LONDON, Aug. 2S.-A gale. accom-
panied by heavy rain, held up military
operations on the entire Western front
to-day. Official reports, however, bring
additional details of the heavy fighting
in the midst of yesterday afternoons
downpour in the Ypres salient. The
British, before night was through, won
a perceptible advance along 1000
yard front astride the swamp-bordered
road from st. Julian to Poelcapelle.
They also further shattered the
enemy's third system of defence.
Berlin admits the British progress,
but dismisses it as an insignificant
indentation."
Almost simultaneously the Germans
attacked along the Ypres-Menin road to
the east. in an effort to drive Haig's
men from the Inverness copse, out the
double assault was broken.
The German communque to-day de-
scribes Haig's thrust as a powerful eff
fort in two phases. numerous tanks and
low-Ayirg aeroplanes supporting the
infantry. which advanced after intense
drum-fre. only to be driven back, de
spite strong reserves flung into the
fight. General Ludendorff then reveals
a second attack in tho evening, after
oven more violent artillery pre-
marathon. which resulted in a san

of the Wurtemberg troops, who vic

The British War Office also mentions
the good work OF the Royal Flying
Corps, which attacked all branches of
the enemy service from only few
feet above the ground and lost no
machines. 80,
Around Verdun only the artillery
has been active through the day, though
Berlin mentions fruitless French at
taeks north of Hill 344 last night, re

French reports speak of two small Ger

Vaux and lie Pslameux, evidently to
create a diversion. Berlin still clings
TO the statement that the village OF

Coast Socialist Tells
Why He Favors War

Frank f. Wolfe, a well known Social
list Of the Pacific Coast, telegraphed
yesterday 70 the American Alliance for
Labor and Democracy in this city Civ
ing his reasons for abandoning the So
calst opposition TO the war. He also
indorses the coming Minneapolis labor
loyalty conference.
Mr.. Wolfe is prominent in Socialist
ranks for his writings as associate ed
ing Socialist magazine in the West, and
for his legislative efforts at Sacrs-
mento. the state capital, where he was
probably the biggest factor in winning
California for woman suffrage. Wolfe
has long been co-worker with Job
Hartman, founder of the Socialist col
ony at Llano del Rio, Cal.
"There must be a general awakening
among the workers OF America" Mr..
Wolfe wires, land | know of no better
way to start cohesive movement than
the proposed labor loyalty conference
az Minneapolis.
Especially must the workers of the
Rocky Mountain and Western districts
be brought to the realization that the
only hope Of permanent peace and the
ending of all wars lies through pushing
the present war 10 a quick, decisive
finish, finish that will mean the crush
ing of Prussan militarism, which is
dominating and forcing all nations.
1.-THE workers of America can 90
most to further their cause at this
hour by pledging unwavering loyalty TO
the government under the plan Of
pushing the war TO n quick ending.
This is labor's greatest opportunity
Then in the hour of readjustment that
inevitably follows labor will take its
place in the highest councils"

Missouri Democrats
Aim Blow at Senators
Convention May Be Called to
Ask Reed and Stone to
Resign

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. Aug. Is
Pressure will presently be brought TO
bear on the Democratic State Commit
tee TO call mass convention 70 ask
Senator'S Stone and Reed and perhaps
two or three members of The House
from Missouri TO resign because OF
their hostile attitude toward President
Wilson and his war policies.
This feeling, it is said. has been
growing rapidly of late. Most OF the
old party leaders no longer seek to
excuse Stone and Reed. and condemn
the two Senator'S openly.
A convention could do no more than
ask the resignation Of these members
Of Congress, but it is pointed out that
public condemnation OF their course
would set the state right at Washing
ton.
Some OF the Democratic leaders fear
that II their party does not act non,
partisan mass convention may be called
for this purpose, and the Democratic
party would then be put in the position
Of defending Stone and Reed.
