REPARATION TO BE SOUGHT
Restoration of - Belgium and , Serbia
to Be Demanded, Asqaitb Says.
Economic Policy When Feace
, Comes Not Aimed at Neutrals.
LONDON, Aug-. 2. Premier 'Asquith.
In discussion in the House of Commons
today on the resolutions of the .Paris
economic conference, said the British
government had entered the conference
with two objects in view.-" JThe first
was to convince the central powers
that the entente allies, whatever' their
views on the economic policy, were re
solved to wage war in complete unity
and determination in economic as In
military spheres. The second Was to
make preparation for the period fol
lowing the declaration' of peace. In
view of the known attitude and will' of
the Germans.
"Our eyes have been -opened," said
the Premier, "as to the meaning of the
manifold ramifications of the German
system of economic penetration and
commercial and financial control of
vital interests and the use to which,
with advantage, this system could be
put in time of war."
Germany Already Preparing.
"Germany," Mr. Asquith said, "would
be animated with the same spirit when
the war was over. ' The Germans al
ready were organizing their industries
for an attack on the markets of the
entente allies," he said, "and for a vig
orous, if possible, attack en neutral
markets."
The Germans would start with obvi
ous advantages, the Premier continued,
through their action in destroying the
works and factories in the "invaded
countries, and because of the fact that
they had a large maritime fleet safely
Interned in German and neutral ports,
It would be necessary to make prepa
rations for the coming of peace, and
the resolutions of the conference rep
resented the general lines upon which
these preparations would proceed.-
Premier Asquith repeated that It was
an essential condition to peace that
Belgium and Serbia be restored, not
only politically, nationally and diplo
matically, but materially and economi
cally, to the positions in which they
stood before the war. The devastated
districts of France and Poland would
be similarly treated.
Allies Kot Target.
Dealing briefly with the measures
proposed for the course of the war and
during the period of reconstruction.
Premier Asquith said it was the
bouuden duty of the allies to take every
step to Becure for their own use the
Fnppl.es produced by their own coun
tries. As for permanent measures for
mutual assistance and collaboration
among the allies, these would be left to
each country, consistent with, the pur
pose of promoting economic independ
ence of hostile countries. He empha
sised the point that the resolutions
were not aimed at neutrals.
Reviewing the situation In general.
Premier Asquith emphasized two points,
first, the determination of the allies to
obtain reparation for the devastated
areas, and second, that "these resolu
tions are not aimed at neutrals."
"The attention of the Government,'
continued the Premier, "has been called
to the fact that some apprehension has
airisr.n in neutral countries, more es
pecialiy in the United States, with re
gard to these resolutions, that the
resolutions might be directed against
neutrals. This is not the case. The
resolutions contemplated only neces
ssry measures of self-defense against
economic aggression threatening the
allies "most vital interests and in car
rying them into effect, every endeavor
will be made to insure neutrals against
damage." .
"There was no more hardened free
trader than he," said the Premier, "but
no one could be blinded to the fact
that this war with its upheaval of so
cial, political and industrial conditions
suggested new problems and modifica
tions In the solution of all problems."

RUSSIANS DRIVE ON
Fall of Kovel and Lemberg Re
garded as Imminent.
RETREAT MAY BE CUT OFF
Flank Movement on Von Bothmer's
Army Threatens Railroad on
AVhich 100,000 Men Depend
for Retirement If Beaten.
BT ARTHUR S. DRAPER.
LONDON, Aug. 2. (Special.) The
tremendous series of battles for Kovel
and Lemberg continued today. Jo de
velop successfully for the Russians and
the capture of both places is now con
sidered by military experts to be as
sured. So strong is this feeling that
attention is already being turned to the
situation as It will be after their fall
to the question of what line the Aus-
tro-German forces will next attempt to
hold, and as to how successful they
will be In withdrawing their shattered
armies to it.
Little definite information as to the
day's fighting can be drawn from
either the Russian or allied official
statements. Both record Teutonic
counter attacks, the Germans claim
ine success and the Russians defeat
for them. The Germans also say that
Russian blows both against the Stripa
line and the new German positions west
of the Stokhod were repulsed. '
Russians Nearlng Kovel.
Information reaching here, however,
shows that the Russians are continuing
their advance on .all fronts. At the
northern end of the battle line, be
tween the two railroads diverging from
Kovel, they are eported to be only
15 miles from the city. Farther south
they have widened and deepened the
wedge they are driving Detween tne
German and Austrian sectors of the
line, until the separation is almost
complete and co-operation between the
two will be almost impossible until
thev have retreated many miles.
The Stripa lines of Von Bothmer's
army are apparently still holding, in
spite -of the increasing threat from the
north. South of that more Russian at
tacks are taking place. It. is here that
the Germans claim success, but pri
vate advices say the Russians are con
tinuing to sweep to the flank and rear
of this army and are almost within
striking distance of the railroad from
Tarnopol to Lemberg, running through
Brezezany. which is the only line open
for the retreat of Bothmer's army of
more than 100,000 men.
