HOLLAND MISSION
 INTENDS ID CLEAR MISUNDERSTANDING
Statement Made United States Should Not Put
 Embargo Into Effect.

The Hague, July 26.-'tWe are going to America to clear up what we be- lieve misunderstanding of our posi- tion," said J. B. Van de Hoven van Cordt, member of the mission which is being sent to the United States to plead the case of Holland in the ex- port question, in a statement made here today.
 "I believe it is in the interests of America and her allies that our traf- fife with America continue,'' he said. For instance 60 or 70 Dutch ships are now in American ports. That alone is big disadvantage to the allies in view of the shortage of cargo space"
 M. Van Cordt spoke of large quan- titles of tropical produce being sup piled to America from the Dutch h. dies and of the increasingly important commercial relations between these lands. He was asked his opinion of the suggestion reported to have been discussed in newspaper interview of the Dutch minister at Washington that Holland should turn over ships to America under charter for service outside the European danger zones in return for facilities in obtaining sup plies. He replied that personally he regarded the idea favorably provided Hollands own needs were first met. The mission expects to depart about August 1.

ENGLISH HOUSE VOTES
 DOWN PEACE MEASURE
Former Premier Asqulth Declares During Debate Nothing Can Be
 Hoped From Germans Now.

London, July 26.-The house of commons, after employing the whole session in a discussion of a peace resolution, moved by James MacDon- aid, Socialist and labor leader, defeat ed it by vote of 143 to 19. The announcement of the figures was received with cheers and much laughter.
 The smallness of the number in the house when division was taken is an indication of the little interest shown by parliament in any hope of a use- full peace movement at the present jpuncture, and the conviction was voiced in an important statement by Herbert c. Asquith, former premier, that nothing was to be hoped from the present temper of the German reichstag and people.

To Restore Death Penalty.


 PetrOgrad, July 26.--In an inter- view today Premier Kerensky said the fundamental problem of the provis- ional government lay in providing for the immediate safety of the country and the revolution, whatever the cost might be. The government was thor oughly conscious of the duty before 1t, he said, and was determined to make resolute stand against any, thing which threatened the ruin of the state.
 The premier said re-establishment of the death penalty at the front was government was faced with the al- formative of sacrificing the army to a body of traitors and towards or hav- ing recourse to the only possible means of inspiring terror. The meas ure is to have effect only until the end of the military crisis. The pro- visional government, in complete agreement with the entire army. took the burden of heavy responsibility, the premier explained. solely in order to save the lives of heroes who were perishing in the execution of their duty.
 General korniloff teIegrapned from the Galician front to Premier Keren- sky, it developed today, threatening to resign his command unless the gov ernment decided to reimpose the death penalty upon the findings of field courtmartials.
 Such a reimposition, he declared, was the only means of Saving my army"

GERMANS ATTACK
 FRENCH TRENCHES
Grown Prince Again Sacrifices Large Numbers of Men For Minor Gains. Terrific Artillery Duel Between
 British and Germans Continues.
Associated Press Summary.)

Pending the tightening of the reins of repression, the Russian troops ev- erywhere in Galicia, from the region around Tarnapol to the Bukowinian border, are continuing to give way, with little fighting, before the Aus tro-Hungarians.
 The important towns of Bucacz, Tlumacz, Ottynia, and Delacyn have been captured by the Teutonic allies, and the Russians have been driven from the Targar pass, in the Carpa- thians, and from their positions in the ,Kirlibaba sector to the southeast.
 In addition to preaching tbe Ger man line south of the Carpathians, the Russians and Rumanias made large captures of men and guns The Rumanians took more than 1000 pris- oners, B machine suns and other war equipment.
 In the north, around Kreyo, the Germans have recaptured parts of the territory taken from them early in the week, compelling the Russians under heavy artillery fire to fall back.
 Again the Germans have made a vigorous thrust at the French line in the Aisne region of France. and again they have paid dearly in men killed or wounded for a slight gain. The attack was delivered over a front of two miles, from Herbices to La Bovelle, but only to the south of Allies was the crown princes army able to penetrate the French first line trenches.
 In the Champagne, the French have captured German trenches.
 Over fortymile front from the coast in Flanders to the river Lys, terrific artillery duels between the British and Germans continue, but as yet no attempt has been made by either side to throw the infantry into action.
 German steamers, attempting to ply in the North sea, are meeting with short shrift from patrolling British torpedo boat destroyers. Two more vessels have been sunk by destroyers and two others were captured and taken to an English port.

