Berlin Advices Declare That Russian Lines Have Been
Pierced by New Offensive-London Sees German Effort
to Split Slav Armies-Rus.sians Say Brest-Litovsk Was
Evacuated and Not Taken By Assault
Berlin, via wireless, Aug. 28.
Austro-German forces in Ga
lieia have begun a now offen
sive. After weeks of inactivity
General Von Linaingon has
broken through the .Russian
lines along the Zlota Lipa river,
nn official statement announc
ed today;
O.ccupntion of Narew was also
aunounccd by the war office.
London, Aug. 28. Concentrating
heavy forces against the weakest spots
in the Russian line, the Austro-Gcr-min
forces in the east are attempting
n mighty stroke in seeking to split the
filnv armies into three parts before
winter sets in.
Overwhelming numbers of men and
(inns are being massed against the re
treating Slavs in tho Vilna region,
where Field Marshal Von Hindonburg
is directing the efforts to cut off the
retreat of the Russians. In the souh
rast, Austrian forces, evidently rein
forced by detachments from Field Mar-f-hal
Von Mi.ckensen's command, are
Attempting to move northward through
Kovel. The object of these operations
is to drive a wedge between tho Rus
sians retiring from the Brest-Litovsk
region and the forces of General lvan
off, still holding a section of Oalicia.
By driving toward the Vilna-Petro-fjrad
rnilwny, Field Marshal Von Hin
deuburg hopes to also cut off the arm
ics in this rcgion.from the Sluv center,
Jirest-Lltovsk as the base.
The heaviest blows are being struck
by Von Hindenburg in the north. Dis
patches bore predict he will be heavily
reinforced if great masses of troop's
iiave not already been diverted to aid
in these operations.
Military critics believo tho plan is
for the northern forces to gain a favor
iihlo position for a stroke toward Po
trograd. Russia is now raising a new army of
2,000,000 mon to contest the advance of
ihe Teutonic armie3 beyond the Dvinsk
line, to which the Slavs are now retir
ing. Announcement that this vast new
force is to be thrown into the field
aroused a fooling of optimism in Eng
iind and confidence is expressed that
(lie German strategy, aiming at Petro
(;rnd, will not succeed.
Dispatches here indicate that
Germans are taking comparatively few
jm isuners aim Htne military hooty as
they continue to advance nnd oeeimv
(ho Russian fortresses. Fortification's
are being blown up and the entire coun
try is being laid waste. Crops have
been destroyed and everything that
might be of uso to the German armies
removed or burned.

GALIC
AS
. CAPTAIN GO. OF M
Served As Citizen Soldier For
10 Years From Private
To Captain
With no prospect of actual service
in 'sight and with the affairs of the
company in the most prosperous condi
tion in the history of the company Cap
tain Max Gehlhar of Company M,
Third Infantry, Oregon National Guard,
today tendered his resignation as cap
tain to take effect October 15. This is
the third time that Captain Gehlhar has
tendered his resignation but each time
the prospect of active service has de
terred him but now that the Moxican
scare appears to be over and with the
president at the head of th country
who believes in peace if Buch can bei
nonoramy maintained the possibility ot
war is too remote to appeal to the man
who has been honored to the full ex
tent in the services as a citizen soldier.
In his resignation ho states that his
military duties conflict witih his other j
oiiiciai unties as county ciern ana
private affairs. He tendered his resig
nation on account of interference with
his other work two years ago and again
about a year ago, but they were not
accepted, and he has been urged by the
Militia authorities to remain in the
service.
C'apluin Gehlhar served in the Na
tional Guard for ten years, enlisting as
a private, he has held every rank in
the company from "buck private" in
the rear rank to Company Commander.
The last seven years he" served as a
commissioned officer, and for two and
a hulf years ns captain. The command
of Company M carries with it tho cus
tody of the Armory, which in itself
takes considerable timo. Captnin Gehl
har states that tho duties of a company
commander have been increased, since
he has been in the service, from a littlo
side diversion in iittinding drill once a
week, until now it.occupios so much of.
the captnin 's timo as to constitute it
his main occupation, arid making a liv
ing seems to be considered us a liitlo
side issue. This may bo all rit;ht. for a
regular soldier wbo makes his living
that way, but in the Guard all this
work is dono without compensation.

