Still the center of military interest
the Russian front from Volhynia
southwark to the bend in the line
near Fokshani, In Rumania, presents
the curious spectacle of the Russians
still in retreat on a wide front In
eastern Galicia and of Russian and
Rumanian forces VIGOROUSLY ad-
vancing in an important sector along
the eastern Moldavian frontier.
Petrograd has little to say of the
situation in eastern Galicia, but in
dicates a considerable resistance by
the Russian forces in the Carpathians,

Russo Rumanians Gaining.
On the Moldavian front the Rus
slams and Rumanians are carrying out
an effective operation which has bent
back the defensive line opposite
Kezdi- -Vasarhely, Pennsylvania, and
further north. Important heights
have been occupied by the Ruman-
ians near Berecszi while in the vicinity
of Kalakul mountain the Russians
are pushing toward the Putna river
and have occupied Bodupule, on the
left bank of the Putna.
Possible indications of further re-
organization of the Russian military
machines was seen in the summoning
of two famous generals of the old
regime to Petrograd. The men sum-
moned are General Ruzsky, formerly
commander n-chief of the northern
armies, and General Gurko, former
commander of the southwestern
front.
Artillery Battle Rages.
The British front in Flanders is
again trembling with the shock of
great artillery battle. Drum fire of
the most intense character was
opened this morning, Berlin reports.
Several times of late there have been
indications that an attack was about
to be opened, apparently on the part
of the British, but none of moment
has yet developed. Recently the re-
ports have Indicated the German ar
tillery also was very active on this
front, possibly in an attempt to
check by counter-fire any movement
the British might be attempting.
After an interval of more than a
year and a half the Germans have
made an air raid on Paris. Accounts
from the French capital do not in
dicate that the raid, which was car
ried out on Friday night, was one in
force or that it had serious results.
The Berlin announcement states that
bombs were dropped on railway sta
tions and military establishments.

washington, July 2S.-The gravity
OF the task which faces members of
local draft exemption boards Is called
to their attention in solemn language,
In communication sent broadcast by
the war department and made public
tonight by Provost Marshal General
Crowder.
THE selected man offers his life :"
says General Crowder. ut will
strengthen you to remember that for
every exemption or discharge that is
made for individual convenience. or
to escape personal loss of money or
or for favor or affection
some other man, whose time would
not otherwise have come, must incur
the risk of losing his life"
The boards are told that they are
not courts to adjust differences be-
tween two persons in controversy.
You, acting for the government"
says the communication ARE to in
Vesugate each case in the interests
OF the nation, and never in the inter-
ests of an individual"
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1917-07-29
Will Get hWtIe Praise,

General Crowder closes with the
declaration that the nation needs men
quickly and the boards will receive
ilttle praise and some blame. Your
only reward he said, must be the
knowledge that at great personal sac
rifice you are rendering your coun-
try an indispensable service in q mat
ter of the utmost moment"
President Wilson tonight issued an
executive order directing government
officials to exercise 'the greatest
care in issuing exemption affidavits
TO employees in the civil service de-
partments, emphasizing the high ma
tional importance of carrying out "the
spirit of the selective service act and
or securing It's fullest effectiveness by
holding to military service all drafted
men who are not absolutely indispen-
sable to department work. He says
discharges should be reduced to the
minimum number consistent with
Inc maintenance of vital national in
terests during the emergency of war.

Appeals to Employers.

1t Is earnestly hoped, moreover"
the order concludes, that, acting in
the same spirit as the federal de-
partmental officials, all citizens who
may be called upon as employers, un-
der section "a of the regulations, to
make affidavits for securing the dis
charge of persons deemed to be in
dispensable to national interests. dur
ing the emergency will exercise the
same conscientious and scrupulous
caution, to the end that there will ap-
pear to be no favored or exempted
class among the citizens called by law
to the national defense"
General Crowder's communication,
mailed to all boards, reads as follows:
Crowder's Statement.
You are entering on a difficult
task, the gravity of which is beyond
anything that can be said in the way
OF discussion. You realize the signifi-
canoe of what you are to do and you
know that responsibility, heavier
upon you.
War demands individual sacrifice
TO the common cause. No people
ever approached war with calmer
view of that sacrifice or a firmer re-
solve to bear it and to present them
selves to be classified for service in
the places to which it shall best serve
the common good to call them. This
calm determination could not exist
were It not for the confidence of the
nation in its institutions. In this
public confidence is found the very

WatchfuI Eyes of German Agents Took in All
 Transportation
 Movements. AGENTS ON THE DOCKS Many Who Assisted Boats to Sail for France
 Bear Names of
 Germany.

