 A warrant for the arrest of Elmer C. Scott. believed to have been with Chapman at the time of the crime, was issued following investigation of the case. a month ago. Hanford R.. Scott, say the police, is a brother of Elmer c. Scott The two others ar rested tonight are J. R. Towers and George Cappel.

They say that in order to ac- complish this the use of some federal troops in the different western dis tricts now being disturbed by the pres ehce and the efforts of the trouble makers will be essential, federal troops alone being effective at this advanced stage of the development of disorders such as the radical nti-government propagandists have brought about.

Somewhat slowly but nevertheless surely the Italians are breaking down the resistance of the Austrians in the region around Monte Santo north Of Gorizia and making their way east ward toward the border of upper Car niola. The Austrians have brought up large numbers of fresh men and at last reports the fighting was most intense, but with the Italians having overcome the resistance of the Austrians at various points.
 Virtually nothing is being vouch safed in the Italian official communi- cation which even approximately re- cords the advances General CadOrna's men have made since they began their offensive, the Italian war office prob ably desiring to conceal from the en-
 emy the exact objectives it has in view.
 On the front of France, the Germans
 have been throwing counter attacks against the French line in the region of
 Verdun, but not only have the forces of General Petain maintained their
 gains in their entirety but have taken
 more than HOO additional prisoners. Likewise on the Aisne front the
 German crown prince is keeping up his offensive against the French but here also the attempts met with com plete failure.
 Along the British front, the opera , tions have scarcely risen above the character of trench raids although on various sectors vigorous artillery duels are in progress.
 Berlin reports the capture of Rus sian positions near Jacobstadt, between Riga and Dvinsk, but makes no men, | ton of operations east of Riga. In Rumania the Russo o-Rumanian forces i still are holding their own against the | invaders, having retaken height posi- i tions northwest of Soveia which the | Germans captured last week. On the | Fokshani sector, Field Marshal vor 1 Mackensen's forces seemingly have l been unable to make further advances ] owing to the stiffening in the line o1 :. tSie defenders.

WASHINGTON, August 27.-Crea- tion of special federal commission to investigate disorders such as those re- sulting from the Industrial Workers of the World activities in the west, was recommended to President Wilson to- day by the Council of National De- fense.

French Advancino

GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE Sunday, August 26.-The gallantry of the French troops before Verdun car ried them forward again today wsen they attacked between Mormont farm and La Chaume wood and advanced another 100 0yards, capturing nearly 1000 prisoners. The territory to the south of Beaumont Heights and woods almost to the village of Beaumont fell into their hands notwithstanding the most severe German counter attacks which came under a vigorous fire from the French artillery.
 The first attack in the center was checked for a time. but the resistance or numerous nests of machine guns was overcome by the wonderful dash Of the French troops who would not be denied. The German artillery which seems to be weakening has bombarded heavily of late before retiring under pressure but the firing has been wild and little harm has been done.
