The probability is that, while Gov­ ernor Lowden appreciates the neces­ sity for bringing coal down to a rea­ sonable price, action by him and by the state council of defense will await congress' action, favorable or otherwise, on the Pomerene amend­ ment now pending. Intimations to this effect were con­ veyed on the return last night of Chair­ man Samuel Insull and three other jaembers of the state council from a Conference with Governor Lowden and Lieutenant Governor Oglesby at Springfield, and at which the report of the special committee of the council on Its negotiations with the coal opera­ tors was presented.

Previsions of Child Labor Lmm* Differences between the old Illinois child labor law and the ene which h«s lust jrone into effect are causing no little perplexity to the employers "and parents of Children, and the children themselves. Formerly all an ambi­ tious child had to do was to apply to the superintendent of schools for a permit to work; now the child, the^f' parents and the prospective employer have to apply. " Chief points at variance, which to even most of the legislators would be difficult to outline, are given explana­ tion in the attached statement of Su­ perintendent of Schools Hugh S. Ma- gill, who is chairman of the legislative committee of the Illinois Teachers' as­ sociation. The statement follows: "Under the provisions of the new Illinois child labor law, enacted by the last general assembly and in force since July 1, 1917, it la very much more difficult for a child to obtain an employment certificate than under the old law. The new law requires that children between the ages of fourteen and sixteen shall obtain an employ­ ment certificate before being permitted to work at any employment, and chil­ dren under sixteen years old are not allowed, under any "condition, to he engaged in a list of forbidden emloy- ments stated in the law. "To obtain an employment certifi­ cate a child must be between four­ teen and sixteen years old, must have completed at least the fifth grade in school, and must have atteudea school at least 130 days during the previous year or between his thirteenth and fourteenth birthdays. "The child must obtain from his prospective employer a written state­ ment that he has been offered em­ ployment, and giving the character of the work, the number of hours per day and the number of days per week that he will be expected to work. "If the employer's statement Is found satisfactory by the superintend­ ent of schools, or by someone author­ ized by the superintendent to issue employment certificates, the child must then be examined by a phyisclan appointed by the board of education, and the physclan must certify that the child Is physically fit to perform the kind of work set forth in the em­ ployer's statement Must Bring School Certificate. "The child must also bring a school certificate from his principal, giving the facts from the school records with respect to his parent or guardian, resi­ dence, school attendance and grade, and he must present a birth certificate or other documentary evidence show­ ing that he is between fourteen and sixteen years of age. The pareut or guardian of the child must accompany him to the office of the superintendent of schools when he applies for the em­ ployment certificate. *The employment certificate Is not given to the child, but IS issued In triplicate, one copy being sent by mail to the employer, one copy to the de- partujent of labor and the third copy filed In the office of the board of edu­ cation. "If the child who has been Issued an employment certificate quits work, he must obtain a statement from another employer and be re-examined by the examining physician in order to ob­ tain another employment certificate. "The law provides heavy penalties for the violation of any of Its provi­ sions by the parent or guardian of the child, the employer or the official issu­ ing the certificate. The requirements are so strict that there will, undoubt­ edly, be many less certificates Issued than under the old law. "A special provision of the new law reads as follows: 'Provided that nothing In this section shall be con­ strued to prevent any minor under the age of fourteen years from doing vol­ untary work of a temporary and harm­ less character, for compensation, ^vhen school is not in-session.' This pro­ vision of the law makes it possible for children to work at certain easy, harmless employment during their summer vacations without an employ­ ment certificate. MA complete set of new blanks is being prepared to meet the require­ ments of the law, and the board of education will appoint an examining physician at its next meeting." BBSS CHIEF ID SHUT KERENSKY REFUSES TO REtIGN WHIUE COUNTRY IS THREAT-, i&ED WITH 'DCPKiMft PEACE NOW IS IMPOSSIBLE Foreign "Minister Declares Slavs Must Prepare to Fight Throughout Win- ter--Says Kerensky Alone Wao Nation's Confidence. Petrograd, Aug. 7.--Premier Keren- ski has returned to Petrograd and withdrawn his resignation. He attend­ ed a ministerial meeting on Saturday evening and afterward conferred with various political leaders. M. Kerensky has issued a manifesto In which he declares that he considers it impossible when the country is threatened with defeat without and disintegration within to refuse the heavy task again intrusted to him, which he regards as an express order from the country to construct a strong revolutionary government to carry out the principles already laid down. "At the same time," said the mani­ festo; "I consider It Inevitable to Intro­ duce changes in the order and distribu­ tion of government work without al­ lowing myself to be Influenced by the thought that these changes will In­ crease my responsibility In the su­ preme direction of the affairs of state." M. Kerensky's action followed close Upon an all-night political conference which Is declared. as the most mo- mentour assemblage within the coun­ try's history of the last 300 years. "Peace for Russia is inconceivable," former Minister Tereschenke assert* ed at this conference. "Russia must prepare to fight throughout the coming winter," the foreign minister declared, adding that Alexander Kerensky alone has the na­ tion's confidence." By a vote of 147 to 46 a Joint meet­ ing of the executives of the work­ men's and soldiers' and peasants' coun­ cils confirmed the decision of the all- night political conference of continued confidence In Premier Kerensky. The duma committee also has con­ firmed the vote of confidence In M. Kerensky. Russian troops operating east of Czernowltz, Bukowina, attacked the. Austro-German forces and captured a wood near Balrarl, together with more than 500 prisoners and three machine guns, it Is announced in the official statement.

