Vladivostok, Sept 1. The disarm
ment of the volunteer corps, com
posed mainly of former officers," has
aroused much dissatisfaction among
the upper classes.
A strong protest from a committee
of the professional unions was handed
to the consular otnciai today, wiiue
1 another committee was busy organ
izing a general strike of all trading
concerns.
A strenuous agitation is going on
, for the restoration of the arms to the
volunteers. On the other hand their
disarming has increased the popular
ity of the allies among the masses,
who apparently are assuming that the
allies intend to do all the fighting
without Russian aid.

I irtuMwcMi.wn.niii ALBANIA, jjJ
A glance at this map shows the en
tire battle front in the great war,
Foch's center is the Italian front in
the "Alps and along the Piave. His
right wing the Albanian front, where
Italians, British, French, Albanians,
Serbians and Greeks are driving the
Huns slowly but surely back, event
ually to rescue Serbia and Roumania
from the grasp of the Germans, Tur
key and Bulgaria, and take from them
the great wheat and oil fields of Rou
mania and southwestern Russia.
Foch's left wing is in France, where
now is the greatest activity. The re
newal of the Austrian drive on the
Italians in the Alps has been ex
pected from day to day, but perhaps
the drive of the allies in France made
this for the present impossible.
If one will note the railroad facili
ties of the allies back of the lines
from Paris to Lyons, thence to Turin
through Bologna to Otranto, it can
be foreseen that the line of communi
cations for the allies, the entire length
of their lines, .cannot be molested by
the Germans.
From Otranto across the Adriatic
to the Albanian front the Italians
have transported 250,000 troops and
greaf masses of supplies without the
loss ot a single man or ship.
On the west front in France
Foch's left wing the Italians have
strongly and safely defended Rheims
from tbe German attacks.
Now the Americans are pouring
into Italy to take tfletr places shoul
der to shoulder with their Italian
brothers. The Austrians' attack in
the Alps will probably be turned into
such a defensive retreat as we are
daily witnessing on the front in
Fiance, if it does not indeed develop
into a great rout, which is now not
unlikely.

while the French were bringing up
forces on the flanks but not to make
any effort to advance, ,
I he French came up rapidly and
ate in the day the Americans were
ordered to attack.
Advance Beyond Juvigny.
The advance from Juvigny began at
o'clock Saturday and the Ameri
cans had gained their Objective by
9 o'clock at night. Ragged points in
the new line were smoothed out to
day.. ""
In addition to the 600 prisoners,
two pieces of artillery were captured
and a great number of machine guns
and trench mortars. Trenches, shell
holes and the open fields were
strewn with Geruan dead. ? v

the Americans and rrench, '-ihe
artillery levelled f the ground', while
allied planes maintained uninter
rupted communications from the ar
tillery.;: ; ; v . , .
The infantry responded like veter
ans, and with enthusiastic shouts be
gan the pursuit.
With. the infantry went the tanks,
and it was a different story from
that when they first advanced against
Juvigny.. Thirty tanks had been de
tailed lor the work.
They were light, ; two-men .French
tanks capable of a speed over rough
ground of 10 or 11 miles an hour and
almost as easily handled as an au
tomobile. ;
Mop Up Gun Nests.
; When the order for the' advance
was i .en uie Americans leaped for
ward toward the points that had'
been indicated. From out of con
cealed positions the tanks moved to
ward the machine gun nests. North
of Jjvigny the.o was a hill on which
the Germans had concentrated a
strong machine gun force but there
was little to do there when the in
fantry arrived.; In some cases the
positions actually had been obliter
ated. lucre was no organized resistance;
it was s case of mopping up rather
than an extended district
The Germans who were still left
in the' area were detached forces,
many of these in caves, some in sec
tions of the old trenches.
Terny-Sorny was reached without
a struggle, but practically every
ct'.cr position between the American
line of departure and the objective
was yielded "only because the Ger
mans were unable to retain it
Prisoners said that within the past
few days two new German divisions
the 238th and the 227th the first
of which marched from Rheims and
the other from.Metz, had been placed
in that sector. Both were splendid
organizations, but like others en
countered recently, were afflicted
with that mysterious, something
which "caused them to crack when
pounded.
A new variety of barrage was used
by the Americans. Prisoners char
acterized it as a "crazy fire."
Others solemnly declared that they
had been subjected to a counter-barrage
by their own army, 1 That did
occur in at .least one instance, due
to the confusion in the German aerial
service.
Barrage Follows Barrage.
The Americans had their long
range guns on a line of targets, be
ginning their barrage along s line to
the rear of that This barrage moved
on and in a brief interval another bar
rage started at the same point . This
barrage moved on and in a brief in
terval another barrage started at the
same point. Whffn the first moving
line of fire reached that of the long
range guns, they shifted and the triple
barrage was repeated.
Ordinarily when a creeping bar
raee passes, those under the fire feel
free to reappear. In this case they re
appeared only to be subjected to an
other smothering hre.
On the Americans' .left similar tac
tics were used, but the intervals were
longer, the American guns covering
exactly twice the ground, if measured
by the density of the fire.
The allies' mastery of the air in
this sector is unquestioned. In the
air at one time there were counted 80
allied planes. It was one of those
rare opportunities for observation
work; the visibility was good and
squadron after squadron ascended
With the observation planes went
combat planes a few of which dis
appeared over the German lines to
take part in the actual fighting.
Occasionally a German plane chal
lenged their presence but in every
case it was driven off. The allied
planes even prevented the Germans
from spotting for their own artillery
with any degree ot efficiency. Not
one allied plane was brought down.
An incident of the arrival of prison
ers at the rear was a halt of a de
tachment at a spot where . graves
were being dug. Their stopping was
accidental, but the. men were fully
convinced that they had been

