Political troubles in Petrograd, the contiunance of the Russian retreat and a further advance by the British in Flanders stand out from the war news. Northeast of Ypres on Friday the troops of Field Marshal Haig ke- established themselves in the town of Saint Julien, captured by them on Tuesday but from whieh they were driven by the Germans on Wednesday. Additional ground was gained south of Hollebeke, near the center of the line on which the allied attack was launched early this week. British artillery dispersed Germans prepar- ing to attack near Ypres and fore- stalled any attempt by the Teutons to charze against the British- lines. On Tuesday, the first day of the allied advance, 6122 Germans were made prisoners by the Anglo-French forces. ear Monchy le Preux, southeast of Arras, the Germans on _Thursdgy night entered British front line trenches at two points. Desperate fighting ensued and the British dur- ing Friday re-took most 6f the ele- ments.

With apparentiy no let-up in_the Russian retreat along the lne from low cabinet members, except one, re- signed, but later with the exception of M. Terestchenko, the foreign min- ister, withdrew their resignations. To defend himself against charges that he had been connected with the Ger- man general staff, M. Tchernoff, the socialist minister of agriculture, has resigned. Efforts to strengthen the Russian cabinet bv the inclusion of Constitutjonal democrats, seemingly have failed and Premier Kerensky will attempt to rule e country with aides from the radical and socialist parties. General -Erdelli, recently ap- pointed military governor of Petro- grad, is reported to have been as- sassinated. The line of the River Zbrocz at its confluence with the Dniester has been given up at several places by the Russians, who, however, fought stub- ornly to hold back the Austro-Ger- mans. Between the Dniester and the Pruth the’ Russians have not halted in_their retreat toward the border. Bukowina is almost entirely in the hands of the Teutons again. Czer- nowitz, the capital, has been occupied by the Germans and Kimpolung, an important town several miles south of the Rumanian border, has' been evacuated by the Russians.

Has Been Decided Upon by the Shop- pira Board. Washington, Aug. —Immediate commandeering of most of the ves- sels under construction in Aemrican shipbuilding plants was decided on today by the shipping board. The step is preliminary to the requisition- ing of the American tonnage already on the seas and will be taken to speed construction so that the yards o or be cleared for building ships which the government has let con- tracts. There are building_in the vards of the company about 700 ships total- ling more than 1,500,000 in tonnage, most of it for foreign account. Hulls and contracts both will be taken over, the final disposition of the foreign craft to be left to negotiations be- tween the United States and the gov- ermnents concerned. The completed American ships will be retained by the board for operation. Commandeering of tonnage building was one of the features of the pro- gramme for shipbuilding announced by Major General Goethals just be- fore his resignation ss manager of the fleet corporation was accepted by President Wilson. Chairman Den- man's blocking of this programme was one of the things that led to Mr. Denman’s removal by the president. General Goethals' plan for con- structing two great government- owned ship yards for building frabri- cated steel ships will be taken up by the board lafer. It is understood Rear Admiral Capps, now manager of the fleet corporation, is opposed to the form of contracts proposed by the zeneral for this work and that the whole scheme may be abandoned. In that event the fabricated ships would be bullt in private yards for govern- ment account. The board will make no move to- ward requisitioning American tonnage already on the seas for several days. Several legal hitches are to be straightened out before any ships are taken over. GEORGIA, FLQRIDA AND ALABAMA R. R. TIED UP Strike of Four U n Brotherhoods Started Thursday Night. Bainbridge, Ga., Ausz, 3—Not a wheel turned today on the Georgia, Florida and Alabama Railroad be- cause of a strike of the four union brotherhoods started last night after Judge W. M. Harrell of the superior court had issued a permanent injunc- tion against strike by the trainmen’s brotherhoods. The court order was based on the ground that under the Adamson law brotherhoods might not strike within the nine months pre- scribed as a test period for the law. Railroad officlals declared national brotherhood heads had refused their requests to supply union men to op- erate trains.

