THRESHING WILL
Be GENERAL In
BIG TERRITORY.
THIS WEEK
Good w e ather Brings
About Resumption Of
Operations In South

The resumption Of threshing op-
erations in the districts where they
were suspended last week because. OF
rains, and the general inauguration
Of the threshing campaign In other
sections where no work had previ-
ously been done, will result from the
present excellent weather. .
Reports received in Fargo indicate
that the weather conditions prevail
ing locally are general over the en-
tire state, and western Minnesota.
In Sargent, Richland, Ransom,
Cass and southern Barnes county,
threshers were working Sunday, ana
bv the middle of the week, operations
VIII be general over the entire
southern half Of the state.
Wage Situation Important.
That some farmers are refusing to
nav S5 a. day for farm labor, is in
dicated in reports received in Far
90. Previous TO the harvest, the
farmers in several counties had fix
ed an arbitrary wage scale of $3.50
in haying, $3.50 in harvesting, and
S4b0 in threshing. The fact, as
pointed out by federal labor Officials
however, that laborers in grain fields
Of other states are receiving 80 a
day. and that there is a tremendous
demand the nation over for unskill-
ed Iaborers in war industry at 90
day, has served to keep men cut OF
the state, because of the previous
announced wage scales that were uIl-
der the wage scales elsewhere.

London, Aug. 26.-This mornings
attack was launched between the

heights northeast Of Neuyille- Vitasse.
In few hours the British made an
advance of two miles on a front Of
four miles, according to dispatch
received here from the battle front.
Monchy lie PreuX, Guemappe and
Wancourt, a little less than five miles
southeast Of Arras, have been taken
in todays' attack. Further south the
British have taken Mory and made
progress to the southeast Of the viii
lage.
In the area south of the Soname,
General Debeney's French army has

The towns of Monchy- Le- -Preux.
Guemappe and Wancourt were on the

the German drive on March 81. In
this sector the Germans drove ahead
slightly, but were held up after the
second day Of the fighting and after
that time could not get nearer Ar
ras.
This mornings attack apparently
was between the CojeuI river and the
Scarpe and adds about four miles TO
the length of the battle front. The

CLEAR TRACK is
GIVEN MANPOWER
BILL IN SENATE;
PASSED BY HOUSE
House Bill Is Substituted
In Order To Simplify
Passage
CBy Associated Fress,1

Washington, Aug. 26.--A clear
track was given in the senate today
to the manpower bill, passed Satur-
day by the house, broadening the
army draft age limits to Is and IS
years.
When the senate convened under a
long standing agreement to take up
war time problems, Senator Sheppard
Of Texas, prohibition advocate,
moved temporarily to lay that meas
ure aside. 1t was agreed to, and de-
bate on amendments to the man
power bill was resumed with passage
late today or tomorrow expected.
IT, expedite and simplify procedure,
the house bill was substituted for the
measure which has been pending in
the senate.
The senate committee struck out
the amendment of Representative
Treadway of Massachusetts,, adopted
by the house, providing for appoint
ment of special examiners by the pro-
yost marshal general to reclassify
men in existing deferred classes. This
amendment, the committee agreed,
would cripple authority Of state draft
board and is unnecessary because
General CroWder already has power
to make any reclassifications deemed
desirable.
An atempt by the house Saturday
to insert the work or fight amend
ment by which those exempted from
military service on occupational
grounds would be required to remain
at their civil tasks, failed 50 to 81.
The amendment was directed against
strikes and was characterized by Off
cials of American Federation of Labor
as a. conscription of labor.
The house reversed its action Of
Friday In voting to include members
of congress in the draft. BY rising
vote, SO to 143, it defeated an amend
ment by Representative Gregg of
Texas which would make members Of
congress, state legislatures and fed
eral and state executive officers liza
bic to draft.
Police Not Exempt.
An amendment by Representative
Smith of New York to exempt police
Officers in cities of more than 100000
population and designed to relieve the n
in New York, where a
shortage of police officers is said to
be threatened was defeated
An amendment by Representative
Treadway OF Massachusett which
was adopted, provided for the ap-
pointment Of special examiners in To-
cal CONSUMPTION districts for the re-
examination of men placed la de-
ferred classes as q, means of further
combing the deferred classes for adj
ditional men for active service.