Major General Maurice, Chief Director of British Military Operationa, Says Flanders' Fight Success. London, Aug. 4.--"Looking from the broader aspect at the events ot the last fortnight In Russia," said MaJ. Gen. Frederick B. Maurice, chief direc­ tor of military operations at the war office, on Thursday, In his weekly talk, "It will necessarily mean a prolonga­ tion of the war. We cannot longer count on any great material assist­ ance from Russia. This means a greater burden on the other entente allies, and for the United States It means that she must cpjne Into the field as soon as possible and with the greatest possible force." Major General Maurice in comment­ ing on the Flanders battle, said: "This week the battle In Flanders was an entire success. Gen. Sir Doug­ las Halg fixed a definite line of objec­ tives and, speaking generally, he at­ tained it successively. On the south­ ern third of the front he attacked and gained his objective easily. On the northern third the enemy's resistance broke down so completely that General Halg felt justified in permitting his troops to go well beyond the objec­ tive. In the. central thii"d we fell a little short of the objective owing to stubborn enemy resistance." General Maurice said that the Brit­ ish commander's next move was to determine another objective and then, after the customary process of prep­ aration, to proceed similarly to achieve It. "In cases of this kind," said the gen­ eral. "the objective line depends main­ ly upon the range of the artillery. The attacks must be patient and method­ ical. In this way we can gain ground and inflict heavy losses on the enemy without heavy losses to ourselves. 'In this week's battle we co-operated with the French. There were about six times as many British troops as French soldiers. Of the British four- fifths were purely English and one- fifth Anzac (Australians and New Zealanders), Welsh and Scotch. No Irish or Canadian troops participated." U. S.

Jeff Le- more of Texas voted "present." The house also adopted almost unanimously the conference report on the bill creating a food survey.

The objection of Powers was based on the Pomerene section, which regulates coal and coke through the federal trade com­ mission. The report on the food survey shows that^the bill carries an appro­ priation of $11,346,000. The house originally made U $14,770,000, bat the senate made the cut. 1,1 DRAFT TO HIT NEWLYWEDS Boards -Ordered to Halt Exemptions. lit Some Cases--Men Who Fail to Report to Be Taken Into Army. Washington, Aug. 4.--After confer­ ring with Secretary of War Baker, Pro­ vost Marshal General Crowder sent, the following telegram on Thursday to every governor In the country: "The selective service law does not require discharges in all cases of tech­ nical legal dependency, but only per­ mits discharges where, In view of de­ pendency a discharge Is advisable. "Local boards may w«?ll hold that a marriage hastily consummated recent­ ly, and especially one contracted by a person after he has been called to pre­ sent himself for examination to deter* mine his fitness for military service, does not create a status of dependency in which it Is advisable to discharge him." This ruling, it was stated at the provost marshal general's office, should settle the status of the marriage slack­ ers. President Wilson issued a supple­ mental order under the draft law which provides that persons who fall to report to loval boards for examina­ tion shall be regarded as physically fit and liable for military service. 3 ATTACKS ON TROOPSHIPS Secretary of Navy Sends Report, of Rear Admiral Gleavca to*5 , Senate Committee.
