forces to amalgamate with the Ger
mans.
This military situation in Euro
pean Russia is not of serious con-
Germ here, as President Wilson de-
finitely declined to consider the
original proposal to re-establish a
Russian military front.
In Siberia. where United States
military and economic forces will
soon be supporting the Czecho-Slo-
wax army, the Bolshevist troops are
estimated at 10000 men. They are
without good leaders, poorly armed
and badly scattered. The only Ger
man forces in this army are former
prisoners of war who have been re-
duced to the state of brigands. It is
said.
The Czecho-Slovaks control the
Trans-Siberian Railroad. from the
Ural Mountains to Vladivostok.
what Happened mt ArchangeL
\ cable message from the Ameri-
can consul at Archangel states that
the Bclshevist authorities had de-
mandcd an explanation of the land
ing of allied troops at Omega The
communication added that the Boil
sheviki forces abandoned Archangel
some days ago in great haste when
allied airplanes appeared over the
town for the purpose of distribut-
ing friendly propaganda. Island
batteries at the mouth Of the river
were taken by the allies without
opposition.
Cossack troops in the vicinity OF
Archangel came to the aid OF the
Bolshevists when the occupation OF
the place first began, but immedi-
ately shifted their sympathies as
soon as the purpose of the expedi.
tion was explained to their lead
ers. On August the Cossacks
started a counter revolution agains,
the Bolsheviki and soon drove the
latter from the vicinity of Arch
angel.
Daring the confusion the Ameri-
can consul reported that he had
thought 1t best to destroy his code
book, as the final outcome Of the
situation was uncertain at one time

the change had been decided upon
after long consideration and was sup
ported by all the officials Of the de-
partment.
An interesting controversy was pro-
tected into the consideration of the
man-power problem when Senator
Thomas, of Colorado, introduced an
amendment which would provide that
under the work-or-fight policy men
released from fighting to do essen
tisl work must keep on at that work
or be put back into the fighting class
| The amendment was considered at
length. but there was no decision
upon it.
House Committee Slow.
Secretary Bakers request for
haste in the enactment of the bill
failed to move Chairman Dent of
the House committee into any ac-
tion looking to speedy action by his
committee on the bill. Under pres
ent plans the House committee will
not meet to consider the bill until
August 10.
Secretary Baker explained yester-
day that the new regulations when
adopted would be so formulated that
exemptions would be automatic.
Registrants will determine their
own status by their answers to the
questions. This will lessen the bur-
dens of the draft boards and simpli-
fly the work of wedding out those
who are to go into the deferred
classes. Family relations will be the
basis of deferments rather than
financial status or other considera-
tions.
Secretary Daniels said yesterday
he fully concurred in the new order
stopping enlistments in the navy as
well as in the army until the draft
law becomes effective.

As a result of further discharges

may be instituted shortly to take
the entire telegraphers case back to

after conference with the Postmas-

be settled on the basis OF the labor
program outlined by President Will

But yesterday Konenkamp was In

OficiaIs of the American Federation
of Labor were advised of the situa-

dent GOmpers of the federation would
appoint the committee the fedora
tion's last convention authorized, TO
present to President Wilson the con-
ditions under which the operators were
frorced to work by the Western
Union.
The Presidents labor proclamation
ordered that during the period of the
war there be no discrimination
against labor for union membership.
President Konenkamp refuses to make
any statement on the situation.
Il am still bound by my promise
to the postmaster general to say
nothing before he makes an announce
ment." he said. His associates in the
union organization were not so
reticent. however. and it was the feel
ing among operators that the Atlanta
unions appeal direct to President Will
son might hurry action by the postal
department. Secretary Wilson is ex-
peCtCd to bring the matter to the
Presidents attention again.

Despite cold weather. the largest and most enthusiastic audience in the history of the district. stood two hours in the city park to- hear the hero of the Marne.
 Faith in the people of America who have saved their flag from a stain which could never be erased or wiped out by entering the war at the side of the allies, faith in the people of France and England and other allied countries, and belief in God, gave the lieutenant every assurance that victory will fall to the arms of the allies. He discounted the gains of the Germans on the western front of the past few weeks, with the statement that they are nothing in this war. He predicted the end of the war when the allied armies snail nave crossed the Rhine.
 Guy Stanton Ford reviewed briefly the educational preparation through which Germany has gone in making ready for this war, while George B. Chandler called on the people of the district and the state for unity in ac- ton and endeayor and thought to the end that the war may be brought to speedy conclusion.
