Washington Executive Issues
an Impressive Labor Day
Proclamation.

Olympia, Wash, Aug. Ex-Governor
Lister in his Labor day proclamation,
issued today, refers to the strikes and
threats of strikes in Washington, and
asks for a sentiment that will bring
industrial peace. The proclamation
says: Conditions in the industrial
world at the present moment render it
particularly appropriate for us to

DOUBLE AMMUNITION FOR
ARMED MERCHANTMEN
Navy Department Acts on Re-
ports of Experience of the
Steamer Campana.

Washington, Aug. 23.-As result
of the official report on the submarine
destruction of the American tank
steamer campana. which said the gun
crews supply of shells ran out in tn.
midst of the fight, the amount of am
nutrition supplied to armed merchan:
ships will be doubled. The campana
had $50 shells.
Naval officers have not accepted as
conclusive the unofficial report that
the failure Of the gunners on the Cam
pana TO strike the submarine was due
to the superior range of the subma-
rine's guns, but believe II more prob
able that II was a case of low visibility
making the small attacking craft an
exceedingly bad target.
II is also pointed out that the speed
of the tanker was not great, giving
the submarine an advantage.
The Campana's captain and five OF
the naval crew were captured and
taken on the submarine. Reports
have said the submarine was later
sunk by French cruiser.

THE WAR SUMMARY.

Italy's great effort on the Isonzo
front is meeting with continued sue
cess, Rome reports officially, and her
troops are proceeding toward reali- :
cation of their objectives. Further
ground has been gained on both the
northern and southern wings. Aus
trian counter attacks of great severity
are being repulscd. The Austrian
losses in the first two days of the
battle are computed unofficially in
Italy at 10000.
The fighting on the Verdun front is
dying down. The French objectives
north of Verdun apparently have been
attained and except for the capture by
the French of small fortified posi-
tion no infantry actions in this sector
are reported. The number of pris-
oners has reached 1888 The French
also have captured "a cannon and
more than 200 machine guns.
The Germans continued their attacks $
on the Aisne front last night, but
met with no better fortune than here
