plant and report for work at an adja
cent plant where the same scheme was
worked again.

NORTHERN JAPAN
AUSTRIA TO STRIKE
New Offensive on Italian Front
Seems Near.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS CITED
Conference of Two War Lords, Clos
ing of Swiss Frontier, Visit of
Karl to Trentino . Believed
Precursors of Attack.
Chile Is Liberal to Cause.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. The Red
Cross war council was notified today
that during the Red Cross war fund
drive in Chile, which ended July C, a
total of ilis.nrtn wan collected.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. Resumption
of the Austrian offensive on the Italian
front is to be expected at any time, ac
cording to the military, critic of th
Italian newspaper Corriere D'ltalla,
says a dispatch received here from
Rome.
The military critic bases his predic
tlon on such recent events as the clos
ing of the Swiss frontier, the visit of
Emperor Karl to the Trentino and the
conference at German military bead
quarters.
Commenting on the meeting of the
German and Austrian Emperor, the
Italian newspaper declares that it must
be taken as new proof that the hope o
separating Austria from Germany is
mad delusion.
The Idea Nationals says the meeting
of the Emperors is in direct conse
quence of the steps taken by the allies
in Russia.
AMSTERDAM. Aug. 10. Owing to the
multiplicity and complexity of ques
tions discussed and the short time
Hotted to the recent conference of the
Austrian and German Emperors, details
could not be discussed, says the Frem
enblatt of Vienna, Fundamental lines
only were laid down, the newspaper
says, to be elaborated at future de
liberations of the two rulers.
This especially refers to the Polish
question." the iremdenblatt continues,
and public opinion in Vienna agrees
with the government that the Polish
nation must co-operate in plans for
the creation of a new Polish state.'
The newspaper says Poland must
cast the decisive vote In the election
of a king, but it tnuot be cast in ac
cordance with the "vital interests of
Austria-Hungary and Germany."
ROME. Aug. 19. The American Con
gressional naval committee, headed by
Representative Lemuel P. Padgett, of
Tennessee, left Rome today for the
Austro-Italian battlefront.
King Victor Emmanuel will reoelve
the members of the committee on Tues

tle lines the Americans will start for
Paris on Wednesday.
presented by Secretary Morrison, of
the American Federation of Labor, who
declared labor is loyal, strikes are
not "appreciable" and the Senate
amendment would bring the odium of
"slackers" upon working men and be
bitterly resented.
Covert Action Suggested.
Mr. Morrison suggested that big em
ploying Interests were secretly behind
the legislation, which he denounced un
sparingly as a covert plan to put into
effect a policy of labor conscription.
The House committe had hoped to
report out the bill today, but the Mc
Kenzie and other amendments caused
the withholding of final action until to
morrow. There was also said to be
disposition by committee members who
opposed the original draft law and
other administrative measures to hold
up action on the manpower measure.
The War Department was under
stood to have been criticised sharply
during the committee session. Tomor
row the committee plans to perfect the
McKenzie amendment, action pending
minor amendments, and report the
measure to the House preparatory .to
consideration Thurffday.
Youths' May Get Commissions.
Pending amendments include the pro
posal of Chairman Dent to remove re
strictions against the granting of
commissions to youths under 21 years
of age and that of Representative Mc-J
Kenzie to write into law the existing
draft regulations requiring service of
married men who do not support their
families.
The McKenzie amendment to defer
the calling of youths of 18 and 19,
adopted by the committee today, reads:
"Provided, however, that registrants
of the age of 19 years and not over
20 shall be designated as 'class 19,'
and shall be drafted subsequent to
registrants of the age of 20 and over
10 years; and registrants of the age
of 18 years and not over 19 years shall
kbe designated as 'class 18,' and shall
be called for service last; those reg
intrants above the age of 20 shall be
called prior to those In the classes
hereby created.

Policy Made Mandatory.
The amendment makes mandatory

ment. - -
Representative Kahn, holding his
views, expressed the belief that the
amendment would be rejected by the
House.
Chairman Dent and others of the com
mittee, who expressed themselves as
dissatisfied with Secretary Baker's
promise to make regulations for a sepa
rate: class for 18-year-oJd boys and
defer their call as long as possible,
were confident that the House would
retain the amendment.
If it is adopted by the House a sharp
controversy : in conference Is expected,
as the Senate bill retains the Adminis

tion in establishing calls.

Quarters here.
Not only wholesalers and middlemen
dealing in food products, and especially
in rice, but even the Japanese farm
ers who grow the grain, nave Dee
holding back- their stores and demand
ing greatly Inflated prices.
Now that the Japanese government
has seized these stores of rice prepara
tory to distributing them to the peo
pie at reasonable prices, it is believed
here the popular discontent will D
allayed.
There has also been difficulty In the
matter of transportation, Japan shar
ing with the allies, in the need for suf
ficient ocean bottoms. Consequently
the procurement of rice from the usual
sources in British India and biam ha
been obstructed.

FOE HELD DELUDED
German Paper Exposes False
Arguments of Junkers.
NATION SEVERELY JOLTED
to Possess
Misled
Recent Events Declared
Deep Significance for
People Americans Admit
ted to Be in Fight.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Deceptive
arguments used in the past by the
German junkers to mislead the people
are summarized by the Hamburg Echo
in its issue of August 12, with the
comment, "The German people are now
paying for all this." A State Depart
ment dispatch today quotes the German
paper as saying:
Events of the last week have a
deep significance for the nation and its
rulers. The following Pan-German ar
guments deceive the rulers themselves
nd others:
" 'The Americans are blurring ana
will never declare war."
' 'That if war Is declared, America
Is arming itself against Japan and will
not send soldiers to Europe.'
" 'That the submarine would sink the
troops.'
" 'That the submarine would blockade
France.'
" 'That England would be starved out
by the submarine.'
"'That Germany's firm attitude to-
ward the United States would bring
the neutrals to their side.
AMSTERDAM, Aug. 20. Professional
soldiers, like Generals von Slums and
von Liebert, do not seek to belittle the
significance of the American Army on
the west front.
General von Blume, who is on the re
tired list, writes an article on the sub
ject which appears in the Rheinische
Westfaelische Zeitung, of Essen. He
frafikly admits that "we have to recog
nize that the Americans have done
very smart work, and it will be a very
serious thing if the German army com
mand has to face an American fighting
Army of millions.
General von Liebert, who was former
German commandant at Lodz and who
now is military critic of the Taeg
lische Rundschau, of Berlin, tells the
public that the American Army has
actually become a big factor and the
debarkations in France' are proceeding
regularly.
General von Liebert says the French
and British owe their recent successes
to their trans-Atlantic ally, without

Boiling' points
tne real Tesr
of gasoline .
Some motorists still judge the value
of gasoline by the antiquated gravity,
test. But boiling points are the only
real measure of gasoline value.
Low boiling points give easy start
ing, medium boiling points give
quick and smooth acceleration and
high boiling points give power and
mileage.
As combustion starts with the low
est boiling points and flashes on
through the medium to the highest,
the chain must be complete for full
powered results.
Onlya straight-distilled gasoline can
have the continuous, uniform chain
of boiling points. Mixtures always
have "holes" in them.
Red Crown, the Gasoline of Qual
ity, is a straight-distilled, all-refinery
fuel having; the full and com
plete chain of low boiling points
for easy starting, medium boiling
points foi; quick and smooth accel
eration and high boiling points for
