HOWEVER, IT is UNJusTlFlED BY
MILITARY SITUATION ON WEST
ERN FRONT, SAYS HERTLING.
The SITUATION is GRAVE"
"But We Have No Cause To Feel
Faint Hearted-We Have Already
Passed Through Harder Times"
Asserts the Chancellor.

London. = Count Won Hertling, the
German chancellor, addressed the
Main Committee of the Reichstag, de-
clared that the public discomfort is
not justified by the military situation
on the western front, according to a
dispatch from Berlin.
The chancellor opened with TIE
promise to meet the desire of the
Reaehstag for information as far as
possible. He proceeded to allude to
the deep discomfort which has seiz-
ed wide circles of the population,
and said that the principal reason
was the pressure of the terrible four
years of war, with all the depriyatiors
and sufferings brought in it's wa1e
and the sacrifices imposed on all
classes, families and more or less on
every Individual
Il have no intention Of trying 10
diminish this pressure by words" he
continued, but, gentlemen, ii this
discomfort is influenced by our pres
ent military situation, by the events
on the western front, i must, without
desiring to anticipate a statement
which we may expect from a repre-
sentative of the War Ministry, lie
clare most emphatically that it far ex-
ceeds justifable limits
Count Won Hertling admitted that
the last German offensive was unsuc-
cessful and that it had been neces-
sary to withdraw to the Siegfricd
line.
'The situation is grave" he add
ed, but we have no cause to be
faint-hearted We have already had
to pass through harder times"
The chancellor instanced the fail
ures of the verdun offensive, the
Somme battles and Brussiloffs mass
assaults bringing in their train the
well-remembe ed unfayorabie reac-
ton on the Austro-Italian front. Then
came Rumania's entry into the war.
I'VE never lost courage" he SAID,
"but showed our enemies what res
olute will to victory could do.
How do things stand now? We
have peace with Russia and Rumani't,
and even though conditions in Rus
STA are not yet clear and the future
appears uncertain, nevertheless the
former menace from swo sides has
disappeared and a considerable part
of our men of the eastern army can
be employed in the vest

TURKISH SOLDIERS
ALL But CRUSHED
SEIZURE BY BRITISH OF cRo5s-
ING OF JORDAN PREVENT
Ed ESCAPE.

London. Twenty-Five thousand
Turkish prisoners and ESQ guns hal
been counted by Gen. Allenby's forces
pushing northward through Palestine,
according to an official statement is
sued by the war office.
The war office announcement says
that the Seventh and Eighth Turkish
armies have virtually ceased to exist
The entire transport Of these two ar
mics was captured by the British.
Seizure by the British of the cross
ings of the Jordan at irs-Ed-Dameer
shut the last avenue of escape to the
Turks west of the Jordan.
Reports from the Palestine front in
dictate that none of the Turkish force
of at least 10000 men trapped by the
British through the seizure of the last
of the passages of the Jordan can pos
sibly get away.
Virtually the entire Turkish force
is or will be accounted for in killed,
prisoners and wounded. Hundreds
OF stragglers are being found wander
ing about in the mountainous country,
aimlessly, without a leader or pur-
pose.
The Turks had seven divisions south
of Nazareth and west of the Jordan,
but the exact number cannot be de-
termined owing to the weakness OF
some of the Turkish divisions, the to-
tails of different units varying.
The total Of $4,000 prisoners report
ed, however, is believed to be far less
than the final count will show, as ut
last report prisoners were still beins
brought in.
The cleanup effected by Gen. Allen
by, which is pointed to here as the
quickest and most complete of the eli
tire war, is counted as having definite
ly deprived the Turks of Palestine. III
addition, besides the personnel Of
their army the defeat has cost them
an immense amount of war material.
So far as is known the Turks on the
front only had four airplanes, and
these have been captured.

London.-General AlIenby's forces
in Palestine have taken $4,000 TurK-
ish prisoners and have captured 120
guns besides four airplanes and d
large quantity of uncounted transport.
This means the virtual humiliation
of the Ottoman forces in this region.

ize War Savings Society.
Special Meeting Tuesday.

Local Painters Union No. 106, at its
meeting last Tuesday night at Browns
hall, received eight applications for
membership. Five of these applicants
were obligated.
This unusual boost in the member
ship rolls is the result of the untiring

keby to bring within the folds all
those following the painters trade in
the city. Indications are that there
will be several more applications at
the next meeting.
A communication was received from
Secretary J. =: Manning Of the Union
Label Trades Department of the A. f.
of L. concerning the formation OF war
Savings societies to encourage the
sale Of thrift stamps and savings GER
tificates. It was stated that ten or
more members of any central body OF
local trade union can organize such
society. A committee consisting OF
E. J. Soltau, D. Lamont and E. Munk-
eby was named to look into the mat
ter and take steps towards launch
ing a society in the painters union. A
report will be made at the next meet
ing. ..*

Call for Special Glasses Antici-
dated Soon From. Public
Service Reserve.

With SIG as Duluth's quota, 224
men have already been enrolled in the
city under the U. S. Public Service
Reserve, according to w. S. Telford,
local enrolment chief. The work
of registering mechanics for service
in the government shipyards will be
continued until further notice is re-
ceived from headquarters at WASH
ington.
Indications are that a. call will be
issued soon specifying the plants where
certain classes of workers are re-
quired. In order to facilitate this
work and have complete data on the
situation at present, all enrolment
agents are urged to send in the men,
bership cards.
D. r. Cotton, Federal director for
the reserve in Minnesota, this week
sent the following communication to
local enrolment chiefs:
"Advices from Washington head
quarters indicate that call for
special classes of shipyard workers
is expected soon, and we are asked
to collect the membership cards at a
central point for the convenience Of
the department of examiners.
1T is very important that you write

edge of the mans character and his
working ability.

: Immediately make for his own record
a list of all names and addresses of
| members, and then send all cards
! to this office at once. Separate the
| cards of men employed at present
from the unemployed, and indicate
which is which, but send all cards in
| at the same time.
"As soon as a specific call is received
for a certain class of men, examiner
will inspect the cards and pick out
such men as he believes will qualify
for the jobs. These men will then
be given full information concerning
| the work, transportation, salary, and
told where and when to- report. It
is intended to spread the. selection
| over the whole state if possible, and
| for that reason it is desirable to have
