" CENTRAL POWERS AT ODDS ON POPE’S PEACE PROPOSAL Differences Believed Have Been Revealed By Michaelis’ Speech Before Main Committee. POLITICAL PARTIES UNIT FOR MESSAGE All Factions Declare for Support of Chancellor's Views — Semi-Official News Bureau in Vienna, Usually Considered as Voice of Government, Declares Press Favors Discussion of Pontiff’s Terms. Berne, Switzerland, Aug., 22.—In diplomatic circles the passage in the speech of Dr. George Michaeljs, the German chancellor, in which he said that “notwithstanding efforts to hasten a decision, it has not yet been possible for Germany to agree with her allies concerning a joint reply to the Papal note” is interpreted as in- dicating a difference of opinion be- tween Berlin and Vienna and also be- tween Vienna and Sofia. Austria, according to reports, desires complete acceptance aof the Papal note, whereas Germany wishes only conditional acceptance and Bulgaria demands public assurance by her allles that she may annex the terri- tories now occupied by her. Political Parties in Accord. Copenhagen, Aug., 22.—After Chan- cellor Michaelis had informed the main committe of the Reichstag Tues- day that Germany would not reply to the Papal peace note until she had consulted her allies, socialist speakers who followed him said they welcomed the Pape's action as they would wel- come any step capable of bringing peace,: and all the more because it was expected to bear results. The liberals declared themselves In agreement with the chancellor's sym- pathetic interpretation of the Pope's action, The centerists said the Pope's pro- posals marked extraordinarily valu- able progress toward peace, which was so ardently desired by all ha- tions. They hoped that the act of his Holiness would meet with full . success. - The national liberal speakers said they were unable as yet to examina closely the contents of the Papal note but endorsed the chancellor's state« ments. The conservatives also assoclated with Dr. Michaelis’ remarks, but re- served their attitude with regard ta the detalls. The German group especially wel- comed the chancellor’s firm declara- tion that the note emanated spontan- eously from the Pope. They regard- ed the Pope's action as more sympa- thetic than President Wilson’s previ- ous attempt at mediation. Independent socialists regretted that the speakers expressed only general sympathy with the note without dis- cussing it. The Reichstag must exert fts influencé in drafting the reply, he maid. One socialist sald there was no question of the Reichstag such influ- ence, but some days must be allowed to enable the government to confer with the allies. The government having promised not to reply without taking the Reich- stag into its confidence, the main com- mittee adjourned. Vienna Press Favors Note. A telegram from the official Corr Bureau of Vienna seems to indicate that Austria-Hungary will accept the Pope's peace propcsal. A summary of Austro-Hungarian press opinifon cir- culated by the Corr bureau says: “The newspapers regard theé con- crete proposals in the peace methods as a suitable basis for beginning peace negotiations but doubt whether the Entente shares this hope.” In view of the well known prac- tices of the Corr bureau in preparing such summaries this may undoubtedly be regarded as the government's voice. The bureau then ingeniously suggests that ‘“‘when the Pope referred to territorial questions between Austria and Italy he could not have Austrian soil in mind because the alienation thereof is not to be discussed.” The Vienna Reichspost says it has reliable information that the Pope's peace note is in absolute harmony with the aims of the monarchy. Aus- tria-Hungary, according to the paper, is willing to evacuate occupied terri- tory and renounce claim to indemni- tles once the Pope’s ideas of disarm- ament, international arbitration and freedom of the seas are guaranteed and world peace is carried out, but all the consequences deductable of the Pope’s proposals must be understood to be included therein: namely the dis- appearance of the British naval buses at Gibraltar, Malta and the Suez can- al, and also the Itallan abandonment of Varona. RUNS ASHORE IN FOG An Atlantic Port, Aug. 22.—The British stcamer City of Lahore, from an Oriental port, with 53 passengers, ‘an ashore in a fog off the New Eng- land coast today and later floated without assistance. A radio message from the vessel stated that she was proceeding on her voyage. | | LINCOLN’S BIRTHPLACE. Louisville, Aug. 23.—Larue county, Kentucky, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, made a per- fect record in the draft, according’ to the official list received here to- day. Larue county’s quota for the national army was 132 men. Only 132 were examined. Not one claimed exemption and not one failed to pass the physical éxam- ination. g to} PERFECT DRAFT RECORD IN EXPECTS NO SECOND CALL FOR SOLDIERS Crowder Says It Never Was Discussed ‘Within His Hearing—No Plans Made for Such. ‘Washington, Aug. 22.