Berlin Finally Admits Loss of Langemarck - AZ, ,OOO Pris- oners Taken by Austro-Cer- mans on East Front.
(By Kev1ew Leased Wire,

@ROWN Prince Rupprecht. of Ba- varia, continues to hurl counter attacks against the new positions
 captured by the Canadians in their recent offensive in the region of Lens. Saturday morning the Germans forced their way into the Canadian trenches northwest of the French mining cen ter, but after furious hand-to-hand fighting they were elected. leaving a considerable number of dead on the battlefield.
 On the Belgian front from the North sea coast to the Ypres sector. where the British and French in the offensive begun in the middle of the week. took 1900 prisoners and 24 guns, the French again have pushed forward. capturing a strong German point of support east of the Steenbeke river. The British have organized their newly conquered terrain and the artillery bombardment on this front again has assumed a degree of drum fire inten- sity. rresaging another vicious blow at the German lines. The Berlin war office now admits the loss. after se- were fighting. of the Belgian village of Langemarck, northeast of Ypres. and says the German troops have occupied lines in front of the positions con- quered by the British.
 Retake All Trenches
 On the river Aisne front the German crown prince directed a number of at tacks on the French trenches. notably in the vicinity of Froidmont farm. but all were repulsed. Preparations for a German assault in the Massiges sec tor of the Champagne region were broken up by French fire. On the Verdun front spirited French attack swept over the German positions in Caurieres Wood. enabling the French to retake all the trenches which had been wrested from them on August l6 and r.
 Aviators of all the belligerents on the western front were active as the week closed French aviators shot down seven German machines and forced eight others to land in a badly damaged condition. On the night of August 17-1S. French aerial squadrons dropped fourteen tons of explosives on German aviation grounds. railway sta tions and encampments. British air men destroyed 23 Teuton airplanes and forced 13 others to land. Eleven British planes and two French ma chimes. according to the British and French reports, did not return. The Germans claim to have accounted for 26 entente airplanes.

 CONTINUE PLANS
 FOR BIG STRIKE

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 1S.-Jas. Rowan, district secretary of the Indus trial Workers of the World, who is sued the call for general strike in Montana, Oregon, Idaho and Washing ton to begin Monday, unless members of the organization who are now held in jail are released, continued today to perfect arrangements for the strike Rowan said officials of the organiza- tion issued the strike call at the urgent demand of workers. Plans proposei in some quarters to arrest the leaders of the strike movement apparently do not worry Rowan. He said his organi zation always prepares for such em- ergencies and if he is arrested his un- derstudy will act as district secretary.
 The city and county officials joined in an appeal to Governor Lister today to take action against the Industria! Workers. Mayor Fleming was the oGly official who refused to agree to a de mand for tsieral troops.
 The appeal states that the Industrial Workers of the World situation il this vicinity is rapidly becoming serious menace. Crops are in danger of not being harvested, due to activities of the Industrial Workers of the World organization, which apparently has headquarters here," the petition reads. Continuing, Sufficient evidence is available to state laws to prosecute the criminal element of this unpatriot- ic organization and the popuation of this section of the state has been aroused to such an extent that sooner or later there may be bloodshed."

Lust Ten Percent
 To Be Selected
 With Great Cure
(By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-Renew- ed discussion of the status of married men under the selective service law has been aroused by publication of President Wilson's reply yesterday to Senator Weeks inquiry dealing with this and other subjects. In many quarters the presidents statement that he had no doubt Senator Weeks point as to the exemption of married men was well taken was interpreted as an indication that he approved exemption of any many of family who had not married merely to escape military duty.
 The president has full power to di- rect that all regulations governing se- lection be amended to this effect.
 The regulation promulgated by the president making exemption possible only in case of actual dependency, is taken as an indication that no gener- al exemption of married men as class will be given now. In caution ing local boards today against attempt ing to fill quotas by selecting an in equitable number of men who have waived exemption and are. therefore, practically volunteers, General Crow der said that the greatest care must be exercised in sending forward the last ten per cent of any quota.
 "The last ten per cent" he said, must be selected with great care to be sure that no one in the whole quota is sent for military duty while a se- lected person with an earlier order of oblijation for military service is al- lowed to remain at home.'

~ IGUAD, Que, August 1S.-The K great plant here of Curtis and IN Harvey, Limited. explosive
 manufacturers was wrecked to- day by a series of terrific explosions and buried beneath the ruins of dog en structures that comprised the fac tory are an unknown number of dead.
 Several thousand male and female workers employed at the plant were in the danger zone for hours. An ear ly estimate based on first reports placed the number of killed at about 250, but indications this afternoon that there were comparatively few casual ties.
 A relief train arrived from Mont real at noon bringing doctors and nurs- es but owing to fierce heat from the burning ruins of the plant they were unable to approach. No death list can be obtained until the ruins cool.
 The loss in the value of stock and buildings will amount to millions.
 The first explosion was caused by the overheating of the machinery in the nitric acid building. Flames leap ed through the building and another explosion occurred. Most of the work CTS are believed to have had time to escape.
 Thirteen other explosions occurred at short intervals shaking the sur rounding country like series of earth quakes.
 One of the explosions blew down a number of houses in Dragon, where most of the workers lived, and two farm houses a mile away.
 Estimate 15o to 175 Killed.
 MONTREAL. Que, August 1S.-A report from Riguad, Que. today esti- mated the loss of life between 150 and 175 persons. Examination of the ruins for the bodies had not been pos sible as the shattered remnants of the buildings were still blazing. A roll call of the employees at the plant will be made to ascertain if possible the exact number of dead. This work has been made difficult by the explo- sion when the workers were changing shifts. Officials of the company stated. that it had been established two fore men are among the missing and as they had not been heard from it IS not certain they were killed.
 The difficulty in rounding ID the thousands of men and women workers at the plant in order to determine the number of missing, was increased by the fact that hundreds of the em- ployes, terrified by their experiences. had scattered throug the adjacent countryside.

Stringent Measures Impos-
ed by Government Are I
Having Their Effect
RUMANIANS STILL
PUSHING FORWARD
Artillerymen Pleaded On
Their Knees to Save
Guns
CBy Associated Press.>

Despite all unfavorable news that
continues to come from the Russian
war theater there are occasional
Signs Of improvement in the situa-
ton.
Last evening Petrograd newspa-
pers. for instance. found cause to re-
port a better situation at the front
probably as a result of drastic
measures TO restore discipline which
the government has authorized In
the establishment of field court
martial and the reimprovision OF the
death penalty.
Similar stringent methods in Pet-
rograd also appear to have proven
effective in dealing with disorderly
elements. Reports Of renewed fight-
ing in the capital are accompanies
by the statement that government
troops stepped into the situation
with salutary effect, suppressing the
rioting.
Meanwhile the entente front else
where is giving renewed evidence OF
its solidity not only in a military
but in q political way. The allied
conference at Paris which was be-
lieyed to have been chiefly devoted
TO Balkan affairs adjourned its ses-
sion with a renewed declaration OF
united purpose on the part OF the
entente powers not TO lay down their
arms until the central powers were
put in q position where they would
not find IL possible TO pursue a policy
of criminal aggression.
