CIVILIAN EMPLOYES
 OF NAVY PROMISE THEIR COOPERATION
Seven Thousand Men From Philadelphia Yard Present Patriotic Memorial to
 Secretary Daniels

Washington, August 22. Earnest cooperation with the government in all of its plans for the war was pledged to Secretary Daniels today by the 1000 mechanics and other civ ilian employees of the Phila- delphia navy yard.
 A delegation from the men called and presented a memorial signed by the entire force expressing a desire by example to stimulate all others to the fullest performance of their duty to the country at this time"
 This reassuring message came as rumors were being discussed of 8 threatened strike in the New York navy yard. It strengthened the con- fidence of officials that there will be no labor troubles to disturb the navy's great building operations.
 There has been no official informa- tion of impending difficulties and it is believed that the revised pay sched- ules to be put into effect probably next month will remove any dissat- isfaction that may prevail. The joint army and navy wage board. now re- ceiving reports from all yards and ar- senals, expects to make its recom- mendations shortly

Methodists Plan to Spend S5,OOO,OOO for Expansion
 of Emory University

Atlanta, August 22.-Recommenda- tions calling for an expenditure of approximately s5,000,0oo for the ex- pansion of Emory university were made in report of meeting here today of selected Methodist laymen representing conferences from south ern states east of the Mississippi river after Asa G. Candler, mayor of Atlanta. and leading Methodists told the laymen he favored building the institution up to the standard of Eng lands Oxford. The report was rendered by Bishop Warren A. Candler. chan cellor of the university
 Judge Joseph 1T. Mccullough of Greenville, s. C., was named chairman of the conference late today and ap- pointed committee composed of lay men from each southern district rep resented at the meeting to formulate plans for executing the proposals as contained in the chancellors report.

Men With Flat Feet Are
 Not Necessarily Exempt
 for Service, Says Crowder

Washington, August 22-Flat feet do not necessarily disqualify a man for army service. Provost Marshal General Crowder in a telegram to state gov ernors today called attention to the army physical regulations which speci- fy that Ca broad flat sole Is common in 1aboring classes, particularly among negroes and is no way disabling"
 "In the flat foot which renders a man unfit for service" the regulations explain, the arch is so far gone that the entire border rests upon the ground with the inner ankle lowered and very prominent. and the foot apparently pushed outward"
 General Crowder said in his tele- gram that there would be less neces- sity for the multitude of questions asked by local boards if they would observe the provision of the physical regulations that physical deficiencies must be present in such degree as to clearly and unmistakably disqualify the man for military service before he can be found be physically deficient and not physically qualified for mili- tary service"

Food Administration Will Exceed S2 Limit on Wheat
 Purchases of 1917 Crop

Washington, August 22The price paid by the food administration for the DOT ton it buys of the 1917 wheat crop prob ably will exceed g bushel, 1t was learned today. The committee, headed by pr. H. A. Garfield. which will recom- mend price, will submits it's report early next week.
 In recommending a price the commit tee, it was said today, will take into con- sidera tion the fact that the producer must receive enough to stimulate production next year and at the same time will consider carefully war conditions and the rights of the consumer. In passing the food control bill Congress set an arbi- trary price of s2 on the 1918 wheat crop.
 The hope of the food administration is that the government price fixed will obtain in all private transactions through out the year. and it is ready to buy up the entire crop for distribution if prices cannot be stabilized by the mere fixing of q food administration price.

HAST WORD" NOTE
 HANDED GERMANY
 BY LITTLE PERU
Kaiser's Government Must Pay for Ship Sunk or Ac- cept Consequences-Mi-
 chaelis Sympathizing

Amsterdam, August 22-The Berlin vossische Zeitung announces that Peru has sent an ultimatum to Ger many.
 The Hamburg prize court recently refused damages to the owners of the Peruvian sailing vessel Lorton. which was sunk by a German submarine on February off the coast of Spain. The reason assigned by the court was that the Lorton. when stopped and asked for her nationality, hoisted the British flag It is also alleged that the Lorton was carrying contraband for England
 The vossische Zeitung says that in view of the threatening tone of Perus note the imperial German chancellor has ordered the Hamburg decision re . ferred to the upper prize court at Der. lin for final adjudication.
 Recent advices from Lima showed that the tension between Peru and Germany over the sinking of the Lor- ton was high. Peru, it was announced, submit the question to prize court Peru insisted that the sinking was unjustified and that Germany pay the damages and also an indemnity. The Chamber of Deputies unanimously ap- proved the energetic handling of the Lorton case by the Peruvian foreign minister. The Lorton was sunk last February inside Spanish territorial waters

