Continuing their attack, they adj

gaining trench system.
On the right flank the German re-
sistance was most desperate. Early
in the day the British drove the Teu-
tons back but numerous counter at
tacks, in which they suffered heavily,
enabled the Germans TO regain the

made additional progress east of Loos

No Easy Undertaking
Faced By Kerensky

1t IS no easy undertaking which has
been assumed by Alexander Kerenskg,
Russian premier, for the second time.
He is the leader of an unorganized
people, or divergent states, and is fet-
tered by unauthorized efforts of legis-
lation by various organizations and
bodies. Russia's people are heterogen-
eous, moved by various aspirations,
situated in entirely different regions,
affected entirely by different causes,
and in addition, are now delirious with
a freedom which they may not know
how to control or how to direct. Yet,
one man must master the situation
and curb the malcontents, organize
the industrial and military forces, and
carry on a great war in the face of all
these drawbacks.
The army, itse.f, is in bad ways.

To formal alliance, the United States
having joined fortunes with the en-
tcnte allies in the supreme struggle
Tor democratic ideals, the necessity
and propriety of consulting with them
as to any measure looking to peace is
obvious. Even with the aid of cables,
such exchanges are tedious and time
consuming.
It is probable that before the formal
replies are made, statesmen in every
entente country will in a way test out
public sentiment by individual state
ments. 1t is believed in Washington
that this was one fthe purposes Of
Lloyd Georges speech in parliament.

DRAFT MACHINERY
FOR new ARMY
NOW COMPLETE

Washington, Aug. 16.-Machinery
for selection of the draft army finally
was completed today with the appoint
ment of district appeal boards for
three Pennsylvania districts where
designations had been delayed by the
war departments desire to investigate
local differences of opinion and ap-
point boards acceptable to the COM
munities concerned.
Boards for all other districts of the
country had been appointed some time
ago and in large percentage of cases
their work of passing on industrial
exemptions and on appeals is well adj
vanIed.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
announced today that designations Of
local and appeal board members can
not be tolef ated except in very urgent
cases. Teelgvaphing to all the state
governors, the general emphasized
that board members have been draft
ed into the service upon which they
arc engaged" by the president and

manders. In spite of our SUI
periority of numbers in the regions al
tackled, our retreat has been almost
uninterrupted. This is the result OF
the instability of our troops, disregard
for military orders, and the propagan-
da of the Maximalists. When the
Goth Mlynov regiment threw down
their arms, and the Germans rushed
into the breach in the trenches, other
regiments were ordered to stop the on
rush, and before they determined to
obey they held meetings to debate the
advisability of executing the orders
when only prompt obedience could
save the day.
With such condition Kerensky was
made almost dictator. General Korn-
iloff and other leaders were immedi-
ately instructed to punish insubordina-
ton. Deserters were ordered shot,
and artillery literally executed regi-
ments of infantry when they began
unordered retreats. The internal con-
dition, especially at Petrograd, was
unsettled, and potential with all sorts
of happenings. Kerensky was crossed
and not receiving the support he deem
ed absolutely necessary, he resigned.
within few days, the leaders of the
| five larger parties voted their conf
dence in him, and asked him to retain
control. He accepted for the good of
the country, and faces terrible or
deal of duty and responsibility.
The happenings in Russia can well
vie with those of the battlefield in inn