Senate Finally Passes Rivers and Harb0rs Bill, Despite Steady and Prolonged Fight, and Bill Now
 Will Go to Conference.

Washington, July 26t-Natlonal pro- hibton will be voted on by the son. ate next Wednesday.
 By unanimous consent 1t was agreed tonight to take up on Mondap Sena- tor Shcppard's resolution for ma tional prohibition amendment to the constitution, and to dispose of 1t by Wednesday night.
 Foes of prohibition consented to the vote in order to clear the resolu- ton from the calendar transmit the resolution to the house, and perhaps shift future agitation on the subject from congress to the states.
 They obtained an agreement, how ever, for the admission of provis- ion requiring the states to act with in six years on the constitutional amendment, if submitted to them.
 A two-thirds vote of the senator's present would be required. Senator sheppard predicted tonight an af- firmative vote of 65 or 66, just enough to approve the resolution, which would then go to the house subjec. to a similar two-thirds vote. Ratlfi- cation of the amendment would re- quire affirmative action by three- fourths of the 48 states.
 The resolution provides that "the manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors within. the im- portation thereof into, or the exporta- ton thereof from, the United States. and all territory subject to the juris- diction thereof. for beverage purposes. are hereby prohibited. The congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation"
 Senators Penrose and Underwood announced tonight they would oppose the resolution

White Man and Negro Killed, Twenty Injured
 in Chester, Pa.
RESULT OF KILLING
 BY NEGRO TUESDAY
MOh of Several Hundred Invaded Ne- gro Section, Driven Off By State Troops - Soldiers Suppress
 Youngstown. O., Negroes.

Chester, Pa, July G6.-Two men, a white man and negro, were killed in race riots which broke out anew here tonight after a day of comparative quiet. About 20 others were injured, scores of persons were arrested.
 The rioting, which started last night as the result of the killing of a young white man, William Mckinney, last Tuesday, reached it's climax to- night when mob of several htndrtli whites invaded the negro section, along the Delaware river.
 Negroes who ventu1ed to retard their progress were beaten with clubs and houses were searched in the hope of discovering one of the suspects in the Mckinney killing.
 One of tonights victims was Jos- eph McCann, white, aged 2S, who is said to have been the leader of the mob. When he fell mortally wound ed, the invading whites were aug mented by hundreds of onlookers Several negroes were dragged from street cars and beaten into uncon- sciousness and one was fatally shot
 Soon after McCann was killed a squad of guardsmen was rushed to the scene. Augmented by the local police and large squad of state troops, they drove the rioters from the colored section with revolvers and rifles. Mayor Mcdowell announced at midnight that he had the situation under control.

Marriage May Bar.

Trenton, N. J., July 26.-According to the interpretation placed by mili- tary authorities on letter just re- ceived from the Provost Marshal General Crowder, in reply 70 en- quiries, drafted men who have mar ried or who shall marry before they are called for examination, will not have to serve in the army if their brides are depedent upon them.
 The impression has prevailed here tofore that marriage after June 5 of men subject to the draft would be re- garded as an attempt to evade the se- lective service act and would not be recognized as bona fide claim. The Following paragraph of the provost marshars letter, military authorities say. seems to upset that impression:
 "1n reference to marriage after June 5, 1917, it would seem in like manner that the claim of discharge becaue of dependency should be deter- mined at the date of calling. If the person called is then a married man and has a wife at that time, neDcnd- ing upon his labor, in the sense in which that term is used in the rules and regulations, it would seem he could be discharged from the service if, in the opinion of the board, the claim is substantiated"

Better Food and Environment Will Decrease Rcjecti0nS Among Wealthy Classes-First Reports Will ln-
 dicate PeEcentage Exemption.

Washington, July 26.--Reports Of the first selection boards to fill their quotas for the selcctve draft army, are eagerly awaited by Washington officials because they will give the first definite information as to the probable percentage of the claims among the rcgistrants for physical disabilities or for dependents.
 All available statistics indicate a probable rejection of one in every four for physical disability. In par ticular localities this will vary great ly It appears probable that future results will show, according to the reasoning of some officials, that the lowest rejection and exemption rates will be disclosed in we'll to do com munties, where men of comfortable income make their home.
 Sons of such men, 1t is suggested, have had much better care, food and surroundings than the factory hands of nearby towns, and they should be in better physical condition.