Oklahoma City, ~Okla., Aug. 3.— Bands of negroes, tenant farmers and Indians, whose purpose is to defeat the selective service law in Oklahoma, have spread a reign of terror through three counties in the central part of the state, partially destroyed two bridges, abandoned their crops. .sev- ered wire communication, planned raids on ranches and stores, and threaten to burn all the bridges in the Aistrict, according to reports received by Governor Williams toda Late today it was undecided whether to send national guardsmen to quell the disturbance or to organize civilian companles, familiar with the country, which is rugged and choked with un- derbrush. A representative from the governor's office who has just returned from the district where the variolis bands are cperating recommends the latter plan. The affected countles are Seminole, Hughes and Pontotoc and the sheriffs and prosecuting attorneys from each of them are forming posses in an effort to_forestall the rioters. The bands are organized into sev- eral bodies, the strongest of which is known as the Working Class union, whose membership is said to number zbout 300. This organization is sup- plemented by I. W. W. agitators and a smaller group known as the “Jones Family.” Seminole county eeems to be the Leart of the chaos-ridden region, where trouble has been brewing since the Lassage of the draft law. Four suspects have been arrested. TRIBUTE BY PROFESSION TO VETERAN ACTOR Jere J. Cohan of Famous “Four Co- hans” Quartette.

DOUBLE TAX ON BEER; TREBLED ON WINE. War Tax Bill Put Into Final Form for Report to the Senate. ‘Washington, Aug. 3—The war tax bill, under revision since May 24, was put into final form for report to the senate today by the finance committee. It provides for approximately $2,000,- 000,000 in taxes to meet war expenses, but makes no provision for further bond authorizations. The bill was increased $133,000,000 over the total as it passed the house. About $327,000,000 was added during the last week because of the latest war estimates. The final redraft was sent to the printer tonight and will be presented to the senate as a Di-parti- san measure Monday and probably called for debate Wednesday. Sena- tors La Follette, Gore and Thomas plan a separate report advocating higher tax _levies. The increase of $327,000,000 over the committee’s original draft is dis- tributed approximately among the fol- lowing additional levies: On_corporate incomes, $162,000,000; additional surtaxes on individual in- comes of $15,000 and over, $27,500,000 distilled spirits, $95,000,000; beer, $12, 500,000; wines, $17,000,000; war excess profits, $5,000,000; bank checks, $2,000,- 000; floor or stock taxes on coffce, te: sugar and cocoa, $6,000,000; total, $327, 000,000. The additional levy on incomes of corporations applies also to partner- ships, joint stock companies and asso- ciations, including life insurance com- i Their normal income tax is ed to' 6 per cent, 4 per cent. more than the present law and 2 per cent. above the original house and committee program. The increased surtaxes fall entirely on individuals having incomes of $15,- 000 or above. They range from 1 per cent. on $15.000 incomes to a maximum of 33 per cent. on incomes in excess of $500,000. An additional $1 per gallon tax is imposed on distilled spirits withdrawn from bond, except those used for in- dustrial purposes, increasing the tax on distilled beverages to $3.20 per gal- lon as compared with the present rate of $1.10. The committee’s prohibitory tax on grain, molasses and other in- gredients' to whiskey to stop further manufacture also 1s retained. Beer would be taxed $3 per barrel, double the present rate. Wines would bear virtually treble their present taxes. The house levy was only $6,- 000,000 on wine: The $5,000,000 increase on war proftts was added by minor changes the schedule of such taxes providinX for a total revenue of $528,000.000. The $2,000,000 additional from bank checks would make $10,000,000 in all from that source. The committee originally plan- ned to tax only checks of $5 or more, but decided today to extend the one- cent rate to all checl The new floor or stock taxes on su- zar, tea, coffee and cocoa, at the same rates proposed in the new consumption are levied only on wholesalers and retailers having large accumulated | supplies. FINDING OF NEW YORK POLICE INVESTIGATORS Lack of Cooperation Between Uni- formed Police and Dectetive Bureau. New York, Aug. 3—Lack of cooper- ation between the uniformed police and the detective bureau of New York city was found by the grand jury which investigated charges of police negligence in the case of Ruth Cru- ger, the high school girl whose body was found in the shop of Alfredo Cof chi. In a presentment handed up to- day the grand jury stated also that “there seems to be an inadequate su- pervision of detective work on the part of the commissioner in charge thereof.” The grand jury was charged after it had returned an indictment charz- ing neglect of duty against Leiutenant Alonzo Cooper, who was acting cap- tain of the fourth branch detective bureau, which conducted the search for the Cruger girl. Lieutenant Coo- per pleaded guilty and was held for trial in $1,000 bail. Continuation of the inquiry by another grand jury was recommended. Lack of evidence in the discovery of crime by the fourth branch bureau was shown in the evidence, the grand Jury reported. OUTLOOK GOOD FOR FOOD AND BUSINESS According to Chamber of Commerce u of the United States. Washington, Aug. 3.—A stronsly op- timistic view of the outlook for food production and for business generally is taken by the chamber of commerce of the United States in a report pub- lished tonight a resuit of a com- mittee of investigation. Crops prom- ise to be abundant, says the commit- tee, while a most encouraging feature of the situation is the general confi- dence of business in the midst of war conditions. ‘Those in touch with fundamental conditions have known all along that there was never any real danger of food shortage so far as the United States is concerned,” the report de- clares, “unless because of a calamitous and unusually unfavorable season. Fortunately, however, this unfounded apprehension had the effect of stimu- lating production. The consequent answer of American agriculture, for our needs as well as those abroad, is the promise of an abundant harvest of food products beyond) previous -rec- ords, as a whole, in our experience.” $1,000,000 TO FIGHT THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