WALSH SAYS LOW
WAGES IS CAUSE OF
INDUSTRIAL UNREST
Chicneo. Autr. 28. "We find the
basic cuuse of industrial dissatisfaction
to be duo to low wages, or, stated in
another way, to the fact that workers
of the nation through compulsory or
oppressive methods, legal and illegal,
are denied tho full product of their
toil."
Declaring that tie extent and depth
of industrial unrest can hardly be ex
aggerated, Chairman Walsh, of the in
dustrial relation.! commission, today an
nounced this finding in a report which
was concurred in by Commissioners
John B, Lennon, James O'Donnell and
Austin B. Garretson. Walsh pointed
out the concentration of wealth in the
hands of a few, charged oppression and
violence by employers and the turning
of courts, legislatures and governors to
defeat justice. The unrest described
was declared to be the "latest mani
festation of tie age-long struggle of
the race for freedom of opportunity of
every individual to live a life to its
highest ends."
Congress and the people of tho nation
were urgod to give the findings and
conclusions of the report "the most
earnest consideration to the end that
evils which threaten to defeat Amorican
ideals and destroy the well-being of
the nation may be generally recognized
and effectively checked."
Text of the Boport.
, Chairman Walsh's report follows:
' "Charged by your honorable body
with the investigation to discover the
underlying causes of dissatisfaction in
the industrial situation, we present the
followiug findings and conclusions :
" We 7 iud the basic cause of industri
al dissatisfaction to be low wages, or,'
stated, in another way, to the fact that;
workers of the nation through compul
story or oppressive methods, legal and
illegal, are denied tho full .product of
their toil.
"We further find that unrest among
workers of industry has grown to such
proportions that it'nlrendy menaces the
social good. will and peace of the nation.
Citizens numbering millions smart un
der the sense of injustice and oppres
sion, born of conviction that opportun
ity is denied them to acquire for them
selves and their families that degree
of economic well-being necessary for
the enjoyment of material and spiritual
satisfaction which alone make life
worth living.
" Bitterness, bred of unfilled need for
sufficient food, clothing and . shelter
for themselves, their wives and chil
dren, has been further nourished in
the hearts of those millions with resent
ment against the arbitrary power that
enables tho employer, finder our present
industrial system,' to control not only

Sir George Foster, Minister

Ottawa, Aug. 28. Canada has so far

Sir George F. Foster, minister of

Coal Miners and Munition
Factories May Be Closed
By Impending Strike
London, Aug. 28. England's sunnlv
of coal for her munition fnctories and
navy was again threatened toibiv when
the situation in the Welsh coai fields
took a more serious turn.
More than 30,000 of the 200.000 min
ers of Wales are out today and more
are threatening to lay down their tools
Decnuso ot dissatisfaction with the arbi
tration award by which the last Welsh
strike was settled. Reports from Card
iff, Newport and other points today
said the striking miners had refused to
act on the appeal of the federation ex
ecutive council that they return to work
pending an adjustment of tho differ
ences with tho operators.
rrom Newport came word that all
miners in the Monmouthshire district
would probably walk out tonight unless
assurances were given that tho gov
ernment would intorvenc in tho dis
pute on behalf of tho workers. A
walkout is certain, it is declared, if the
conference between representatives of
the reiteration and the government in
London todav don't result in the gov
ernment showing a disposition to recog
nize the claims of tho miners. There
arc now 4,000 or more men out in Mon
mouthshire.
Minister of Munll'ions Lloyd-Oeorge
returned from his usual week-end out
ing today and prepared to moct repre
sentatives of tho miners. Tho deputa
tion from tho minors federation in
tends to demand recognition of all
claims made by the workers.
Conference Not Successful.
London, Aug. 2S. A conference bo-
tween David Lloyd-George, minister of
munitions and representatives of tho
striking coal miners of Wales todav
was inconclusive nnd adjourned until
Monday. Walter Kunclninii, president
of tho board of trade also participated
in the conference. On Mondny Lloyd
George nnd Riincimnn will also confer
with the miiio owners.
Another meeting will bo held on Mon
day when Lloyd-Georgo will also confer
with tho miiio owners. The dissiitisfac
tion is rapidly spreading in Wales and
evidences that it might include even

the utmost concern. Tho threat of a
general coal strike again opens up the
entire question nf munitions and coal

FROM BERLIN OFFICIALS
Administration Believes Germany Will Respect Its Wishes In
Regard to Submarine Warfare and Make Amends For
Past Occurrences-Breach With England Over Shipping

(By Charles P. Stewart)
Washington, Aug. 2S. Tno adminis
tration credits Germany with good faith
in her assurances as to submarino at
tacks, particularly with rogard to tho
promise that full satisfaction will be
givon in the Arabic case, it was stated
on tho best authority today.
The stntonient was mndo In view or
suggestions that tho kaiser was seeking
to start interminable exchanges re
garding tho sinking of the Arabic in
stead of giving full satisfaction nnd
meeting the demands of tho adminis
tration ns to tho conduct of tho sub
marino warfare. It was said that dan
gor in tho controversy with Germany
was considered as practically over.
Nothing is in writing yet, it was stat
ed on official authority, but tiio "im
jiression" has been given of Germany 's
intention to clour away the points
which have been at issue,
This, it was said, is definite enough
to sutisfy the admiiiistiatiou until for

practically amounts to an ultimatum to
Turkey as a result of fresh persecutions
of Greeks in Asia Minor.
It is reliably stated here that 300,0uu
Greeks have been compelled to leave
their hiuiies in Asia Minor and have
been driven into tho interior. Fearing
Greeco would be forced into war before
the Balkan negotiations aro completed
and diplomatic efforts aro exhausted,
the fuels of the persecution at tho hands

It was pointed out that the United
States is under implied obligation to
Germany to adopt as firm a tone to
ward England as it did toward tho kai
sor, and also that interests which havo
suffered severely l'rom the British
blockade will unquestionably insist on
it.
Many doubt that England will yield
to tiio demand that Amorican cargoes
consigned to neutral ports be permitted
to reach thoir destinations unmolested.
Homo believe the administration may
yet bo compollod to considor placing

tions and supplies to tho allies, if Great
Britain is to bo forced to relinquish hor
grip on tho sens. It was admitted such
a step would bo as bad for tho United

weapon in tho hands of this country.
