Berlin Admits Loss.
The British are holding tight to the
new positions taken from the Ger
mans on Thursday. Berlin officially
admits that the British effort was sue,
cessful and that the Germans were
forced to evacuate some of their de-
lenses in the vital Ypres salient, but
it attempts to minimize the import
ance of the advance. The British
losses in the assault are reported to
have been light.
Crown Prince Loses.
On the southern end of the western
front the German crown prince has
suffered severe losses in an unsuccess-
full attack on Mont Haute in Cham
payne. Other attacks by the Ger
mans on the Aisne Front and near
verdun were repealed by the French.
There has been no marked fighting
activity on the eastern front.

General Alexieff, chief of staff to
Premier Kerensky, commander in
chief of the Russian armies, has re-
signed. Differences between the two
men over matters appertaining TO the
Korniloff revolt are given as the rea-
son.
Opponents Resting.
The Austrians and Italians appar-
emily are resting on the Carso front.
In the Trentino, however, the two
armies have been more active. In an
attack at Gina Sief in the Dolmito
Alps, the Italians gained the enemy
defenses. The impossible of securing
shelter, however, forced the Italians
to retire.
Argentine Postpones Action.
The Argentine chamber OF deputies
has postponed until Saturday action
in the matter of the republics rela-
lions with Germany. The foreign min
lister has received new information
which will probably compel Argentina
to take grave and rapid measures, in
Guiding the possibility of declaration
of war against Germany.

TWO SONS OF SHhTTUCK
NOW LISTED AS
j. S. SLACKERS

1t now appears that there are two
sons of L. c. Shattuck listed as de-
serters instead of one. Yesterday The
Review was given information that
Henry Shattuck who was registered
in Yuma county, had been called to-
report on last Wednesday and had
failed to show up as did his brother,
Worner, in this city. In order to veri~
fly this report two separate kilograms
were sent to Yuma to learn the truth
of the matter. One of the messages
was sent to Dr. r. r. Knots, the
county physician, a member of the ex-
aiming board, and the other was sent
to Sheriff Mel Greenleaf. The one
sent to the doctor was sent by a per
sonal friend of his in this city and
the reply was, Henry Shattuck was
absent at roll call, his whereabouts
not known" The other was sent by
The Review to the sheriff and the re-
ply was that he was called but did
not report"
The information that came to The
Review was from young man who
was acquainted with the boys ano
who recently returned from a trip to
California. He stopped over in Yuma
one day last week between trains
and while there made inquiries about
Henry. He was informed that Henry
was at the ranch and he endeavored
to reach him by phone. Henry had
left the ranch with his brother War
ner, and was on the way to Yuma, re-
piled a man at the ranch to the Bis
bee mans inquiry. The Bisbee youth
had but a short time TO wait before
his train left and did not get to see
the boys.
1t is now evident that both the
boys were at Yuma few days before
they were TO report and left there to-
gether to avoid the draft. 1t has al
so been discovered that Warner Shat
tuck did not leave the city as was re-
ported the latter part of last month
at the Shattuck mine after the first
of the present month.
Numerous reports have been cicu-
lated that Warner had been captured
near Nogales and other parts of So
nora, but the officials here have not
had an official report on the capture.

CHINA SOUNDS JAJAN.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

TOXIC, Sunday, Sept. 6.-(DelayedD
The Chinese government has sounded
Japan on the proposal to send 100000
Chinese troops to Europe and indica-
tons are that Japan will offer no OPP
position TO such action on the part Of
China.
Commenting on Japan's participa-
ion in the war the semi -official Times
declares that as Japan Is not directly
menaced by Germany no sufficient
reason exists to send troops and that
the allies should be satisfied with
Japan's naval and other assistance.

these prime disputes are being con-
sidered with the senate conferees in
sisting upon giving consideration to
intangible assets in calculating invest

two questions, the conferees believe
the bill will be rapidly concluded al
lowing an exemption on s per cent

the total tax levy on excess profits al
so is forecast.
Drastic Increase Urged.
A drastic increase on such profits
was urged upon house conferees by
members of the ways and means CO.

