letin of the Metal Workers and

that of the men who hanged Little

WASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. 3.—
There are now officially reported by
the Department of Labor three
hundred s-trikes in the United
States of major importance.
THE HAGUE,, Aug. 3.—Czerno
witz the capital of the Austrian
Crown Land of Bukowina has been
captured by the Austrian troops,
says a Vienna dispatch. Czernowitz
has changed hands four times
since the great war began and the
city is in a mass of ruins.
PETROGRAD, Aug. 3.—The eva
cuation of Kimpolu.ig, sixty miles
south of Czernowhz and tin
southern key to the present Rus
sian line in Bukowina is admitted
officially by the war office.
The Russians also continue to re
tire across the Zbr’.ze river on th;
Galician front.
LONDON Aug. 3.—The situation
in the Russian war zone is regard
ed as beyond repair in the more
pessimistic quarters of the press ex
perts on the war. On the other
hand some ot the more conserva
tive experts think that after the
collapse of the campaign against
Lemberg there was literally nothing
else to do.
H is held that the Russian gen
eral must be practically immune
from a heavy offensive before he
can complete the re-organization
plans which are now under way and
which will result in vast and radical
changes in the army system itself.
Korniloff hr.s been given a free hand
in this re-organization and told to
go ahead. Brussiloff thought that
the army could be held together as
it was by getting back behind the
first lines of defenses.
WILL SEIZE SHIPS
ARE NOW BUILDING
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. 3.—
A far reaching decision was reached
today by the United States Shipping
Board.
It is announced that the govern
ment wlil commandeer all ships of
suitable tonnage now building in
the yards throughout the country.
This decision was reached after
the IT. S. shipping board and Admi
ral Capps, General Manager of the
United States Kniergeucy Fleet had
held quite a prolonged conference.
KAC’K DKAHA TONIGHT
IUSHM w-bavm: SlMt.W,
Of all the ra.-e track plays ever
produced ‘Blue Grass" is the win
ner. With famous Thomas Wise in
the stellar role, of owner of “Blue
Grass”, it is the best sporting ro
mance seen in the Dream. Three
different races take place and race
track scenes are produced in abund
ance.
Sunday night the great Metre
drama “Pennington’s Choice", fea
turing Francis X. Bushman and
Beverly Bayne will be the bill. A
redblooded play throughout. The
story deals with tlie North woods
and one of the most thrilling scenes
is Bushman's fight against twe
woodsmen. A scene showing JJir
Jeffries training Bushman is alsc
shown. Its a great show and
starts at 6.30 sharp.
[ Ships building for private inter-'
I ests either foreign or domestic and
even for foreign governments will
| be taken over by the United States, I
! it is officially stated today.
Some of these ships now building j
j for foreign interests and foreign
j governments are nearing completion [
i while ships which are contracted for
! January delivery are very nunier
1 ous.
In shipping circles it is believed
that this step will be followed later
by the taking over by the United
States of all shipping in the coun
try that may be adapted l'or the
uses of the government.
Taken in conjunction with the re
cent protest of the President at tin
high war rates which are being
barged, it is considered that this
sti p will later on be inevitable.
VIOLENT FIGHT IS
IN FAVOR GERMANS
LONDON, Aug. 3.—Violent light
ing in the Givenchy sector saw the
Germans strike back strongly last
night when in that section of Fland
ers they penetrated the British lines
in a fierce night attack.
il is officially announced that the
Germans attacked along a half mile
front following a terrific bombard
ment of the positions gained
throughout the day by the British
and the Teuton forces took posses
sion of the first line of British
tn i.rhes after terrific hand to hand
combats when the German mawcii
attacks got beyond the read) of the
machine gun fire and freely u.-mg
hand grenades conducted a savage
assault.
The British returned the attack
this morning and after desperate
battling succeeded in re-gaining
part of the ground lost during tin
night attack.
BERLIN, Aug. f>.—It is officially
announced that well directed, well
timed and energetic counters by tin
German infantry are stemming the
tide of the Allied advance in Fland
ers, re-taking during last night's
fighting some of the lines lost ear
lier in the day.
The fighting is continuing in this
section of the west front, the at
tacks being more than usually
violent. While the German lines
bent under the attack, the inability
of the enemy to break through has
again been demonstrated to the sa
tisfaction of the General Stall'.
WASHINGTON, P. Aug. 3.—
Practically conceding tlie one man
i ontrol with subordinate limitations
by way of compromise, the House
adopted tlie conference report upon
the Food bill and it is now up to
the Senate for final passage before
teaching President Wilson for his
'.gnat ure.
When the bill reached the voting
stage, which it did almost immedi
ately on its emerging rrom the con-j
terence stage with the recommenda
tion for immediate passage, there i
ere 375 member* all of whom I
answered their names when the roll
was called.
The. measure thereupon received,
assent without a single voice in on-'
position. Considering the almost in- j
terminable wrangle to which the
bill was subjected, this is considered
a remarkable condition, hut the err-1
tiial situation now looming through
out tlie country owing to 1 igh prices
and the consequent inffusTlal tin- ]
res! practically compelled the mem
bers to unanimous consent.
Further the. House ..'so a creed to
tli“ passage of the F< od survey fail
and its cost of operation which is
very high. The appropriation car
ried in the bill amounts to fourteen
million dollars and practically gives
the survey unlimited powers for
set tiring information about the
available commodities for domestic
or foreign consumption
Thi' passage of th se bills, it is
argued, will lie followed by a
pri mpt e;,'.lapse in all lines which
are now above the high water mark
of prices.

WASHINGTON, D. C„ Aug. 3.—
As one of the leading senators in
charge of the revenue bill remarked
today, Chairman Kitchin will not
recognize the House bill devised by
his Committee, when the Senate
Committee is through with the re
vision to which it is being subjected
by the upper house.
To all intents and purposes it is
a new bill. It has had most of its
clauses sub clauses, sections and
paragraphs re-written.
It was announced today that the
Senate Finance Committee which
has been quite a while revising the
liquor taxes sections has virtually
I completed the work and in doing
! so, the work of re-drafting the
Kitchin law is also approaching
completion.
As it stands there is little re
| semblance to the bill as it passed
the House. It is much more in
volved and has sought out and
found almost everything likely to
pay a tax. The taxes have jumped
from the great profit-making indi
viduals and corporations to articles
of every day consumption so that
i veryone will have to pay a share.
Moreover the revenue which will
he raised by the Senate Bill will
amount to two billion, two million
dollars a year instead of the one
billion odd which Kitchin's measure
was planned to collect. That the
bill will cause a battle royal similar
to the food bill does not admit of
any question.
