London, Aug. 2.—British forces last night launched a counter attack against the German positions in Flanders. General Haig reports that the British troops completely re-es- tablished their former line near the Roulers-Ypres rajlway, some territory in which area the Germans yesterday had regained. The official statement on the battle in Flanders issued yesterday says: In spite of the weather which * made flying almost impossible, our airplanes kept in contact with our . advancing infantry throughout the day. The enemy’s airdromes, transport and infantry also were successfully attacked with bombs and machine gun fire. The few enemy machines that attempted to fly were at- tacked and six of them were brought down. Three of our airships are missing. The number of German pris- oners captured was 4,309, of which 85 were officers. These figures include such of the pris- oners as were captured in yes- terday’s operation who reached the collecting stations by six p. m. The capturned material includes eight big guns, 83 machine guns and 32 trench motars. Artillery Continues Attack. British Front in France and Bel- gium, Aug. 2.—"“The situation is un- changed.” This sums up the day’s news from the wide zone along which the British and French yesterday *hurled Prince Ruphrecht's forces back to the defenses at a depth vary- ing between one and three miles. Ar- tillery activities continue 'with great intensity, the British pouring a steady stream of high explosive shells into positions which the Germans now hold, but there was comparatively little infantry fighting. i The allies today were busy consoli- dating the positions they captured yesterday. Heavy German counter at- tacks had been looked for but out- side of a few local attempts to re- gain positions these did not material- ize. This was perhaps due partly to the heavy rain which has continued without cessation since last night, filling shell holes with water and “turning the ground into a deep mud over which it is dificult to fight. The German guns, however, many of which had been withdrawn to posi- tions further back before the rain began, have been carrying on a steady bombardment especially against the territory captured by the allies on the northern side of Ypres salient but their firing has been more or less ‘erratic because of the storm which blocked the work of the observation officers. As usual, the Germans are employing great quantities of gas shells. Due to the complete preparation for yesterday’s assault the British casualties have not been excessive but the condition of the battlefleld and statements by prisoners indicate that the German losses were exceedingly heavy. The British armies have again evinced & most complete organization. Prussians, Bavarians and Saxons, all have given of their number to swell the total captured and no more dejected appearing have been seen in British prisons since the beginning of the war. Most of these prisoners are “a miserable, sorry-looking lot, many of them suffering from internal com- plaints caused by exposure and the majority from hunger. Few of them have any hopes of Germany winning the war, and one officer ventured the opinion that the time of the father- land’ downfall was near. He based his opinion largely on the scarcity of men and certainly boyish faces now in prison cages appear to be indica- tive of a lack of human material Germans Attack in Storm. Paris, Aug., 2.—Bad weather con- tinues in Belgium, says the official statement this afternoon. The Ger- " mans last night made two attacks to the east and southeast of Rheims, but both failed.

American Training Camp, in France \Aug. 1.—General Pershing gave the American expeditionary force an ex- ample of the strenuous life by sweep- ing through nearly a dozen villages where United States soldiers are liv- ing in France and visiting nearly all training centers which have been es- tablished for America’s first great contribution for the war for democ- racy. It was not a cursory inspection that the general made. He went into de- tails all along the line, questioned private soldiers, company cooks and various other ranks as to how things were going with them and what, if anything, could be done to improve the situation. General Pershing was expected Monday but delayed leaving Paris until late Tuesday. He spent the night at a quaint little French village and removed to the American army areat early today. His visit was en- tirely informal and he found the forces just as he desired—engaged in ‘their daily routine work and drill.

This is a big task, but it is moving along smoothly and in a most satisfactory manner. “The work at certain ports of dis- embarkation is well started. Railroad material 18 coming over as rapidly as can be arranged. The progress we have made thus far with the as- sistance of the French is a scource of great satiafaction to me. Billets and training ground for men are as well located as could be expected at this time of the year, when space is limited by crops in the flelds. “After these.are removed we will have plenty of space for lodging and training the divisions that are to come, Some of the places where men are now sleeping are not all that could be desired, but this soon will be remedied by the construction of portable barracks, Training is pro- gressing very well with the assistance of the French.” General Pershing was untiring in hs inspection of the training area. He inquired into every phase of the men’s daily life, the character and the the quantity of their food, even to the farmers who were delighted to have this matter. WIVES WHILE YOU WAIT Brokers Reported .Supplying .Brides for Those Who Seek Exemption from Army Because of Dependants. New York, Aug. 2.—Agents of the department of justice, it was said to- day, were ¢onducting an investigation here to learn if marriage brokers have been supplylng women as wives for men seeking exemption from service with the national army.

As a result of the action taken by the federal authorities there was ex- pected to ba further falling off today in the number of applications for licenses. U. 8.

