in the Fair.

Berlin, via Condon, July 17*— Russian forces which recently cap­tured the Galacian town of Kalusz, the headquarters of the Austro-Gennau army, evacuated that town yesterday, according to the official statement issued today by the Ger­man army headquarters staff.

(By Associated Press.) The Russian armies are continuing

their vigorous offensive in eastern Galacla and other groups of the em' plre's vast forces are apparently ready to spring into activity at various points along the 800 mile front.

Everything appears to be running smoothly with the military machine or at least it seems in- far more ef­fective shapei than even the rosiest forecasts 'Indicated. Meanwhile/ Rus­

sia's K^e^w^nt&l affairs, whidh ap" hiav* 3ifcen .going will for.

some time past, are again ruffle^ with a cAblnet disagreements.

Notwithstanding the change in the German chancellorship arid before any declaration of policy have been ."made by the new occupant of tl>e post, Dr. Oeorge Miohaells, the Reichstag revolt against existing con' ditlons appears to be going on un checked. The majority in favor of declaration of peace terms it. is de­clared -will ..present their resolution oh Thursday, the day the neW chancellor is scheduled to speak, and will de­mand that he aocept the declaration in principle before they agree to co operate with him.

An important sucoess 'has been won by the French in the Verdun region As the result of an attack last night all the position west of hill 304' which remained In German hands after the attack of June 29 and 30 were recov­ered. German-prisoners to a number not yet ascertained by the French high -command were taken In the ac­tion.

In the Champagne the Germans made another attack last night In an attempt to retake their lost observa­tion position Teton height. General Potato's troops repelled the assault­ing forces in disorder.

Pekln, July 17.—Tuan CM Jul who commanded the Republican forces which defeated ttie at­tempt to restore the monarchy ,haa denfUtcftr assumed the pre­miership and taken over the war portfolio.

President U Tuan Hung has announced his deolsion not to re­sume office. He<hw entered the French consnltate tad Is under treatment for a stigfrt internal complaint.

It appears however that his res­ignation was induced not by ill­ness but by a dlMnrtitne Incidence at his residence early this morn­ing. One of the guards rah amuck with a sabre, killed a col­onel and two soldiers and wound­ed a captain and a soldier.

With " every" barn shd building crowded "toith exhibits and eveiry dis­play in place, the North Dakota State fair-—"bigger and better than ever" —opened this morning. Ideal weath er conditions prevailed throughout the day, and, with an exceptionally strong program arranged, thousands of people were attracted to the grounds. Fair officials declared this afternoon that it was the biggest opening day they had known.

This Is National Guard, Army and Navy and Patriotic day, and a splen­did patriotic program has been ar­ranged for this evening. At 7:46 o'clock tonight. Company M., Captain Oscar Holm, and the Machine Gun company. Captain I}. I*.

Last night's .and this morning's trains brought in large .crowds of vis-' ltors and throughout the morning,' the country roads were lined with autopartles, all bound for the fair. The crowd was so large this morning that a number of the Carnival shows were forced to open their doors to accomodate them.

Every exhibit was in its place when the gates opened. In one or two cases, there was a little detail work to attend to, but for the _;mo*t part everything was tfunnlng^smooth-ly. '

Judging started in practically every department. In the dairy cattle class, a few guernseys and red poles were judged. There was no com­petition in special classes, and so only the Jean Duluth farm herds were judged. The silver cup was awarded to Jean Duluth Betty, and Marathon Rose Queen, from the same herd, won the cup for junior champion heifer. ' Judging of horse?, beef- cstMsr sheep

and' hogs also was Kfartsd?'" The judges made good progress during the morning' and by tonight .will have much of their work done.

The women's department opened with the largest number of entrants in the history of the fair. Thei prize list was completely revised this year and this had the eelfct of stimulating Interest, with the result that many new articles are exhibited. Judging also started in this department this morning. ;

Grand Stand Crowded. When the race program started at

2 o'clock this afternoon, the grand stand and bleachers were crowded and many people thronged the grounds. The C. A. Wortham shows were formally thrown open at 2 o'clock, and, despite the fact that the stands ware packed, they did an un­usually good business. The carnival attractions undoubtedly are the best seen In the state. Mr. Wortham has provided the latest attractions and has so many of them that two amuse­ment zones had to be provided.