—A full sta- tistical report on the operations of the draft law will be prepared by the pro- vost general's office as soon as the mobilization of the first increment of 687,000 men of the national army has been completed, some time early in October. Pending the preparation of the re- port and the careful analysis of the conditions it discloses no steps toward calling a second increment to the colors will be taken. General Crowder said today that the call for the second increment never had been considered at any conference at which he was present. The first increment will fill at the training areas — Natlonal Guard camps and nationdl army canton- ments—to capacity. The regulars are now 22,000 above full authorized war strength by voluntary enlistment and the National Guard is in a similar situation. Training facilities are to make ready for the front men now mobil- ized. EXCURSION TRAIN - COACHES CRUMPLE One Dead, Others Dying, Between 20 and 30 Injured at Lime City, Ohio. Toledo, Aug. 22.—The second sec- tion of a Columbus Retail Gracers’ as- sociation excursion train on the Tola- do and Ohio Central Rallroad , was wrecked this morning at Lime City, ten miles south of here. One rallroadman is known to be dead, several passengers are dying in hospitals at Perrysburg and Maumee, and 20 to 30 mare are inurjed more or less seriously. The cause of the wreck is sald to have been the sudden setting of the airbrakes. The heavy locomotive top- pled over and several ctoaches were crumpled in the wreck. INTRODUCED TO TEAR GAS. American Soldiers Shown Reliability \ of Their Masks. American Tralning Camp in France, Aug. 22 (By the Associated Press)— (delayed).—Work began at the Amer- ican fleld-headquarters of accustoming the men of the American force to some of their stealthy enemies on the actual battle front. They were intro- duced to dugouts filled with tear gas such as the Germans are so fond of spraying about behind the fighting lines through the medium of thou- sands of vari-calibred shells. The Germans also have hand grenadea filled with liquid which explode in blinding fumes. The object of ta-day’s demonstra- tion was to prove to the men the ab- solute reliability of their face gas masks, for after being put through the dugouts without the slightest in- convenience with their masks on, they all are allowed to get in front of the gas without the masks. With smart- ing eyes they quickly realized haw im- portant the daily face mask drills are, for not only the men’s eyes but their lives depend upon speed with which the masks can be adjusted when the alarm is given. Later the men will have experience Wwith real asphyxiat- ing gas. YANKEE AIRMAN KILLED Julian Biddle of Lafayette Esquadrille Loses Life in Service of France— ‘Willis Inside German Lines, Parls, Aug. 22.—Jullan Biddle of the Lafayette Aerial Squadron was killed in the service two days ago. It is now learned definitely that Corporal Harold Willis of Boston, who has been missing for several days, was brought down inside the German lines by a German machine. CONN. MEN FOR WEST POINT. Hartford, Aug. 22.—Governor Hol- comb has been asked by the war de- partment fo nominate three men from the Connecticut National Guard, now in the federal service for West Point before November 15.

IRISHMEN CHARGE IN RAIN OF LEAD Smash at Germans Although Every Step Nearer Means Death BRIGHT PAGE IN HISTORY Men From the North and Men From the South Strike Out at Bavariai and Defy Machine Sweeping Guns. British Front in France and Belgl- um, Aug. 22 (by the Assoclated Press) —The story of the vallant fight waged by Irish battalions, both Ulstermen and South of Ireland men, in the lat- est ‘British offensive northeast of Ypres forms one of the most remark- able pages in the history of this san- guinary battle. As was the case with the intrepid Londoners in Polygon wood to the south, they did not achieve the success which they sought but the struggle they made against overwhelming odds will make their names immortal in Irish annals. The ground over which the Irish troops fought Thursday may roughly be placed as lying between Fortuin om the north and Frezenberg on the south. Before them lay strong Bavar- lan positions scattered over a terrain which, at first blush, made an advance seem impossible. Stretching out from the Zonnebeke-Langemarck road across the center of was a ridge which dominated all sur- rounding ground and from a myriad of machine guns on the crest could be poured a deluge of bullets into ad- vancing ranks. f Through the southern portion of this section the swollen Zonnebeke river poured its muddy water, and scattered along both banks of the stream were many steel and concrete redoubts holding from 20 to 100 Germans, all well armed. Immediately in front of the Irish was undulating ground. Every knoll was a strong Bavarian po- sition and the whole section was filled with concrete redoubts and shell holes lined with machine guns. Depres- sions in the ground were a mass of knee-deep mud caused by recent rains and the flood of the river. Face Torrent of Tead . The lrish battalions were muddy and wet when they began the attack. ‘The Ulstermen were on the left of this battlefield and the men of the south on the right. Shoulder to shoulder they moved out among the heart- breaking obstacles at the dawn of day bogging at every step and all that hu- man