IT'S UP TO AMERICA
General Maurice Says Russia Can Be Counted On No Longer and We Must Jump Into Gap.

London, Aug. 2.-'Looking from the broadest aspect at the events of the past fortnight in Russia" said Major General Frederick B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the war office in his weekly talk to- day to the Associated Press. Tt will necessarily mean a prolongation of the war. We cannot longer count on any great material assistance from Russia. This means a greater burden on the other Allies, and for the Unit ed States it means that she must come into the field as soon as possible, and with the greatest possible forces"
 General Maurice continued: This week the battle in Flanders was en- tire success. General Sir Douglas Haig fixed a definite line of objectives, and, speaking generally, he attained it successfully. On the southern end of the front he attacked and gained his objective easily. On the northern part the enemy's resistance broke down so completely that Gen. Haig felt jutisfied in permitting his troops to go. well beyond the objective In the central third we fell a little short of the objective owing to stubborn enemy resistance"

Charters Will Be Requisitioned by Government for War Purposes JOINT CONTROL OF SEAS
United States and England to Share in Almost Exclusive Use of Cargo Carriers in Transatlantic Trade Aim to Get More Ships.

Washington, Aug. 2-Plans for talk ing over for operation all American ocean going merchant ships soon will be announced by the shipping board. Charters will be requisitioned under a recent act of congress authorizing g the president to commander tonnage for government uses.
 The program is preliminary to put ting into operation an agreement be tween the American and British gov ernments for joint control of the worlds shipping. It will give the shipping board control of ocean freight rates charged by American ships and rate basis being worked out will be used for building an in- ternational rate schedule.
 The chief aim in communicating charters is to get more ships in trans atlantic service. Many American coastwise vessels and ships now en- gagged in the Pacific and South Amer ican trade will be diverted to trans atlantic runs. Their places will be taken to a large extent by neutral ships and by Japanese tonnage.
 The plan is to commander char ters, and, wherever advisable. let the ship itself be operated by it's owner under a government charter. In this way the government will direct oper- ations and specify services in which ships shall ply and at the same time avoid expenditure of the vast sum ot money that would be required if the hulls themselves were taken over.
 Wherever operators fail to carry out the shipping boards regulations charters will be taken from them and given to others

WIVES WHILE YOU WATT
Brokers Reported Supplying Brides
 for Those Who Seek Exemption

for Those Who Seek Exemption
 from Army Because of Dependents.
 New York, Aug. 2.-Agents of the department of justice, it was said to- day, were conducting an investigation here to learn if marriage brokers have been supplying women as wives for men seeking exemption from service with the national army. The investi- gation is said to be the result of two days work by members of the depart ment after they discovered that many of the men applying for marriage H. censes knew little or nothing about the women they were seeking to marry be- yond the facts necessary to obtain a license.
 As a result of the action taken by the federal authorities there was ex- pected to ba further falling off today in the number of applications for licenses. U. s. Marshal Mccarthy said his deputies would be present again today and that all applicants for li- censes who could not show registra- tion cards would be turned away Only 145 were.issued yesterday which was about normal.

Artillery Continues Attack

British Front in France and Bel gium, Aug. 2.-"The situation is un- changed" This sums up the days news from the wide zone along which the British and French yesterday .hurled Prince Ruphrecht's forces back to the defenses at a depth vary ing between one and three miles. Ar tillery activities continue with great intensity, the British pouring a steady stream of high explosive shells into positions which the Germans now hold, but there was comparatively little infantry fighting.
 < The allies today were busy consoh- dating the positions they captured yesterday. Heavy German counter at- tacks had been looked for but out side of few local attempts to re- gain positions these did not material ize. This was perhaps due partly to the heavy rain which has continued without cessation since last night filling shell holes with water and Turning the ground into a deep mud over which it is difficult to fight.
 The German guns, however, many of which had been withdrawn to posi- tions further back before the rain began, have been carrying on a steady bombardment especially against the territory captured by the allies on the northern side of Ypres salient but their firing has been more or less 'erratic because of the storm which blocked the work of the observation officers. As usual, the Germans are employing great quantities of gas shells.
 Due to the complete preparation for yesterdays assault the British casualties have not been excessive but the condition of the battlefield and aatements by prisoners indicate that the German losses were exceedingly heavy. The British armies have again evinced a most complete organization.
 Prussians, Bavarians and Saxons, all have given of their number to swell the total captured and no more dejected appearing have been seen in British prisons since the beginning of the war. Most of these prisoners are a miserable, sorry-looking lot, many of them suffering from internal com plaints caused by exposure and the majority from hunger. Few of them have any hopes of Germany winning the war, and one officer ventured the opinion that the time of the father land' downfall was near. He based his opinion largely on the scarcity of men and certainly boyish faces now In prison cages appear to be indica- tive of a lack of human material