Wedge Driving Onward.
Thus enveloping movements are pro
gressing rapidly against Kovel, Lem
berg and Bothmer's forces. The armies
of Von Boehm-Ermolll and Von Llnsin
gen are believed incapable of offering
any serious resistance to the wedge
which is being forced between them,
and it Is taken for granted that, no
matter how well the salients hold, the
Russians will soon be on the flank of
both the cities aimed at.
The drive at Vladimir Volynskl is
also opening the way for the capture
of Lemberg. since it exposes the left
flank of Von Llnslneen's army, de
fending the city. With General Let-
chltsky's forces advancing up the Zlota
LI pa, the defenders of the Gallcian cap
ital are being caught in the ' jaws of )
The day was comparatively quiet, ex
cept tor hostile artillery activity
against ?ronea wood.
"During the last 2-t iours our artil
lery, in co-operation -vith the flying
corps, destroyed seven gun emplace
ments and six ammunition damps near
Grandecourt and also further emplace
ments on other parts of the front.
"A tew hostile aeroplanes crossed
our lines for a short distance, but were
quickly driven back. One was brought
down and another damaged. The enemy
appears anxious to'-- avoid aerial com
bats." Italian.
ROME, Aug. ' 2. An Italian aerial
squadron dropped four tons of high ex
plosives on the Whitehead torpedo and
submarine works .west of Fiume In
Hungary yesterday, seriously damaging
the plant, the announcement adds.
The official statement today follows:
"Further information received shows
the serious nature of the defeat suffered
by the enemy in the lighting in the
Astico Valley on Monday. After
heavy bombardment of the whole line
between Tovo and the A sua Valley, the
enemy made demonstrations on Monte
Seluggio and on Castellatto and at
tacked In force on MoDte Clmone, but
were defeated with heavy loss.
"As enemy aircraft bad on July 27
attacked Italian open towns on the
lower Adriatic without ny military ob
ject, one of our strong Caproni squad
rons yesterday bombarded the White
head torpedo and submarine works,
three kilometers west of Flume. In
spite of the heavy fire of anti-aircraft
artillery and attacks by enemy aero
planes, our aviators succeeded in drop
ping four tons of high explosives,
which did much damage to the works."
Wednesday's War Moves
THE armies in the three great cen
ters of recent activity the Somme
region of France, Russia and Galicla
evidently have let up considerably in
the fighting In which they- have been
engaged, and are indulging in a breath
ing spell preparatory to further attacks
and counter attacks. The official com
munications dealing with the opera
tions In these theaters Wednesday tell
of no single Important engagement nor
of any notable changes In the positions
of any of the belligerents.
Attacking in Echelon on a three
mile line from the Meuse River to
Fleury. north of Verdun, the French
have captured se. -ral German trenches
and organized points of support. In.
the engagement 600 Germans were
made prisoners and 10 machine guns
were captured. ' '
On the Russian front Petrograd re
ports merely artillery- duels and In
fantry attacks by small detchmenta,
while Berlin tells of Russian atacks on
the Stokhod and Turla Silver fronts and
of local Russian offensives on the
Stripa in Galicla, all of which were
repulsed.
Attacks by the Austrian against the
Italians at various points, including
Monte Clmone, Mont Celuggio and
Castellato, have been repulsed with
heavy casualties, according to Rome.
The Russians are keeping up their
advance against the Turks In the Cau
casus region.
The Germans have carried out an
other raid on the eastern counties of
England, the third- durln j the present

BT ARTHT7R S. DRAPER.
LONDON, Aug. 2. (Special.) A se
ries of terrific hand-to-hand lights on
the Verdun front. In which the advan
tage lay on the whole with the French,
though the Germans also gained a little
ground today, overshadowed the Somme
front fighting in the public mind here.
There was slttle change in tne feomme
sector, where the allies are still rear
ranging their guns in preparation for
the next blow. The British gained a
few yards in small but fierce encounters
east of Poxieres. and the French drove
the Germans from a strongly fortified
work between the Hem wood and
Monacu. They are now clearing up
the work, and have found more than
100 bodies of German soldiers and four
machine guns.
The Germans made a vicious counter
attack near High woods, where there
is a salient in the Brltieh lines, but
were unable to get near the trenches.
They admit the loss of the Hem fort,
saying that It wag entirely destroyed
before they abandoned it.
The tropical heat still continues, and
no Important action Is likely till the
weather moderates. ,
Craira Prlnee Tries Again.
The Verdun fighting was openod by
the Germane), who after several fruit
less attempts which cost them terrlflo
losses, succeeded in driving the French
from a height north of Fort Souville.
The fighting there has almost reached
the violence which it had before the
Somme offensive started, and it is be
lieved here that the Crown Prince, who
never lacks troops no matter how much
other parts of the line may suffer, is
about to make one more bid for the
great victory he so badly needs.
