RUSSIA WILL
SEND NEW ARMY
TO THE FRONT
Revolt Has Been Crushed,
Foreign Minister Tells
the Allies
By Associated Press •
Petrograd, Aug. 2.—Foreign Min
ister Terestchenko has sent the fol
lowing telegram to Russian diplo
matists accredited to the allied pow
ers:
"At a moment when new and
grave misfortunes are threatening
Russia we consider it our duty to
give to our allies who have shared
with us the burden of trials In the
past, a firm and definite explanation
of our point of view regarding the
conduct of the war. The greatness
of the task of the Russian revolution
corresponds to the magnitude which
it caused in the life of the state. Re
organization in the face of the
enemy of the entire governmental
system could not be effected without
serious disorders. Nevertheless Rus
sia, convinced there is no other
means of safety, has continued in
accord with the allies' common ac
tion on the front.
"Fully conscious of the difficulties
of the task, Russia has taken up the
burden of conducting active military
operations during reconstruction of
the' army and the government. The
offensive of our armies, which w&s
necessitated by a strategical situa
tion, encountered insurmountable
obstacles on both fronts and in the
interior of the country. The crim
inal propaganda of irresponsible ele
ments was used by enemy agents
and provoked a revolution in Petro
grad. At the same time part of the
troops on the front were seduced by
the same propaganda, forgot their
duty to the country and facilitated
the enemy, piercing our front.
Revolt Crushed
"The Russian people have been
stirred by these events. Through
the government created by the rev
olution and an unshakable will, the
revolt was crushed and Its origina
tors were brought to justice. All
necessary steps have been taken at
the front for restoring the com
bative strength of the armies.
"The government intends bring
ing to a successful end the task of
establishing an administration cap
able of meeting all dangers and
guiding the country in the path of
revolutionary regeneration. Russia
will not suffer herself to be deterred
by any difficulty in carrying out the
irrevocable decision to continue the
war to a final triumph of the prin
ciples proclaimed by the Russian
revolution.
"In the presence of an enemy
menace the country and the arm>
will continue with renewed courage
the great work of restoration as well
the preparation on the threshold of
the fourth year of the war for the
coming campaign. We firmly be
lieve that Russian citizens will com
bine all efforts to fulfill the sacred
task of defending the beloved coun
try and that the enthusiasm which
lighted in their breast a flame of
faith in the triumph of liberty, will
direct the whole invincible force of
revolution against the enemy who
threatens the country."

