COPENHAGEN, Sept. 12.—A dis
patch to evening papers here states
that General Ivornlioff's rebellious
eossarks won their first battle over
the troops lcjal to K musky in a
battle north of Lu a; they are
continuing tbeii mar :t upon Petro
gracl. They declare Hi ir determin
ation to overthrow Kerensky.
WASHINGTON, !.' C., P ; I. 12.—
Commenting upon the Petrograd
dispatches stating that the civilian
population is fleeing from Petro
, grad, Secretary Lansing is authority
. for the statement that they ar>
j fleeing as much because of food
! shortage in the Russian capita:
which has for some time beer
acute as from fears of an impend
ing battle.
PKTROCKAD, Sept. 12.—The
j civil population began leaving thi ■
j city today. Owing to the couscrip
j tion of food for military purposes
and the placing of the city in a
state of siege, the inhabitant.-, have
been making tin ;r way to the co in
try adjacent to the city.
MOSCOW', Sept. ta.- -Following
the example of other cities, today
the Workers and Soldiers Cout.'-h
of Defense rc-solutioned it.; lovedty
to the Prctisioial Government and
assured Kerensky of staying with
him to the last.
While tin situation is serious, it
is believed that Kerensky will con
tinue to hold the upper hand.
PARIS, Sept. 12.—The evening
communique says that the French
following a lively fire penetrated
three German trench lines in the
St. Souplet sector. The fighting
from St. Martin to Massiges was con
ducted with great vigor. The viol
ent thrust enabling the French to
place in order the newly captured
lines for an effective defense. All
the lines taken were retained
against counters this evening.
LOXDGX, Sept. 12.—Sir Douglas
Haig reports that the Germans
under Prince Rupert made a des
perate attempt to dislodge the Brit
ish under General Plumer from
their gains in the Hargicourt sec
tor. The second attempt ended in
complete failure.
The capture of Harglcourts threat
ening the German salients at Bo
hain and Catelet is regarded by
German commanders as a serious
loss.
The British force at this point
is in a commanding position to on
flank the St. Quentin defenses.
It is somewhere in this sector
that the experts had worked it oat
it was likely the American troops
under Pershing .would first ac
tive service. If this is true they
face certain by stiff fighting.
The Germans have now deliverer,
five different attempts to set back
the Ifritish from their gains nude
southeast of Hargiocurt all of
which have been repulsed
You'll get it right in the Worker.
PARIS, Sept. 12.—M. Pain leave
does not want the job of forming
a cabinet. Although he undertook
the work with a light hand, the Mi
nister of War in the Ribot cabinet
has met very great and unexpected
obstacles in his efforts to induce
the available ministerial material
to accept portfolios. The anta
gonism that has arisen between the
bourgeois parties and the socialists
and the inclination towards sever
USKS GIANT.
It is a mistake, says a Marshal
miner, to think that mining is con
fined to operations on Willow creek
in the Marshal district. Geo M.
Pilcher is hydraulieking on Ele
phant creek using two giants and
getting a 110 foot head of water
from a two mile ditch. Waskey
is also hydraulieking on Slope
creek. Plying trips were made to
Marshal by Charlie Steinhauser of
Unalakleot in former days who is
now in North river. He intends to
continue its work in the north river
section. Trager of Unalakleet also
paid the camp a flying visit.

ity manifested by Ribot and which [
“firmness1’ led to his troubles,
being experienced by Paiuleave as,
an unpleasant legacy.
Today Minister Painleave asked
to be relieved of the task of form
ing a new cabinet, but President
Poincaire insisted that he continue.
After insistent urgings he agreed
to make another trial.
PARIS, Sept. 12.—German air
men today raided Dunkirk. The
damage done before they were
driven off was slight.
LONDON', Sept. 12.—U boat ac
tivities are on the increase and a
greater number of victims is ad
mitted since the beginning of the
month.
LONDON, Sept. 12.—In their
own offensive against Hargicourt
today one thousand Germans
caught in a barage tire and unable
to retire surrendered to the British.
This is the second occurence of the
kind in two months and is a re
markable testimony to the effective
work of the British artillery.
WILL DRAFT ALIENS
IF FINALLY APPROVED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 1?.—
The Chamberlain joint resolution
for drafting all aliens for war pur
poses was passed by the Senate to
day.
Under this resolution all aliens
in the United States will become
suoject to draft exeeept citizens oi
the Central Pcwers with which the
United States is at war. This leaves
one mil^on more men subject to
draft purposes for war.
Before the Clnmberi.iin resolu
tion was amended Oermau*. I'u ks,
Austrians and Bulgurs were in
cluded’ in the draft for non-war
purposes.
The constitutionality of the draft
ing of aliens is greatly questioned.
It is held that only for those who
vote could the draft be made avail
able under any circumstances.
Opponents of the resolution point
ed out that the United States had

SEATTLE Sept.. 12.—It. was
imped by ilie lumber interests that
after the raids upon the I. \V. W.

hour day would promptly end.
Today however the District Coun

! which reveals the fact that the luot-;

for it was decided to call a strike

\ WASHINGTON, D. C„ Sept. 12.—
Capital and labor joined bands to-'
, day. Gompers was labor and Kuhn
of Kuhn Loeb and Co. was capital.
They even sliooks hands while
! Sam Gompers said that this was
| capital and labor uniting to which ,
j Mr. Kuhn agreed.
They performed this ceremony
!in the presence of representatives
1 of fraternal and political organiza- ■
tions in the capital and declared!
that it was highly symbolic of the1
political and fraternal re-union ot
labor and capital to support Amer
.already fought a war to prevent
its citizens being dratted into
service. The war of 1812, it is
pointed out, was brought about by
the British navy impressing Amer
icans into their service.
For this reason, it was alleged
the Chamberlain resolution strikes
a blow at American precedent and
American principle.
It is not likely that it will bo
generally enforced, especially if
ica in the war.
Gotnpers says that the labor si-1
tuation is clarifying itself. The I
strike of the siiip workers, tiie mill
ers and other workers was settled
when the government laid the si
tuation before the Council of Na
tional Defense. Involved in the
ship workers strike were four thou
sand and in the miners strike were
three thousand men.
The strikes were effected by con
ceding the demands for an in
crease. If the Labor situation in
some places is improving it is be
cause of the fact that strikes have
taken place. So far as Gompers
activities are concerned, he has not
been able to secure any adjustment
of conditions likely to secure peace
in industry until tlie men. them
selves walked out. Some usually
conservative labor writers arc tak
ing ( are to point this out a kind of
fly in the ointment rubbed on so
thick today.

by aii aggressive offensive upon the
part of the Italians.
Tlie advances made up to this
and the important gains which are
to the credit of the Italian troops
are as nothing to the more difficult
defenses of the Austrians which
the Italian general has now to
overcome.
The morale of the troops is de
scribed as splendid and the men as
never in better fighting condition.
