Petragrad, Aug. 26. = Russian
scouts and flyers on the Riga front
returning from extensive reconnois-
sances report that behinw the re-
grouping Of their forces along the
Mitan-Riga roads the Germans are
making intensive preparations for on.
ergetic operations. The bringing up
of important military supplies is in
cessantly under way. Endless troop
trains are continually on the move on
all the rails of communication.
Behind the front also feverish
activity premails, showing that the
massing Of troops continues on a
grand scale and without pause. With
every hour 1t is becoming more evil
dent that a German drive Is near and
inevitable.
There are also unmistakable signs
that the Germans hope for the coop
Grafton of their naval forces in the
Riga bay.
On the Dvinsk front the Germans
have been making Jealous but abso-
lutely fruitless efforts to lure the
Russian troops into determination.
These efforts are made, 1t is believed,
primarily in order to bring about a
virtual armistice on this front which
would save them the cost of an Of
fensive.
Special mention is made by the war
office of the exceptional bravery of
Ensign Popou, of the mortar division
on the Riga front. Taking advant-
age of the darkness several nights
ago, he moved his howitzer to within
800 feet Of the German line and OPP
ened up terrific closeup" fire
against the Teuton defense works.
His fire annihilated the strong field
Notifications, together with all the
machine guns stationed in them.
The German attacking operations
are particularly intensive in the Sec
tor Of Kokau (Kekkau, nine and a
half miles southeast OF Riga, where
the German lines are closest to that
city,, and Baltiona.
Austrians Unable to
Halt italian Drive.
With Monte Santo securely in their
possession, the Italians are continu-
ing their drive eastward over the
Bainsizza plateau Notwithstanding
the violent resistance Of the Austri-
ans. Italian airmen are lending won
derful aid to General Cadorna's
forces, dropping bombs or using their
machine guns with telling effect on
troop concentrations behind the line.
The number of prisoners taken by
the Italians Is mounting, the latest
report showing that 600 officers and
$4,000 men have been captured. The
capture Of war stores by the Italians
has been enormous, including guns OF
all calibres and arms, ammunition,
horses and motor tractors.

Family Men Exempted
In Wilson'S Order

as the history of the law shows that
congress voted down amendments to
exempt married men, they have nc
legal authority to exempt them ex-
cept on the grounds of dependency
alone.
President Wilson's view as forecast
in his recent letter to Senator Weeks
is that the taking of married men
and heads of families should be
avoided at least in the first draft.

sist of auxiliaries to the District chap

plished by trying to assemble volun-
