Exemptions For"
The OLde1" Men
S. To Be Liberal
lBv Aasoeiated Preea.l

Washington. Aug. 6.--Broader pro-
visions for exemptions have been
written into the new man power bill
now before congress, so that the ma
TONS war industry fabric may not
be upset by unduly large Withdrawals
Of men over SO years OF age for Mill
tary service.
Provost Marshal General Crowder,
appearing today before the senate
military committee, explained that
he had deemed it advisable to sub
stitute the words occupations and
employments" for the. word indus
tries" used in the existing law, in
the section affecting industrial ex-
emptions.-
This would make possible more
liberal Interpretation Of the law and
prevent the induction into the army
Of many men performing essential
work at home and yet not actually in
industrial occupations. .r.
Chairman Chamberlain announ-
ced after today's meeting that the
committee had decided to ask Sec
retary Baker and General March to
make statements. Secretary Baker
is out Of the city, but General March
is expected TO appear tomorrow
morning.
Senator Chamberlain said it was
the purpose. Of the committee to in
yestigate "the apparent change Of
front" on the part Of war department
officials. ~ a,t
THE committee desire to as
certain" said the senator, why they
are in such a hurry now to have this
draft bill passed when before they
said there was no hurry"
When the question of extending
the draft was before congress in con-
nection with consideration Of the
army appropriation bill, Secretary
Baker and other war department OF
fcials told congressional leaders
that a change in draft ages was un-
desirable until an enlarged army
program being worked out, could be
to congress.

THINKS RUSSIA
WILLFLNISH WAR
Officer Of Red Guard Pre-
diets New Revolution ,
And German Defeat
(BY ARsoclated Prees.l

Washington, Aug. 6.-'Tt ~ Rus
sia that will finish the war"
This Is the declaration made to
DIR. Hans Worst by an officer Of the
Red Guard, according to an article
by DR.. Worst in The Berlin Tage-
blatt.
DR.. Worst is considered in Ger
many one of the best judges Of Rus
sian affairs and was sent to Russia
by The Tageblatt to report condi-
tions.
Through conversations with Rus
SLAMS of all classes he came TO the
conclusion that the Soviet govern
ment is thoroughly detested, but
that the hatred OF the Russians for
the Germans is still greater. The
Soviet government, he declares. is
the oligarchy Of terror and unre-
straiut.
A merchant declared to DR.. Worst:
1.-THE war with Germany is not over
Al new government will be formed in
Russia. It will decree a general
mobilization and will drive the en-
emy out Of all the territory that he
occupies."'
The officer OF the Red Guard who
declared that Russia win end the
war, added, according to DR.. Worst:
"A national rising so powerful and
so general will be accomplished that
victory will return to our flag"

Enemy Trying Desperately
To Prevent More Cross
ings Of Vesle
HANDICAPPED
BY WEATHER
Mist, Wind And Rain Make
Their Efforts Of Lit
tie Avail
CBy Associated Press.)

With the American Army on the
Vesle, Aug. 6.-(8 a. m.)-The Ger
mans along the line opposite the Am
ericans west of Fismes used their
guns freely yesterday afternoon in
an apparent attempt to discourage
the Americans and their French al
lies from further aggressive efforts.
The Germans were handicapped in
this effort by the weather condi-
tions. It was misty and at times
rainy, and although German bal
looms were up they must have been
unable to report accurately. About
mid afternoon the Germans began
trying other methods to get the
range for their heavy guns. Many
shells which threw out black smoke
upon exploding. were hurled toward
crossroads and other detectives to
gauge the range from the smoke
clouds.
But the mist likewise hampered
accuracy in observations on these
shells and after wasting numbers Of
them the attempt was abandoned.
Late in the afternoon the Germans
were persistent. They combed the
hills bordering the Vesle with gas
shells, endeavoring to reach the
roads leading to FIsmes and other
points where they thought the allies
might be assembled for a crossing
of the Vesle. At some places along

South of Bazoches, where the
Germans tried this trick, they fired

switching to a mere powerful poison
gas, hoping to catch the allies nap

learned to discern the various va
rieties of shells and have regular
systems Of sending word along the
line for their protection. Today
likewise there happened to be al
south wind which carried the gas
back across the Vesle and after put
ting on their masks for each attack,
the Americans would laugh as the
gas was blown back.
Meanwhile the American and
French heavy guns to the south were
sending in repeated salvos. and the
Germans were suppIementing their
gas Smelling with mine throwers and
machine guns north Of the Vesie:
These smaller weapons were kept
working full time in the hope OF
keeping clear the south banks of the
river. Darkness came and with Ii

JAPANESE TO BE
IN COMMAND Of
FORCES
IN The FAR EAST
General Baron Uyehara
Probably Will Be The
Ranking Officer
(Ry Associated Press. }