Labor Day Message From
Secretary of Labor Wilson
By SW. B. WILSON.
This Labor Day finds America at
the greatest crisis in history. The
nation is engaged in the greatest
war I the world has ever seen, and
upon the results of this war will de
pend the fate of humanity for centuries.
We have sent a great army abroad
to co-operate with the armies of our
allies. Our navy is clearing the seas
of the German submarines. - Our men
in Hue and khaki have won glory
by many -heroic deeds: they havi
helped to inflict upon the foe a crush
ing defeat which, we hope, may prove
the turning point of the war.
JBut whether it does Drove such
depends as much upon those who re
main at home as upon those who go
abroad to fight We have no fears
for our soldiers in France, provided
we tan keep them well fed, well
clothed and properly equipped; they
have already shown themselves more
than the equal of the kaiser's best
troths.
Upon this day, of all days, we must
consider seriously the problem before
us at home. We must maintain our
armies in the field at the top-notch
fighting strength, anJ we must sup
ply the needs of our allies and the
starving people of Belgium.
' This is a day on which labor must
consecrate itself to a great task the
task of winning the war. For this
tremendous duty halfway measures
will not suffice. There must be abso
lute loyalty and devotion to the na
tion's cause these, I believe, our
people have already shown, beyond a
question. But more than this, there
must be a-clear understanding of the
great need, and a new determination
to gratify it
Maximum production is the goal
for which we must strive. With every
workman giving his utmost strength
and will. power, we shall attain it. The
task will not be easy nor the effort
small; but we have no choice. To
save all that we hold dear, we must
work, work, work for the boys in
France, and the allies. ' One phrase
sums it up: Work as you would
fight"
" The Coal miners are"sr doing that.
lhey have produced the greatest
amount ot coal in history, despite the
heavy loss of men through enlistment
Many records have been broken in
shipbuilding. Great industrial plants
are producing material for the army
at unprecedented speed. The Nash
ville powder plant, the greatest in the
world, was completed three months
ahead of time.
One workman made a record by
driving 4,875 rivets in one day. Only
a short time afterward, the mark was
passed by another, who drove 5,000.
Now we are told that a workman has
driven 6,000 rivets in one day. Such
deeds as these show the spirit that
animates our people and have served
as , examples to stimulate the whole
great body of Americans to nobler
tasks. f.
The glory of it all is that labor has
visualized the needs of our armies
and our peoples and its own relation
to those necessities. Labor accepts
that responsibility ' enthusiastically,
loyally. With our splendid army on
the battlefields of Europe, reinforced
by an efficient industrial army in
America, militarism is doomed to de-,
feat." Democracy wtlf be triumphant
on earth. - , ,
brought there to die and there to be
buried.
In the dressing stations today the
number of German wounded was far
greater than the American. , The long
range fire of the Germans today did
not result in many casualties. The
German dead is out of proportions to
the number of Americans killed.
Enemy Raids Repulsed.

tillery last night shelled the American
lines in the Toul sector. ' Following a
lull of several, hours the bombard
ment was resumed at daybreak todav.
gradually harrowing down to a con
centrated fire on a small sector;
At 5 o'clock this morning a German
force estimated at about 200 men
attempted a raid behind a barrage.
The enemy was driven off before he
reached the trenches. Some German
dead were left. , '
Another raid tried in the Vosges
sector this morning was repulsed.

German Forces on Western

London. Sept 1. It was learned
that the Germans now have onlv 196
divisions on the western tattle front
as compared with 204 which they
