GREAT BRITAIN GAN
 NOT BE STARVED
(Continued From Page one)

The stock of wheat in Great Britain has increased by one-third within a year and this years harvest promises well, but economy still is necessary. German claims as to British ship losses, the premier said, were exag- gerated in the hope of cheering up the I-ople of the central powers. Al though the submarine losses in April had been 560.O00 tons, they had de creased until the average for July and August would be 175,0OO tons net each. Shipbuilding had been speeded up. yes sells had been purchasd abroad and the total tonnage acquired in 1917 would reach nearly 2,OOO.O0O tons. The pre- mier said he believed the losses would grow smaller and that the admiralty had met with success in Combatting ;he submarine menace, while measures taken by the shipping controller and permitted vessels to carry increased tonnage

Investigation
 To Be Asked of
 Lumber Strike
(By Review Leased Wire )

SEATTLE, Aug. 16.-Although Gov ernor Listers proclamation calling for settlement of the lumber strike is sued last night at Olympia had not reached the lumber operators officially late today, the operators informal statement declared that the proposal of the governor for an eight-hour day did not impress them as feasible.
 Robert B. Allen, secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's association, said that the lumbermen of the Pacific northwest would never consent to an eight-hour day in this section and allow the ten-hour day to remain in effect elsewhere.
 The Lumbermen'ss Protective league issued statement in which it was de clared that the strike of lumber em- ployes was an Industrial Workers of the World insurrection.
 Joint state and federal investigation of the lumber industry in the north west is to be requested by Governor Lister, according to word reaching here from Olympia today. if the labor troubles are not adjusted by Saturday night.

ago. Attention is directed to the fact that any such changes as may have oc- cured in the military situation have made it distinctly to the advantage of the central powers to endeavor to make peace now.
 Germany Would Gain.
 Notwithstanding the different and conflicting statements made by Ger man and Austrian ministers as to a basis of peace negotiations. it is de- clared by some of the diplomats who have closely studied the situation that nowhere has there been any real evi- dence of an abandonment of the first German demand for a peace based ''on the map which would insure the cen tral powers actual military, if not technical and political control, of the territories in possession of the Ger manic troops when peace is declared.
 The Germans in possession of most of Belgium and a large part of France, were quite willing year ago to make peace. But with the Russians in possession of some of their best eastern provinces, the Austrian gov ernment was not of like mind. Now it is pointed by the entente diplomats. as a result of the collapse of the Rus sian offensive and the clearing of Galicia of Russian troops the Aus trian government is also willing and enxious for peace. as are the Ger mans in the Knowledge that the tide has turned against them in the west and that another year probably will find them in possession of little or no French and Belgium territory.
 U. S. Will Stand Pat.
 In addition to consulting with Pres ident Wilson, Secretary Lansing will begin to ascertain the views of en- tente governments regarding the pope's message. Although no party to a formal alliance, the United States. having joined fortunes with the en- tente allies in the supreme struggle for democratic ideals. the necessity and propriety of consulting with them as to any measures looking to peace is obvious.
 It is probable that before the formal replies are made, statesmen in the various entente countries will in a way test out public sentiment by in- dividual statements. It is believed in Washington that this was one of the purposes of Lloyd-George's speech in parliament.

NEW YORK, August 16.-Specula- ton in sugar, which had been advanc- ing in price for months. was banned on the New York Coffee and Sugar Exchange today at the instance of Herbert c.

The German defenses In this inhospitable zone consisted chief ly of fortified machine gun positions. largely in the preliminary lombard ment The French met witt little re- sistance and the operation was carried out with few casualties.
 The portion of the Steenbeke that the French crossed lies between a point weset of Wijendrift and a bend in the river 1.5OO yards north, a little southwest of St. Janshoek. On the east side of the river they met strong resistance at Champaubert Farm ana at the Briehne House, both strongly fortified and machine gun nests. The French artillery was brought into play and these strongholds were forced to surrender.
 Dreigrachten was occupied with lit tie or no resistance as was virtually all the country south of the place. The French front now runs from Dreigrach- ten alon gthe left bank Of the St. Jans- beck river to point of crossing be- low St. Janshoek. whence it runs southeast to junction with the new British line.
 The Germans had concentrated large bodies of troops in the Houthuls forest in anticipation of this attack but the French heavy guns bombarded the woods so effectively that it was impos- sible to bring up reserves.
 The German losses in the prelimi- nary bombardment were severe and thhe French alread yhad accounted for 300 prisoners when the correspondent of the Associated Press visited their front at noon. The booty obtained by the French will be considerable, in- cluding a number of heavy guns which stuck in the mud and were abandoned by the retreating Germans. Many ma chine guns also fell into the hands of the French.

Rumanians and Russians have mad, numerous attacks in efforts to captur' Stracani and Pantziu. In the Trotui valley, the Austro-German advance ap parently continues. Berlin says tha the forces of Field Marshal von Mack ensen have captured more than 3,50I prisoners, 16 guns and more than 5I machine guns in the recent fighting.
 Counter Attacks Fail.
 BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AMI BELGIUM, August Is, 10 a. m.-Forcei of the entente allies at daybreak to day began another drive against troop: of Grown Prince Ruppercht of Bava ria, along a wide front from point opposite Polygon wood, east of Ypres to the left of the French positions or the northward.
 In the first onslaught the right flank of the French surged across the Steen beke river at the same time the lefl wing pushed forward correspondingly
 Meanwhile the Canadians were hold ing strongly Hill 70 and all the other positions which they wrested from the Germans about Lens yesterday, af ter having beaten of ten furious coun' ter attacks in which the enemy suf. fered reavy casualties.
 Hand to Hand Fighting.
 The last German counter-attack of the night occurred at half past nine giving the British a chance to consol. idate their new lines. The checking up of the British casualties this morn ing indicated that they had been mod crate.
 The German counter-attacks were most determined and resulted in fierce hand to hand fighting among the wrecked buildings in the suburbs of Lens. Following their usual methods, the Germansc hurled their men into the combat without apparent thought of the coast of life, and the result was most disastrous.
 Division Wiped Out.
 Among the heaviest sufferers were the fourth division of the Prussian Guard, who were sent into the battle late, to endeavor to regain the lost positions. The famous troops advanc- ed in columns of fours and immedi- ately were met by concentrated ma chine gun fire which moved them down in large numbers.
 Wave after wave of the guardsmen were sent up into the terrific hail of death. and each succeeding wave met the fate of the former wave, until vir- tuaIly the entire division had been an, initiated.
 The German artiller gay ethe Brit ish their most trouble, pouring a heavy fire into the ranks of the ad- vancing infantry and smelling heavily the rear areas.
