TheKniser has called a conference of his chief advisers at Grand Headquarters nnd the world is anxiously
awaiting the result of what may prove to be the most important meeting since the war began. Some critics
believe that the German Emperor will make known his intentions for both internal and international peace.
Others are equally certain the meeting is nothing more than a "get-together" of the new government. At tho
top, from left to right, are Dr. Ferdinand von Stumm, Permanent Secretary of the Foreign Office and formerly
an attache at tho German embassy nt Washington; Doctor von Kuhlmann, the new Foreign Secretary; Crown
Prince Fricdrich Wiihelm, and Field Marshal von Hindenburg, Chief of Staff. Below aro Chancellor Michaelis,
Quartermaster General von Ludendorff and Vice Chancellor HclfTcrich, Minister of the Interior.
MAYOR CAUTIOUS
ON PRICE OF GAS
Councils "at Proper Time"
to Decide Whether Con- -sumer
Shall Pay Less
POLITICIANS DODGE ISSUE
Mayor Smith paid today that Councils "at
the proper time" would pay full attention to
tho question of whether consumers would
receive the benefit of a flVe-cent reduction
In gas charges which will bo brought about
January 1, 1918, when the United Gas Im
plement Company Is under contract to re
duce Its price to the city rrom lghty cents
to sevcnty-flvo cents per 1000 cubic feet.
"I appreciate," said the Mayor, "that this
Is a very Important question, a question
which should cngago the attention of every
thinking taxpayer, for It concerns the wel
fare of tho city and the pocketbook. It Is
my purpose nt the proper tlmo to give the
matter my fullest attention, and whatever
Btand I take shall be actuated only by a
desire to better Philadelphia.
"At tho present time there nre many
other matters demanding my attention
matters of tho utmost importance.
"The five-cent reduction In gas will not
take tffect until January 1, 1018, and wo
shall li.ive plenty of time before that date
to decide who shall receive the five cents,
the consumer or the City Treasury. At the
proper time, I imagine that Councils will
have a lot to say concerning the disposition
of the l!e cents."
Joseph 1. Gatfney, chairman of Councils
Mnance Committee, intimated that he
thought that the five-cent reduction should
go into the City Treasury.
"I have not consldsred the proposition,
he said, "and therefore, do not feel com
petent to talk intelligently upon tne sud
Ject at thlb time.
"I can say this, however, and that is

HOT FIGHTING ON SERETH
As frequently happens on tho evo of
Important events, on tho battlo 'routs,
such as were forecast yesterday, the news
today from both tho west and cast wai

On the west front new gains by tho
French to tho northwest of Blxschoote,
in Belgium, aro reported by Field Marshal
Haig. On the British front nnd on the
Aisne the activity is still confined to
heavy artillery operations and raids.
The most furious fighting on tho cast
front Is In progress In the Rumanian
province of Moldavia, where Von Mack
ensen's ndvanclng army Is attempting to
thrust the Russo-Humanlans back across
tho Soreth Blver. On tho Gallcian fron

Philadelphia draft boards cut their way
through tho barbed-wiro entanglements of
red tape today nnd put their O. IC on ap
proximately 800 recruits.
Pending definite Instructions concerning
rxomptlon claims from tho VTar Department
virtually nil of these men were listed as
members of tho new national army.
That a blg percentage will escape army
service Is conceded by draft officials, but
before the conscripts receive discharges the
will have to provo beyond all doubt tha
they havo dependents or that they are es
sential unltH In the operation of industrial
plants engaged In war work.
Virtually all of tho boards devoted the
day to tho examination of recruits and paid
little heed to exemption clalmB. As the War
Department continued to bombard the
boards with modifications of tho draft'-rulee
governing tho exemption of conscripts, the
draft ofllclals decided to hold oft on exemp
tlons until the War Department decides
definitely what It has In mind.
features' of the dat
Other outstanding features of the day!
activities were these:
First. Provost Marshal General Crowder
Informed the draft boards that, as the
mohlllzatlin of the now army 13 to begin
on September 1. they must have at least
ono-thlrd of their quotas reaay lor servicj
on that date. Each board was Instructed
to keop the State military officials informed
concerning the progress of the draft and
havo ono-thlrd-or approximately 6000 of
tho Philadelphia conscripts ready for duty
in tho first clay of mobilization.
Second. General Crowder ordered radical
changes to be made In tho physical re
quirements of tho conscripts. As many
have failed to pass the physical tests owing
to defective teeth and the fact that they
aro under weight, new Instructions, de
signed to overcome these dimrfultles, wer
Issued.
Tho main reduction from tho standard l

While no ofllclnl explanation oi ine ,! ,w,

It la understood that far more than the ex
pected number of drafted men failed In the
scale examination solely on account of
weight The surgeon general of the army
decided that this fact alone should not pre

army life, as a rule quickly adds twelve to
fifteen pounds to tho weight of an under

In addition to tho weight allowances or

nnimrprl tomorrow hv tho Adjutant Gen' feW
eral's olTlce, nccordlng to reports from Har
rlsburg today.
Although the State military officials de
cllncd to discuss the cuts, tliey admitted
that many of the Philadelphia .district
would benefit considerably. They cited the
Thirty-fourth District, which comprises two
Kensington wards, and others where volun
tary enlistments hae been brisk. Briefly,
each district will be given benefit for the
men who hae Joined the colors.
CREDIT FOR ENLISTMENTS
A careful tabulatlon'of the men who have
enlisted from Philadelphia since the begin
ning of the war has been made and cacbj
district will bo given credit for the num
ber of men It has sent to the army and
navy. For Instance, a district that ha
given forty men to the "national service
will not bo penalized for Its patriotism, but
given credit when the new quotas, are dis
tributed. If tho oiUInal quota of this" par
ticular district was 350 Its credit of forty
will educe the quota to 310.
A revision of the quotas as decided upoa
two weeks ago, when the State military offi
cials admitted that they had failed to con
sider the districts separately when giving
Philadelphia Its credit ror tho number of
voluntary enlistments.
The draft law specifies that each district
shall be treated separately In the matter of
credits, but the State authorities computed
the number of enlistments from the city
and distributed the creaua on a pro rata,
basis among the fifty-one districts..
Draft boards were nartlcularly aqtlve to
day, and hundreds of conscripts underwent
physical examinations. The question of
