CANADIANS KNOCKING
 AT THE GATES OF LENS
Nocturnal Enterprise Carries Them Closer to the Town Artillery Continues Active Over Wide Section of Front.

London, June 25.-The Canadians are knocking at the gates of Lens again. Since April II they have been virtually in the outskirts of the queen city of Frances mining dis trict. They have kept their grip on it against all Teuton counter-a1tacks and in the fact of steady shelling. Last night they served a painful re- hinder upon the Germans that they have come not only to stay where they are, but to take the city.
 In a brilliant nocturnal charge the dominion troops stormed 400 yards of a German first line trench and held it fast. It was another local but im- portant step toward the investment of Lens.
 While this advance of the Cana dians was the only major action of the last 24 hours on the Anglo Ger man front, there was a decided in crease in activity all along the 120- mile line, with the British on the ini- tiative. Fully a score of raids were executed against the Teuton lines at vital strategic points. All were sue cessful, according to the British re- port. Berlin asserts they were re- pulsed.
 On the Aisne and in the Champagne the guns are still in the foreground of activity. The French beat off two German surprise attacks and some raids on small posts. The German war office announced the repulse of a French attack with some loss to the assailants.

PRESIDENT ASSUMES
 CONTROL OF EXPORTS
Power Conferred by Clause of Espionage BilLExpOrt Coun- cil of Food Administrator and Three Cabinet Members.

Washington, June 25.-Control of American exports, authorized in clause of the espionage bill, was as- sumed today by President Wilson with the appointment of an exports council comprising the secretaries of state, agriculture, and commerce and the food administrator. An executive or der creating the council directs the Department of Commerce to admin ister all details of operation.
 A victorious conclusion of the war can come, said the president, in statement tonight outlining the coun- try's export policy, only by systematic direction of American trade.
 "The free play of trade will not be arbitrarily interfered with he said. "lt will only be intelligently and sys- tematically directed in the light of full information with regard to the needs and market conditions through out the world and the necessaries of our people at home and our armies and the armies of our associates abroad"
 Members of the exports council will meet tomorrow to organize and to recommend to the president series of proclamations which will put the law into active operation.
 The first proclamation will require the licensing of all coal and fuel ship ments, including bunkers, and it's pur- pose is to give the government first firm ground on shipping.
 The second will provide system of licensing for every class of ex- ports to the European neutral coun- tries, and is designed to prevent sup plies from reaching Germany.
 Proclamations to follow will name specific commodities which may not be shipped anywhere without licenses. The first commodities to be designat- ed will be cereals and foodstuffs. By degrees the list will be extended until virtually every export commodity is brought under operation of the act.

NO GREAT DEMAND IN
 ARKANSAS FOR LABORERS

Little Rock, June 26-In letter to the Michigan commissioner of labor, the Arkansas state commits siener of labor says: "There is no great demand in Arkansas for labor CTS. At this time, however, there are possibly fewer idle men in the state than at any other time during the past few years. Wages in this state for common labor are from S1.50 to Sl.75 day, and from this hospital fees and other reductions are made. This class of work is not constant, so you will see it would not profit citi- zens of Michigan to come to this state at this time to work in the lum- Der camps at wages stated above"

RUSSIAN ARMY AT THE
 FRONT FIT FOR FIGHT
Dorch-Fleurot Says That Force is We'll Supplied-Only One Division at Front Refused to Obey Orders.

Petrograd, June 25.-Russia is now Tit for fighting at the front. The army had the disposition a few weeks ago of wanting to discuss everything be- fore action, but that is passing. Back of the front-where the soldiers are counted by the millions-the depots are still debating societies, but the front wants to fight, and is going to fight.
 l l have had the privilege of an ex- cellent closeup view of the army and its problems for the last IS days, hav- ing accompanied to the front the par ty of Belgian Internationalists Social ists under the leadership of Emile Vandervelde, the Belgian minister without portfolio and the president of the Socialist International. The party covered hundreds of miles in motor cars, had scores of meetings and, en- toying the confidence of both officers and men, had an intimate view of the fighting possibilities of the army.
 We left Petrograd sick at heart over the endless abstract discussions that were enervating the nation and leaving its reserves in shapeless mass es, but on the long stretches of the front we found little dissension, and while the soldiers even in the front trenches insisted on knowing why they should continue fighting, the discipline was unbroken.
 Fraternizing has almost stopped by the mutual return to hostilities. The Russian armies are now completely supplied with every material for bat tie, and the desire to bring an end to the war by victory is sufficiently strong in large part of the army to be able to carry the whole fight ing force into an offensive.
 So we returned all convinced that the Russian army, despite the revo- lutionary upheavals, will make a de- cisive offensive.
 As the influence of MT. Vandervelde is of great account among the So- ciahsts, we were taken to the points on the front where the most discus sion has taken place. Thus we saw the worst side of conditions. Yet on the journey covering the Galician. Bukowinian and Roumanian fronts in more than a million troops were found only one division which had refused to obey orders, and it had asked only for delay in doing so. This divi- sion felt that it had earned rest, but half of the men broke away from those who refused to give implicit obedience, and went forward, doubly eager to fight. They also took with them the wagon trains, provisions and artillery of the division, leaving the mutineers in desperate plight.
