RE.INF0l ELEMENTS
French Hold Ground Taken
On Verdun Front in Face Of
Assaults Of Crown Prince
Aeria! and Artillery Battles
in Belgium.
tBy the Associated Press,

General Korniloff's armies in
eastern Galicia have been held for a
time by the hurrying of a heavy con-
tingent of German reserves to the
front, stiffening up the Austrian de-
fenses along the river Lonnica.
The heavy; fighting is continuing
in the region of Novica and Kalusz,
in eastern Galicia, the Russian war
office reports. The Russians were
driven from height in this region by
a strong attack but after a counter
thrust they re-occupied the eminence.
The holding of this river line is vital
to the safety of the Teutonic posi-
tion and not only this part of the
front but northwest to the Galician
border. That stubborn resistance
would be offered had been expected.
Meanwhile, there is notable &C
tivity along the Franco-Belgian
front. The French at Verdun have
just assumed an important operation
in the re-alignment of their front
northwest of Verdun, which was dis
turbed by the German attack near
hill No. 3O4 late last month.
The French carried their success
full counter-attacks even beyond the
original line and drove nearly two
thirds of mile into the German
front from sAvoucourt. wood to west
of hill 3O4. N3l s
The new ground is being firmly
held, several counter-thrusts, under
taken by the German crown princes
troops last night being repulsed.
On the big British front there is
pronounced aerial activity and there
has been notable amount Of heavy
work done by the artillery, particu-
larly along the lines in Belgium.

EXPECT DRAWING
FOR new DRAFT
ARMY THIS WEEK
Sentiment Growing in Favor
Of Making Aliens Liable
For Military Service -
Question Of international
Law.
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, July 18.-A few iso-
lated precincts in each of seven
states we're today delaying the draft
lottery but returns were coming in
fast enough to warrant the belief
that the drawing will be held be-
fore the end of the week. Sentiment
is growing in congress in favor of
adopting some means for making
aliens liable for service in order to
relieve the burden of communities
with large foreign population i'm
muned from conscription, but many
officials believe the drafting of aliens
would be violation of the principles
Of international law.
Although complete reports from
seven states were still lacking early
today, Provost Marshal Crowder be-
gan final preparation for the nation
al lottery which will determine the
order in which ten million registered
men will come forward for, military
service.
The plan for the drawing has been
worked out in detail and approved
by Secretary Baker. It will be care
fully explained to press representa-
tives before it is given out for pub
lication. The machine for the lot
terry has been arranged and the only
points undecided are the exact place
in Washington where the drawing
will take place and the date. It was
suggested today that committee
room at the capitol be used. There
are many questions, such as wire fa-
cilities, which must be considered and
it is probable that General Crowder
and correspondents will work out an
agreement. sTaa .# 5-e ~
The government will be ready for
drawing as soon as the last state re-
ports that work is complete. If the
last telegram comes in the morning
the drawing can be held the same
day. If it comes in at night it is
probable the drawing will take place
the following day.

Young, Unmarried Men Form
Shock Units or 'Stefftrup-
PEN Are Detailed For
Most Dangerous Tasks and
Where There Is Little
Chance Of Coming Back
Alive.
(By the Associated Press)

(By the Associated Press)
French Front Correspondence of
Associated Press), July 18.-Details
of the organization of the German
formation known as "Stefftruppen"
or "shock units" indicates that the
German army at the front is now d.
vided into superior and inferior
grades of soldiers, a shock unit es-
pecially formed for difficult opera
tions which the ordinary regiments
evidently are regarded as unquali-
fed to undertake, are formed among
the young, vigorous men of the reg
ular battalion. They are nearly all
unmarried men or, if married, are
childless, and this regulation has
been drafted for the reason that
whenever they are sent into action
they encounter an overwhelming
chance of losing their lives. They
resemble, in fact, the "for!orn hope"
of the old-time wars except that they
are not volunteers.
German prisoners assert that the
soldiers who are insubordinate, who
do not take kindly to the discipline
of the army are sent into the ranks
Of these special unitssdestined to sac
rifice themselves in attacks on spe-
ctaux important positions OF attempts
which hitherto have generally proved
vain as to recapture positions such
as the Chemin des Danes from the
French. .
Until now, each German army has
had attached to it one or two battal-
ions of these shock units. Hence
forth according to the newest regu-
lations each German army corps is to
organize a shock. unit of Its own.
These shock units are never for hold
ing sections of the line. They go into
action only when difficult operation
is to be executed.

CRIES OF TREASON
HEARD AT MINI.
LABOR MEETING
Radical Resolution Is Voted
Down at Meeting Of Mime
sofa State Federation of
Labor-Would Abolish the
Public Safety Commission.
(By the Associated Press)

Faribault, Mimi, July 18.-Cries
of treason" punctuated the debate
on a set of radical resolutions which
finally were rejected by a vote of
220 to 80 at the convention of the
Minnesota state federation of
labor. The resolutions included a
paragraph condemning alleged en-
ployment of non-union labor in build
ing the cantonment at Fort Smelling
and during the argument on them
E. G. Vandenberg of Minneapolis i'm
plored the delegates that "if they are
fighting for rights OF labor to take
firm and whole-hearted stand against
a government that is crushing out the
lives of our workmen."
The delegates in various parts of
the hall shouted treason" and Pres
ident Hall directed Mr.. Vandenberg
to confine his remarks to the subject.
The resolutions were backed by J.
F.. Emme, former socialist candidate
for mayor of St. Paul, and others.
They demanded repeal of the law
which established the state public
safety commission and threatened a
statewide strike If it is not abolish
ed; demanded that government tell
what the war is about and endorse
the stand said to have been taken by
the Non-Partisan League regarding
conscription of wealth to carry on the
conflict.
