Viscout Reading In This
Country to Align all of the
Allied Nations in a Great
Economic Drive.
(By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Ameri-
can and British officials are working
on a program providing for closer eco
nomic cooperation with a view 10
uniting for war purposes the entire
resources of this. country and Great
Britain and her possessions.
AS confidential agent of the British
government, Viscount Reading. lorG
chief justice of England, is handling
negotiations here. While tremendous
in its scope, Lord Readings mission
here is only a part of the comprehen-
sive structure of unity of resources
which Great Britain is building. The
resources of all her nominations and
of all the allies to be formed. so far
as possible. in a compact whole, from
which all the allies may draw.
One purpose of Lord Readings mis-
sion is to ascertain what supplies this
country may furnish the allies.
Indications are the allies will re-
quest a volume of materials bounded
only by Americas ability to produce
and the transatlantic transportation
facilities.
A detail of the program under con-
sideration is the manufacture on a
huge scale of munitions here for the
allies.
The munitions requirements. how
ever. form but a small part of the to-
tai. Coal. copper. iron and steel. food
stuffs and clothing are needed in tre-
mendous volume.

Admiral Benson Reports that
Loss to Vessels is Less than
One-half of One Per Cent
At Present.
;By Review Leased Wlre.l

WASHINGTON, Sept 22.@Unlesd
some new outbreak of submarine ac-
tivity developes, many officials are
satisfied the situation is fairly well
under control Encouraging results
have been obtained conveying of
fleets of merchant craft, the loss hav-
ing been reduced to less than One7half
of one per cent The employment of
smoke screens, kite balloons and 9th
er detection devices also has shown
good results and progress is being
made with the reduction of smoke
from merchant men by painting ships
to make them almost invisible at a
tance through a periscope.
More Publicity.
In discussing submarines today, Ad-
miral Benson, acting secretary in the
absence of Secretary Daniels, indicat-
ed the departments intention to make
known more of it's accomplishments
hereafter than in the past.
Admiral Benson said the depart
ment had been unable to find any sup
port for reports that German subma-
rines either had begun operations off
the American coast or were preparing
to do so. The department, however,
is ready for any emergency.
The "Smoke Pot"
The Smoke pot" a device to throw
a screen over a vessel when a subma-
rine appears, has been highly success
full in some cases.
Experimenting continues with many
other devices. Thomas A. Edison is
still at work on investigation to which
he devoted himself at the outbreak of
the war.

TO END WARS
Gasparri, Papal Secretary of
State, Says Presidents Sug-
gestion Is Dream. Would
Abolish Conscription.
(By Review Leased Wire)

ROME, Sept. 22.-The reply of the
entente allies to the peace note of
Pope Benedict now is being awaited
by the Vatican, after which the pope
will again address a note to all the
belligerents. The 2ontiff will point
out that the questions on which all
agree really represent the beginning
of a new order of things in the world
and a new era OF peace for humanity.
The secondary problems, he will say,
can be adjusted easily ahd better
through good will and friendly dis
cussion than by force of arms.
Gasparri Indicates Views.
Ii is understood the next papal note
virtually will embody the views ex-
pressed by Cardinal Gasparri, Nthe
papal secretary of states, TO the As
sociated Press today in commenting
upon the situation after the publica-
tion of the reply of the central empires
to the pope's note.
Wilson's Proposal a Dream.
President Wilson's proposal to re-
duce ornaments and impose interna-
tional arbitration by force through
society of nations is dream said
Cardinal Gasparri. AN international
army to force the verdicts of the court
of arbitration? In which country
would it be located without being in
fluenced by local politics and preju-
dices? The moon is the only place
possible.
Suppress CONSUMPTION.
"All the other inconvenieces and OBJ
jections could be avoided by suppress
ing conscription with the provision
that it could not be re-established
without a law approved by the peo-
pie, which in normal conditions would
be imprbable, indeed morally impossi-
BILE. To this some would object that
certain governments first would de-
clare and then present bill to parlia-,
ment for the adoption of conscription
and the formation of large standing
army, which parliament undoubtedly
would pass from patriotic motives. All
this would be pissible, but it would
be difficult as such government first
would have to violate treaty signed

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - There

by fresh appeal fro mPcpe Benedict.
This wa sclearly indicated both at

Germany and Austria TO the papal ap-
peal. There was nothing unexpected
in either response, although the Aus
trian note aroused some interest be-
cause of its apparent sincerity.

