on the war, the speaker averred, bearing upon England's part in it, utterly confuted the charge. Conclucling, Captain Harris told the railroad men that "It may take ntuch longer than optimists are led to think by the good news in the papers these days to end the war victoriously for the Allies. A few months ago things looked dark, but there has never been any question of our Ultimate victory. After four years of untold sacrifice. Britain is for a continuation of the war until the goal is reached or, in the words of the British Prime Minister, "Victpry must be so complete that our na tion's liberty never again shall be challenged,' " LANE THANKS WORKERS Washington, Sept. 14.—Secretary Lane yesterday sent a telegram to Chairman Edes, of the Alaskan En gineering Commission, and the men of the Alaskan Railroad, thanking them for their devotion in the work of constructing the line from Mata nuska to Seward. About 60 per cent, of the Governments railway is now ready for operation. SEND PERSHING WORKMEN Lisbon, Sept. 14.—The Portuguese government has promptly answered General Pershing's call and thou sands of workmen are being recruited in Portugal for the American forces in France. evacuate both the fortress and the territory surrounding It. Leave Railway Intnct In their haste to get out of the sulient with as little loss of men and military supplies as possible the Ger mans left the railroad from Verdun to Commercy, Toul and Nancy vir tually intact. The capture of this line of railway adds greatly to the facility of troop movements towards Verdun, which Mas been a great handicap to the Allies in the past. Yanks Take 30 Villages In the first two hours of their operation as a distinct unit the Americans have driven the enemy out of some thirty villages, many strongly fortified positions prepared during the four years of their qccu pation of the salient and captured more than 13,000 prisoners and large quantities of guns and other ma terial. Prisoners are still coming to the rear and no attempt has yet been made to estimate the quantity of enemy supplies captured. Gpin on Olhcr Fronts On other fronts the Allies continue their pressure against the German lines. Cambrai and St. Quentin are in danger of being outflanked by the British and French. West of' St. ®uentin French troops have occu pied the village of Savy and north west of the town the British have gained ground after local fighting with the. enemy in which prisoners were taken. The British also have made progress southwest of La Bassee and are pressing forward on Auchy-lez-Labasspe. Further north German attacks on new British po sitions at Havrincourt were repulsed with heavy loss. GOVERNOR ASKS SCHOOL EFFORT Wishes to Maintain Educa tional System at the Highest Possible Plane During War People of Pennsylvania, especially school authorities afid parents, were to-day called upon by Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh in a procla mation to maintain the schools at the highest plane of efficiency dur ing the war. The opening of the schools this month showed that there was a shortage of teachers and the Governor's call makes a special plea for teaching of ideas of loyalty and duty. The Governor says: "Whereas, The President of the United States under date of July 31, 1918, has called upon our people In so far as the draft laws will permit, to maintain the educational Insti tutions of the country at, if possible, increased efficiency; and "Whereas, The nation lives by its Ideals, these can best be given our people in tjie period of youth and through the institutions that are set for the creating of ideals, —namely, the home, the school and the church; and "Whereas, It is manifest that In this war time great numbers of trained men of sound education and clear ideals must be found to officer our great and growing army, open ing to the colleges and universities this most vitally important field of service to our country and to civili zation; and "Whereas, In the fateful days aft er the war, it is vital to the per petuity of free institutions and to national prestige to have a great ar ray of splendidly trained men and women to give course and current to the nation's endeavors; "Now, Therefore, I, Martin Grove Brumbaugh, Governor of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania, mindful of the tremendous influence of the school system of this Commonwealth, do hereby urge upon all school au thorities and upon all parents to maintain the schools of the Com monwealth at the very highest plane of efficiency, and to teach in home and school and church the vital im portance of keeping in the nation high ideals of duty and loyalty. Whatever practical difficulties may arise, can be met and must be. Let us face this obligation frankly and fearlessly give to our nation in this crisis and in the crucial days to come a thoroughly trained and adequate ly equipped citizenry." TWO DETECTIVES SHOT Colorado Springs, Col., Sept. 14. John Rowftn, chief of detectives, was killed and John D. Riley, a city de tective, shot and probably fatally wounded in a revolver fight yester day with three men believed to be those who held up a train near Paola,' Kan., on July 10. The trio es caped In an automobile driven by a woman. RETIREDPENNSY MEN IN HARNESS [Continued from First Page.] places on the railroad payroll as ac tive workers and further responses from the veterans are being received almost daily. Included on the rolls of pensioners of the division are 368 former employes. Some weeks ago when the supply of available workmen was so badly depleted that officials were having serius feelings as to their ability to cope with the ra[lroad situation dur ing the comin gmonths, question naires were sent to all of the pen sioners. They were asked to state whether they were willing to return to work in case their physical condi tion warranted them doing so, and to furnish other essential informa tion. How many of the retired employes, distributed throughout, the motive power, the transportation and main tenance of way departments will be returned to work, officials were un able to say to-day. Final disposition of the matter will likely be made within the next several days. fSWISS GRATEFUL TO AMERICANS By Associated Press Geneva, Sept. 14—General Per i shlng.