beings could do under such cir- cumstances they did. As they ad- vanced they first encountered the cus- tomary thinly held Une of German outposts among the shell craters. These Bavarians fell back, and almost immediately the Irishmen found them- selves facing fire from every machine gun before them; vicious rapid fire whipping out a steady stream of lead breast high across the whole battle- fleld. Amidst this hail of bullets and crashing shells the Irishmen pushed doggedly forward. The Ulstermen first struck a position called Pond Farm, below Fortuin. Here were many machine guns placed in concrete pits behind which were strong re- doubts and deep dugouts. The Ulster- men plunged into the gun pits and a fierce struggle followed. The Bavar- jans would not surrender but fought until the last German lay crumpled beyide his gun. A small garrison was left to hold this place, and the Irish- men pushed on. There was. bitter fighting at every step. Near Pond Farm they were held up by partly cut barbed wire elements and as they -struggled through this they were swept with bullets. Nu- merous redoubts were encountered be- yond and in most cases it was hand to hand fighting to & finish with a stubborn enemy. The Scuthern Irish at a given hcur went forward with all the coolness which made them famous at Ginchy and other places. They surged on through the mire to some of their objectives but they had passed numerous unsilenced machine gun em- placements, and following waves of in- fantry were held up by these. Fight With Clubbed Rifles. North of Frzenberg was a redoubt called Borry Farm, holding 60 to 80 | Bavarians with machine guns. The position was too strong for the infan- try to take but the Irishmen battled on until these troops which had es- sayed an attack on the lay dead or wounded before it. But others pushed forward to hill 35 as this ridge, which dominated the su rounding ground, was known and for u time that eminence was actually in British hands. But it was too import- ant a position for the Germans to re- linquish. They massed great num- bers of men behind it and hurled them ugainst the Irish. The latter met the onslaught with bayonet and clubbed riles and fought as their forefathers fought, flercely and determinedly. But they were greutly outnumbered and gradually they were forced to full buck until the Germans had regained their hold on the hill. The Bavarians then began a series of heavy counter attacks and the Irish, many of them wounded and all exhausted, reached the trenches which and which they until they they left at dawn held. No more heroic effort has heen made =ince the war began than this.

Senator Lewis was speaking in support of Senator Gerry's amend- {ment to the war tax bill to greatly increase taxes on great incomes. “There has' been inconceivable in- | genjous lylng on the income tax schedules before the finance commit- tee that would in other forums sub. {Ject these’ responsible to' perjury, said he. “In the treasury department at this hour 'is proof of $800,000,000 swindled out of the government by fraud, perjury, deception and - other definite forms, of commercial trick- ery on.the income tax returns. , If it had not been for a certain set of men who prate loudly about patriot- ism and cry for war, there would have been no necessity for levying the heavy burdens of this bin.” Vo He also said that had “this set of very wealthy men” shown fidelity and honesty in making their income tax returns, the government would in past years have had ample funds for preparedness purposes.” After protracted debate in which many senators urged heavier levies on incomes and war profits in the war tax bill, the senate tentatively adopted Senator Gerry's amendment which would add $40,375,000 by greatly increasing surtaxes on in- comes exceeding $500,000. Having determined the prices to be charged for bituminous coal at the mines throughout the country, Presi- dent Wilson today turned his atten- tion again to the task of sclecting a man to head the coal administration, The trading with the enemy act, passed by the house, was today re- ported favorably to the senate by the commerce committee, amended to permit enemy insurance or re-insur- ance companies to continue business in the United States under certain ! conditions. The committee also add- | ed an amendment authorizing the federal trade commission to license citizens to take over and use enemy owned patents and to fix the value. The president is believed to have abandoned the federal trade commis- sion proposal to commandeer the out- put of the mines and sell the product to the public. ‘The department of agriculture set in motion .today the machinery for taking a nation-wide census of the food supply. The survey, including 100 different foodstuffs, will fegister supplies on farms, in warehouses and stores, and even in family larders, A preliminary census of 18 of the principal commodities will be taken within the next month, and a com- plete survey will follow after the sea- son's crops are gathered. Inventories will be turned over to the food administration. CANADA ABANDONS MUNITION MAKING Majority of Factories to Be Employed Producing Equipment for Shipping.

