NEW YORK, July 7. Denial by Sa.nu'd Coinper. president of the American Federation of Ivthor. hat trades unions had had any share in the Last St. Iyuis riots, which was IV. et by a ehement denunciation by Theodore Roostveit of the murder of helpless ."e::roe.-, precipitated a tumultous demonstration at a mass m feting held in Carne-ue hall here Friday nuhr in honor of the Russian mission to the Unittd iSTates. Mr. Roosedt was interrupted by Mr. Gompers, who rose from his seat and approached the former president 'Why don't you accuse after an investigation?" the labor leader demanded. With these words he returned .o his -eat. Col. Roosevelt strode over to his chair and exclaimed: "Mr. Gompers, why don't 1 accuse afterwards? I'll answer now when murder is to be answered." With that the colonel brought doMi on Mr. Gomper' shoulder his open left hand which he had raised above his head. Men on the plailorm leaped to their feet and there was a ?torm of hisses, cheers and '"boos from all parts of the house, himself heard above the din, he went on:

"I will go to any extreme to bring justice to the laboring man, but when there is murder I will put him down." Nit Side ly Side. When the former president had finished. Mr. Gompers, evidently deeply stirred, started to rise and make rejoinder, but was pushed back into his seat. Several minutes elapsed before it was possible to introduce Boris Bakhmetieff, the Russian ambassador, and continue the meeting. As the excuement subsided Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Comers found themselves sitting side by side. It was at the close of an address by Mr. Gompers that the colonel was recognized by Mayor Miichel. Mr. Gompers had declared that many laboring men are in much the same positions as Russians under the eld regime, read a telegram he said he had received from the .president of the Federation of Labor of Illinois, explaining the origin of the Last t. Louis riots. It asserted that instead of labor unions being responsible for them, they resulted from employers en''cing Negrots from the south to the city "to break

Colonel Demands Action. "There should be no apology for the infamous brutalities committed on the colored people of Rast St. Louis," declared Col. Roosevelt, in beginning his vigorous denunciation of the riots. "Justice is net a mere phrase. It has to be translated into action. How can we praise Russia for doins justice to all people when we must apologize for doing murder to the helpless. "In the past we have listened to the Käme excuse from those in authority in old Russia for the fearful pogroms on the Jews. I will do anything for the laboring man except that which is wrong and that I won't do for him or for any one

else. I care not a snap of my finger

for a telegram from the head of the labor unions of Illinois. Let there be the fullest investigation into these murders." It was at this point that the interruption came from Mr. Gompers. Mr. Roosevelt already had departed a little earlier in the evening from the text of his formal spee-ch of welcome to the Russians to refer to the riots. Asked if he would make a statement when he was leaving, Col. Roosexelt said: "I meant everything I said. I stand by it." Colonel Only Bluffing. "How about the slap on Mr. Gompers' shoulder?" ' That was not a hard blow." the colonel replied. "It was only a gentle touch. I did that to emphasize my pednt. have no peisonal grievance acainst Mr. Gompers." When Mr. Gompers was asked to

Sive his id of the contro rsy he' ?aid: "I uns very much surprised t and pained that r. Roosevelt acted i he did. He misunderstood me. I j made no apology for the rits In the ( name of labor. I simply explained

the situation as it had been rportea to rne. I repeat, 1 made no apolosy. Furthermore. I think the colonel could have reserved his char-es for that's what they wer1 until an ir. e.-tiration had determined the caupr for the riots. . Rut I know the colonel." concluded Mr. Gompers. "He was only blurring."