THURSDAY EVENING,
U.S. TO TAKE
OVER ALL OCEAN
GOING VESSELS
Charters Will Be Requisi
tioned and Ships Com
mandeered
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 2.—Plans for
taking over for operation all Ameri
can ocean-going merchant ships soon
will be announced by the shipping
board. Charters will be requisitioned
under a recent act of Congress au
thorizing the President to comman
deer tonnage for Government uses.
The program is preliminary to put
ting Into operation an agreement be
tween the American and British gov
ernments for joint control of the
world's shipping. It will give the
shipping board control of ocean
freights, rates charged by American
ships and a rate basis being worked
out will be for building an interna
tional rate schedule.
The chief aim in commandeering
charters is to get more ships into
transatlantic service. Many Ameri
can coastwise vessels and ships now
engaged in the Pacific and South
American trade will be diverted to
transatlantic runs. Their places will
be taken to a large extent by neutral
ships and by Japanese tonnage.
The plan is to commandeer char
ters and. wherever possible, let the
ship itself be operated by its owner
under a government charter. In this
way the Government will direct op
erations and specify services in which
ships shall play and, at the same
time, avoid expenditure of the vast
sum of money that would be required
if the hulls themselves were taken
over.
Wherever operators fail to carry
out the shipping board's regulations,
charters will be taken from them and
given to others.
BATTLING FIERCELY
TO HOLD LINES
[Continued From First Page.]
back to the supporting defenses at
a depth varying between one and
three miles. Artillery activities con
tinued with great intensity, the Brit
ish pouring a steady stream of high
explosive shells into positions which
the Germans now hold, but there
was comparatively little infantry
fighting.
The Allies to-day were busy con
solidating the positions they cap
tured yesterday. Heavy German
counter attacks had been looked for,
but outside of a few local attempts
to regain positions these did not ma
terialize. This was, perhaps, due
partly to the heavy rain, which con
tinued withemt cessation since last
right, filling shell holes with water
and turning the ground into a deep
mud. over which it is difficult to
fight.
Gorman Guns Active
The German guns, however, many
of which had been withdrawn to po
sitions farther back before the rain
began, have been carrying on
a steady bombardment, especially
against the territory captured by the
Allies in the northern side of the
Ypre.s salient, but their tiring has
been more or less erratic because of
the storm, which blocked the work
of observation officers. As usual,
the Germans are employing great
quantities of gas shells.
Due to the complete preparation
made for yesterday's assault, the
British casualties have not been ex
cessive. but the condition of the bat
tlefields and statements by prisoners
indicate that the German losses were
exceedingly heavy. The British med
ical corps has again evinced a most
complete organization. At 8 o'clock
last night all British wounded had
been collected and brought back to
emergency stations. More than 4,000
prisoners, with some 60 officers, were
taken by the British in the Ypres
falient alone.
Teutons Lack Stamina
Prussians, Bavarians and Saxons
all have given of their number to
swell the total captured and no more
dejected appearing men have been
seen in British prison stations since
the beginning of the war. Particu
larly noticeable was the scarcity of
veteran noncommissioned officers,
and the large number of youths from
the 1918 class, who are nothing more
than raw recruits. One veteran of
many battles freely expressed his
contempt for these youngsters, who,
he said, lacked s-.tamina to stand up
under the hardships of war and
could not be depended upon In a
tight place such as they found them
selves facing yesterday.
A majority of these prisoners
were a miserable, sorry looking? lot.
many of them suffering from in
ternal complaints caused by exposure
and the majority from hunger. Few
of them have any hopes of Ger
many's winning the war and one of
ficer ventured the opinion that the
lime of the fatherland's downfall was
near. He based his opinion largely
on the scarcity of men, and certainly
boyish faces now in prison cages ap
pear to be indicative of a lack of
human material.
Airplanes Cover Troops
Despite Bad Weather
By Associated Press
London Aug. 2.—The official war
office statement on the battle in
Klanders. issued yesterday, says:
In spite of the weather, which made
flying almost Impossible, our air
planes kept in contact with our ad
vancing infantry throughout the day.
"Hie enemy's airdromes, transport and
iitfantry were also successfully at
tacked with bomb? and machine gun
fire. The few enemy machines that
attempted to fly were attacked and
six of them were brought down. Three
of our machines are missing.
"The number of German prisoners
captured in July was 4.039, of whom
eighty-flve were officers. These fig
ures Include such of the prisoners as
were captured in yesterday's opera
tions who reported at the collecting
stations by 6 p. m. The captured ma
terial includes eight field guns, flfty
three rfiachine guns and thirty-two
trench mortars."
Gen. Brussilofi Resigns;
Korniloff in Command
By Associated Press
Petrograd. Aug. 2.—General Alexis
A. Brussiloff, commander in chief of
the Russian armies, has resigned.
General L, G. Korniloff, commander in
chief of the Kussian armies on the
southwestern front, has been appoint
ed generalissimo. General Tcherem
issoff. commander of the Eighth army,
has been appointed to succeed Gen
eral Korniloff on the southwestern
front.
Russian army commanders had a
conference at headquarters recently
and virtually sent an ultimatum to
Premier and War Minister Kerensky
that unless the army was kept out
side politics and treated merely as
fighting machines they would resign
as being unable to carry on the war.
The correspondent believed the ulti
matum will be accepted.

KAISER'S EDICT
CALLED 'WHINE'
Direct Peace Bid in Royal
Proelamation, British
Papers Assert
London, Aug. 2.—The Kaiser's
proclamation to the German people
disclaiming "the empty shadow of
ambition and schemes of conquest"
is regarded here as much the most
direct of the long series of peace bids
that are being voiced in Berlin and
Vienna.
Coming simultaneously with the
opening of the allies' greatest offen
sive, it is a warning to Germany.
"The enemy is stretching out his
hands toward Germany, but he shall
never have it. New nations continue
to enter the war against us." This
is interpreted as more of a plea for
the allies to state their peace terms
than anything that has occurred
thus far.
Warnnig to Germany
The imperial pronouncement com
bines, in the British view, a warn
ing to the German people of greater
hardships ahead and an invitation to
the allies to indicate their peace
terms, assuring them more directly
than ever before that Germany is
willing to consider conditions which
last autmn were utterly excluded,
at the time when Germany flew
peace kites labeled "Look at the
war map."
There have ben no allusions to the
war map recently, least of all in this
utterance, which the London even
ing papers characterize as a whine.
Fourth Winter Feared
It is unquestione ltn the most au
thoritative circles in London and
Paris that the German government
Is desperately fearful of the conse
quences of a fourth winter of war.
Austria is putting terrific pressure
on Germany to make a peace move,
while important elements In Ger
many are strongly supporting Vien
na, especially in Bavaria and Wur
temburg.

