KEEPING UP SPIRITS
 OF GERMAN PEOPLE
Associated Press)

BERLIN. Aug. 14-Special dis patches from the front in the Berlin newspapers agree in describing the battle in Flanders as a struggle for the submarine bases in Belgium, as well as in characterizing it as the most stupendous combat of the war.
 The great, brutal force of the init, ial blow has been parried," writes The Tageblatts correspondent regarding the Flanders battle The handspring which impelled the German fighting man on was the strong realization that he was here called upon to de- fend German U-boats-to serve the mightiest, most promising weapon Of his country and bar the path to it with his life. The German troops counter attacked in frightful bayonet and hand grenade attacks. It was the might, lest impact which the world has ever seen.
 "Nightfall witnessed the happy Ger. man achievement. The foe had won German trenches. had gained control of Bixschoote and had carried of prisoners. but he lay bleeding at the foot of the wall he desired to scale

MONTREAL, Aug. 14.-Sir Lomer Gouin. Premier of Quebec, has maoe the following declaration regarding the political situation
 "The attitude of the province of Quebec is sincere. To us, it appears a government elected six years ago on ia program containing not one word pertaining to military matters is not a government which should impose conscription in Canada today.
 Let us have elections, and if the majority of the Canadian people de clare in favor of conscription, am convinced that our province, like the others, will submit to the peoples will
 Sir Lomer added that he believed that Canadians were right in counting upon Sir Wilfrid to guide them in the solution of the present grave problems Personally, he said, he approved of the attitude taken by Sir Wilfrid Lau. rier since the beginning of the ses. sion, and he believes that future his. tory-more fair than contemporane. ous viewpoint-will say that Sir VII. frid Laurier has acted in the best in. terests of his country

REGISTRATION MEN WHO FAIL TO ANSWER
 CALL SUBJECT TO DISSIPATION PENALTIES

matically, also, they are inducted into the military service and made subject to military law. Failure to appear merely hastens this automatic process.
 When the time allowed for making these claims has elapsed, there per sons will be enrolled as in the military service They will then be ordered to appear as soldiers. From this point on they will be under the swift and summary procedure Or court-martial. Failure to report for military duty when ordered to do so constitutes de- sertion Desertion in time of war is a capital offense.
 Apprehension of Deserters.
 Deserters may be apprehended by either civil or military authority, and after the mandate of the Federal Gov ernment has gone forth the whole strength of the military arm of the Government is available to apprehend deserters if it is necessary to use such force.
 Demonstrations against local boards are simply futile strokes in the air. All the records necessary to hold such persons are already on file at State headquarters and at the National Cap ital, and since local boards have no occasion to use any force in simply of fering beneficial opportunity to reg istered persons, there is no field for resistance. If resistance is attempt ed later, when the Army seeks to ap- prehend deserters, it will instantly encounter troops of the Federal Gov ernment.

The Provost Marshal General has is sued the following statement:
 Press reports and other advices re- ceived indicate that in one or two widely separated districts individuals misinformed as to the purpose of the law and misguided as to it's result, are threatening forcible resistance to the draft.
 There is nothing to resist at this stage in thc execution of the law. All male pc. IS between the ages Of 21 and 30, ir Isive, have been enroll ed for military service. A prelimin- ary call has gone forth to some such persons, but the immediate and actual object of this call is merely to pro- vide an opportunity for such persons or for some one else in respect of them, to present to the Government reasons why they should not be finally ordered to report for military duty. If such persons do not appear and pre- sent these reasons, they have simply neglected to take advantage of an op- portunity that was offered solely for their benefit
 Subject to Military Law. The failure of persons to take ad- vantage of this opportunity does not interfere with the raising of the army and interests the Government only as punishable crime of omission. If they do not desire to make such claims or if for any other reason they fail to appear, their names are automati- cally posted as having been called and not exempted or discharged. Auto

LONDON. Aug. 1.-The eorrespon- dent of the Times at the headquart- CTS of the 7th Russian army interview ed General Korniloff on the eve of his danarture to take over the supreme command The general said:
 The first stage of the war is over The second phase begins today The correspondent says the Russian commander repudiates the possibility of the Russians surrendering. He holds that if Russia concludes dishonorable peace to which traitors have been driving her she will become a German colony forever. The Germans would seize her foodstuffs enroll her men and treat her as conquered country, There could be no choice between the evil of war and the evil of surrender
 The new government must realize the necessity of inviting the allies to help in reorganizing the railway ser vice for warfare If Germany decid-
 cd as all signs indicate, to transfer the main pressure to the Russian front fl would be hopeless to rely on meth ods that availed against the inferior Austrian troops.
 Russia is full of splendid fighting men. Ten millions have already been
