"Mr. Wilson has hastened to announce that passports will bs granted to no Amerl- cans for the Stockholm conference. Everywhere among the allies that gathering seems to be regarded as In some sense a move to bring about a German peaces But that Is a mistaken view of the s'tuation. The terms announced by the British Labor party as the basis of its peace program are decidedly not terms that the kaiser will even consider at this time. To fear that for British and other allied labor delegates to talk such terms over with German delegates will corrupt ftje former Is -placing small confidence in the representatives of democracy.

It is legitimate to fear that a discussion of peace terms will weaken the will of the allied peoples to continue the war to victory. But there is another aspect, that Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Wilson must not lose sight of. Rusla wants the Stockholm conference.

It is at her invitation It meets. Anything that will restore Russia's shaken morale will greatly shorten the war. Russia has been assured by paid German agents that the allies fight only for conquest Nothing could so thoroughly disabuie Russian minds of this particular lie than a statement of their respective war aims by allied and German, representatives. And it must never be forgotten that German opinion also must be considered. If people In the allied nations are tiring of the war, still more are the Germrs tiring.

The great mass of the people are held to their tak only by the reiterated' assurances that the allies fight for conquest, and Germany only for defense. Nothing could so greatly take heart out of the German people as the knowledge of just what it is the allies ask. The "allies should welcome the discussion of peace terms, from whatever quarter, so long as meantime the war Is vigorously prosecuted. For the more the discussion, the clearer becomes the justice of the allied purposes, the more sinister the fact that the German government, has never yet made a specific declaration of Ha object.

GOVERNMENT'S NEEDS ARE PARAMOUNT. Washington, Aug. Renewed emphasis was laid by Marshal General Crowder today on the fact that congress framed the army draft law in the interest of the nation, not the individual. For that reason the lines are being drawn tight in the matter of exemptions. The government has acted slowly In bringing home to the people the rigid character of the draft act.

There has been much, discussion of the exemption problem, based on an erroneous view of the law's purpose, which assumed that married men, for instance, would be exempted without question, and that the burden of military duty was to be carried fully by the single men among the ten million registered. General Crowder has taken the position in recent ruling3 that married men will be exempted only when it is to the interest of the government that they should be excused from service. If the removal of the drafted man from his family circle probably would result in the family becoming a public burden, it is to the interest of the government to leave him In his civil occupation. FEAV INDUSTRIAL EXEMPTIONS An interpretation similarly rigid has now been placed on exemption for industrial reasons. The government has faken the lead in scrutinizing closely individual cases among its employes before asking that they be exempted.

Bureau chiefs, who must file affidavits with proper board showing that a man is indispensable before he can be excused, have been instructed to exercise the greatest care. Wherever there is doubt a call military service prevails and po. exemption, is asked. District boards throughout the country have been instructed to make the government's action their guide in dealing with claims for exemption of men in private employment. An employer seeking exemption for a.

man he considers indispensable must firsi make a showing in regard to that business. He must prove to the- board's satisfaction that his industry ia necessary to the public interest or to the maintenance of the military establishment, and supplement this showing with affidavits stating that the particular individual is indispensable to the industry. Circumstances of employment must be stated and reasons given as to why it would impossible to replace the registered man with an- other, not of military age, or with a woman. REVIEW ALL CASES The government is also in a strong position in regard to discharges granted by local selection boards because of dependents. An appeal has been recorded automatically in each case, and it will be po3sibie to re-open it before the district board and make sure that no evasion of duty has been permitted.

The office force at General Crow-der's headquarters has been materi- reduced, and virtually all the of ncers wno nave aided him In th huge task of carrying through the draft now have been detailed to the national army. WILL TEST LAW A test of the constitutionality of the conscription law will come before the United States supreme court on or before August 14, with the docketing of a case which win probably be called, for trial during th court's fall term. The case will come up on a writ of the district court of northern Ohio, where Charles Ruthen-berg, recently Socialist candidate for mayor of Cleveland, Alfred Wagen, knecht, Ohio state secretary of the Socialist party, and Charles Baker, Ohio state organizer of that party, were Convicted of rnncn! subject to the conscription" act to evade that law. They were sentenced to one year in the Canton. workhouse.

FARMERS WILLING TO DO THEIR BIT Senator Simmons Says None of the Objections to War Tax Have Come From Them.

