FIGHTING RESUMED IN GRIM SECTOR BRITIBH AND FRENCH ADMIT YIELDING SOME GAINS TO IN VADING GERMANB. DUG DP HEAVIER GUNS * Armenians Have Organized An Army and Recaptured Erzerwin From the Turks, Says Report. Aftpr Bcveral days ol comparative Inactivity along thn battle front in Plcardy, bitter fightltiK has been re sumed along the western Hector of the salient In the lines of the entente al lies. Attacks by tho Germans against the Ilrltlsh and French aro admitted to have yielded some galnn to the In vaders In the critical sectors just to the east of the. ctly of Amiens. The /Ightlng, according to lateit re ports. has been heaviest in the neigh borhood of Ilamol, where tile Ilrltlsh were forced back slightly, and In the triangle formed by the Ftlvers Luce annd Avre, farthor to the South, where the French were forced to give ground Nothing Is known as to the details of the battles In these sectors, but the fact that the Germans have been In a degree successful would seem to Indl catc that they have succeeded in brnlg- Ing up some of their heaviest cannon and new divisions with which to con tinue their attempts to capture. Ileporls from the French and Brit ish fronts have metitinoed heavy rains which would mean that the Germans have been working under a severe handicap In bringing up guns, ammuni tion nnd supplies to the front. The battlefield over which the allies have retreated wan left In a devastated con dltlorjJ the roads and bridges being mined In by the retreating forces. The lull In fhn battle for the last few days probably was caused by the Inability of the Teutons to move their heavy supply trains over these roads, togelh er Willi the necessity of reorganizing the shattered divisions which bore the brunt of the fighting after they had passed the first field of fire of their heavier guns The Hrlflsh, since retaining Ayette. south of Arras, have not resumed their offensive operations, so far a« reported by London, hut the German official statement says that four at tacks by the entente forces against the heiKhts southwest of Morculll were repulsed with heavy losses There aro no reports of fighting except out post encounters along the French linen on tho Olho river There have been heavy artillery bombardments of Hrltlsh positions on the Menln road and at Passchondaole. east and northeast of Ypres, accordlnj* to London.

MISER UK WEST COMMAND HIS DREAKIS OF AN OVERWHELM ING AND COMPLETE VICTORY ARE SHATTERED TO«IT8. FOCH BIDDING HIS TIME Meeting Assault! with Powerful Re sistance and Here and There "Conforming" Lines. The second phase of the great bat tle along the Somme has died down, (t lamed less than three days, and the fighting has resolved itself Into more or less isolated engagements In which the French and Hrltlsh allies have more than held their own. The attention of the Germans for the present Is mainly directed at the lower end of the battle zone, which apparently they are attempting to mi •large for the purpose of getting elbow room In which to move their vast ihasseß of troops. Meanwhile, General Foch, the com mander-in-chief of the allies, Is bid ing his time, meeting the German as sault* with powerful resistance, and here and there .conforming his linos to the necessities of the battle. It Is confidently stated at Paris that Ko h will not he drawn Into any false* move -where each move Is R f suth vital Importance—but will strike with his reserves at the moment chosen by him. There may he some significance In tho report that the German emperor, after a conference on tho western front on Saturday with his chiefs, Vrtn Hindeiihurg nnd LudendorfT, intends to proceed to Rumania. At the out set of the great German offensive, when It was sweeping the allied forces before It, notwithstanding their tena cious resistance. Km per© r William, It was announced officially from Berlin, was In supremo command. That an nouncement was regarded at the time ns evidence that tho emperor expect ed a complete and decisive victory. Since then, however. British and French and American reinforcements have come up. West of Noyan a German detach ment which had gained a foothold In the French lines was forced out by a counter-attack. Another attack at Grivesnes was repulsed, hut the Ger man efforts along tho Olse to enlarge their previous gains wore continued In tho sector between f'hauny and Ilarisls. Here the French commander doomed It advisable to withdraw to positions previously prepared, and they are being held strongly. GENERAL PERBHING SENDB A STIMULATING MESSAGE Washington.—From headquarters of the American expeditionary force In France came a Liberty loan message from General Ivrshing "Kvory dollar subscribed to Iho Liberty loan in a dollar Invested In American manhood," cabled the gen eral. "Every dollar subncrtbed as the result of self denial means partner ship In Ihe hardships and Halts of our men in tho trenches. Every dollar subscribed will confirm tho determina tion of our peoplo at home to stand by Its army to a victorious end. An over whelming subscription to the third Liberty loan will be a patriotic ex pression of confidence In our ability as n nation to maintain all (hat wo hold dear In civilization." Nearly 50 communities reported they had exceeded their quotas in tho first day's work, and thereby had won tho right, along with IK announced, to fly the Liberty loan honor flag. In a statement on behalf of the loan, Secretary Lane said: "The year of war has crystallzed the spirit of our peoples. We know why we are fighting and to what eno. Krom a standing start, wo have In j on* year made progress at which we should not be discouraged.

