GOVERNMENT IS
 READY FOR ANY l NOVEBYL.W.W.
Extreme Measures, Even to Dispatch of Federal Troops to Northwest, Will Be Taken If Necessary.
(By Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Govern- mental agencies were placing them selves in readiness today to meet any situation which may develop in the northwest and on the Pacific coast as Q result of the threatened strike of Industrial Workers of the World Aug ust 20 in Oregon, Washington, Mon- tana and Idaho. Extreme measures, even to the despatch of fedora troops to the affected section, will be taken if necessary.
 Troops will be sent, it is said, only in case of serious disorder which local state and federal authorities may be unable to meet adequately, or to insure the non-interruption of war industries. Officials are united, however, in the opinion that there must be no cessa- tion of activity in such industries as are regarded as essential to prosecu- ton of the war.
 Reports from the affected districts today showed little change in the sit uation and officials here, while not minimizing the extent of the threat ened disturbances. are hopeful that it will not assume such magnitude as to make extreme corrective measures necessary.

NATIONAL SECRETARY OF SOCIALISTS IS
 AGAIN ARRESTED

CHICAGO, August 17.-Adolph Germer, national secretary of the socialist party, recently arrested and later released, was re-arrested today on a charge of having violat- ed the espionage law by making a a public speech against conscrip- tion.
 His re-arrest is said to be the re- suit of a consideration of the case by President Wilson and Attorney General Gregory. The address complained of a speech delivered by Germer. The case was set for hearing before Federal Judge Car penter, next Wednesday.
 The complaint against Germer charges that he "unlawfully and feloniously did make and convey false reports and statements tend ing to promote insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny. and refusal of duty in the United States army"
 q made no statements that could justly be construed as promoting disloyalty or insubordination," said Germer. What I said was in pur- suance of my legal rights, but l was misquoted to give the impress sion that I was disloyal.
 He was born in East Prussia, but that his sympathies had been with Russia rather than Germany.

Plan to Ruin Crops

BOISE. Idaho. Aug. 1.-The indus trial Workers of the World are pre- pairing to use phosphorus with which to burn grain fields and grain held in storage throughout Idaho. Oregon and Washington. according to information sent to sheriffs of Idaho tonight by Harvey Alfred, director of the state farm markets bureau.
 Alfred asserts the phosphorus is be- ing shipped into Idaho in cake form. It is. he said, being distributed by In- dustrial Workers of the World to be placed in fields of ripening grain and about buildings where cereals are stor- ed. Phosphorus. when placed in Wa ter, becomes combustible after the moisture has evaporated.

EXEMPTION APPEAL BOARDS ARE URGED
 TO SPEED UP WORK
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Prompt action by exemption appeal boards was urged today by Provost Marshal Gen. eral Clowder in a telegram to the governors declaring delays would mean that men with exemption claims undecided would escape the Septemb- CT call to the colors at the expense of others who have waived exemption. Every district must furnish 30 per cent of its quota on the first call and unless the calls of all belonging in this contingent have been decided. men further down the line making no claims will have to be moved up into the vacancies. The government de- sires that every man go as far as pos sible in his proper order.
 In replying today to letter from Senator Weeks, urging that aliens be drafted for military service, President Wilson said the matter of diplomatic action to clear the way for such step lis already interesting the department of state and I have no doubt that 1t shall be accomplished"

GERMANS FAIL TO RECAPTURE
 LOST GROUND
French Make Further Ad- vances of Northern Wing of Ypres Front - Canadians Continue Drive on Lens.
(By Review Leased wire)