senate insistence upon considering in

BILE.
Professed Ignorance
Two weeks later, when Won Bern
storff was handed his passports, he
professed ignorance of prior knowl-
edge of his governments intention to
throw its promises to the winds.
Directed Vaccinations
Evidence had been accommodating 70
prove that the ambassador was not
only cognizant of, but actually direct
ed, the activities of Boyd and Won
Papen, military and naval attaches,
sent home long before the United
States broke relations with Germany,
because of their connection with bomb
plots, passport frauds, spying md 9TH
er phases of the almost unlimited OPP
erations in this country of the Ger
man secret service. How complete is
the evidence of German diplomatic du-
plicity remaining in possession of the
United States government is only con-
jectural, but that it is far more than
has been generally supposed is now
certain. 1t was intimated by govern
ment officials today that the series of
revelations is not nearly complete.
From the outside there are reaching
the state department echoes of the
apprehension sounded by friends of
men towards whom suspicion long has
pointed.
More Coming
Official reputation was given sug-
gestion that a Swedish diplomat Is
about to be placed under the spot
light The co-ordinated intelligence
forces of the government are known
to be continuing their investigations.
however, and it is pointed out that
the government has not lost sight OF
the necessity of watching for German
intrigue and espionage.
Representative and Peace
1t was suggested at the state de-
partment that the odd mixing of Count
Won Bernstorff's talk about peace ana
his secret activities while in Wash
ington appeared significant, in view
of the peace propaganda recently
emanating from Germany.
There may be some discussion or
the incident in the senate tomorrow
when it reconvenes after a week viz
tualy in recess.
Applause for Heflin
Applause from the floor and tahe
galleries greeted Representative Her
Inns demand that the house take a
congressional investigation of the Won
Bernstorff's message to determine if
any members of either house had re-
ceived German money.
81 do not know to whom the count
refers he said, but l do know that
the contents of his message constit-
tutes a serious reflection upon con-
gress and should be investigated. II

has acted suspiciously in or out of
congress, he ought to be investigated
and expelled if the facts warrant II

support to the commander-in-chier In
this time of war, he should be put out
of the capitol"
Mr.. Hefiin concluded by saying that,
speaking for the house as a body, he
repudiated the intimation conveyed by
the message that congress was sus-
ceptible to corruption.

Same Object Had.

Happy in the though that our de-
sires from the first were directed to-
ward the same object your Holiness
today characterizes as one we
strive for, We have taken close con-
sideration the concrete and practical
suggestions of your Holiness and have
come to the following conditions:
International Justice.
with deep-rooted conviction We
agree to the leading idea OF your
Holiness that the future arrangement
of the world must be based on the
elimination of armed forces and on
the moral force of right and on the
rule of international justice and legal
ity.
Fully conscious of the importance
of the promotion of pence on the
method proposed by your Holiness,
namely to submit international dis
putes to compulsory arbitration, we
are also prepared to enter into ne
gotiations regarding this proposal.
Wants Security Assured.
'If as we most heartily desire,
agreements should be arrived at be-
tween the belligerents which would
realize this sublime idea and thereby
give security to the Austro-Hungarian
monarchy for its unhampered future
development, it can then not be diff
ficult to find a satisfactory solution
of the other questions which still re-
main to be settled between the belli-
gerents in a spirit of justice and of a
reasonable consideration of the con
ditions for existence of both parties.
IF the nations of the earth were t.
enter, with a desire for peace, into
negotiations with one another in tn
sense of your Holiness proposals, then
peace could blossom forth among
them. The nations could obtain com
plete freedom of movement on the
high seas in order that heavy burdens
may be taken from the nations and
new success of prosperity opened to
them.
Suitable Basis. =,
Guided by a spirit of moderation
and Cancellation, we see in the pro-
poslas of your Holiness a suitable
basis for initiating negotiations with
a view to preparing a peace just to
all and lasting. we earnestly hope our
present enemies may be animated by
the same ideas. In this spirit we beg
that the Almighty may bless the work
of peace begun by your Holiness.

12,444 white men of
Richmond did7not have a
word to say about the
city government in 1916,
because they failed to
pay their poll taxes in
that year.
They were willing to
let somebody else do
their voting on all mat

and choose the officers
who handle the affairs of