NEW YORK, July 16. - General Pershing and the first contingent of American troops sailed for France from an Atlantic port under the watchful eyes of hundreds of Ger mans employed by this government, and through one of these Germans the U-boat commanders probably learned of the sailing of the trans ports.
 Men with German names are still employed on and about the piers from which the transports sailed. Most of these men are former en- ployees of the Hamburg-American Line, whose officials and employees almost to man were in the Kais- CTS secret service.
 One of these men, who holds a trusted position, is a relative of a German who pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiring to smuggle SUD- plies into Germany.
 All Are German.
 He is also crony of Capt. Chas. von Kleist, who although a natural ized American and a resident of this country for thirty-five years, par i ticipated in the plot to destroy Al lied shipping by means of fire bombs when ordered by one of Capt. Franz von Papen's Prussian under {! lings
 One of the watchmen on these piers is a former employee of the Hamburg American Line. The gar dener is naturalized German, for merly employed by the Hamburg American Line. One of the tele- i phone operators is the son of an of ficial of German stamship line The German crew of one of the Hamburg-American Line tugboats is still kept on the vessel and was on it when it was plying between the transports laden with American troops before they left The German members of this tug i boat crew knew days in advance that the troops would embark, where they would sail from and when they would sail.

WAR GESTURES ALL MANNER OF BUSINESS
 SAYS F. B. PARSONS

The war is disturbing business conditions throughout the country more than is generally understood according to F. E. Parsons, who has just returned from a business trip that included Omaha, Kansas City, Minneapolis, St. Paul and oth- CT Middle Western cities. Not that there is any lack of prosperity or financial troubles, because the coun- try is exceedingly prosperous and money and chances to work are plentiful, but the changes in the trade channels due to the great de- mands of the government and her Allies for war supplies is making it hard to calculate in advance on prices or on deliveries.
 Tt was a fine trip" said Mir. Parsons, 'and it does an American good to see the people respond to the country's call for money, men and service of all kinds. It stirs sentiment and arouses feelings that the daily grind of business and toll had in too many instances put to sleep. But the people are awaken ed now, and I believe there is not business man in the country with red American blood in his veins who is not pleased to make the dis covery that he is still patriotic, and that his affection for the country and the flag and that of his fellow countrymen are as great as was that of our ancestors.

 Should Be Wedding Out.
 Fourteen of these former Ham, burg-A American Line employees, eX- elusive of the tugboat crew, are en- ployed about the piers from which the American troops embarked.
 The quartermaster's department of the United States army, which employs these men, has no choice but employ them, said a federal off, cial today.
 This is not the doing of the army. It is up to the marine sup erintendent. There is no question but that there should be wedding out. Rut the higher authorities were assured by some of these Ger mans whom I would not employ will lingly, of their loyalty, and so they are here"

JUST A NEW BURDEN
Anti-Suffrage Leaders Lament Re-
SpOnsibiIity of the Ballot.

New York, April 1s.-Declarine
that 1.-The ballot IS not a reward but
burden" Mrs. Arthur Nj. Dodge and
Miss Alice Hill Chittenden, presidents
respectively of the National and of the
New York State associations opposed
to woman suffrage, issued a joint
statement today protesting against
proposals to give women the suffrage
as reward for services to their coun-
try The statement continues:
THE political payment proposed is
an insult to woman's patriotism as
price and an insult to her intelligence
as a reward. The state can no more
reward its women with a vote than
man can compensate his wife or
mother by forcing additional work and
worry upon her when she is already
overburdened with duties she cannot
shirk.'

partment the Woman'S University
club of this city has cabled request
