LABOR UNIONS OPPOSE
MOSCOW CONFERENCE
People Fear Counter -RevOIu-
tion is About to Be
Launched.

Moscow Aug. 25.-Labor unions are
opposing the Moscow conference and
have announced a one day strike in
protest. The leaders of the unions de-
clared the conference to be Counter
revolutionary" and that it was not
possible for democratic organizations
to participate. They regard the con-
ference as an effort to deceive the
masses. Protest meetings in various
factories and works were called for to-
day.
Minimalists and social revolution
lists likewise are voicing opposition
and held meeting at which il was
resolved that the conference was un-
representative Of the people and an
nouncing in advance that they would
not abide by any decision taken. In
view of the widespread opposition the
big opera house where the conference
will sit will be surrounded by troops
throughout the sessions.

WOULD
AVOID TAKING Of
THE MARRIED MEN
Writes Secretary Baker That
it Should Be Avoided
if Possible.
EXECUTIVES OPINION
CONFLICTS WITH ARMY
Would Favor Heads of Fam
lilies at Least Upon
First Draft.

Washington, Aug. IS. - President
Wilson has written Secretary Baker
expressing a view that the draftinq of
married men who are heads of fami-
lies should be carefully examined into.
and avoided. If possible, and express
ing the view that single men should
be taken where it is possible.
As the president is empowered by
the draft law to make the regulations
under which it will be carried out.
the effect of his letter to Secretary
Baker is to throw his attitude toward
a more liberal policy for exemption of
married men than heretofore has been
pursued by the provost marshal gem
erals office.
1t is no secret that the presidents
opinion is in open conflict with the
Interpretation placed upon the law by
the army officers who are administer
ing it. They contend that as the his
tory of the law shows that congress
voted down amendments to EXEMPT
married men, they have not received
authority to exempt them except on
grounds of dependency alone.
President Wilson's view, as forecast
IN his recent letter to Senator Weeks.
is that the taking of married men and
heads of families should be avoided at
least on the first draft

German Chancellor EvadeS the

Reichstag Leaders Declare He
Must Seek Peace Under
Their Resolution.

Copenhagen, Aug. 25.-Yesterday's
session of the main committee of the
reichstag was productive of further
declarations and discussions regarding
Chancellor MiohaeIis' attitude on peace,
which the latest German papers con-
strue variously. A careful perusal of
the mass of reports and comments on
the committee meetings yesterday and
Wednesday shows that DR.. Michaelis
throughout conferences with party
leaders did not change his attitude re-

THE WAR SUMMARY.

The Austrian line on the Isonxo
front has been broken at severa
points by the Italians, it is announced
officially at Rome. The Italians, con
tinuing their furious assaults between
ToImino and the Adriatie, are now
pursuing the retreating Austrians
who are defending the difficult
ground yard by yard.
One of the most brilliant feats OF
the Italians was the capture of Monte
Santo, 2,245 feet high. This peak
seven miles north of 'Gorizia, domi-
mates the broad plain beyond that
city and occupancy of it has enabled
the Austrians to hold up the Italian
advance to the east since their cap
ture of that city last year.
Having gained their joint objec-
tives on the Verdun front the French
are completing their victory by local
attacks to round out and secure their
new lines. Profiting by the capture
of Hill 304 yesterday, they advanced
last night to the north of 1t.
Renewal of fighting in the Cham
payne may be forecast in the state
ment of the official French report
that violent artillery engagements are
in progress there. In Belgium also in
the vicinity of Bixschoote the big
guns are heavily engaged.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The ex-
plosion at Mare Island navy yard
in July, killing five and injuring
more than 80, is pronounced in an
official report made public today
by Secretary Daniels to have been
the deliberate act Of some one un-
known and not an accident.
Secretary Daniels today made public
synopsis of the report made after
the explosion at Mare Island by the
bureau of ordnance and navigation and
the judge advocate general of the
navy. All those branches of the serv-
ice agreed that there had been no
hampering instructions or restrictive
directions of the method of investiga-
ton"
1t was the Mare Island explosion in
vestigation which led to the recent
bitter controversy between Secretary
Daniels and the Navy league which
eliminated in Mr. Daniels cutting all
relations between the naval establish
ment and the league. In a statement
recently, the avowed purpose of which
was to secure publicity for the inves-
tigation, the league declared that il
had been informed of evidence that u
time fuse had been found leading to
the black powder magazine in which
| the explosion occurred showing a
criminal conspiracy and that the in
Vestigation was being hampered by
| powerful labor influences.
Secretary Daniels hotly denounced
the charge that any influence was
holding up the investigation and cut
off all connections with the league. As
to the truth of the charge that fuse
had been discovered. Mr.. Daniels said
