MICHAELIS UNDER FIRE

COPENUAGEN July %

COPENHAGEN, July %.
Chancellor Michaelis. successor to Beth
mann-Hollweg, is under fire of the German
radical press. The attacks on him are led
by Theodor Wolfe, editor of the Berlin
Tageblatt, and followed editorials in the
kreuz Zeitung and the Tagliche Rundchau,
in which these two Pan-Cierman organs
declared that the Chancellors speech in the
Reichstag was n reputation of the policy
of mo annexations." The German radical
and Socialist press now demands that

two mitarist organs.

his doubts whether the Chancellors reply
to the Reichstag resolution really means
what 1t pretends to mean. his belief that
the reference OF peace-professing statesmen
to the security Of frontiers, capable of being
extended at will to cover the absorption Of
Belgium and any other desired annexa-
tions, received unexpected justification and
corroboration from German source in the
growing frankness of criticism.
1t was declared yesterday that Chan
cellor Michaeiss speech was ambiguous
and open to two interpretations which Lloyd
George mentioned 1t was added that the
policy of silence OF political aims adopted
by former Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg and continued by Herr MiGhaeis had
laid the German policy open to that dubious
repute which Lloyd George criticized

KERENSKY MUST ACT
, QUICKLY TO VERT
GREAT ARMY DEBACLE

LONDON, july 20.
Premier Kerensky must move fast in his
campaign of merciess determination of dis
cordant elements in the army or the cave
in of the Russian line in the Tarnopol-
Stanislau sector may be enlarged by the
enemy as to cut off Russa's forces to the
south in the Carpathians.
Petrograd dispatches today gave a ray
of hope that Kerensky would yet succeed
in reforming the demoralized regiments
One encouraging factor was the evidently
loyalty of Russians on the Carpathian,
Rumanian and Wilma Dvinsk battle lines
Kerensky's "Bismarckian policy" of re-
storing discipline and order, has found it's
first expression in the passage of death
sentences upon number of mutinous
soldiers and npro-German anarchists, said
a dispatch from Petrograd today.
Orders have been issued to all Russian
army officers to deal with mutinous soldiers
in the sternest possible manner, as Kerensky
is convinced that drastic measures are
necessary to stop the defections on the
front.
Proclamations have been posted in
Petrograd, Moscow and other important
cities as we'll on the firing line announc-
ing the new attitude of the Government to-
ward offenders.
EVERY person guilty of attempting to
thwart the efforts of the Government to
restore order and discipline will be adjudged
guilty of treason and dealt with accord
ingly," said the notice.
Germany evidently planned her intrigue
to center around Tarnopol, hoping for
complete breakdown there and penetration
of the Russian lines for f1anking move
ments in both directions.
Front advices today indicated that the
Russian armies are retreating along
front of nearly $50 miles from the upper
Sereth River to the wooded Carpathians-
in some places in utter route, in others by
orderly retreat.

was officially admitted by Petrograd, A

ZINC IN JAPAN.
Hefineries Now Almost Meet the Do
nnestie Demands.

The zinc refining industry of Japan
is of recent origin. Up to 1910 all the
zinc required was imported. The zinc
refinery as an industrial enterprise In
Japan owes it's origin TO tho founding
of the Sltsui Zinc refinery at Mike,
Kyushu, in March, 1910 In the same
year the Osaka Zinc refining company
in osaka and the Nippon Zinc Electric
Refining company in isojima, Niigata,
Prefecture were started. Since the
outbreak of the European war, with
the stoppage of the usual foreign
sources of supply, the output of the
three companies mentioned has In
creased to a total of 10000 tons, or
two thirds of Japan's requirements
About 10000 tons are being imported
at present. 1t is said that there are
rich veins of zinc ore in all parts of
Japan. Up to 1910, ore containing less
than 40 per cent of zinc was thrown
away and only the finer grades con-
tanning more than 40 per cent were
exported.