Aug. 2.—According to. a Petrograd despatch to the Post, Rus. slan army commanders had a con- ference at headquarters recently and virtually sent an ultimatium to Pre- mier and War Minister Kerensky that unless the army was kept outside politics and treated merely as a fight- ing machine they would resign an as being unable to carry on the war vic- toriously. The correspondent believes the ul- timatim will be accepted. Russia Still Determ!ned. Petrograd, Aug. 2,—Foreign Minis- ter Terestchenko has sent the follow- ing telegram to Russian diplomats accredited to the Allied powers: “At a moment when new and grave misfortunes are threatening Russia, we consider it our dutyto give to our Allies who have shared with us the burden of trials in the past a firm and definite explanation of our point of view regarding the conduct of the war. The greatness of the task of the Russian revolution corresponds to the magnitude which it caused in the life of the state. Reorganization in the face of the enemy of the entire governmental system could not be ef- fected without serious disorders. Nevertheless Russia, convinced therc is no other means of safety, has con- cluded in accord with the Allies, com- mon action on the front. “Fully conscious of the difficulties of the task, Russia has taken up the burden of conducting actlve military operations during reconstitution of the army and the government. The of- fensive of our armies, which was necessitated by a strategical situation, encountered insurmountable obstacles on both fronts and in the interior of the country. The criminal propagan- da of irresponsible elements was used by enemy agents and provoked a re- volution 'in Petrograd. At the same time, part of the troops on the front were seduced by the same propadanda, forgot their duty to the country and facilitated the enemy piercing our front. “The Russian people’ have been stirred by these events. Through the government created by revolution and an unshakable will the revolt = was crushed and its originators were brought to justice. All necessary steps have been taken at the front for re- storing the combative strength of the armies. “The government intends bringing to a successful end of establishing l-an administration capable of meeting all dangers and gulding the ‘country in the path of revolutionary regenera- tion. Russia will not suffer herself to be deterred by any difficulty in carrying out the irrevocable decision to continue the war to a final triumph of the principle proclaimed by the Russian revclution. “In the. presence of an enemy menace, the country and the army will continue with renewed courage the great work of restoration, as well as the preparation of the threshold of the fourth vear of the war, for the coming campaign. We firmly believe that Russian citizens will combine all efforts to fulfill the sacred task of de- i fending .the beloved country and that the enthusiasm which lighted in their breast a flame of faith in the triumph of liberty will direct the whole invin- cible force of revolution against the enemy who threatens the country.” Foreign Minister Terestchenko sent a circular to the Allies declaring it was necessary to take steps to restore the combative strength of the armies, The government, he said, will not be deterred by any differences regarding the prosecution of the war to a final triumph. The Treorganized and re- generated armies, he said, will at the appointed hour resume their onward march to victol ‘Women Rush to Colors. Petrograd, Aug., 1.—As the result of the heroic conduct at the front of Miss Vera Butchkareff’s female bat- talion the movement for the creation of a great women's army is progress- ing throughout Russia like wildfire.

Charters will be requisitioned under a recent act of congress authorizing the president to commandeer tonnage for government uses. The program is preliminary to put- ting into operation an agreement be tween the American and British gov - ernments for joint control of the world’s shipping. It will give the shipping board control of ' ocean freight rates charged by American ships and a rate basis being worked out will be used for building an in- ternational rate schedule. The chief alm in commandeering charters is to get more ships in trans- atlantic service. Many American coastwise vessels and ships now en- gaged in the Pacific and South Amer- ican trade will be diverted to trams- atlantic runs. Their places will be taken to a large extent by neutral ships and by Japanese tonpage. The plan is to commandeer char- ters, and, wherever advisable, let the ship itself be operated by its owner under a government charter. In this way the government will direct oper- ations and specify services in which ships shall ply and at the same time avoid expenditure of the vast sum of money that would be required if the hulls themselves were taken over. Wherever operators fail to carry out the shipping board’'s regulations charters will be taken from them and given to others. DEFENDS SLACKERS. Boston, Aug. 2.—City Registrar Ed- ward W. McGlenen is of the opinion that the increase in the number of marriage licenses recently issued here. | is far from indicating that ‘“slackers’ are seeking to avoid the draft, but is due to the desire of many en}isted men to be married before going on active service.

IT'S UP T0 AMERICA General Maurice Says Russia Can Be Counted On No Longer Must Jump Into Gap. and We T.ondon, Aug. “‘Looking from the broadest aspect at the events of the past fortnight in Russia,” said i Major General Frederick B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the war office in his weekly talk to- day to the Associated Press. “It will necessarily mean a prolongation of the war. We cannot longer count on any great material assistance from Russia. This means a greater burden on the other Allies, and for the Unit- ed States it means that she must come into the field as soon as possible, and with the greatest possible forces.” K General Maurice continued: *This week the battle in Flanders was en- tire success. General Sir Douglas Haig fixed a definite line of objectives, and, speaking generally, he attained it successfully. On the southern end of the front he attacked and gained his objective easily. part the enemy’s resistance broke down so completely that Gen. Haig felt jutisfied in permitting his troops to go well beyond the objective. In the central third we fell a little short of the objective owing to stubborn enemy resistance .
