REPORTED FACING
ANOTHER STRIKE

Dubuque, Aug. 13.-Dubuque IS
threatened with a new strike as the
result Of a meeting Monday even
ing OF the workers at the Morrison
Bros. and the Dubuque Boat and
Boiler works. Both plants have
heavy government contracts. The
men were addressed by a labor agi-
tator named Smith, who called on
them TO demand better wages and
working conditions. United States
Marshal Moore appeared at the
meeting later and warned the men
to get rid OF the strike idea, as they
would be guilty OF Obstructing the
work OF the government winning
the war. The men, however, are
said to be determined To walk out,
the only matter In dispute being
the number of hours notice to gtve
the employers.
A conference OF business men,

London, Aug. 13.-The Germans
intend to occupy Petrograd, a dis
patch to the Copenhagen Politiken

change Telegraph correspondent in
the Danish capital reports. Troops
for this purpose are already being
brought toward the objective, it Is
added.

London, Aug. 13.-Germany, in
the bitterest hour of defeat in the
west, she has yet known, is men
aced in the east not only by the ad-
vance of the allied expeditions, but
by the perpetually growing move
ment of unorganiZed resistance to
her occupation, says the Daily Tele-
graph in commenting on the situa
ton in Russia.
There is not a part of Russia
where German troops are stationed
where the commanders have not
done all they can do to hold the
people down by force Of arms. The
task, the newspaper adds, will soon
call, if it has not already, for strong
teinforcements apart from the
question of meeting the allied ex-
peditions. The Telegraph con-
tinues:
IF the enemy is in peril in the
west, he is little better off in the
east, and Prussianism is reapin5
wherever it has sOwn."
The removal of the German en-
bassy to Pskov, says the Daily
Chronicle, is an admission by the
Germans of their intense unpopu-
larity in Russia.

10000 Huns
af1dl,OOOGuns
Won by Allies

Paris, Aug. 13. CHavas Agency.
Since the beginning of the allied
counter-offensive, on July IS, the
allies have taken more than 10000
prisoners and more than 1000 guns,
the Echo de Paris states today. In
addition it estimates more than 10,-
600 machine guns have been cap>
tured from the enemy.
Whether the allied forces, rein
forced by the troops which have
been and are pouring toward the
front, had resumed their drive or
not, the fact remains that the Ger
mans have been completely out
maneuvered and a victory has been
won, the fruits of which will not be
easy to wrest from the viCtOrs.
AS the result of the continuous
pressure eXerted by General Hum
bert on the line of the hills of Rol-
lot and Boulogne-La-Grasse, Gen
eral Won Hutier's position is some
what worse than that of yesterday.
The fall Of Lassigny is imminent
according to the indications. and it
may even have been occupied al
ready.
The enemy defense is now being
offered, not by the customary rear
guards, but by mobile groups OF
machine gunners. At the same
time the Germans are bombarding
the French rear with their field
guns.
Prisoners taken yesterday, most
of them quite young, said that re-
Inducements for Won Hutier were
not expected and that the troops on
the enemy lines were only there
to hold to cover a withdrawal.

War SUMMARY

The Lilies are continuing to
hit the strengthened German
line for further gains.
The Germans are making ey-
cry effort to hold the British
French and Americans at check
in their old line of l916-l917.
A break in the German eIfoTt
TO stabilize the fighting posi-
dOns appears most probable in
the regian of Lassigny, between
ROye and Noyon. Here the
French have advanced two
miles southeast of Lassigny.
London reports that the Ger
mans are eVacuating the Disc
river bed inst west of Bailey,
as a result of French pressure.
British troops have gained
additional ground north of
Roye and on the north bank Of
the Somme.

M'ADOO BARS ALL
SALES OF LIQUOR
UPON RAILROADS

Washington, D. c., Aug. 13.-Dt-
rector General of Railroads McAdoo
placed the travelling public on the
water wagon by an order today pro-
hibiting service of liquor on trains
ard at railroad stations.
Mr.. McAdoO decided that the gov
ernment should not be a partner in
the liquor traffic and one of his first
official acts was to issue the fol-
lowing order:
"The sale of liquor and intoxi-
cants of every character in dining.
cars, restaurants and railroad sta
tions under federal control shall be
discontinued Immediately
No time is given the dining car
companies and station hotel men
and restaurant companies to dis
pose of stocks of liquor on hand by
retail They will be expected to re
move them from the premises i'm
mediately and close all bars.
The Pennsylvania railroad sta
tion in New York will be the hard
est hit by the new ruling. Bars in
that station did a heavy business.
The transcontinental dining car
companies also Will lose big profits.
Passengers making the trip across
the continent viii be required TO
carry their own liquor refresh
ments or have a try trip.
Mr. McAdoo. as secretary of the
treasury, before congress closed all
the saloons here, closed the bar in
a Washington hotel that had been
acquired by the government as
prospective site for government de-
partment buildings.
The position he took in that case
was that the government should
not be a partner in the liquor bust
ness.

ably would have an effect on the
German positions in the Ourscamp

Disc II the Germans are out
thanked by the allied movement, a
retirement from that district
would be probable and this would
necessitate relocating OF the line
running from the Oise and the
Aisne at scissors. Thus the at
tack launched this morning would
appear to have a direct relation 70
the battle being fought along the
Aisne and Vesle by the allies. Dis
patches tell OF hard fighting at
Fismette, on the north bank OF the
Vesle, between scissors and
Reims. The allies, among whom
Americans are known 10 be fight
ing. were forced from the village
by the Germans and had TO cross
the Nesle, but an immediate coun-
ter attack is reported TO have re-
stored the allied position on the
north side of the river.
Barn Towns 10 Retreat.
Reports received today stated
that the ruins OF Peronne are in
flames and that several villages
behind the German lines are burn
ing. The first may have been
caused by allied bombs, but IL is
believed the Germans applied the

mary step TO a further retirement

Paris, Aug. 13.-The allied forces in Picardy
made heavy attack today along the entire front
from Chaulnes southwark in determined effort to
break the resistance of the enemy.
The allied artillery now has full control of the
convergng roads in and out of Noyon, the
southern end of the line, notably that running to-

in carrying out retrograde movement is thus in

London, Aug. 13.-The French launched at
tack this morning on the southern part of the Pic

afterwards making progress in the valley OF the

occupying them.

The enemy is reported destroying villages in his

various points.
Only at one corner of the Massif do the Germans
appearfer~the moment to be in possession. This
corner is one of the highest humps the hills, ris
ing a few feet above the positions now in possession
of the French. The French are attacking this hump
strongly and there every prospect of the action
ending in their favor.
When the French get their guns to the top here,
the enemy's communications with Roye will come
under observed fire.
The French have gained control of the entire
Massif of Lassigny the southern end OF the Pic

noon. This gives them command of the town of Las

entire district to the north.
ROYE UNDER CROSS FIRE.
In the opinion of experts, the capture of Roye
may be expected within day two, the town IS
