SENATOR LEWIS SEES
 INVITATION FOR PEACE
IRenuhIican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, July 23-Senator Lewis declared in the senate today that in his opinion the recent speech of Dr. Michaelis, the new chancellor of Ger many was a direct invitation to the United States to use it's influence for peace He said he believed the central powers would be willing to accept peace without victory.
 T interpret it to mean that the mere asking for peace by the allies will be the occasion for Germany agreeing to discussing terms" said he.
 Senator Lewis said he believed that the speech was peculiarly directed to the United States and added his opin- ion that it was not written by the chancellor"
 Tt is my conviction" the Illinois senator said. that already influences have been aroused in Germany which will cause great democratic reforms.
 In a spirited reply. Senator King of Utah declared it folly to discuss peace and contended Dr. Michaelis' speech was not susceptible to Senator Lewis construction.
 Tt seems to me- said Senator King, that the senator in a desire to seek peace has injected an understanding of the speech never intended by the Ger man chancellor"
 The Illinois senator in brief reply said
 Surely the senator does not mean that he is in favor of continuing the war if Germany is willing to make peace on our terms or those of the al lies"

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Steps to settle the shipping board row will be taken by President Wilson, it was said today at the White House, within the next "A hours.
 There was no intimation as to the presidents move. but officials in close touch with the situation believe that Chairman Denman and Major General Goethals, manager of the boards fleet corporation, will be told that they must compose their differences and start i'm mediately upon the governments snip building program.
 In support of this belief. there were indications today that the shipping board and General Goethals are work ing on a more harmonious basis than they have been at any time since first disagreeing over the question of wood en ships.
 President Wilson, it is believed. is of the opinion that more would be lost than gained by letting either MT. Den man or General Goethals go Many of ficials think he will make definite di- vision of authority and end a situation in which each holds himself responsl- ble for the building program. The white house denial of reports that General Goethals offered to resign is taken to mean that the president still believes the program can be completed best un- der the present arrangements by def mite division of authority. Reports that Captain J. B. White and John A. Don aid, members of the shipping board had resigned. renewed rumors of differences in the board it ., Captain White, it

KERENSKy <. ''iiiii Ai; HELM
 IN RUSSIA
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire]

Alexander F. Kerensky, the man of the hour in RuSsia-the man who early in July started the brilliant offensive against the Germans and Austro- Hun garians in Galicia, which gave the Rus sians notable gains-has been made virtual dictator in Russia and given the tremendous task of putting down the disaffection of the troops which has resulted in a retreat along the front in Galicia, and otherwise to end the anomalous situation that prevails in Russia.
 By an almost unanimous vote the council of workmen's and soldiers delegates and the peasants congress, realizing that a man of ability of the highest order was required at the pres ent juncture to strengthen the morale of the Russian troops, has given "un- limited powers" to NJ. Kerensky and his government and he already is on his way to Galicia, where he soon may be expected to use all the force at his command against the recalcitrant troops and again bring them face to face with the foe.
 The situation in both east Galicia and to the north of Pripet marshes, for the moment is proving disconcert- ing to the Russian government. Added to the struggle it is having with the deserters in Galicia, who are falling back nearly everywhere comes the news that lack of stability among the men fighting against the Germans in the region of Smorgon and Krevo, southeast of Wilma, is giving the Rus sian government and military command great cause for concern.

Appeal for Loyalty

PETROGRAD, (Via London) July 23. -(British Admiralty Per Wireless Press)-The executive councils of the all Russian workmens and soldiers and peasants organizations have issued the following proclamation:
 Fellow soldiers: One of our armies has wavered; it's regiments have fled before the enemy. Part of our front has been broken. Emperor William S hordes, which have moved forward, are bringing with them death and de- struction.
 Who is responsible for this humlia- tion? The responsibility rests with those who have spread discord in the army and shaken it's discipline; with those who at a time of danger dis. obeyed the military commands anG wasted time in fruitless discussions and disputes
 Many of those who left the line ana sought safety in running away paid with their hves for having uIsobeyeu orders. The enemy's fire moved them down. If this costly lesson has taught you nothing then there will be no sal vation for Russia.
 Enough of words. The time has come to act without hesitation VIC hdNe dChHOWleuSeu the provisional gov ernment. With the government lies the salvation of the revolution. We have acknowledged it's unlimited au- thority and it's unlimited power. Its commands must be law. All those who disobeyed the commands of the pro- vlslonal government in battle will be regarded as traitors. Towards traitors and towards no mercy will be shown "Fellow soldiers: you want a dur able peace. You want your land, your freedom. Then you must know that l only by stubborn struggle will you win peace for Russia and all nations Yielding before the troops of the Ger ! man emperor you lose both your land and your freedom. The conquering imperialistic Germans will force vol | again and again to fight for your in. tereSts.

 The plan has not yet assumed def mite form said a statement issued at the treasury late today, but when it has been worked out in all it's funda- mentals and details, Secretary McAdoo will present it to the president for his approval and if approved the recom- mendation will be submitted to con- gress at an early date for it's consid- eration."
 The proposal is based on the funda- mental principle that the government as matter of sound humanity should provide for the financial protection of it's fighting men on land and sea, and indemnify them against death, total or partial disability.

