British and French Gain Every Objective in Drive Launched in Early Morning -Molda- vian Advance Continues.

4 GAIN the great Anglo "A French war machine has - struck the Germans in Flanders and again it has been successful. The village of Langemarcke and other impor- tant positions were taken on Thursday and more than 800 prisoners have been counted.
 The latest blow in the Ypres area was on a front of nine miles and only on the extreme right were the allied forces un- able to make progress. The Germans resisted stubbornly. suffering heavy losses. but on the greater of the part they were forced to leave valuable positions in the possession of the allies.
 Before the fighting between Lens and Loos had died out the French and British moved forward north of the Yprez-Menin road. ThroughtuOt Thursday bitter fighting continued. On the left the French occupied the ground between the Yser canal and Martjevaart and then drove the Ger mans from the important bridgehead of Dreigrachten.
 Trench System Gained.
 Field Marshal Haig's men carried the center and right of the attacking line. In the center the British early gained their first objectives and then established themselves in Lange- marcke. Continuing their attack. they advanced a half-mile beyond the vfl- lage. gaining a trench system which was the final objective of the day.
 On the right flank the German re- sistance was more desperate. Early in the day the British drove the Teutons back. but numerous counter-attacks. in which they suffered severely, enabled the Germans to regain the lost ground
 In the Lens sector the Canadians made further progress east of Loos and north of Lens. German prisoners to the number of nearly 800 were taken in the fighting here "Wednesday and Thursday. bringing the allied total for the two days to 2.700. In Elan ders the British also captured some guns from the Germans.
 Although Berlin says the allied at tack in Flanders was forced back with heavy losses. it admits French and British gains at Dreigrachten. on the Yser canal and near Langemarcke. These are the places where London officially says the French and British advanved.
 Rumanians Driven Back.
 Except for the continued heavy ar tiller yfighting on the Aisne front and near Verdun. a gain by the French south of Allies. north of the Aisne. has been the only important infantry ac- tion south of Lens. The French cap tured German trenches on front of two-thirds of a mile. took 120 prison CTS and repulsed four German counter attacks.

"4 ASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Graye M menace to industries whose " continuation at high speed is deemed vital to the prosecution of the war is seen by officials here in the growing activities of Industrial Workers of the World leaders on the Pacific coast and in the far northwest
 The movement apparently is near ing it's maximum and the full scope of it's possibilities is not minimized here. A pretentious program calling for strikes, lockouts and general disturb ances over seven states, or about onS- fourth of the area of the country, has been brought to the attention of the department of justice by scores of ex- pert field investigators now in the af- fected territory.
 Swift and drastic action to check the movement, insofar as it would cripple industries or curtail produc- tion of commodities necessary for war, is planned by dep partment of justice officials
 To Prosecute Leaders
 Prosecution of strike leaders, justi- fled, in the opinion of the department, on charges of conspiracy or under the espionage act, is contemplated in spe- cific cases, but no general prosecution of I. w. w. leaders is expected.
 The entire movement, eliminating yesterday in the declaration at Spo- kane of James Rowan. district secre- tary of the organization, that a general strike would be called August 20 In Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho unless certain demands were complied with, is regarded by many officials as being political and not al labor movement.
 District attorneys in the four states affected, as we'll as in California, Ari- zona and New Mexico, have been in-I structed to devote e4unceasing attention cutions promptly where justified.
 Montana Closely Watched
 Officials here are much interested in the Rowan demand for ten-hour day in the harvest fields. Any organized movement, it was said, tending to pre- vent or delay the harvesting of crops in any section would come clearly within the class of subjects with which the president has been authorized in the war resolution to deal with sum- marily.
 Another industry which has already been affected to some extent by activi- ties traceable to 1. w. w. sympathiz- CTS is spruce logging in Washington. At one stage of the labor disturbances the governments great program of aircraft construction appeared to beI menaced, but the situation in this in dustry has been restored more nearly to normal within the past few days.
 A third industry which might be se- riously affected by general l. w. w. strikes, it is said, is copper mining n Montana The government is follow ing this situation closely.

SENTIMENT IF ALLIES |S AGAINST
 PEACE PLAN
Optimistic Speech of Lloyd George Interpreted in Wash ington as Indication of En- tente's Altitude.
tBy Review Leased wlre).

