"On the second day the British

I'm the early morning the attack
went forward most satisfactorily, the

MAN To Do DUTY

tsY MoRNlHo -onRNAL SPECIAL LEASED wtREl
Washington July 3t.--Railway en-
ployes were told by Director General
McAdoo in announcing details of the
wage increase for more than 100000
shopmen that the nation expected new
energy from the workers in return for
pay increases and improvements in
employment conditions and that
strikes and other labor disturbances
must be elir' gted during the war.
''ln reaching the conclusions upon
which this order is based" said the
director general, Il have been keenly
conscious not alone of the interests
Of the railway employees, but also of
my solemn duty to the American peo-
pie To see to it that the trust they
have committed to me is discharged
faithfully.
"Now that the decision has been
made the American people expect
every railroad employe to devote him
self with new energy TO his work and
by faithful and efficient service to
Justify the large increases of pay and
tho Improvement in working condi-
tions hereby granted.
at is of the utmost importance that
motive power and cars shall be kept in
repair and that the output of railroad
shops throughout the country shall be
greatly increased.
81 am proud Of the loyal service the
great body of railroad men have rem
dered since the railroads have come
under federal control. But ! should
not fail to say that there are instances
where agitation in some of the locomo-
tive and car shops have been extreme
ly hurtful to the country. The loyal
and patriotic employees, who consti-
tute the great majority of the army
of railroad workers have not yielded
to these disturbances.
"hhe loyal and patriotic employees
can render a new and powerful serv-
ice to their country by using their in
fluence to expose any who may be-
come slackers in their work"

There must be the greatest econ

FRANCIS AND ALLIED
ENJOYS QUIT VOL CODA

WASHINGTON, July 31.--Reports have
reached the state department that
Ambassador Francis and all the al
lied diplomats left Vologda, presum-
ably for Archangel, July 23.
The hastv departure of the diplo-
mats is attributed to notice that the
Bolsheviki intended to cut the line
to Archangel after July %. 1t was
said Ambassador Francis would be
unable to communicate with Wash
ington from Archangel.
The last direct word from him was
received about a week ago In a much
garbled cablegram from Moscow to
the effect that the ambassador was
leaving Vologda but that the consular
officers at Moscow would remain at
their posts.