SIXTY PER CENT 0F LIBERTY LOAN |S
 ALREADY PAID IN
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, July 23.-More than 60 per cent of the $2000 100000 Liberty Loan already has been paid into the treasury Today's treasury statement the first issued in 24 days, shows pay ments June 30 on the Liberty Loan ac- count of $1,3S5, ,024,456.
 Only twenty per cent of the lOan or S400, 900 900 was due June 30, the TWO payments of two and eighteen per cent. respectively, being due June Is and June 2S. The amount thus voluntarily paid into the treasury by subscribers ahead of time totalled but $15.000,0 900 under a round billion dollars.
 NotwithstfA ding the enormous with drawas to meet payments of the loan more than three times the sum due the redesposing of the funds among banking institutions prevented even a ripple of disturbance in the money market
 The heavy payments on Liberty Loan account ran up the governments bal ance of cash on hand June 30 to the record figure of S1,064,0S6,25O. This was after the treasury department had redeemed certificates of indebtedness amounting to s626.000,000.
 Because of the immense amount of
  payments and checking reserve bank reports, the treasury statement for June 30 was delayed record time this year. Usually it comes out two or three days after the fiscal year ends Even today's late figures, a footnote states, are subject to revision.
 In other respects than those affect , ing the loan. the statement of the gov ernments financial activities for the year are. Total receipts from all sources touched the new high level ot i $3.475 159,935 of which approxmately !

MASTER LIST OF DRAFT DRAWING
 IN MAIL TODAY
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, July 23-The mas ter list of the drawing last Friday which fixed military liability under the draft will not be ready for distribution to the local exemption boards until to- morrow. It had been hoped to mail it tonight to governors of states for dis tribution but a delay resulted from mechanical difficulties in printing
 Pending publication of this official result of the drawng, no authentic in formation is available to check the un- official report transmitted to the news papers during the drawing. It is prob able a copy of the official list will be given out tomorrow.
 The governors will be furnished with two copies for each local board in their states. They will be asked to mail each copy separately to local officials so as to insure delivery. Immediately on re- ceipt of their lists, each local board will cancel the numbers higher than the top red ink number in its district and then from the remaining numbers enough men to make up double the districts quota will be notified to appear for physical examination.
 Provost Marshal General Crowder ruled today that posting at the board headquarters of the list of men ordered 
 tion. It therefore is incumbent upon all registered men to learn their red ink numbers at once and to see that the board headquarters is watched when the list is posted. Those ordered up also will be notified by mail, but the period allowed for appearance will count from the posting of the list.
 The ruling was in connection with an crder issued by fhe war department holding the ranks of the regular army open to registered men for voluntary enlistment up to the time such men have been posted as ordered to appear. The navy department has been noti- lied that the army makes no claim upon any registered men until that time. so that registration is no bar to enlistment in the army, navy or na- tional guard.
 In apportioning draft quotas credit was given for all voluntary enlistments prior to June 30, but there has been
 no indication whether credits will be given for men coming in since that date. An average Of more than 1000 men q day has been reported by the regular recruiting stations alone, and counting the national guard, it is prob able that the voluntary system has (Continued on Page Twol

WEDGE |S DRIVEN
 BY RUSSIANS INTO
 THE GERMANL LINES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

In a free attack between Smorgon and Krevo. the Russians drove wedge into the German line to a depth of two miles at various places and took more than 1000 prisoners. The Petrograd war office announces, however, that the
 lack of morale of certain attachments of the Russians is placing the success in jeopardy while the latest Berlin of
 ficial communication which admits
 that gains were made, asserts that all
 ready most of the captured positions
 have been retaken.
 Taking advantage of the chaos that
 reigns the Germans and Austro- Hun
 garians are keeping up their intensive
 push against the Russians all a long the
 front in Galicia. The Germans are di-
 rectly before Tarnopol and also are ad
 vancing on both sides of the Dnieste river and between the Stripa and Zlota Lipa, where they have occupied addi-
 tional villages.
 The Germans apparently have ceased, for the time being at least, their fierce infantry onslaughts against the French along the Chemin deS Danes in France which have cost them dearly in men killed, wounded or taken prisoner when compared with the eX- tremely small amount of ground they gained. The French official commun ication announces that the Germans continued their violent bombardments of the French positions near Hurtebise and Craonne on Monday. Near Cerny i the French themselves took The 1nr' . ative in a small operation and gained | ground and captured men or tne diliy l of the German crown prince.
 The Canadians have taken another l hack at the German line protecting the 1 coal fields south of Lens and again 1 have appreciably advanced their line. l Although the British communication l does not give the extent of the success, l merely announcing that the troops reached their objective with slight l losses The Associated Press core | spondent with the British forces says | the Canadians forced their way to the l second line of German defenses along
 front of goo yards and bombed and | destroyed positions and took prisoners l On the other fronts there has been | little activity, although further sue l cesses have been gained by the British | against Germans in East Africa and | the Turks in Palestine.