The magnitude of the fair is the first thing that impresses one. Or­dinarily one has found plenty of room along the walks, but this year,

Mornmg^iS

By IVederlck M. Kerby, Staff Writer. New York, July 17.—The wheels of

the biggest mill In the United States, whose grist is new-made American citizens, are being geared up for high­speed work in anticipation of the most tremendous rush for citizenship pa­pers ever known.

The naturalisation bureau in New Terk grinds out annually more than 25 per oent of all the new citizens in the United States.

The new rush on the bureau which has already set in, since the introduc­tion of Congressman John L. Burnett's anti-slacker bill, bids fair to exceed the unprecedented jam which clogged the official machinery when diplomatic relations were broken with Germany on February 6. The Burnett bill alms to reach men of . military age born In allied countries, who have- not been naturalised. It gVves these men 30 to 60 days from the enactment of the measfiwr to take out citizenship - pa­pers ti(o aa to malce -them sttfojeet -to military service here; or in case of failure to do so, that they shall be- de­ported. •

- '-Rush Already1 Stacted. "Wei are going to face the big­

gest problem we have ever had,'" said County Clerk William F. Schneider today. "The rush has already begun. From June 26 we have averaged only abut 85 applications for 'first papers" 'and 25 for "second papers," but with the introduction of the Burnett bill the average jumped to 126 a day for first papers and 40 for second papers.

"There are 606,468 aliens living In Manhattan alone. Forty per cent of these are men above 21 years, of age. When the -Burnett bill pasaes practic­ally every man of 'em will -make a rush to get his papers and avoid de­portation.

"We handled more than 27,000 ap­plications 'in the five months after diplomatic relations were broken. When the Burnett bill passes we will have to handle about four times as many applications In • one • or two months as we had to handle in five months!"

BanitOies "Twilight ZaM.% Nearly a million and a 'half men

of military age are safely ensconed in the "twilight zone" between the country of their nativity and of their adoption.' Besides the 111,82* unnat­uralized Germans disclosed in the reg­istration, there are 1,289,866 other un­naturalized foreigners of military age living In America, the larger part of whom come from countries now allied with the United States. AH these men are exempt from service in the new a r m y . ' - ' - a "

The Burnett bill Is aimed at the men who have come to this oolmtry, and enjoyed all benefits of cltlsenship without assuming any of Its obliga­tions. It will result In making avail­able all fit men for service either in the American army or with the allied armies, for If these men choose de­portation rather than citizenship, they will be drafted under the law of their own countries as soon as they arrive on their home shores.

The committee decided not to hold hearings in order that the appropria­tions may become available as soon as passed.

Senate leaders hope to figure an agreement to set aside the food bill temporarily tomorrow and pass the aviation measure with brief debate.

Among amendments suggested by the war department and which the oommlttee today decided to postpone was one for creating an aircraft pro­duction board. The committee be­lieved such an amendment would de­velop such complications regarding the personnel

Ten States Still Delaying Reports But ar<

~ in Soon.

Washington, July 17.—With only ten states remaining to be heard from on the organization of local exemp­tion boards and with the serial num­ber lists of registrants from all but 649 of the 4,559 exemption districts on file In Washington, Provost Marshal General Crowder was hopeful.? today that the preliminary stages of the war army drawing would be completed within 48 hours. He prepared to take up with Secretary Baker later in the day details of the lottery process for filing approval. If there is no unex­pected delay it seems likely that the drawing can be held Friday or Satur­day. A single district which fails to finish its preliminary work on time, however, can hold up action in­definitely.

Once past the drawing stage Gen­eral Crowder pointed out today, the necessity for concerted action by the states ceases and the examination of registrants and their assignments to the army or their exemption can pro­ceed in any state without regard to progress made In say other communi­ty.

The offi- | eers in the city today commended Mr. j Redding for his aid, as they believe that the career of a trio of some, of the most daring car thieves In the northwest has been ended. A dozen ! or more thefts will probably be fast­ened onto the two men after a,further investigation, the detectives believe:
