 Men Who Waived
 Exemption

Washington. August 17.--In replying to- day to a letter from Senator Weeks. urging that aliens be drafted for mili- tary service, President Wilson said the matter of diplomatic action to clear the way for such step lis already interest ing the department of state, and I have no doubt will be pressed as fast as cir cumstances permit
 Referring to suggestion by the senator hat men with families, except those who have married to escape draft, should be exempted, the President said he had req son to believe the point was very much
 in the mind at any rate of most of the drafting boards" but would take pleas- nre in calling the attention of the war department to it again.
 Prompt action by exemption appeal boards was urged today by Provost Mar shal General Crowder. in a telegram to the governors, declaring delays would mean that men with exemption claims un- decided would escape the September , call to the colors at the expense of others who have waived exemption. Every dis trict must furnish 30 per cent of its quota on the first call and unless the claims SSf All belonging in this contingent have been decided. men on down the line making no claims will have to be moved up into the vacancies.

FRENCH MAKE OTHER GAINS AT TYRES AND
 BRITISH HOLDING OWN
Prisoners Captured by the Canadians at Lens Now Number 112O Fight
 ing in Other Sectors

Their counter attacks hav- ing failed with severe losses, the Germans in the Ypres area of the western front, have not resumed attempts to recapure the ground lost to the British and French troops on Thurs day.
 On the northern wing of the Ypres front, the French, after repulsing heavy German counter attacks on Fri day, made further gains near the Steenbeke river. Elsewhere on this front, the latest report from Field Marshal Haig says, there has been no change. In addition to their cap- ture of more than 1900 prisoners, the allied forces captured "A guns from the Teutons.
 fFAI,sE K CLAIMS
 While admitting an allied gain along the Yser canal and near Bischoote, where the French advanced, Berlin claims officially that most of the Brit ish attacks were repulsed and that Langemarck is still in German hands. This claim of the German general staff is officially denied In London which says that the British not only hold Langemarck. but also ground beyond the village. London also officially de- nied that the fighting front was 20 miles long as Berlin declares. Field Marshal Haig on Thursday reported the fighting front in the Ypres area as being nine miles In length. The German general staff reports Thurs days fighting as "a full victory" for the Teutons. although admitting some reverses and claiming no gains.
 CANADIANS ACTIVE
 Between Loos and Lens the Cana dians are plugging away toward the capture of the last named place. They have consolidated and made secure their recent gains and have made fur ther progress west of Lens. The num- Der of prisoners taken here by the Ca- nadians now totals 1120.
 ATTACKING ON AISNE
 The German crown prince is not yet sure that the French positions along the Aisne front are invulnerable, and his latest attacks here have failed as did all his previous ones. One German effort was on a front of more than a (Continued on Page Seven)

Secretary Lansing and his advisers, on whom most of the responsibilities for making this analysis will rest, continued their study of the pontiff's suggestions with every indication that 1t probably would be several days before any con- crete step could be expected.
 Meantime, however, the undercurrent of official thought manifestly continued to trend toward conviction that the grand alliance will find some of the pro posals in the vatican note very difficult to accept.
 As the declared purpose of the pontiff's note was to present concrete bases for peace negotiations, 1t is re- garded as highly essential that the ex- act meaning of every phrase be carefuily weighed. keeping in mind that Tn the event the United States concludes to en- tertain the proposals, it will find itself irrevocably committed in the negotiations by the construction given at present
 On the other hand, should the Presi- dent decide not to entertain the peace proposals at this stage. that could not be done briefly or curtly.
 It was said at the state department it was not possible to predict when an answer could be returned. Of course. the note is undergoing precisely similar process of careful analysis in every one of the entente foreign offices, which ac- counts for the fact that Secretary Lam sing had no diplomatic visitors today to discuss the subject
 Within few days exchanges may be- gin between Washington and the entente capitals and perhaps Secretary Lansing and the diplomatic representatives of these powers. Official opinion inclines to the belief that there will be a separate reply from leach nation rather than a joint response as forecast in some for eign dispatches.

F Secretary Wilson Does Not Succeed Then v. s. May Operate Mines
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

son. as is commonly known, was. prior cabinet. member of labor union, and 1t is understood that he still possesses a card.
 Out of Washington tonight there were dispatched to Birmingham messages con- frming those sent earlier in the after noon instructing the miners to continue at work pending the visit of Secretary Wilson, and temporarily forget that they had received instructions to strike. As a there is no question but that the situa- tion, as far as Alabama is concerned, is greatly improved. The idea prevails that if the miners will not insist that the operators recognize the union, other joints of difference will be adjusted.
 GOVERNMENT DETERMINED
 The contemplated visit of Secretary Wilson to Alabama is another indication that the government is determined to prevent labor disturbances which would Interfere with it's war preparat tions. Min CTS are striking in Tennessee and Ken lucky and threatening to strike in otA- CT states. I. w. w. agents are threat ening to tie up industry in five western states. It Is reported here tonight that if the I. w. w. put threats into effect the government will send troops against them.
 It is understood that regarding the coal supply the President is rapidly preparing to take action under authority given him by provisions of the food bill. It is re- ported that he will advocate purchase

It was understood here that J. K, Kennamer, president of District 20, U. M w. of A.. and William Harrison, A, aeinber of the national executive b,,ard of the miners, were in Wash ington.
 G. B Mccormack, president of the Alabama Coal Operators association, speaking for that organization when President Whites telegram to the miners was read to him last night, said;
 M'CORMACK'S STATEMENT
 "p-asdent White has no reason to say that the Alabama coal operators are going to meet Secretary Wilson or anybody else in conference with them. His message to the miners is mislead- ing.
 For the Alabama coal operators. I should like to say that the coal oper- ators of this district have not recog- nized and will not recognize the union or the closed shop. The operators have not agreed and will not agree to go into conference with the United Mine Workers of America"
 But aside from the attitude of the miners and operators themselves there will be elation all over the BirminS ham district today when the news is read that the strike has been called off. While the statement of the union officials to the men sets forth that they are to remain at work pend- ing the conferences with Secre- tary of Labor Wilson there will be feeling that this means definitely that th-re is to be no strike in the Ala bama field at this time.