Washington, Aug. 8.-Plans for
the organization and dispatch OF the
American military contingent to
Russia to cooperate with the forces
OF the allied nations in support OF
the Czecho SlovalLs at Vladivostok
are being worked out by the army
general staff. Beyond the statement
Issued Saturday by Acting Secretary
Of State Polk that the American
forces would be "a few thousand" in
number, no tntimation as to the size
Of the contingent has been given.
At the war department today it
was said that by next wednesday,
General March. chief Of staff. would
be able to give out a statement of
as much Of the plans as safely can
be disclosed. '-
If the military laws that govern
joint action by international mill
tary forces are to be observed in the
case OF this Siberian operation the
senior officer of the International
force will be in supreme command.
This rule prevails even where the
-diffef6rent national forces making up
the Joint expedition work on con-
current lines, though in that case
the National commanders, having
complete control OF their own forces,
are bound to obey the general rules
oe the campaign outlined by the su-
preme commander.
Japanese General.
1t is assumed that Japan. follow
ing military rules, would naturally
assign to its command an officer of
higher rank than those in command
of the smaller American and entente
forces. In the opinion OF the officials
here this officer will be Gen. Baron
Uyehara, chief of staff of the Jap
aneseJ army. The only notable Yio-
lation of this international rule of
courtesy was on the occasion Of
joint expedition the boxers in China
more than a decade ago. Then the |
kaiser, though his contingent was
less than some OF the others, rushed |
q field marshal all the way from Eu- |
rope to China in order, through his |
superior rank, to be able to claim
Germany's right to command the ex-
pedition.
The Red Cross has been forehand-
ed in arranging for the participate |
already has arranged for the ship |
ment of quantities OF supplies likely |
to be needed. This is to be done in |
addition to the usual hospital SER |
vice which falls to the Red Cross.
Though Acting Secretary PoIk's |
statement made 1t appear that only
America and Japan were In position |
to render Immediate military assist |
allce ia Siberia, information has
reached washington that respond
ing to the state departments appeal
for aid, the British already haveI
landed battalion of troops at Via

East In Grip Of
Great Heat WaUe

Washington, Aug. ga, shower
area in the far north that is increas-
ing In size, offers the only promise
OF relief from the excessive heat
wave which today overspreads the
entire eastern half of the country
from the lower Missouri valley to
the Atlantic coast.
There is prospect Of local rainA
along the lower lakes and in the Lake
Superior region, which should re-
lieve the hot spell in those sections
but elsewhere the weather promises
to be fair and hot.
A tropical disturbance, the weather
experts said today, is evidently APP
preaching the gulf coast, although
the precise point Of contact cannot
yet be ascertained. It's effect on the
heat wave was not forecast.

Nj 'ADOO APPEALS
TO DAKOTANS TO
SUPPORT COMING
BIG BOND DRIVE
Secretary Of Treasury Ad-
dresses 5000 At Minot
Monday Afternoon

Secretary McAdoo and party
passed through Fargo late Mon
day night, but as there had been i
no announcement Of his coming,
few people were at the train.
He did not speak.
Minot, N. D., August 6. -'Be-
cause some gutter, some cheap
skate, the fellow who isn't a patriot,
goes into Wall street and sells his
Liberty bond at 95 or below par, does
that make your investment worth
less? No, my friends, Uncle Sans
bond is still at par, and the Ameri-
can people are willing to buy all the
bonds Uncle Sam wants to sell at
par to make the world and humanity
free" declared William G. McAdoo,
secretary to the treasury, and direc-
tor general Of railroads in his Is
minute talk to 5000 Minoters as
sembled at the Great Northern depot
Monday afternoon. Secretary Nc
Adoo, accompanied by Mrs. McAdoo,
President Wilson's daughter, was
passing through Minot en- route to
Washington from Glacier Park
where he had spent brief vacation.
Minot railroad men walked from the
shops in q. body and formed a guard
of honor around the director general
while he. spoke. The Minot Union
Musicians band was also present,
having marched to the depot headed
by q large banner bearing the
words: "Minot Labor Is with You"
and mo Compromise. Victory or
Death" 49,
Continuing Secretary McAdoo
said: Il am violating all orders in
trying to speak to you, my friends,
but could not resist the temptation
Of telling you how deeply / ap-
preciate this evidence OF that splen-
did American spirit that is giving
the Kaiser such a splendid walIop-
you it is only beginning OF what
is coming. The Kaiser said the
Americans wouldn't fight. He had
never heard OF political conven-
tiOn or ne never would have said
we couldn't fight. We are now giv-
ing the Kaiser q sample Of Ameri-
can courage, presented with Ameri-
can steel and decorated with Ameri-
can shells and when we get through
we are going to make Unter den
Linden look like 80 cents
That is not a vain boast. Ameri-
ca went into this great job with
American determination, and we are
going to do it no matter what it
costs. AS Lincoln said when the
nation was In danger: "This nation
cannot exist half slave and half
free, we've served notice on the
autocrats that this world cannot ex-
ist half democratic and half auto
cratic.