Watchman Hurt After
Fire Which it Is Believed
Gang of Boys Started
Claire Wolf. 1714 Fulton street, was
painfully cut on the left arm yester
' day morning, when he fell from the
root f a house in Logan street to the
ground floor. Mr. Wolf was cut by
tin, which he was tearing from the
roof of the row of houses partly de
stroyed by fire Tuesday evening.
The fire was started by boys play
ing in the houses. Efforts are being
made to arrest the lads, whose ages
range from 12 to 15 years. Mr. Wolf
was employed to watch the h<>use
during tne course of construction and
was attending to his duties in another
part of an adjoining row when the
alarm was turned in. Although he
lost considerable blood, his cndttion
is not regarded as serious.
TWO HELD FOR SELLING
BOOZE TO SOLDIERS
Frank E. Baker, a pitcher on the
Gettvsburg baseball team, and Hugo
Clement, also of Gettysburg, were
vesterday held for United States
Court at a hearing at Gettysburg.

to soldiers In uniform.
GUARDSMAN IMPROVING
Edward Wilson, a member of the
Supply Company of the Eighth Regi
ment, who is confined to the Harrls
burg Hospital suffering from the ef
fects of taking bichloride of mercury
tablets, is improving. The tablets
were given him inadventently by an
other soldier to relieve him of an at
tack of headache.
DENNIS TURNS UP SAFE
The missing Dennis Gilbert, 1747
North Twelfth street, reported at the
police station last night and said the

I wife, who had been anxious lest he
| wpuld not return, was overjoyed at
his homecoming.

WANT TO EXEMPT
MEDICO STUDENTS
Wrong to Cut Off Supply of
Doctors, State Board
Holds
Decision of the War Department
not to permit drafted medical stu
dents to complete their education in
college or to allow furlough in such
cases until after graduation Is bit
terly resented by the State Bureau
of Medical Education and Licensure
in resolutions adopted at a meeting
here to-day.
The bureau takes exception to the
assertions of the Federal authori
ties that such students would be
fitted by actual experience in the Held
for the general practice of medi
cine and says that to stop the source
of supply of medical men would
"result in a grosser and more offen
sive error in matters medical than
England made and now sadly recog
nizes" and would b6 an "obvious
blunder."
The bureau says that it "desires
to make emphatic denial of the
statement that any type of field
training, even in medical service, and
much less In general service, would
properly qualify or legally qualify a.
man to enter civil practice in this
State or In any other State having
a medical hoard," and that It "would
be a grave wrong to so deceive these
young men."
It is the opinion of the board
that all medical students and pre
medical students should not only
be exempted from military duty but
should be urged to continue their
medical studies In order that a sup
ply of medical men for both mili
tary and civil services be available
for the immediate future.
PERSHING TO MOVE HIS
HEADQUARTERS FRONT

ranks as to how things were going
and what. If anything, could be done
to Improve the situation.
The General also inspected pa
rlous places suggested for his field
headquarters, for he expects before
very long to remove from Paris near
the troops in training. He will re
turn to Paris late to-morrow.
Pershing Is Pleased
At the end of the first day s In
spection General Pershing said. Our
principal concern just now, of course-
Is to perfect the army organization.
This is a big task, but it Is moving
along smoothly and in most satisfac
tory manner. '
"The work at certain ports of dis
embarkation is well started. Rail
road material is coming over as rap
idly as can be arranged. The P?R
ress we have made thus far with the
assistance of the French is a source
of great satisfaction to me. Billets
and training ground for men are as
well located as could be expected at
this time of the year, when space Is
limited by crops in the fields.
Training Progresses
"After these are removed we will
have plenty of space for lodging and
training the divisions that are to
come. Some of the places where men
are now sleeping are not all that
could be desired, but this soon will
be remedied by the construction of
portable barracks. Training is pro
gressing very well wjth the assist
ance of the French."
General Pershing was untiring in
his Inspection of the training area.
He inquired Into every phase of the
men's dally life, the character and
the quantity of their food even to
the disposition of garbage which ho
found was going to French farmers
who were delighted to have this
matter.
