become almost as bitter as it can be
without a revolt.
uder the original act, it is necessary
for men who leave the government
controlled factories TO get certificates
from their employers before they can
obain work elsewhere. Many employ
ers have refused TO grant such certid-
Gates to men they have dismissed. A
proposed amendment makes it obliga-
I tory for the employer to furnish certi

A second amendment extends the
application of the act It states that
munitions work, for the purpose Of the
act shall include not only all direct
work on munitions, but all subsidiary
work such as building and repair
work on munitions factories the sup
ply of light and power for the manu-
facture of munitions, and the manu-
lfacture of machinery and raw material
for munitions Thus practically all
war work for the government and all
the working peaple employed in it
come under government control. which
means the employees lose the right to
strike and even tine right to leave a
job voluntarily.

patches from Charlie Davis at Port au
Prince President D'Artiguenave, head
of the new government, Is committed
to the convention, and Is believed to
have assurances of support from SEN
ators and delegates to get favorable
action within few days.
1t has become known that plans of
the United States for putting Haiti in
order contemplate calling on the War
Department. if necessary, to furnish Of
ficers for the island police from its
corps of non-commissioned officers
who have developed and commanded
the Philippine constabulary.
American marines will remain on
the island pending setting up of the
machinery of the protectorate. Some
opposition is expected from the re-
bellious element on the north, but
lite real trouble Is looked for.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1915-09-02
WAR MINISTER ANNOUNCES THAT
He WILL MUSTER 100000
MEN FOR WAR.
FOR THE 1916 CAMPAIGN
Germans In Possession OF Brest-Litorsk
Line Continue to Drive Towards
Petroarad - Retreating
Troops Apply Torch.

London. Gen. Polivanon, Russian
minister OF war. has announced that
Russia is raising another 1000, 900
men and that the fate OF the campaign
will not be decided before some time
next year.
The Germans, in full possession OF
the entire Brest-Litovsk line, have re-
sumed the offensive In the Baltic
provinces and are pressing the Rus
slams southeast of Mitau and east Of
Kovno, in an effort to reach the main
line of railway which passes through
Wilma and Dvinsk to Petrograd.
{ 1t is expected that with the fall of
Brest-Litovsk, which has been fol-
lowed by that of Olita, south of
Kovno, Won Hindenburg, REINFORCED,
will make another attempt to cut off
the Russian retreat. 1t is believed
here, however, that it is too late to
accomplish this.
The Russians apparently had evacu-
ated both Brest-Litovsk and Olita be-
fore the Germans arrived, as the Ger
mans claim no captures OF guns and
booty.
The Austrians assert that Archduke
Joseph Ferdinand found the town of
Kamieniez-Litovsk in flames when he
arrived. There are indications, there
fore, that the Russians still are carry
ing to the rear everything movable
that might be useful to the Invaders
and burning what they are unable to
take.
The Russian armies still are intact,