British Front in France and Bel- gium, Aug. 22 (by the Press)—The British began another operation northeast of Ypres at dawn today, on the battle scarred ground between Langemarck and Frezenberg. No~details are yet avail- able from this sector, which was the scene of some of the heaviest fight- ing last Thursday in the assault by the British. Meanwhile the conflict continues about Leéns though apparently great- ly diminished, the Canadians still holding the Germans off from the positions which they had gained on the southwestern part of the city yes- terday and at the same time clinging to the numerous posts in the German line on the northwestern section. Fierce hand-to-hand fighting con- tinued into the night, especially in the northwest portion which lies between the Germans and Hill 70. The Ger- mans continued to fling heavy counter attacks and the battle surged back and forth amid the ruined bulildings and trenches. “This morning the advantage rested with the British and nowhere had the Germans been able to reach the lines. It now appears from the statements of Germen prisoners that the German counter attack at awn yesterday, which by a strange coincidence began. at the same hour as that of the Canadian attack, was preliminary to a general counter attack which had as its object the recovery of Hill 70, pos- session of which is necessary if the Germans are to continue their hold on Lens. Large numbers of troops had been massed for this attack and those were used freely in the sanguinary struggle of yesterday. s Associated British Stick at Lens. London, Aug. 22.—In the face of heavy German counter attacks tho British have maintained the newly- gained positions on the outskirts of Lens, the war office announces. Fur- ther progress has been made at some points. Berlin, Aug. 22, via. London.— French troops have gained a footing in the southeastern part of Avocourt court and on the knolls to the east of that position, on the Verdun front, says the official statement issued to- day by the German war office. The statement also says that the French forced their way into the the German positions in the southern part of the village of Samogneux, on the east bank of the Meuse. The losses of the French infantry were heavy and the French command had to replace some of the attacking divi- sions. After the battle around Lens, yes- terday, the staff reports the coal de- posits southwest of the French min- ing center remained’ in the hands of the French. Crown Prince Fails Again. Paris, Aug. 22—The Germans made a violent counter attack last night on the Verdun ‘front west of the Meuse. They penetrated the French lines at points in their attempts to recapture the ground taken from them in the French- offensive, but, the war office announces, were driven out. Ger- man attacks east of the river also were repulsed. The number of pris- oners taken has reached 6,116. Vienna Admits Backward Step. Vienna, Aug. 22, via London.—The new attack of the Itallans has forced back the Austrian line at some points, the war office announces, and the v lage of Selo, on the Carso plateau, has been lost.

Washington, Aug. 22.—Official de- spatahes have been received from Russia within the last 24 hours of such a character as to cause some concern over the situation they pic- ture. They will not be made public much less be discussed at this time by American officlals who regard them as indications of condition with which the provisional government has to deal. Suggestions that the de- spetches deal with the possibility of the socialist element gaining the upper hand and forcing' some con- sideration of peace out of harmony with Russia’s allies or some new un- dercurrent seeking to undermine Pre- mier Kerensky, met only the reply that the despatches cannot be dis- | cussed or made public. It is known, however, that they re- fer to no physical event such as would be suppressed by the censor- ship at Petrograd, but rather are an estimate of political conditions. The extent of German intrigue in Russia is well known and the sub- ject matter of the despatch probably is connected with that. CITY SEEKS FOSTER PAREN Verdun Wants to Be Adopted by American Municipality. Paris, Aug. 22.—A deputation from the municipal council -of Verdun called upon Wm. G. Sharp, the Amer- ican ambassador, today to suggest the possibility of some American city adopting Verdun, as it were ,to as- sist in the reconstruction of the city hall, water works, schools and other ruined public properties. The mayor read. an address wherein he alluded to the great kindness of the United States toward France and the liber- ality of some American citics in as- sisting ruined French cities. Mr. Sharp in reply referred to the admiration of Americans for the he- roic defense of Verdun and his in- tention to take into consideration best means of bringing the request of the Verdun city authorities to the at- tention of the United States. It ap- peared during the conversation thar only six civilians are now in Verdun as firemen and police. DR.