PERSHING INSECTS
 CAMPS FOR 'SAMMIES'
Talks to Men and Learns of Conditions at First
 Hand.

American Training Camp, in France Aug. 1.-General Persh1ng gave the American expeditionary force an ex- ample of the strenuous life by sweep ing through nearly a dozen villages where United States soldiers are 1iv- ing in France and visiting nearly all training centers which have been es- tablished for Americas first great contribution for the war for democ- racy.
 It was not a cursory inspection that the general made. He went into de- tails all along the line, questioned private soldiers, company cooks and various other ranks as to how things were going with them and what If anything, could be done to improve the situation.
 General Pershing was expected Monday but delayed leaving Paris until late Tuesday. He spent the night at quaint little French village and removed to the American army areat early today. His visit was en- tirely informal and he found the forces just as he desired-engaged in their daily routine work and drill.
 The general also is inspecting vari- ous places suggested for his field headquarters for he expects to leave Paris to live near the troops in train- ing He will return to Paris late to-, morrow.
 At the end of the first days inspec- ton General Pershing said:
 "Our principal concern just now Is to perfect the army organization. This is a big task, but it is moving along smoothly and in a. most satisfa ctorv manner.
 '"The work at certain ports of dis embarkation is we'll started, Railroad material IS coming over as rapidly as can be arranged. The progress we have made thus far with the as- sistance of the French is a, scource- of great satisfaction to me. Billets and training ground for men are as well located as could be expected at this time of the year, when space is limited by crops in the fields.
 After these are removed we will have plenty of space for lodging and training the divisions that are to come. Some of the places where men are now sleeping are not all that could be desired, but this soon will be remedied by the construction of portable barracks. Training Is pro- gressing very we'll with the assistance of the French"
 General Pershing was untiring in hs inspection of the training area He inquired into every phase of the mems daily life, the character and the the quantity of their food, even to the farmers who were delighted to have this matter.

 At a moment when new and grave
 misfortunes are threatening Russia,
 we consider it our duty to give to our Allies who have shared with us the
 burden of trials in the past firm and definite explanation of our point of view regarding the conduct of the war. The greatness of the task of the Russian revolution corresponds to the magnitude which it caused in the life of the state. Reorganization in the face of the enemy of the entire governmental system could not be eff fected without serious disorders Nevertheless Russia, convinced there is no other means of safety, has con- cluded in accord with the Allies, com mon action on the front. ...-
 Fully conscious of the difficulties of the task, Russia has taken up the burden of conducting active military operations during reconst1tution of the army and the government. The of fensive of our armies. which was necessitated by strategical situation, encountered insurmountable obstacles on both fronts and in the interior of the country The criminal propagan- da of irresponsible elements was used
 by enemy agents and provoked re-

 storing the cumulative strength of the armies.
 "rhe government intends bringing to a successful end of establishing r. an administration capable of meeting all dangers and guiding the country ] in the path of revolutionary regenera- l ton, Russia will not suffer herself 1 to be deterred by any difficulty in carving out the irrevocable decision | to continue the war to a final triumph | of the principle proclaimed by the | Russian revolution. -&