No less than eight of these counter attacks were made in the evening. All of them were repulsed. The gains of the French were maintained entirely further advances were made and large number of prisoners were added to the previous total.
 It Is known the Germans had five divisions of reserves in readiness foy this battle and more than 400 batter ies. They began to weaken before the bombardment ceased and many of them surrendered. One complete platoon, in charge of non commissioned officers gave itself up in group
 A new batch followed the next day and they thoughtfully brought along the letters of the first platoon.
 The Germans flooded the region with gas but the French charged, wearing their masks. and carried nearly two miles of positions in an hour. Hill S44 also was stormed by masked troops
 Much amusement is expressed by French military officers over the Ger man official communications. The statement that the battle was begun tat England's order is regarded as an attempt to persuade the Germans that France is too discouraged to act on her own initiative.

Report on Mare Island
 Explosion Is Presented
 and Will Be Published

Washington, August 22.--The report of the naval board which investigated the recent fatal magazine explosion at Mare Island navy yard has reached the navy department and its substance probably will be made public after examination.
 There has been no intimaton as to whether the board found that the ex- plosion was set off by time fuse as has been reported. It was what he de- nounced as the false ana libelous charge of the Navy league headquarters that of this report had been blocked by labor interests that caused Secretary Daniels to order severed all unofficial connection between the league and the navy.

Already the Italian offensive has re- suited in the capture of more than 13, 600 prisoners ans 30 guns and gains of great importance have been made all along the line. Italian warships which are aiding in the attack at the head of the Gulf of Trieste, have switched their guns from the battle line and showered shells on Trieste, the bis Austrian port, which is the objective Of the Italians.
 VIENNA ADMITS DEFEAT
 Admission is made by the Vienna war office of victories of the Italians at sew eral points south of Tolmino and the capture of the town of Selo, near the head of the Adriatic, but it is asserted that the offensive, especially at Selo, cost the Italians thousands of men, killed and wounded. in addition to more than $500 prisoners
 Not alone have the Canadians re- pulsed all German counter attacks be- fore Lens, but they have taken addi- tional positions from the enemy in front of the important coal center. Near Ypres, in Flanders, the British have penetrated the German line to a consid- erable depth On both these sectors fu- rious fighting still is going on, the com batants frequently coming together in hand-to hand encounters.
 GERMAN ATTACKS FAIL
 Tuesday night and Wednesday morn ing saw the German crcwn prince de- livering heavy counter attacks against the newly won French positions north west of verdun, where at several points the Germans succeeded in re-entering them. These positions, however, shortly afterward again were relinuuished to General Petain's men under fierce on- slaughts. North and northeast of Yer dun the Germans made similar at tempts to recapture lost ground. but the ' rtillery and rifle fire of the French mo- ~ced them to desist. Wednesday afternoon rd the Germans apparently cowed as resilt of their unrewarded efforts, for their infantry kept to their trenches and onfy the artillery was in action.
 FRENCH TAKE 5000
 More than 5000 Germans have been made prisoner during the three days of fighting in the verdun region.
 On the Aisne front the crown prince still continues his attacks at various points along the Chernin-des Danes and | adjacent territory, but nowhere has he been able to dent the French line.

 The admiralty has issued the fol- lowing amplification of Lord Frenchs report:
 Ten enemy airplanes of the Gotha type were attacked by naval airplanes in the vicinity of Ramsgate between 10 and Il a. m. today. The enemy ma chimes. which were flying at a height between 11,000 and 12,000 feet, were closely engaged. and in addition to the two mentioned by Lord French in the earlier communication. another was shot down by royal naval air squad ron machine close to the coast.

About 10 o'clock Sunday evening two German aviators flew over two hos pitals behind Verdun, which are joined by wooden bridge over road sep arating the buildings. Four incendiary bombs which were dropped set fire to three wooden wards crowded with wounded.
 As the personnel were making an effort to save the survivors who had not been killed by the projectiles or the fire the German airmen returned and from low altitude turned their machine guns on the men and nurses who were cutting the bridge to pre- vent the fire from spreading. killins seven and wounding 20.
 The Red Cross workers on the build ing could be plainly seen in the light made by the blazing fire, but the raid CTS returned for a third time and dropped bombs on and fired their ma chine guns at the hospitals. Seven wounded soldiers were killed in the bed. Two Red Cross nurses in the wards were Killed
 Two other hospitals were similarly bombarded, making a number of vic- tims. One camp where German pris- oners were collected also was bombed and many Germans were injured.
