OLYMPIA, Wash, Aug. 15.-Gov- ernor Ernest Lister today issued a proclamation appealing for an eight hour day in the lumber industry of the state, which has been crippled because of strikes. The governor said the ap- peal was a duty because the state coun- cil of defense, the national council of defense, through Secretary of War Baker, and citizens had failed to end the strike.
 T am convinced that peace and ef- ficiency cannot come to the industrial life of the state of Washington, said the governor in his proclamation, "un-

Enterino Western Lens

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN BELGIUM, Aug. 15.-(By the Asso- ciated Press, precede day)-After the brilliant advance this morning in which the Canadians captured Hill 70 and then swept on northwest of Lens the attackers were in close grips with the Germans in the western part of
 Lens late today
 The attack began at 4:25 o'clock just as the first streaks of dawn were appearing. All night the British big guns had been pouring steady
 stream of high explosive shells into the German positions, great detona- tions overlapping one another like the rapid cracking of a machine gun fire and swelling into a mighty volume of thunder that shook the earth and stunned the senses.
 Then a short time before the hour of offensive arrived the batteries ceased abruptly and a strange, almost oppressive stiffness fraught with the portending cataclysm which must fol- low crept over the country which until then had been an inferno of death.
 It had been raining and grey clouds i "till hung low over the trenches, where crouched the Canadian infan- men waiting eagerly for the arrival of the moment which would summon them to attack.
 Suddenly ten minutes before the time set for the attack every British gun within srange broke out with a hurri- cane of smelling and solid lines of crim- son lightning belched from the German
 trenches as the explosives broke about | them. To this iurid picture was added 1 the unforgettable spectacle of the 1 burning oil which the British threw on the enemy lines. Great clouds of pinkish colored smoke rolled across the country from the flaming liquid | and the murky sky threw back myriad

Fuuitives Captured

TUCSON, Aug. 15.-Antonio Rojas, a corporal in the Mexican army. and Ernest Mettates, an employe of the custom house at Nogales. Sonora. were arrested here today in connection with an alleged shortage of $60,000 in the accounts of the Mexican custom house at that point and are held in jail here for possible extradition to Sonora. The arrest of the two men resulted from a dispute between them and the driver of an automobile which brought them here from Nogales. When the men were arrested they told the officers of the discovery by Mexican officials of the deficit in the custom house funds and said they had fled for fear they would be executed on suspicion that they were involved in the shortage.
 According to the driver of the auto mobile, a third man left Nogales by another route. carrying with him part of the $60000 alleged to have been stolen from the custom house funds.

CANADIANS STORM LENS AND
 ENGAGE GERMANS IN HARD
 FIGHTING AT CLOSE QUARTERS
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

Lens again is the center of the fight ing on the western front The Can adians have taken Hill 70, dominating the city from the north and are within the city itself, engaging the Germans Tn desperate fighting at close quarters, after advancing on a two mile front to an extreme depth of one mile.
 For several weeks the Canadians slowly have been closing their lines Tn on the west, northwest and south west, in preparation for a supreme eff fort to place this center of the coal fields of the Pas de Calais in their possession. Hill 70, just east of Loos and north of Lens was the great stumbling block.
 Early Wednesday the Canadians stormed the hin. The splendid effort was successful and within few hours the important position was cleared of Germans. The Canadians swept on toward Lens from the northwest, cap turing several suburbs and entering the western part of the city. The Germans tried desperately to check the Canadian advance, but five counter attacks were in vain While suffering only slight casualties themselves, the Canadians inflicted heavy losses on
 
 prisoners.
 In Flanders the intense artillery fighting goes on with undiminished vigor. The infantry has been more active, but except for the French, is engaged only in raids. On the Dix nude road, northwest of Bixschoote, the French pushed forward and sue ceeded in realizing considerable pro- gress. Artillery duels and small and isolated attacks have occurred on the French front from St. Quentin to the Swiss border
 Fighting in southwest Moldavia is lessening in intensity. In the noun tains the Russians and Rumanians have given up a height west of Ocna to the Austro-Germans. In the Putna valley and toward the line of the Sereth Berlin reports Field Marshal von Mackensen has made some pro- gress, capturing the town of Stracani Three thousand prisoners, guns and machine guns have been captured by the Austro- -Germans in the Moldavian 1 theater. Around Fokshani there has 1 been no fighting, but southeast along the Sereth, the Teutons have stormed | the bridge head at Ratlaretu. Nicholas Romanoff and the other l members of his immediate family have 1 been removed from the former inn perial home at Tsarskoe-Selo, where i they had been under guard since the March revolution. A semi-official an nouncement says it is reported the former emperor is being taken to Tobolsk, beyond the Cral mountains 1 inside Russia. Tobolsk is far from a railroad and is reached only by a long overland journey or by an occasional I river steamer
 l British merchant losses fell off some 1 during the last week in comparison with the previous week. when a slight increase was noted. Fourteen vessels l of more than 1900 tons were lost last week through mines or submarines in comparison with 21 the previous week The loss in vessels under 1900 tons remained unchanged at two.
