WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-At the di- rect suggestion of President Wilson, Provost Marshal General Crowder tel egraphed to all governors tonight a supplemental explanation of regula tions governing the status of married men under the selective service law No change in regulations is made and the purpose of the new statement is to clear up misunderstanding which have arisen in what General Crowder describes as "a few instances
 In a letter to Secretary Baker quoted by General Crowder President Wilson states his opinion that the reg ulation directing local boards ito es- tablish the fact of dependents in addi- tion to the fact of marriage ought not to be abrogated" This leaves the reg ulations as they are and the supple, mentary statement is designed merely to make the application of the rules uniform among all boards.
 While the statement regarding mar ried men was in preparation. new or ders were issued changing entirely tho mobilization arrangements previously made. Congestion of rail traffic an6
 the necessity of making better pro vision for the reception of the men a
 the cantonment dictated the changes
 Under the new orders five per cent O the white men, preferably those witt military experience, from each loca
 area will be started forward to thu camps September instead of 30 pc cent. They will go in five daily de tachments of equal size, form skeleton company organizations and set up going concern into which the remain der of the total quota can be absorbed without confusion as it reaches tn cantonments.
 The next forty per cent of the quot will go forward September 19, whel | the second 30 per cent originally Wa scheduled to go; a second forty pc cent will go forward October 3 instea of third 30 per cent and the remainin | fifteen per cent will be called up a soon thereafter as practicable.

COPENHAGEN, August 25.-The submarine controversy again has been raised in the reichstag main committee in the governments effort to convince the members that che unrestricted U- boat campaign is great success. Press dispatches, both for foreign and home consumption, have been printed giving in great detail the arguments and statements from Dr. Karl Helf- ferich, secretary of the interior and vice chancellor, and Vice Admiral Eduard von Capelle, secretary of the imperial admiralty. These dispatches however, carefully refrained from men, tioning the skeptical attitude of Mat thias Erzberger, clerical member o1 the reichstag; Philipp Scheidemann socialist member, and Conrad Hauss man, Bavarian radical
 Herr Scheidemann took issue witt Dr. Helfferich questioned his account

of the workings of the unrestricted campaign and warned the government that it must not deceive itself regard ing the effect of the sinkings on Eng land Herr Scheidemann said that nothing had been brought forward to change his party's attitude on the submarine question.
 Herr Erzberger said that Admiral von Capeles figures were based on an antiquated assumption, that in no wise were they convincing, and that he was still skeptical in regard to these cal culations
 Herr Haussman declared that the situation had, in certain quarters been pictured exaggeratedly as good, and that expectations had been raised all too powerfully.
 | Vice Chancellor Helfferich and Sec retary von Cappelle spoke repeatedly in rebuttal to their critics arguments but apparently without success.

WHEAT PIT CLOSES
 DURING VAR AT THE
 REQUEST 0F HOOVER
[Republican A. p. Leased wirel

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-The wheat pit of the Chicago board of trade. closed today. The action of the directors in closing the pit was due to a request of Herbert c. Hoover, food admin istrator, that trading in wheat futures cease at least for the period of the war
 The closing of the pit was without particular incident. A few of the traders stood about the big saucer-like place where fortunes have been made ard lost in the exciting days of cor ners." Most of the traders expressed little regret at the passing of the pit and number were of the opinion that it would be well if trading in fu- lures should never be resumed. Few big men of the wheat market were present.
 Liquidation has been going forward on a large scale since the decision of the government to control wheat, so when the close came today it was said all deals had been settled, and the traders turned to other grains.

encounters which the technique of moderate war had discarded as obso- lete until a year ago. These barrages have a double purpose, acting as a shield of protection and also conceal ing the attacking waves until the storming troops are right up to the enemy's dugouts and trench shelters.
 There now is a feeling, however, that these tactics in an attack may not all ways endure and that rifle lire agaln will come into its own. Even the Ger mans are adopting this modification of tactics according to prisoners who say that their more recent training calls for much time at rifle practice and each soldier must remain before the target until he makes a satisfac- tory score. Both rifle practice and machine gun work appeal to the American soldiers.

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN FRANCE, Friday, Aug. 24.-tBy the Associated Press). - Convinced that craftsmanship with the rifle is not al together a lost art, even if 1t has been somewhat neglected in these latter days of war, the commanders of the American forces now preparing Tn France for the battle front are g1vlng the men a thorough course Of instruc- ton in the school of rifle fire. It al- ways has been a tradition among European armies that the United States had the finest shooting army in the world. no matter what mlght be it's shortcomings in other respects This tradition the new American army hopes to fulfill, and there is general belief among the officers of the ex- peditionary force that the time again will come when rifle fire may be or the utmost importance.
 The old regular British army, which virtually was annihilated in the first six months of the war, also was fine shooting army and it's ability with the rifle cost the Germans dearly on many occasions.
 Ever since the battle of the Somme, more than a year ago, there has been a tendency among the armies to re- garding the rifle merely as staff tor the bayonet or as fire arm simply for sniping Advancing infantrymen have been taught to rely first of all on the protection of an artillery barrage, which moves fifty yards or so in front of them and is supposed to be of suf- ficient intensity to keep any machine gunners well below ground until the assaulting waves are right upon them.
 Once in or near the enemy positions, infantrymen have used bombs and bayonets alone with seldom a rifle shot heard. In other words, artillery bar rages laid by guns far in the rear, have had the effect of bringing infan- try fighting to quick hand to hand