Allied Success Apparent in War Theater Summary

After checking the latest effort of the German crown prince in Champagne, the French tok the offensive anil succeeded in straightening out their line in the region of Mont Haut and Mont Carnillet. Gen. Retain' men held their gains despite four strong attacks which they repulsed with heavy loss. Switching his operations from north of the Aisne did not help the crown prince as his effort in Champagne west of Mont Carnillet and southeast of Tahure failed, as did the recent heavy attacks north of the hemin des Dames. Gen. retain responded to tho German effort by reducing salients in his line east of the scene of the Teuton attack. The French not only captured prisoners. but bent off counter attacks, showing that the Germans attached importance to the French gains. Artillery Duel On. On the rest of the French front, and especially around the curve in the French line northeast of Soissons. violent artillery encasements are in progress. To the north the British and Germans have shown little infantry rcthity outside of patrol encounters and raids. A great artillery battle is in progress on the front where the Russians made their sudden advance early this week Xear Zboroff and between Zlochoff and Brzezany, In Galicia, the Russian and German puns are hammering the opposing lines, and near Smorgon. north of the Pripet marshes, the big guns are active. , Signs of a re-awakening of activity on the front in Roumania are increasing and n'var Rialestchi German attempts to fraternize with the Russians were answered by the artillery. Northwest of Zlo. on the Carso, an Italian surprise attack netted some gain of ground. Austrian counter attacks were beaten off successfully. Go Talk IVaco Tonn. Unofficial reports say Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg. the German imperial chancellor-, in hfs forthcoming speech before the reichstag. will make such declarations as will serve as a basis for peace negotiations. The chancellor's address was to have been delivered before the end of this week and its temporary postponement may have been caused bv the sudden and tinexpected offensive movement by the Russians in eastern Galicia.

WASHINGTON, July 7. Selection day tor the new national army is approaching rapidly as local exemption boards in various states complete their organization, give serial numbers to the registration cards and forward certified copies to Provost Marshal Gen. Crowdor. indications are that the drawing will be held next week, but no olficial statement has been made. Administration officials still maintain strict siler.ee as to the method to be followed. With the recent statement of ecy Baker that the drawing would be held in Washington, however, coupled with the Ftress laid on the serial numbering of registration cards, the general outline of the plan is clearly indicated. It is understood that it is proposed to place in a single jury wheel ir Washington one complete set of numbers. When a number is taken Iron, the wheel the man in each exemption district whose card bears that serial number will be drafted. Thus as each number ia drawn, approximately 30,000 men wilj be drafted, or one in each exemption district. If 1,200.000 men are to be called before the exemption boards

i:r the first selection, which seems highly probable, only 40 numbers would need to be drawn. There are numerous complications uhich must arise and the method of solving them can be known only when the administration makes known its plans in detail. For Instance the number of registered individuals in each district who are liable for military service will certainly not be the same. Must Wach Kcmptiois. All this must be considered in framing regulations. Provision must be made also to balance chances of military duty between the men in each district, so that disqualification of a large number in any particular district for any rea

son will not put upon those qualified additional likelihood of bein sent to the front. Various ways of accomplishing this correction of chances so as tc make the resulting draft as fair as human, ingenuity can contrive have been s;i?ested. The matter has had Pres't Wilson's personal consideration. While the first contingent of the new army, under the bill, is limited to 500.000 men. an additional 12Ö,000 or 150,000 will be needed to make up reserve battalions of this force. Resere battalions are now being recruited for- all regular regiments and will be recruited for thy national guard when it is drafted into the federal service. The organization of the national army will be on the same basis. May Xovd More Men. It may be necessary also, to draft enough men to fill up the regulars and national guards to war strength, although no decision to this end has been reached as yet. The regularsare nov close to war strength and the guard units are recruiting

rapidly. If possible they will be completed by the war volunteer system. It i nc known whether the government plan? to call double the number of men actually needed on the f'rst selection in order to provic-e against these exemptions. Possi'dj only the smaller number will be taken, to be filled out by later hcloctions until the ranks ae full. If the exemption factor is allowed for the first drawin-, however, it seems likely that a million or a million and a half names would be provided for at that time, the men to appear for examination in the order in which they were drawn and the cards of tho.-e not reached in any oistrict where the quota was filled before they came up t eforo the I oard. to be retui ned. j Another factor which is being worked out in the selection regulations is the provision of the law re-

quirinu- that each strite be given redit at the drawings for the numUr of men it has supplied as volunteers in the regular army or the rati' mal guard.