BY II NEW CLASSIFICATION Plan Submitted by Provost Genera Crowder'a Office nad the De partment of Labor. Washington—Drastic modifications of the draft classification llßts which would affect In one way or another the status of everyotie of the millions of registered men Is proposed In a plan submitted to President Wilson by of cialu of the provost marshal general'! office,, and the department of labor. While the primary purposflTof the new ..program l. th# "puriflcatlolf"*-tif the second, third and fourth classes of registrants who are not engaged in u.iy productive industry, attention also would be given to lower sections of Clans 1 and the effect, its framers be lieve would be to solve the nation's labor problem and largely increase the ouu>ut of the necessities of life. Th? proposal would utilise the draft machinery for putting industrial •dSckers to work. Every registered man who has been granted deferred c lassification would be given to under stand that such deterrent Is not a right, but a privilege and that If unfair advantage Is taken of that privilege, it will be summarily re vc' r!. It is proposed to" make a most care ful survey of the lower sqcttons of Class 1 and of other classes to iden tify those men who are Idlers or \Vho are Raining their living through un desirable or "harmful" pursuits. Un der the latter hqad, officials suggest might be listed-gamblers, bookmakers for races, poolroom touts and others. Formal notification would be served upon these men that, unless within a specified time they ,obtain employ ment in some useful industry, thoy would have tholr classified status changed so as to lend them into mili tary service Immediately. The plan Is not designed to inter fere in the slightest with the so-call ed non-essential indusrtles. These may bo affected to some slight degree, but officials say such Injury would be offset many times over by resulting national good to be obtained from the augmented labor supply and the great ly Increased production of essentials. Administration officials who have participated In the preparation of the plan declare that the next step would be to obtain authority for the indus trial classification of the man power o fthe country up to the age of 50 years. GERMANB HURL MASBED ✓ DIVISION AGAINST ALLIES In a battle of utmost fury, the Ger mans have been hurling msssed divi sions against the British and French lines from far north of Albert to a short distance north of Montdidier. Probably there has not been a more sanguinary battle fought since the boglnnlng of the Teutonic offensive March 21 than this, which lias for Its objective the driving of a wedge between the British and French ar mies, the cutting of the Parls-Amlens rail road south of Amiens and the capture of that city. Hut. In splto of the power of the attack and the desperatcness of the fighting, the entente allied legions have stood firmt over the most of their front. At only two points have they been forced to give ground, and these seem, on the m p, to be only minor successes when compared with the sacrifice of lives which they have cost. Just to the southwest of Albert, th\§ British have withdrawn a short dM tance, and the French have glveosiip the village of Castel, west of MorVill. which has been the storm center of thejlerman assauls for the last few days. At this point the Teutons are within three miles of the Parls- Amlens road. GERMANB TAKE BIT OF TERRITORY FROM BRITISH Hard fighting was proceeding north and south of Albert as the result of a heavy attack by the Germans on the British lines along a front of #,OOO yards between Aveluy and I>ernan court. According to the latest re ports. the Germans had succeeded in getting a foothold on a small triangu lar hit of territory, lust southwest of Albert, which brought the attacking troops rlose to the Albert-Amiens rail way.