 Army officers were puzzled over the explosion, but agreed that it was caused by an abandoned shrapnel shell on the range, which had not been used since early in 1916. On this site mess had been erected.
 The heat of the stove over which the soldiers were cooking brought on the explosion, which demolished the building and blew the stove high in the air
 With the exception of Oakley, whose leg will have to be amputated. none of the wounded was seriously injured.

 ROME, Aug. 25.-The Italian troops on the Isonzo front are marching to complete victory.
 At Udine, Salvatore Barzilai, civil governor of the Austrian territory oc- cupied by the Italian army. when in- formed of the complete victory of the Italians, exclaimed:
 At last our soldiers have achieved this magnificent thing; they have freed our soil from the ancient enemy" The final success of the Italians in winning their greatest battle in this war is thrilling the country as never before. Both the army and the civil ians now see the result of two years suffering and economic hardship. The victory came unexpectedly, notwith- standing the encouraging bulletins of the last fortnight. It is General Ca dorna's rule never to announce an event until certain that his troops are able to hold new positions.

|S NOT TRYING TO INFLUENCE FIXING
 OF WHEAT PRICES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The food administration today denied re- ports that Herbert C. Hoover is at tempting to influence the price fixing committee headed by Dr. H. A. Gar field, to put a price of s1.65 on the 1917 crop of wheat, and gave out copies of telegram sent by MT. Hoover to a North Dakota newspaper, which de- clared the food administrator was of fering no suggestion as to price.
 MT. Hoover's telegram was in reply to one from Representative Young of North Dakota, which concluded:
 Anything we get above s1.65 a bushel will be on account of clenched fists shaken in the faces of Garfield and Hoover"
 MT. Hoover's message declared the farming interests have majority rep resentation on the price-fixing com mittee and that its membership is made up of men in whom the whole country has confidence.
 My duty is simply to see" said MT, Hoover, that the farmer obtains his bread without speculative profits in between the farmer and the consumer, which were maintained over the first half of this year. l assume that the armer no more wants to bleed the con- sumner by obtaining more than a fair price than he wants to be bled by the producers of food and other commod ties who also are being asked to main tain their prices"
 The Garfield committee, it is under stood, will be ready to recommend a price by the middle of next week. Rumor puts this price at slightly more than s2
 Wheat prices were discussed today in the senate. Senator Gronna de- clared that government control would have a ruinous effect on production and instead of stimulating would re- strict it.

BATTLE ON H0NZ0 FRONT DEVELOPS INTO FURTHER
 SUCCESS FOR ITALIANS
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

The battle along the Isonzo has de- veloped further brilliant successes for the Italians who, it is now plain, are making one of their greatest efforts of the war. General Cadorna's men, who at the beginning of the offensive effected a new crossing of the river north of GOrizia at point where the Austrians believed such a feat was inn possible, have won another spectacular victory by scaling Monte Santo, 2,245 feet high, and placing their flag there. This mountain top, seven miles north of Gorizia, dominates the plain to the east of the city. The Austrian line of defense was broken at several points and the Italians are pursuing the re- tiring Austrians.
 Further south, on the Carso, fight ing continues violently and necessarily. Austrian efforts to win back lost po- sitions were defeated
 New gains have been made by the French on the Verdun front rounding out the victory in the offensive begun on Monday. The French advanced last night north of Hill BOA, Paris an- nounces, and captured three fortified works near Bethincourt. The official German statement, however, says French attacks between Melancourt and Bethincourt were repulsed.
 On the British front sharp local en- agreements are in progress. The Brit ish captured a trench position west of Lens and a post near LombaertZyde The official German statement con- cedes small British attack near the Ypres -Menin road, but says that at other pSnts the British wore repulsed with heavy losses. The capture of a British position east of St. Julien is reported
 The situation on the northern end of the Russian front remains obscure. Official Russian reports earlier in the week made it appear that German offensive with the capture of Riga pre- sumably as its object, was under way. 1 The German statement of Saturday spoke of no further activity in this sec tor. Neither did the official report | from Petrograd mention any military operations on the Riga front. On the Central Russian front a German bat talion penetrated the Russian lines northwest of Pinsk. but later the leu tons were elected. On the Rumanian front the battles which ragged during l the week have died down.
 1 In the Caucasus the Austrians are showing greater activity at several points.