Of the liquor section Senator Sim mons said, the senate committee ac ceptea practically all of the house rates imposed on intoxicating bever ages, and that changes made were due to the passage of the food control bill and the necessity for raising a larger amount of moneythrough taxation. Senator Simmons declared that the farmers were willing to bear their share of the war taxes and that no request for exemption from the provisions of the bill had reached him from them. lie told the senate that the farmers had received returns for their products on the average beyond their most optimistic dreams, and that they would continue to reap a splendid net return under the prevailing prices.

London, Aug. 11. The course of Arthur Henderson in advising yesterday's conference of the Labor party to Rend a representative to the Stockholm conference has been followed quickly by the tender of his resignation a a member of the war cabinet which constitutes the inner council of thu government and the prompt acceptance of the resignHtion by the premier. Premier Lloyd George wrote Mr. Henderson a scathing letter of acceptance in which he practical; accuses Mr.

Henderson of bait faith and duplicity in his dcalingi both with his cabinet colleague and with the laborites, and promptly gave the letter to tlm newspapers. The premier thereby created a situation which puts Mr. Henderson on the defensivw and which may cause the laboritci to retract their decision to send delegates to confer with Germans, Russians and neutrals at the Swedish capital.

They Fierce 'AxistroLGermaii Attack at Brody Is Repulsed Completely by Kerensky's Warriors, BRITISH AND FRENCH KEEP TJP ATTACK An German Counter Attacks in Flanders Are Repulsed, and Allied Armies Edge Forward. (By tha AMOrtated Press) Russia's armies still exhibit increased resisting power in tlie area of the Austro-German, of fensive on the eastern front, while in the west the relentless British and French pressure is showing results-in the further recession of the German line in Flanders. An example of what seems to be the improved moral of the Russians on the Galician front is provided by Petrograd's report of the Teutonic attack at Brody, northeast ot Lemberg, which obvi ously had been in preparation several days. The assault was started Thursday, resulting in heavy fighting as the dense waves of Teutons swept forward, but ending in what the Russian official statement characterizes as complete failure.

The Russian forces still hold here a strip of ualician soil. The Teutonic attack on the part of Rumania still remaining in entente posession now is being pressed from three sides and advances for the of- fensive forces in some sectors are admitted. There appears to be no question of any lack of determination in the Russo-Ilumanian offensive, however, and at some points the Joint entente armies are on the aggressive. Thus, near the Russo-Rumanian frontier, the Austro-German troops were forced to retreat in places with the loss of 400 men in prisoners, in one case being pushed back across the Putna river. MACKENSBX HAS TIARD FIGHTING Field Marshal von Mackensen's offensive In southern Moldavia seems to be giving, the entente command the greatest concern at present, as a highly important line of railway communications along the western Moldavian front is threatened.

Apparently the drive is aimed at the railway junction of Pantzin, possession of which would cut off the branch railway which connects the two lateral lines of communication along this front. The battle Is being waged along the Suchitza river, across which von Mackensen has forced his way to the west of the Fokshani-Ocna railway line. To the east of the railway in the more crucial sector, however, his attacks parently. have been less successful. The Flanders battle, while not yet resumed along the whole front.

has been raging violently east of Ypres. The British gain of ground In the Westhoek region In Friday's attack was maintained In its entirety against six violent German counter attacks delivered Friday night In addition, General Haig troops, on the right flank, where the complete objective was not gained In the first attack, were able to move their lines forward during the night, gaining additional ground. They are now well established on the dominating positions seized In the Friday BERLIV fcLAIMS SUCCESS Berlin's report of this fighting char acterizes it as an unsuccessful attempt along a front of nearly five miles, and mentions particularly the ejection of the British from positions near West hoek. French troops Friday night recaptured most of the ground taken from them the day previously by the: Ger mans In the St. Quentln region.

They also recaptured an Important trench the crown prince's forces had won re cently south of Allies, on the Alsne front, and broke up a German attack on a two-mile front in the Carlllet region in the Champagne. The Ger mans managed to hold on to 56 yards of trenches they had pentrated north of CarnilletTbut otherwise the French lines were kept intact.

The police skirted the line of march preserving order, while shrieking motor cars provided a vanguard that told the citizens that something out of the ordinary was happening. Passing the general offices of the Kansas City Street Railways company, where a conference was in session between representatives of the strkers and the company, the line of march was stopped and the strikers' conferees were cheered.
