Leader of Plot to Cripple h. dustry in Northwest and 26 Supporters Arrested by Mil itary Officers.
THREATENED STRIKE
 BLOCKED BY ACTION

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O.-Peace and quiet prevailed today throughout the northwest states of Washington. Oregon, IdaLo and Montana, where a strike of thousands ot Industrial Workers of the World in the construc- ton, harvesting and fruit industries was scheduled to take place under or ders of the organization leaders. A sur vey of the situation tonight showed that every line of industry to be affect ed by the proposed strike pursued its normal, orderly way and so far as could be ascertained only one attempt was made to carry into effect the strike order issued recently by James Rowan, secretary of the district at Spokane, calling on construction work CTS to lay down their tools.
 The swift and unexpected action last night of military authorities at Spokane, acting in conjunction with Washington state officials, in arrest ing Rowan and 26 other alleged mem- bers of the Industrial Workers of the World, is believed to have eXerted powerful influence in deterring the radical members Of the organization from precipitating strike, which, it is admitted, would have serious and far-reaching results. The arrests were made at the instance of Colonel Clar- ence E. Dentler, commander of the United States army in the northwest because it was considered that the proposed strike would interfere with the prosecution of the war.
 Military Prisoners
 The 27 men who were arrested by Major Clement Wilkins, in charge of the national guardsmen who raided the l. w. w. headquarters at Spokane, are held as military prisoners and will be examined within few days, and some of them, it was said, probably will be released. The examination will be con ducted by Major Wilkins and until he has completed his investigation the
 It was announced today at the head quarters of Col Dentler at Portland that 15,000 troops were available in the four northwest states for eventual ities.
 Advices from Boise, Idaho. stated that troops had been placed sin the Occur d'Alene mining district to pre- serve order.
 From Seattle reports were received that the l. w. w. construction work.

Terrific Offensive Launched Along 37-Mile Front in Southern Europe; 12,O00 Prisoners Taken.
DECISIVE BLOWS ARE
 DEALT BY THE FRENCH
New Territory Taken From Germans Embraces Posi- itons Long Strived for; Flan- ders Still Calm.
fRv Review Leased Wirel

British troops are busily engaged in the successful parrying of Germar counter-thrusts against the newly-won ground in Flanders, the French and the Italians have started monster ol- fensives-the French against the Ger mans near Verdun and the Italians against the Austrians from the region of Playa to near the headwaters of the Adriatic sea.
 Sharp. decisive blows have gained for the French positions held by the Germans on a front of more than eleven miles extending from the Avo- court Wood eastward across the River Mouse and into the Bois de Chaume. while the Italians, after lombard ment of an intensity never before ex- perienced in that theatre, have level- led Austrian defenses, crossed the ruins and also the Isonzo river and now are at deadly grips with the en- emy along a front of about 37 miles.
 12,coO Prisoners Counted.
 Nearly 12,000 prisoners already have been counted by the French and ltal- ians end doubtless this number will be materially augmented when full de- tails of the fighting are at hand. In addition the Germans and Austrians list heavily in men killed or wounded and in guns and machine-gunS cap- tured.
 The new territory taken by the French embraces positions that have literally welted in fire and battles that have waged to and fro since the Ger man crown prince started his most costly enterprises, the attempt to take Verdun, which resulted in utter fail ure as a military maneuver, and cost the lives of tens of thousands of his men. Notable among the captured DO sitions are the Avocourt Wood, two summits of Le Mort Homme, the Cor BeauX Wood and that Champneuville, all of which were held nothwithstand- ing vicious counter attacks by the Ger lidIS, WHICH hSit DiOhCh oS Nh~ French fire with heavy casualties to the enemy.

Pershing Is Pleased.