Postmasters are instructed not to ask for exemption for carriers or laborers or for clerke in first class of- fices below the $1,100 grade, or any above these grades unless they are qualified distributors of mail.

Barbarous Act of U-Boat Gaptain DROWNED 38 OF CREW OF A BRITISH STEAMSHIP IN DELIBERATE MANNER Britishers Were Odered on Deck of ‘ebelts Were Removed, Lifeboats Smashed—Then the U-boat Submerged. A British Port, Aug. 3.—Thirty- eight members of the crew of the British steamship Belgian Prince were drowned in a most deliberate manner by the German submarine which sank her, according to the account given by survivors who have reached British shores. The chief engineer of the steamer gave the following narrative of his experiences: “About 8 o'clock on Tuesday even- ing, when we were 200 miles off land, T saw the wake of an approaching tor- Indispensable to Buyer and Seller While so much is being urged in behalf of the elimination of waste, of taking advantage of all opportunities for getting money expended in making purchases and in fact looking out in every way for personal interests, it behooves each and every consider the advantages which are being presented to him daily through the advertising columns of She Bulletin.

Freeing Valuable Employes. As generally construed, the postal ruling shows the purpose of the ad- ministration to make the government department leaders in fereing valuable employes for war service. The entire mail carriers’ force, num- bering thousands of men of whom a considerable percentage are within the draft age limits, is excluded from ex- emption except for physical reasons or because of dependent families. The department’s ruling in regard to clerks leaves railway mail clerks with- in the exemption classes as they are highly specialized_distributors. Provost Marshal-General Crowder took steps today to reduce the number of exemptions because of dependent famliies. - New Ruling by Crowder. “Please call attention of local boards to the fact” says General Crowder 1 instruction to governors of all states, “that a soldier’s pay is not less than thirty dollars a month and that all clothing, subsistence, medical treat- ment and housing are furnished him Under the law he may allot any por- tion of his pay to a dependent. Many soldiers receiving thirty dollars a month are easily able to allot twenty- five dollars monthly to the support of dependents. In case of death in line of duty the government will pay to the beneficiary designated by the spldier six months’ pay. “Section four of the selective service act provides that those in a status with respect to persons dependent up- on them for support which renders their exclusion or discharge advisable may be discharged, but it does not require that they shall be discharged in all such cases. The discretion of local boards is invoked by this provi- sion and such boards may well take the facts above into consideration in deciding claims for discharge due to dependency with a view to determin- ing whether as a matter of fact, the person claiming such discharge ~ will not be in as good or better position to support his dependents after selection for military service than he was before. If such is the case, of course, the dis- charge should not be granted.” Government officials generally are beginning to take up the _individual questions that arise where government employes are called for service. Sec- retary Daniels said today that knotty problems were arising in the navy de- partment as to what individuals in the cleircal force, navy draughtsmen or skilled workers at the navy workers at the navy yards are absolutely In- dispensable. The number of exemptions asked by the various department will be re- duced to the absolute minimum, it is indicated even if some temporary de- rangement of the clerical force re- | sults. General Crowder has suggested to the governors that each assemble the full membership of all district boards in his state for a general conference to insure uniform procedure regardfg appeals. The governors were asked also to appoint an official.in eacr lo- cal district to file appeals. County at- torneys were:suggested. < ern< pedo.

Washington, Aug. 3—The war tax | and prohibition outlook brought the total of withdrawals of whiskey from 000,000 gallons, three times the nor- mail and higher than any month 23 years.
