$4,000 MEN AT CAMP LEWIS
ORGANIZATION Avoids Confusion When
Many Men Arrive at Once

Tacoma, Oct. 11.-Seven trains
brought 1885 men of the new national
army to Camp Lewis in hours yes
terday. 1t was a record reception of
men at the camp. The congestion
was due to the delay of trains, but
SO perfect is the organization that there
was no confusion. The total of draft
ed men at Camp Lewis is now $4,000.
Ten Piute Indians and several Next
cans were in the contingent from Inyo
county, California.
A steady stream of men has been
flowing in from both directions and de-
spite the thousands of soldiers who
spent the night and day in the city,
there was no disorder. The provost
guard patrolling the downtown dis
trict arrested several men on the
streets without leave of absence.

GERMAN NAVAL MUTINY
GIVES RELIEF TO RUSSIANS

London, Oct. 13.-The inactivity of
the German fleet in the Baltic sea re-
Gently when there were obvious oppor-
tunities for attacking Russia, accord
ing to a dispatch to the Daily Chron-
icle from Amsterdam, was due to the
mutinous outbreak in the German navy.
The outbreak affected at least six i'm
portant units of the fleet, putting them
out of action and causing the authori-
crews of other large ships. 1t was i'm
possible, the dispatch adds, to take
stern measures on large scale against
the offenders, because that would have
increased the evil.

rage Fire All Along Line
Won CapeIle Resigns

London, Oct 13.-For the first time
since he started his series of attacks
against the German positions in Flan-
ders, Field Marshal Haig has had to
cease an operation before all the OBJ
jectives were attained. 1t was not the
German guns, however, that stopped
the British. 1t was more than us
ually heavy rainfall which started dur
ing the battle and turned the already
swampy region over which the men
were supposed to pass into veritable
quagmire from which they could not
untrack themselves for forward
move.
The drive, as has been customary in
Haig's strategy, was started in the
early hours of Friday morning and ex-
tended from near the Houtholst wood
to below the Ypres-Menin road. AT
several points the British troops sue
ceeded in gaining ground over fronts
ranging up to thousand yards, but
here the rain interviewed and the fight
ing ceased for the day. During the
forward movement over the SiX-mile
front the British captured in the ag-
gregate about 600 prisoners.
The struggle was particularly bitter
to the north of Poelcapelle and around
In the latter region the
Germans have apparently massed their
strongest, array of troops, hopeful of
being able to stay further press for
ward by the British toward the Os-
tend-Lille railroad.

TO FORCE SENDING
 OF JAPANESE SHIPS
Drastic Steps Threatened to AL leviate Shortage on the At lantic--NOrway and Holland to Release Large Tonnage.

Washington, Aug 2.-Imperative need of ships in transatlantic service is shown by indications that the Ship ping Board is preparing to comman- deer all American tonnage, and in an order by President Wilson which will cut off steel exports to Japan unless Japanese vessels are diverted to war uses.
 The Shipping Board probably will announce communicating program soon. It will call for requisitioning of ships and directing of routes, but probably will include arrangements for turning the vessels back to their owners who will operate them.
 Norway and Holland are ready to release a large amount of tonnage for allied use in return for food ship ments.
 The British and American govern ments have about agreed on a joint control of world tonnage, the United States to operate most of the neutral tonnage and Great Britain to control allied ships. The arrangement will be used also to lower freight rates.
 The presidents instructions regard ing bringing Japanese ships into the Atlantic were issued to the Division of Export Licenses, and provide that no steel or iron products shall go to allied countries unless they are to be used for war purposes, or will con- tribute directly to prosecution of the war. Japan has been large buyer of American ship plates and has been building up a great merchant fleet. About four per cent of her tonnage is in the Atlantic and the remainder , is carrying Pacific cargoes at eX- tremely high rates.
 The Shipping Board has just put in to operation its control over coast wise freight rates and can order specific rates cut if found discrimina- tory.

COUNTER OF
 TEUTON> FAIL
Vainly Try to Regain Ground Northeast of Ypres-kaiser Calls Council of Leaders to Consider Allies New Drive.

New York, Aug. 2.-While the rain and the morass have served to hold the entente allied forces back, pre- venting a resumption of the great of fensive of Tuesday, they have not kept the Germans from throwing counterattacks with large forces of men against several newly won sec tors of the front held by the British and French troops, nor in bringing about a cessation of the violent artil- lery duels along the entire line.
 Crown Prince Rupprecht evidently considers the British gain northeast of Ypres the most important made in Tuesdays battle, for upon this terri tory he has concentrated the strong est of his counter-o offensive operations in an attempt to regain the lost ground. His efforts, however, have failed. The British artillery and in- fantry fire raked the advancing Ger mans mercilessly, ending the attacks and increasing greatly the already heavy losses of the Germans.
 There is no indication in either the British or French official communi- cations as to when their combined push again will be started, but it is possible that at least a day of warm sunshine will be necessary to dry up the mud so that the big allied guns may be realigned and to permit the airmen to relocatet the positions the enemy is holding.
 Although the Teutonic allies are still advancing against the Russians in east Galicia, Bukowina and along the Moldavia frontier, the allied of fensive on the western front appar- ently has gotten on the nerves of the German emperor, whose troops. after suffering great losses of men and ground, now have to face gigantic at tacks by the British and French, cov- cred by countless pieces of modern artillery of all cahbres and ranges.
 It is assumed that war council of the high military and naval leaders in Germany, called by Emperor Will liam to meet in Brussels, had as its object an analytical survey of the new attack, which, if it is carried out as planned, would prove a menace to the German line in Belgium, and es- pecially along the coast.
 Wednesday was the date set for the conference, to have been attended by Field Marshal von Hindenburg, Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, in command in Flanders; the German crown prince and others, including Vice Admiral von Capelle, minister of the navy, whose naval bases on the North sea would be affected by a success to the allied arms.