The French turned the tables during
the day by a series of attacks a little
north of the German success and near
the Thiaumont work. They carried
trench after trench, clearing the Fleury
ravine and extending their, lines west
and south of the fort. In the opera
tions they captured about 600 Germans
and 10 machine guns. The Germans
counter attacked desperately, but were
unaoie lo recoup tneTr losses.
Aerial Battles More Frequent. -
A feature of the west front flzhtlnsr.
which Is developing more and more in
favor of the allies, is the aerial war
fare.. The French and British both
seem to have established control of
the fi.tr. While they have frequent
losses, it is noticed that the aeroplane
batties are almost all over the German
lines, and that the Germans are less
inclined to cross Into allied territory.
Today a few German . machines, at
tempted to do so. but were driven back.
General Halg remarks that they "seem
anxious to avoid aerial combats." The
French airmen took part In 33 encoun
ters, all over the enemy's lines. One
German plane was sent . biasing to
earth, and 14 others were so injured
that they either planed down or re
treated. The exact losses could not
be determined, since the crippled ma
chines fell among tbeir friends.

FINAL REPLY IS INDICATED
Women's Hope for Change of Mind
Before Their Xatlonal Conven
tion Is Dispelled by AVhlto
House Statement.
WASHINGTON, Aug 2. President
Wilson has not changed his position
that the woman suffrage question
should be dealt with by the states, it
is announced today at the White
House. The statement was brought
forth by the announcement yesterday
of Charles E. Hughes, the Republican
nominee, that he favored an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution giv
ing the vote to women.
A delegation of suffragists saw the
President yesterday and afterward in
dicated they believed he would make
a new statement on the question befora
the convention of the National Woman
Suffrage Association in September. At
that time the policy to be pursued in
the Presidential campaign wi'l be de
termined by the National suffrage or
ganization.
Today Secretary Tumulty discussed
the question with the President and
afterwards announced that Mr. Wil
son's position on the subject was un
changed. This position, as outlined
several times to suffragist delegations
within the last three years, is that
while he favors votes for women he is
opposed to Federal action.
The President voted for woman suf
frage in New Jersey last year.
it was indicated that Today s an
nouncement was final.
TROOPS' SPIRIT IS GOOD
V. M. C.
A. MAN SAYS OREGON BOYS
ARB FARING WELL,
Local Secretary Back Front Border
Visit Says Army Realises t'a
prrpsredness at Start.
The condition of the Oregon boys at the
border Is in every way satisfactory, ac
cording to L. B. Rhodes, state secretary
of the T. M. C. A., who has recently re
turned after a visit of several weeks
In the various troop camps. "Living
conditions - seem to be good down
there," said Mr. Rhodes, "and every
thing possible has been done to make
the troops comfortable. The cooking
has aroused no great complaint. Pos
sibly a few of the company cooks lack
skill, but on the whole, our soldiers
are living well."
Mr. Rhodes reports that the troops
are preparing to make an extended
stay at the border: "The spirit seems
to be good, however. There may be
a certain element that chafes at the
-vuncertalnty, but most of them are ready
for whatever happens. They feel that
a few months ago there would have
been little hope of carrying on a suc
cessful campaign In Mexico. But the
United States is rapidly recovering from
its state of unpreparedness, and in a
few more months will be well prepared
for military action. The stay at the
border will not be temporary. Judging
by present Indications. They are put
ting floors In the tents, and installing
all possible comforts for a prolonged
stay."
The work of the Y. M. C A. at the
border has been particularly appreciat
ed by the men. At El Paso, where
there are from SO.OOO to 60,000 men,
the Y. M. C A. has carried on a won
derful work, he said.

PEACE TALKS BELITTLED
GERMAN' COMMITTEE SPEAKS IX
GENERALITIES OXLV.
Aadleaee la Berlin Is Warned Agalut
Expecting er Demanding Too
Mack Kress Results at War.
BERLIN, via London. Aug. 2. The
announced meetings of the national
committee for securing an honorable
peace were held In about 40 of the larg
er, cities of Germany last eight, but
at none ot the meetings did the mod
erates give any precise statement con
cerning the conditions ot peace as the
moderates would like to see them. The
speakers usually dwelt on generalities,
rarely going behind the Chancellor's
declaration with regard to peace.
Professor Adolph Harnack was a
speaker at the Berlin meeting In the
great Philharmonic Hall. He made no
surprising statements regarding the
alms of the war. which he specified as
the thrusting back of Russia from
Eastern Europe, where she was an In
truder, to the East, where she had her
mission, and a termination of the sit-
uation on the west, where England
was the uncontrolled ruler of the sea
and Belgium her vassal.
Professor Harnack warned his audi
tors against expecting or demanding
too much from the results of the war,
as Germany must remember the lot of
ber confederates as veil as her own
suocess. He appealed to his hearers to
have confidence In the administration,
which he said had done its utmost to
prevent the war and the attitude ot.
which toward certain neutrals history
would some day Justify.