Officials believe that, heartened by
the replies of the central powers, the
pope will make a fresh attempt to

GERMANS SMASH
NORTH RUSSIAN
LINE TO PIECES
Russians Are Forced to Retire
To the Eastern Bank of the
Dvina. Operation Will
Mean Little for Invader.
CBy Review Leased Wire }

In the midst of Russia's internal
troubles has come another German
stroke on the Russian northern front,
resulting in the capture of the bridge
head and town of Jocobstadt, on the
Own and the enforced retirement of
the Russians to the eastern bank of
the liver.
Gain Much Area.
The Germans gained possession OF
new territory on a front of approxi-
mately 25 miles and six miles in depth,
enabling them to nsh their lines to
the west bank of the Dvina in this
area. They took only 400 prisoners,
but gathered in so guns from the
abandoned positions.
Dramatic as this suddenly developed
operation was, it seems unlikely to de-
velop anything comparing in import
ance in its effect upon the general
military situation with the desperate
battle on the Flanders front.
Germans Hard Hit.
Loath to give up the valuable ridges
the British wrested from the mThurs-
day, the Germans continue desperate
This fighting has
been very disastrous to the Germans.
The German command seems parti-
cularly reluctant to surrender the
slight elevation west of Gheluvelt,
close to the Ypres- Menin road. Fierce
fighting developed there Saturday. the
engagement centering about the posi-
ton known as Tower Hamlet.
Struggle Continues.
Press dispatches indicated that up
to mid-afternoon there had been no
cessation of the struggle, the tide of
battle flowing back and forth within
a narrow area.
Berlin's Modest Claims.
Berlin's official statement makes
no claim of any ground recovered
from the British. 1t records the fight
ing of Friday, the day following the
initial British dash, as marked by con-
tinuation of British attacks along the
Langemarck- Hollebeke front, which
were repulsed, describes Saturdays
engagements as fighting of a local
character which resulte din German
successes.
Ostend Attacked.
Meanwhile. as complement to the
land fighting in Belgium the warships
of the Belgian coast petrol have bonn
barded Ostend where German naval
works were shelled with results pro-
nounced satisfactory. British avia-
tors continued their extensive bomb
ing operations behind the German
lines, Ostend being one of the points
successfully attacked by the aviators
as well as the fleet.

BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 22.-The Ar
gentine government has sent an ulti-
matum to Germany.
In its note the government demands
for a formal statement from the Ger
man government of its attitude to-
ward the behaviour of its minister,
Count Won Luxburg and a repetition
of the promises made respecting Ar
gentine shipping, in connection with
the Toro settlement.
No Message Received.
The Argentina government has re-

Foreign Minister Speaks.
The Argentina foreign minister
made a statement in the chamber of
deputies tonight regarding the situa-
ton and it was said the radicals had
prepared a resolution which they in
tended to introduce, declaring a state
of war already exists with Germany.
Waits On Berlin.
The government is awaiting anx-
iously Berlin's response before decid-
ing on a rupture of relations or a
declaration of war, and according to
the foreign office, if the German gov
ernment shows appreciation of Count
Won Luxburg's action Argentina will
consider it an insult and declare war
Immediately. If no confirmation of
this report is forthcoming, only a rup-
ture of relations is likely.
Would Shake Cabinet.
A declaration of war would result
in a shakeup in the cabinet, several
of the ministers maintaining no cause
for war exists, although a majority of
the ministers and the public generally
are willing to follow the government
even into war A great mass meeting
was held today adnt here was unan-
imous call for an immediate break
with Germany.
The foreign minister told the depu-
ties the Argentina government was
translating 400 kilograms sent by the
Sweden legation, many of which were
transmitted for the German legation

Nine Operator
Explains Wages
Under NeUPrice

THE understanding as 70 wages
reached between the government
and copper producers is that the
rate of wages paid for the month
of August will be maintained while
the price OF copper is fixed at 2315
cents. In cases where sliding
scale contracts are in force, the
sliding scale will not be carried
down when the wages under it
would be fixed at below the Au-
gust rate In all cases where ad-
vance in wages over the August
rate have been since granted, such
increase mus be maintained. -
Walter Douglas.
Bisbee daily review., 1917-09-23

Much comment has been heard on
the streets of the Warren district re-
garding the effect the fixing of price
for copper would havet on wages here
and elsewhere This, in spite of the
fact that the dispatches carried the
information that the producers had
agreed to maintain the wage scale in
effect at the time of fixing of the price
for the metal.
In the Warren district, where wages
are the highest of any copper camp in
the world, the miner for the next four
months will be assured of a wage of
s5.35; muckers and carmen will re-
ceive, under the same arrangement,
s5.10 a day.
AS Mr.. Douglas inferred in the
quoted statehent, the producers of cop
per metal in the United States, in or
der to do their share for the govern
ment and for the cause, held wages
at a point higher than their contracts,
based on the sliding scale of copper,
really called for.

flagship, leading the first group of

two submarines were indicated to be
engaged. The admiral stated the be-
lief that the U-boats had knowledge
of the coming of the troop ships and
were on watch for them. The second
group of transports also was attack
cd by two submarines, one of which
apparently was sent to the bottom by
a bomb dropped from an American
destroyer. There is disagreement
among officers of the third group as
to whether they were attacked, but
much evidence is presented TO indi-
cate that they also were assailed
Secretary Daniels made the report
public, with certain military informa-
