FRENCH REFUSE
 GERMAN ATTACK
Beat Back Grown Princes Men
 With Heavy Loss.

Only one major attack, launched by the Germans in the Champagne sector and broken up by the French artillery, marked the days fighting activity in the west
 The thrust was delivered by the crown prince in an effort to re-estab- fish the salient in the French lines which was crushed in by Petain's troops. The enemy were. beaten off with heavy losses, Paris announced.
 Apart from this action there were only minor raids.
 Great artillery activity on both sides in the neighborhood of Craonne is re- ported. Only artillery action is report cd from Belgium. .
 German seaplanes have again raided the great Russian base on the gulf of Riga, dropping forty-one bombs on warships, airplane sheds and shore de lenses.
 The constant repetition of these raids, it is thought by military experts is evidence that great sea battle is impending.

 der War Department Plans - Presi-
 dents Conscription Proclamation Ex-
 pected Within Very Short Time.
 Americas plans for participating i'll the war are being unfolded rapidly. Some of them are:
 There will be a second draft within a few months after the time the first 625, 1000 conscripts are in the training camps
 Pershing's first division will be re-en- forced immediately by another large force of picked troops, and by Septem- Der the first division of national guards men will be moving overseas.
 The New York national guard will be the first division of militiamen to go to Europe. They will be followed by the men from Illinois,
 Indications are that the second draft. now definitely decided upon by the army authorities, will be made not later than November, five months hence It will call probably for an- other 625,0O0 men, possibly more. as the general staff is now planning to fill all vacancies caused by losses and casualties through the draft. It may be that 100000 additional men will be called to the colors, making 1,625,000 before Christmas.
 These men will be secured from those not selected on the first draft. If necessary a number exempted from the first draft will be called. Army officials are concentrating on securing sufficient transport facilities to move the great force overseas. By spring. according to indications, the United States will be represented on the European battlefields by not less than 500,O00 men, and by summer the number probably will be in the neigh borhood of 100000.
 The war department has selected the New York and Illinois guardsmen as the first troops of that branch to go to Europe for several reasons. First, each state has a complete division and the men can be moved as a unit: sec ondly, the work of the New York and Illinois guardsmen on the border has satisfied the department they have suf- ficient groundwork for early appear ance at the front. Also they can be better spared than regulars, who will be needed in this country for training the draft army.
 President Wilson is expected within the next few days to issue a pgoclama- tion- setting a date for the draft and establishing the exemption machinery. He has all the data compiled by army experts now before him.
 Work is being rushed on the canton ments that they may be ready for the first increments on Sept. l. Intensive training will fit the men to go to Eu- rope within six months, it is estimated, the finishing touches on their prepara- tion to be secured behind the front in France

An American war vessel is now the flagship of the combined naval forces of the United States and Great Britain in Irish waters. the chief scene of Ger man U-boat activity.
 It was officially announced that Vice Admiral Sims, L. $. N., has been ap- pointed to take complete' charge of Op- erations in these waters pending the absence of the British commander in chief. Immediately upon the appoint ment the flag of the American con- mander was hoisted as that of the senior officer in charge.
 Sims Now Vice Admiral. - It was for a contingency such as has now arisen that w. s. Sims was rc- gently promoted from the rank of rc2c admiral to that of vice admiral
 Vice Admiral Sims went to London immediately after the entrance of the United States into the war as chief of a naval mission to coordinate future naval operations between the entente navies and the sea forces of the United States He attended the allied naval conference in Paris last month.
 Up to the time he went abroad he was president of the Naval War college at Newport. He has devoted much of his time to a study of naval engage ments in the European war. He has seen much active sea duty and is cred ited with having as inspector of target ! practice brought American naval gun nery to it's present high plane of effl- ciency.
 Reprimanded by Taft. There is an element of history's irony in the fact that Vice Admiral Sims acts-temporarily at ieast-as com guarding Great Britain against the sub- marine menace.
 In December, 1910, while in London | he made a remark in a speech at a Guildhall banquet which brought him a formal reprimand by order of the l then president, William H. Taft. eff ever the time comes," said Vice 1 Admiral Sims. "when the British em- pire is menaced by an external foe she can count on every man, every dollar, every ship and every drop of blood of her kindred across the sea-
 His views about the U-boat cam- | paign and the chances Of combating it were given before the naval committee | of the house last winter. He summed | them up thus:
 Submarines are no good at all ill the face of an enemy who commands the surface of the water"

UNALGA CAPTAIN GOES
 AFTER DELINQUENTS

The Coast Guard Cutter Unalga, Cap tain Dodge, arrived this morning from Valdez en route to western Alaska canneries to enroll all the men of mil itary age.
 We don't expect to miss anyone" said Captain Dodge, and if the re ported pro-German element out there shows any inclination to refuse, the jail is large enough to accommodate them"
 The captain was referring to reports brought in on the Santa Ana that a large number of Germans are working in canneries to the westward who are outspoken in their opinions against the United States and favorable to Ger. many. These reports were made by men of standing, who state that near ly all of the machinists in the western canneries are Teutons and that they seem to control the situation to con- siderable extent.-Seward Gateway.

part OF the corn belt, especially in
those sections where there is a great
deal or late corn and the grain is soft.
farmers have ceased harvesting. and
are taking a chance of the grain be-
coming fully cured by remaining on
the stalk in the field.
The soft corn that is being brought
here is going into the hands of those
with drying plants and Is being put In
order for use. The government has
placed large orders for alcohol and

rapidly as the corn is available.