WASHINGTON, Aug. l6.- w Premier Lloyd George W optimistic speech in the British parliament today was interpreted here as a prelimi- nary indication of the attitude the allied nations may be ex- pected to adopt toward any discussion of peace on a basis which would permit Germany, as a conqueror, to dictate terms.
 News of the premier's speech came while the state department was receiv- ing by cable from the British foreign cffice the text of Pope Benedict's mes sage to the leaders of all belligerent nations proposing a basis for peace negotiations and earnestly appealing for it's consideration. In entente dip lomatic quarters and among govern ment officials Mir. Lloyd-George's an nouncement of improvement in food conditions, removing the danger of England being starved into submission, his assurance that losses through sub marine attacks continued to decrease and his declaration that there would be sufficient tonnage for 1918 and 1919, were hailed joyfully as a sign of Great Britain's safe position and firm atti- tude. The pope's message was laid before President Wilson by Secretary Lansing. Important conferences which must precede a reply will begin shortly. but necessarily some time must elapse before the response goes forward.
 Lansing Silent.
 While there already have been many informal conferences among officials and diplomats regarding the pope's proposals, it may be stated on Secre- tary Lansing's authority that the sec retary so far has not discussed the subject with the president and also has refrained from communicating his views regarding the character of reply which should be made D any of the many diplomatic callers he has had since the first press notice of the dis patch of the pope's communication.
 MT. Lansing has felt that it would be improper to indicate even in a per sonal way what he thought of the communication and he has also depre- cated any attempt by the newspapers to forecast the action of the govern ment in this matter, as likely to prove very embarrassing.
 Among other officials and the diplo- mats, however. there is no such retic- ence. While battles have increased in number and waxed intensely and the slaughter has continued in the most distressful manner. it is pointed out there has been no such change in gen. eral war conditions as would warran. a different reception for the pope's proposal from any quarter in which it was not favorably received a year

SENATE SUCCEEDS
 IN PASSING MANY
 PARTS OF WAR BILL
Liquor Section of the Measure Is Passed by Upper Branch Other Sections Receive Final Action by the Same Body.
IBy Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-Many i'm portant provisions of the revised war tax bill, including the liquor section, were tentatively approved by the sen ate late today after most of the days session had been spent tin general debate.
 Most of the uncontested sections will be disposed of tomorrow The principa lcontests, over income and war profits taxes, are set for Saturday when, Senator Simmons. in charge of the bill, may seek to set a date for final vote on the measure.
 Provisions approved today virtually without debate and which will be pIoD- ably unchanged, are:
 Booze Taxed High
 Sections levying s140.000,000 addi- tional taxes on distilled and rectified spirits, and including clauses effective during the war prohibiting their i'm portation and providing a prohibitory tax of s60 per hundred pounds upon their further manufacture from food stuffs. The house bill levied S107,- 50O,000 additional taxes and prohibit ed the manufacture of distilled spirits only.
 Beer-AIso in Bill
 Increase of revenue from beer and other malt and fermented liquors of $60.000.000 as compared with s37 7,500,- 900 under the house bill.
 Virtually all of the stamp taxes pro- posed, except that of bank checks and parcel post packages, which went over
 Amusement Taxes
 The amusement tax section, estimat- ed to raise s2S,0O0.O0O. compared with s60,000, 900 proposed by the house, with the house tax on club dues elimin- ated.
 Elimination of the house general tariff levy of 10 per cent advalorem. and of the house taxes on jewelry, musical instruments and moving pic ture films.
 Amendments Accepted
 The senate also adopted committee  amendments for new tax upon cam eras to raise s50O0o for reduction of the manufacturers gross sales tax. from to 20 per cent on perfume and patent medicines. Committee changes reducing the rates on sporting goods to raise SS00,000 instead of S2,000,000 and for substitute tax on yachts and other pleasure boats, also was accept ed.
 Sugar Is Subject
 Debate today was confined largely to the sugar "drakback" and war pro fits provisions. Senator Broussard spoke at length for repeal of the draw back. declaring it benefits the refiners' trust" only, and causes higher prices for sugar to all consumers. Senator Bankhead again attacked the propos- ed war profits section as grossly un- just to small business interests.
 The only discussion of the whisky and beer provisions was by Senator Jones of Washington, a prohibition advocate, who said the increased taxes are welcomed by the liquor interests in their fight against prohibition. Tenn perance organizations of the nation, he declared, favored repeal of revenues from intoxicants.
