TROOPS ADVANCE
TO KALUSZ AGAIN
World Awaits With Keen
Interest Statement From
German Chancellor
FIERCE FIGHTING ON
THE FRENCH FRONT
Positions Recently Taken
by the Germans Are
Recaptured

(Associated Press War Summary
While the world today awaited
with keen interest the declaration of
the German policy which the new i'm
perial chancellor, DIR. Georg Michaelis,
is expected to deliver to the reichs-
tag. the military forces of the bel
hgerents are engaged in infantry
operations Of major importance only
along the front in eastern Galicia
where the Russian onrush apparently
is being revived. Russian troops have
again driven into the Galician viii
lage of Novica, south of Kalusz and
now occupy the eastern end of that
place.
Otherwise the French front in
northern France presents the most
notable features of interest. Few days
pass without an effort on the part of
the Germans to get back some of the
valuable territory wrenched from
them in the spring offensive or to
make local inroads elsewhere on the
French lines.
new field was chosen for an at
tempt Of this sort last night, the first
really sharp attack for some time in
the field of the great Hindenburg re-
treat of last March being delivered
The crown prince chose a front
nearly a half mile in extent where
the French occupied a hillock to the
east of Gauchy. General Petain's
forces were taken aback at first by
the intensity of the drive and yielded
some ground in the first line. They
rallied quickly, however, and drove
the Germans out Of the greater part
Of the occupied positions.
The situation in Petrograd con-
tinues troubled but the provisional
government has decided to take hold
with a firm hand and have 1t out
with the ultra extreme element which
Is keeping teh city in a turmoil.
Martial control mas peep established
and drastic measures seem to be the
order of the day.
Meanwhile the cabinet council is
considering proposal to transfer the
seat Of government to Moscow to
remove it from the scene of tur-
moil.

SHIPPING ROW
CONTINUES
Goethals and Board No
Nearer Agreement After
All Day Conference
(Bv Associated Press,


Washington, July 19.-Members of
the shipping board and Major GEN
eral Goethals, general manager of
the boards feet corporation, who
are at odds over the government s
shipbuilding program at a lengthy
conference yesterday went over the
generals proposals for constructing
government shipyards and for speed
ing up tonnage now building.
The board, 1t was announced, after
the conference made no decision re-
specting the generals plans and an
other conference will be held today,
The shipping board, Chairman Dem
man said, wants more information
before it approves the general man
ayers program, but General Goethals
said he thought he had submitted
most Of the information asked for.
Neither members of the board nor
General Goethals would say what
are the points OF difference over the
program. Chairman Denman inti-'
mated that all Sdisagreements would
be settled satisfactorily.
The shipping board, it Is under
stood. demanded of General Goeth-
ais fun information regarding his
plans for requisitioning ships build
ing and sought fuller Information
concerning his proposal 70 build two
ship yards for fabricating steel yes-
sells. At today's conference the board
is expected to try to ascertain Gem
eral Goethals attitude towards
wooden ships, particularly those Of
"a quick construction design Of which
General Goethals. has disapproved.
II is understood the board and
General Goethals are far apart only
+or tha n,,asfion of wooden construct
ton. The shipping board. 1t is said,
will insist that the type he intends
to build Il too slow OF construction.
Differences over the commandeer-
ing program are confined largely to
the price to be paid for the ships and
the amount OF money to he used in
sneedinr ND their construction. Gem
eral Goethals' plan for building the
government ship plants probably will
meet with little Opposition from the
board

There is "a probability, however,
that the troops. if they can be
promptly equipped, will see France
inside of the next two months. The
unexpected recuperation of Russia
and her successes on the eastern
front have made the allies anxious
for a decisive drive in the western
theatre, and they are urging that the
United States troops be rushed to
the war zone as rapidly as possible.
Moreover, with the Russian forces
holding down the eastern fronts and
winning gains daily. there will be no

DRAFT FOR The GREAT WAR ARMY Will BE MADE FRIDAY

The crown princes army suffered
the rudest shock wheh the French
yesterday recaptured all the posi-
| tions northwest OF Verdun. These
! cost the Germans much hard fighting
| when they took them from the
French. The affair cost the Germans
not only the loss of their former con-
quest and about 500 prisoners, but
the French crept into their lines and
repeated counter attacks by the Ger
mans failed to recover any part
thereof and resulted in more Losses.
The Germans, when they advanced at
the end of June, obtained possession
Of number of observatories giving
them splendid views of the French
lines. The Germans have been eX-
pecting for several days that the
French would try to shell them oct,
but did not expect an infantry at
tack
The French were obliged to delay
the movement owing to bad weather
but continued the heavy lombard
ment causing the Germans such
losses that they were obliged to take
the Tenth reserve division which
was holding their positions, out Of the
trenches and some of its companies
have been reduced TO so men each.
The Twenty-ninth division replaced
it supported by the Forty eighth di-
vision composed of fresh troops
brought from the Russian front.
1t was while relief was proceeding
that the French attacked. surprising
the enemy by appearing in their
trenches while the bombardment was
proceeding. Before the Germans could
recover the French were within the
third line German trenches. The
enemys disorder was so great the
French were able to gather many
prisoners and dashed even further
forward than they intended and oc-
cupied ground on a three hundred
yard front, on what had been French
positions before the German attack
in June.
The French now hold all the obser-

TIME DRAWING NEAR
FOR MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.

The time is rapidly drawing near
for the movement of the state troops
to Fort Lincoln. A telegram was re-
ceived by Captain Colley this morn
ing from the adjutant general or
dering him to report at once the
number of pairs or shoes and the
clothing wanted for the company. A
large amount of supplies for the First
regiment has been shipped to Major
Paul Tharalson of the first quarter
master corps at Bismarck. Knives,
forks, and mess kits make UP the
larger portion of the shipment. The
fact that these shipments were made
to Bismarck is regarded as an indi-
cation that the troops will mobilize
at Fort Lincoln.

The lesson will also be carried to the
young men that it will be far better
for them to serve under competent
and trained officers than with men
who have been drafted into the
United States army and have had
little experience. Most of the mem
