Whole Construction Program
Held Up Awaiting Sub

The important place already won by
Northern Pacific employees on the hon

made more important yesterday by a
group of ronndhouse workers. The
men brought In d long. fat subscrip-
tion list to go with the donations pre-
viously made by office employees,
brotherhOods and individual condnc-
tors.
This addition was the largest nart
of total of $40 contributed yester-
day, making the fund up to $9,627.45.
Warren Wilcox, Hans Jensen and the
Leader store were the heaviest indi-
vidual contributors.
Can Build Pool This Year.
The steady climb of the fund toward
10000 makes more important than
ever Mayor Wilkinson's plea for quick
payment of pledges. II all unpaid
contributions could be converted into
cash this week while new money is
bringing the fund up to $4,000. a start
on the actual construction work could
be made within a short time. The
mayor. who is chairman of the COM

fund. Is going to call meeting of con-
tributors to decide upon plans and
construction just as soon as the money
can be collected.
Ready for 1918 Bathers.
Much of the summer remains, It is
believed that the pool. if started at
once. can be built in time for use this
year. At any rate, il the movement Is
not allowed to languish, the pool can
be built in plenty of time for use as
soon as warm weather comes next
year.
1t would be extremely unfortunate

Pay at Any Bank.
Money may be paid at any bank in
the city. Tor at each a man has been
authorized to receive swimming pool

War Summary

In his first address to the reich
stag, Imperial Chancellor Michael
declares himself in hearty accord
with the submarine campaign
which, he said, was justifi:tbly
adopted. He gave hearty praise to
his predecessor, DIR. Bethmann-
Hollweg, whose work. he believes,
history will appreciate. He de-
clared the war was forced upon
Germany by the mobilization of
the Russian army
Aided by heavy reinforcements,
the Austro- Germans have started
a big offensive against the Rus
slams in Galicia. So far there has
been no report as to the particu-
lars.
The Germans are intent on
breaking the French line between
Soissbns and Rheims, another
heavy assault having been deliv-
cred in which the attackers were
driven back with heavy casualties.
The artillery duels along the
Baltic and the Belgian front be-
tween the British and Germans
go on apace. In Thursdays fight
ing the British regained all the
ground lost on July II.

American Training Camp In France
July 19.-By the Associated Press. -
Major General William l.. Sihert went
through his entire camp today on the
first official inspection tour he has
made. From early morning until late
lin the afternoon he made the rounds
examined each Set OF quarters and in
spected virtually every man in his
command. AS the entire army is di
yided into squads the majority of
which are bileted out with the in
habitants of the district, the task of
inspection was a tremendous one and
could be accomplished only by the
amazing activity of the general, who
almost ran his staff off their legs and
set pace obviously stiff for the
youngest of the men. The result of
the inspection was apparently salts
factory in the main, for the general
criticized only seldom and every where
had a good word for the results
achieved by the troops in cleaning up
the quarters into which they have
moved.
Asks Many Questions.

ny NSSOC AICU VVSS8s
Copenhagen, July 19.-Dr. Mi
chaslis, the new imperial German
chancellor in his address to the
reichstag Thursday afternoon, de-
ciared his adhesion to the German
submarine campaign, asserting it
to be lawful measure, justifiabiy
adopted and adapted for shorten
ing the war;
Or. Michaelis opened his reich
stao speech with hearty tribute
to Or. Won esthmann .HoIIweg, the
retiring imperial chancellor. whose
work. no said. history would APP
preeiate.
The chancellor declared that the
war was forced upon unwilling
Germany by the Russian mobiliza-
tion and that the submarine war
was also forced upon Germany by
Great sritain's illegal blockade and
starvation war.
America Failed as Neutral.
The faint hope that America at the
head Of the neutrals would check Great
Britain's illegality was vain. Ger
many's final attempt to avoid the ex-
tremity by peace offer failed and the
campaign was adopted, said
the chancellor.
The submarine. the speaker contin-
ued, had done all and more than had
been expected and the false prophets
who had predicted the end of the war
at a definite time had done a dis
tinct service to the fatherland.
