WASHINGTON, D. C., July 13.—
It is announced that the officials
and diplomats here believe that Ger
many is announcing radical changes
in the ministry and in the proposed
electoral reforms, is merely throw
ing a sop to the worldwide demand
for the suprsssion of autocracy. It
is declared that Germany has not
the intention of making any reforms
while the shift of men is not a shift
of principles, said one authority
referring to the reported resigna
tion of von Bethman Hollweg.
BERLIN, July 13.— Bank clerks
in this city setting the example to
conserve leather for the use of the
army, many are going barefoot in

PERSHING MAKES A
LARGE CONTRACT
PARIS, July 13.—General Persh- j
ing ban contracted for dockage
space which is based upon discharg
ing from transport one million men,
and which further is based upon a
daily discharge of cargo amounting
to fifty thousand tons. The an

on which the United States is about
to engage in the war.
PARIS, July 13.—The Belgian
Minister of War issued a communi
que relative to the German effort to
break through the Flanders front
indicating small loss and successful
counter attacks upon the part of the
Entente forces which effectively
resisted the effort of the Germans
to break through.
LONDON, July 13.—It is appar
ently quiet on the west front today,
both sides enjoying a lull after the
somewhat tempestuous offensives
which the Germans attempted in
Flanders and upon the Champagne
front during the week.
| LONDON, July 13.—Corrected
figures, for the week show that the
U boat activities once again show
a falling off. This does not mean
an abandonment of the campaign
It is pointed out that previously
such tactics were adopted upon the
part of the di\ers in order to throw
the armed merchantmen off the
guard after one or two unmolested
trips to the war zone. The extra
vigilance of the steamer and the
patrol fleet is without doubt respons
ible for the decrease.

TROOPS
GATES CHINK CITY
TIENSTIN, July 13.—That the
monarchists will not surrender o'itn
out a struggle is made apparent by
the re-organization of their forces
under the military leaders who fo
mented the monarchist conspiracy
in the army and who escaped before
they were arrested in Peking.
The monarchists and republicans
b< gan to fight this afternoon just
outside this city a ;o as flic ; are
both fairly evenly matched as far as
numbers ire concerned the battle
ought to he a discivr factor in the
outcome between the two sides.
The monarchists are well supplied
with arms and artillery, having gut
ted many of the government arse
nals before attempting to take the
field. Many of their leaders are
men who took a prominent part in
the war of tin revolution on the
side of the Mamhus and are some
of the former imperial staff.
The general belief is that regard
less of the outeome of tin battle
at this city so generally is the re
publican sentiment upheld that it
will ne impossible for the monarch
ists to he successful.
Reports are arriving here that
numbers cl republican troops aro
being rushed to reinforce the repub
lican army now engaging in battle.
Those com from a number of pro
vim os w! ieh refuse allegiance to
the mot,arch; under any considera
tion.
STATE OFFICIALS S8BE
LAWLESS DEPORTATION
B1SBEE, July 13.—Neither the
Federal nor the State authorities
support the wholesale deportations
which the companies and their de

on by the wholesale. Eleven hund
red strikers were deported last
night and among their number were
federal officials, industrialists and
prominent citizens who were favor
able to a strike.
Among the latter is William P.
Cleary, a leading attorney. The
government had not a thing to do
do with the deportations, another
example of high handed capitalist
lawlessness. The deportation was
was conducted by company men as
a result of the organization of the
workers.

to stop the deportation as it might
lead to sympathetic strikes which
would paralyze all industry.