Their counter attacks having failed with severe losses, the Germans in the Ypres area of the western front have not resumed attempts to recapture the ground lost to the Anglo-French troops on Thursday.
 On the northern wing of the Ypres front the French, after repulsing heavy German counter attacks on Fri day made further gains near the Steenbeke river. Elsewhere on the front the latest reports from Field Marshal Haig says there has been made no change. In addition to their capture of German positions and 1900 prisoners the allied forces captured 2s guns from the Teutons.
 German Report Denied
 While admitting an allied gain along the Yser canal and near Bixschoote, where the French advanced, Berlin claims officially that most of the Brit ish attacks were repulsed and that Langemarck is still in German hands. This claim of the German general stan is officially denied in London, which says the British hold not only Lange- marck. but also ground beyond the will lage. London also officially denied that the fighting front was 20 miles long as Berlin declares. Field Mar shal Haig on Thursday reported the fighting front in the Ypres area as be- ing nine miles in length. The German general staff reports Thursdays fight ing was full victory" for the leu tons. although admitting small de- feats.
 Between Loos and Lens the Cana dians are plugging away toward the capture of the last named town. They have consolidated and made sure of their recent gains and have made fus- ther progress west of Lens The num- Der of prisoners taken here by the Canadians now totals 1120.
 Advance Is Checked
 The crown prince is not sure that the French positions along the Aisne front are invulnerable and his latest attacks here have failed as did all his previous ones. One German effort was on a front of more than a mile in the region of the California Plateau. It was stopped by the French artillery The French also checked a German attack east of Cerny. The crown prince took the initiative on the right bank of ttp Mouse but his attacks were broken up with losses.
 The Austro-German offensive in southwestern Goldavia apparently is slowing down berore the stubborn re- sistance of the Russians and Ruman- ians. The latter are still fighting des- perately in the area of Fokshani and the Sereth river and Field Marshal von Mackensen has made no further appreciable advances. Petrograd re ports the repulse of several attacks in this area.

SENATE CLEARS WAY FOR FINAL BATTLE
 ON WAR TAX BILL
(By hevIew Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Disposi- tion by the senate today of many un- contested provisions of the S2,OO6, ,0O0,- 900 war tax bill almost cleared the way for the sharp fight which probably will begin Monday over income and war profits taxes.
 Among important features disposed of during the day were the wine and motor vehicle schedules. The revis- ions of the finance committee levying between $40 900 and S50,000, ,000 on owners of motor vehicles instead of S6S.000,000 on manufacturers as pro- posed by the house bill, were adopted as were the increased rates on wines, estimated to raise 21,O00.00O against S6,O00,000 under the house rates.
 House provisions leyying per cent tax upon gross sales of many manufacturers and designed to raise $11S,575, 900, also were eliminated, the new automobile and other reduced excise taxes being substituted. The senate also accepted the finance com mittee's action in striking out the house provision for additional fed eral taxation of inheritances, design ed to raise s6,000.000.
 An amendment to the automobile section suggested by Senator Knox and adopted, imposes a surtax of S10 for each $500 on cars costing more than 5000.
 The tax based upon original list price would be reduced by 10 per cent for each years use of the machine up to a gross allowance of 50 per cent.

3S,000 MORE
 MEN TO SOON
 GO TO FRANCE
Second Contingent of Troops Will Be Made Up of Forty Second and Twenty-Sixth Divisions of Guards.
(By Review Leased wire).

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Two army divisions instead of one, comprising a detail of at least 3S.00O men. probably will make up the first contingent of the national guard to go to France.
 Although no official confirmation was obtained there were evidences today that the composite forty-second divi- sion, whose organization recently was announced, will be accompanied aboard by the twenty-sixth, made up of New England guardsmen. No New England states are among the twenty-six hav- ing representation in the composite division.
 The commander of the twenty-sixth Is Major General Clarence Edwards, now acting as commander of the de- partment of the northeast, and it is presumed he would go to Europe with the division The forty-second is com manded by Major General w. A. Mann.
 Mobilization Started
 A report was current today that suf- ficient shipping will be available for forwarding two divisions within the time fixed for the departure of the for ty-second and that the twenty-sixth had been selected to go because it comes from a compact area, and it is composed, for the most part, of regi- ments of high rating.
 The forty-second division is being mobilized at Mineola, L. l.. under the new European standard, which re- Quires that the strength of the indus trial Infantry regiments be increased more than 50 per cent. The process necessitates the addition of some units not included in the original order, for which one company of infantry, for in- stance, was to have come from any state, two companies have been con soiidated to give the 250 men neces- sary! Thus hundreds of men have been transferred to fill up the regi- ments selected to go. All other na- tional guard divisions will go through similar process on their arrival at their divisional camp.
 Final Allotment
 NO Has DCCh SANCh do tO thN probable time it will require to pro pose the forty-second for authorization. As it is a wholly new organization, 1t is logical to assume that it will take some time to get into working shape. The question of equipment also enters into the fixing of sailing date. The same considerations apply also to the twenty-sixth.
 The original plan for a composite national guard expeditionary force is >nown to have provided for two divi- sions made up on the composite plan. Approximately 40 states would have contributed guardsmen to form the forty-second and twenty-siXth and sup plemental divisional or army troops might have made up an expedition that represented every state.
 The wa; department announced to- day the final allotment of state troops among the national army environments and made public the list of colonels assigned to regimental commands in the various divisions both of the ma tional army and the national guard.
