RUSS FORCES PREPARE FOR FIRM STAND AGAINST FOE.
Reorganized Forces of New Republic Appear To Be Making Firm Stand Against Germans On Two Points.
CBy Review Leased WireJ.

Russia, having recovered in a great measure from the effects of recent in- ternal difficulties, is preparing to make a firmer stand against the common enemy. It is announced that the lead ership of the Russian armies has been reorganized, and that the fruition of reformative plans in the armies them selves is expected shortly.
 Cabinet to MohiIev
 Premier Kerensky and the war and marine ministers in his cabinet have gone to Mohilev, Russian great head quarters, to confer with the mili ary leaders. They will also see General Korniloff and his leading aides in the recent revclt. Whether Korniloff is to suffer the supreme penalty for his act probably will depend upon the re- suit of the conferences at Mohilev.
 Northern Army Active
 The Russian northern army, which has made some progress toward dr1v- ing the Germans back to the Dvina line in the Riga region, on Sunday occupied several German positions be- tween Pskoff and Riga On Monday they captured Teuton defenses north east of Friedrichstradt, south of Riga. In it's official report Berlin makes no mention of activity in this region.
 Success in Rumana
 General Stcherbatcheff, commander on the Rumanian frcn-. has carried out successfully an offensive movement in the Suchitza valley northwest of Fox shani. A section of the fortified Aus tro-German defenses near Varnitza were occupied by the Rumanians. Ger man attacks in the Pantziu region to the southeastward were repulsed.
 Raids in West
 Raids continue on the northern end of the western front. with both the British and the Germans as the az gressors. Berlin, however. motions no infantry activity on the front of Crown Prince Ruprecht Of Bavaria.
 Artillery Active
 The artillery and aerial activity on the western front remains intense. From Nieuport to near Arras, espe- cially in the Ypres sector, the oppos- ing guns are showing increased ac- tivity.
 Failure for Germans
 In two efforts against French posi- tions on the Arras front the German crown prince again has met with tall ure. Near the Miette river on the Neufchatel road the Germans reached the French advance lines only to be thrown out again.
 Italians Hold Ground
 The Italians are still withstanding successfully Austro-Hungarian efforts on the southeastern edge of the Bain- sizza plateau, while the big guns are hurling their monster shells over the battle-torn area of the Carso plateau. France, according to her new pre- mier. Professor Painleve, will contin- ue the war until Aisace-Lorraine is restored and the Germans have made payment for the damages caused by their ruthlessness in the occupied areas of the republic. France by the end of 1917 will have expended 103,- 900. 900 OOO francs since the beginning of the war

Washington Authorities Talk ing Steps to End Big Walk Out Which Has Tied Up Building Plans of the Unit ed States.
(By Review Leased WireD

WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.-The gov ernment today undertook to settle the strike of iron workers at San Fran cisco shipbuilding plants working on government contracts without await ing a basic agreement on other strikes in Seattle shipyards. Reports to the shipping board from Captain A. F. Pillsbury, the boards agent on the Pacific coast, indicated a more favor able outlook on the situation. which is interfering with one-eighth of the governments ship construction. Chair man Hurley of the shipping board ex- poets to leave for San Francisco tv- morrow with William Blackmon, a de- partment of labor oonciliator. Before departing he will confer further with Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor and chairman of the defense counclrs ia- bor committee, to whom he appealed today for aid.
 Working at Mare Island
 Secretary Daniels announced to- night that the commandant of the Mare Island navy yard had reported work progressing efficiently thers without regard to unsettled labor con- ditions in the vicinity. The comi mandant said all employees of the navy yard were loyal.
 Boyce as Mediator
 Secretary Wilson has ordered W. T. Boyce, assistant commissioner of im- migration of San Francisco. to offer his services as mediator. Secretary Daniels has also joined in the gov ernments efforts. He conferred dur ing the day with Mir Hurley concern ing the effect of wage increases on navy contracts.
 Expect End Soon
 MT. Hurley said tonight he believed the strikes on the Pacific coast will end shortly under an agreement by which the men will be granted higher pay. the burden of which would be di- vided between the shipbuilders and the government. with the govern ment's proportion larger for builders making small profits. He will suggest such a plan at San Francisco. Seattle, Portland and other coast cities he wis its next week.
 What Officials Think
 Officials of the shipping board hold that the wage problem belongs pri- marily to the workmen and the com panies, and that the governments in- terest is only that of the owner of the ships whose construction Is held up by the disputes. Some officials think the ship companies should have made more strenuous efforts to reach agree ments with the workmen without passing the responsibility to the gov ment. Special resentment is felt over reports that a few employers told union leaders the government would not allow wage increases