Addressing the officer of this divis- ion, General Petain said they had ren- dered a notable service both to France and to America and that their battal- ions had become sister battalions to the American contingent. The Ameri- cans, he added, had expressed the nope that some day they would have the privelege of fighting alongside their French instructors. and of prov ing what apt pupils they can be.
 Major General Pershing also was much pleased with his inspection of the American troops. He noted mater ial Improvements everywhere and said:
 "I am extremely well satisfied with what I have seen today. A thing which particularly strikes one about he Americans is the finest spirit which prevails both among officers and men. Training is progressing rapidly and satisfactorily in every resepct." :"

General Petains made a close inspec- ton of several American battalions and seemed particularly interested in the various items of their equipment He stopped in front of several soldiers and examined their kits in detail.

Review Is Spectacular.

The review of the Chasseur division was most spectacular. General Per shing greatly admired the dash with which it was carried out. The infan- trymen made a splendid showing but the picturesque feature was the rush. ing by one of the divisional artillery with horses at a fast trot. followed at some distance by several troops of cavalary at full gallop. Later three of the Chasserr bands played the Marseilles and the Star Spangled Ban ner
 Prior to the review. General Petain bestowed numerous decorations on the Chasseurs and also mingled with the French peasants who had gathered on the review grounds. Patting one small boy on the head, General Petain ask ed to what military class he belonged.

Yale Children Share Christmas.

A short time ago we received the
following appeal from the chairman of
"The War Children's Relief Fund
"School children all over the country
are volunteering to share their Christ
mas with their little friends, the child
rem of the Allies.
"The little ones Over There are very
close to our hearts. We are sending
our sons and brothers to fight for them
that in the future they may grow up in
the happy peace and security which
our dear children enjoy.
"Since the war began we have sent
many thousands of Little Stockings

"This year we know how wistfully
our little friends look to our children
for Christmas happiness.
ALREADY we know that happy
Christmas is assured to many, but we
want to make $4,000 children happy
Over There at Christmas. 1t will re-
quire about dollar for each child.
"Will you permit your pupils to have
the privilege of sharing their Christ
mas happiness with their desolate little
friends?"
We laid this matter before our teach
ers and children, and almost without
exception they were anxious to share
their Christmas money and Christmas
Joy with the children across the sea,
who otherwise would entirely miss a
visit from Santa Claus this year.
Pennies, nickles. dimes, quarters, and
even some dollars came pouring in,
and we know our children felt the
divine Joy Of giving-a Joy that older
people have found has something finer
and fuller than that that comes from
receiving.
The amounts turned in were:-Kin-
dergarten, $2.97; lst grade, $2.37; End
grade, $3.62; 3rd grade, $2.10; 4th grade,
$2.51; 9Th grade, $3.4s; 9Th grade, $500;
7th and 9Th grades, Sl2 30; High school,
$1,000. 1t should be remembered that
some of the grades are much larger
than others, as the varying amounts
are noted. They all did splendidly,
and l wish to publicly express my ap'
probation of what they did and to
wish them more than the usual amount
of Christmas JOY to which they are en-
titled, as the real Christ spirit must
have moved them to divide their
Christmas with the children of the de-
vastated lands beyond the sea.

Plans "for keeping the back lines
up" during the war were adopted at
the semi-annual meeting of the Mich
igan State Executive Committee of the

operation of the county organization
in this county and others of Michigan.
The patriotic attempts to build up
men and conserve materials for the
war were considered.
In his report to the committee, State
Secretary l.. +. Buell. said, "At this
time last year none of us realized what
a ground swell of patriotism would
come during these twelve months and
lift us so far beyond the opportunity
as we then saw it, that the present
larger opportunity is far over-shadowed
by the great responsibility now thrust
upon our Association movement, and
especially upon our Michigan State
work.
"a year ago we looked forward to
a possible extreme of our state budget
of $4,000. Today we look upon nearly
100000 raised In Michigan for Y, M.
c. A. purposes outside of the local
field"
Plans for cooperation in all war
economies were discussed and all pos
sible action was agreed to. A clean
living campaign in the state to back
up the movement to clean up the army
was planned for. "Father and Son"
banquets as means Of getting fami-
lies together in war times, were ad-
vised.
Michigan has already Overshot the
