Butte, Sept. 4.-The 600 Montana
national guardsmen who are maintain
ing peace in Butte responded to their
first riot call early today when tele-
phone message was received at head
quarters that a body of men were

Russian Troops In France

New York, Sept. 6.-Russian troops
to the number of 10000 have passed
through England and are now at the
rear of the German army in France,
according to Vance Thompson, an
American writer, who arrived here
today on the Red Star liner Kroon-
land, which sailed from Liverpool, Au.
gust 2S.
On that date Mr.. Thompson said he
saw detachments of Cossacks on their
way to the channel ports and learned
that the British government had sus-
pended the regular train service in
order to give the Russians the right
OF way. He added that he could say
from reliable authority that 100000
Russians had already crossed the
channel and were now probably at
tacking the German rear, while it was
understood that thousands more were
on their way from Archangel by the
Arctic ocean route to England.

Will Not Get Prize Money

Washington, Sept. St will be
news to many Americans-fo the act
has attracted a curiously small am.
cunt of attention on this side of the
Atlantic-that the British government
has abolished prize money in the
navy. 1t has done away with it in the
army some time ago.
This means that the individual SOL
dier and sailor of the British army
and navy. in the present war will not
profit personally through any of the
successes coming to the British arms.
Whether the prize money laws have
been abolished by the other European
governments represented in the pre-.
sent struggle is not now known to the
world in general.
The United States saw the last of
naval prize money during the war
with Spain, in 1895. Several of the
ships taken by Dewey and his men at
Manila, and of those later captured
by Sampson and Schley and their
men in Cuban waters were sold and
the proceeds distributed among Off.
GERS and men.

Price Boosters Indicted

Washington, Sept 4.-Thirty-two
indictments were returned here today
by federal grand jury after an in
vestigation to determine whether food
prices had been artiticially increased
here on pretext of having been caused
by the European war. Bench war
rants were issued for all the indicted
men who are local commission mer-
chants or produce dealers.
The indictments charges that they
have been fixing prices every day on
foodstuffs by ballot" or "sugges-
tions" or verbal agreements and that
the fixed prices have been circulated
by printed circulars. The indictments
are under the Sherman law and con-
viction carries fine of $4,000 or one
wears Imprisonment or both.

PARIS PREPARES FOR SIEGE
Greatest Battle Of the War Expected
Near French Capital

London, Sept. 3.-The battle to de-
eide whether history will repeat it.
self in second siege of Paris is still
in progress, according to the latest
official announcement here.
Future military historians will
write volumes about the details of
this battle, but all the British public
knows officially concerning the titan
ic struggle-the most momentous
Waterloo-is described in one SEN
tence Of an official report issued last
night by the press bureau.
Continuous fighting has been in
progress along almost the entire line
of battle"
To this the French official commun-
ication adds the fact that the allied
forces have fallen back toward the
southwest to avoid an action under
unfavorable conditions. How far and
to what line the allies have gone is
unknown.
In spite of the fact that the French
capital has been removed to Bordeaux
and the German army of the west is
within 30 miles of the outer fortifica-
tions of Paris, strange air of conf
dence prevails today among the al
lies. The general feeling seems to be
that the German attack is wearing
itself out in wearing out the British
lines, which give but do not break.
President Poincare has issued
proclamation to his people telling
them that the necessity alone has
forced him to remove his government
to Bordeaux. Military experts agree
that Paris will soon be the pivot of
the hostile forces operating in the
area of the west. Even the downfall
of the French capital is not expected
to end these operations.

ALLIES ARE HARD PRESSED
German Steam Roller Makes Advance
On Road To Paris

London, Sept. "A corner of the
curtain over the battle drama in north
western France has momentarily been
raised. 1t shows the allies battling
desperately to prevent the success of
the German assaults ON the upper
Disc, less than fifty miles from Paris.
On the eastern war stage Russia
frankly cOnfesses to disaster of two
army corps, with the loss of two gen.
erals. elsewhere the Russian arms
seemed to have triumphed. Galicia
has been successfully invaded and
Lemberg will soon be evacuated, ac-
cording to reports from the st. Pc
tersburg war Office.
On the upper Disc the British are
fighting desperately to prevent the
Germans from obtaining one of the
most direct routes to Paris. The bat.
tie ragged Sunday and Monday and by
sheer weight of numbers the Germans
secured slight advantage.
Military experts point out that from
the present position on the upper Disc
river the German advance would be-
come increasingly difficult. owing to
the natural feature of the country as
we'll as the artificial defenses that will
have to be encountered
1t is becoming evident that all along
the western line the allies are playing
for time in the hope that the German
assault will become exhausted.

NEED MORE REVENUE
President Advises Congress That
More Taxes Must Be Collected

Washington, Sept. 4.-President
Wilson personally addressing con-
gress in joint session today urging
legislation to raise 100000, 900 year
additional revenue through internal
taxes to meet treasury deficit threat
ened by the conflice in Europe.
The president told congress that he
discharged duty which he wished
with all his heart he might have been
spared, but which he performed with
out hesitation or apology, because of
the danger In present circumstances
to create moment doubt as to the
strength and sufficiency of the treas
ury of the United States.''
While the treasury, he said, could
get along for considerable period,
he pointed out the peril of the gov
ernment's withdrawing from national
banks approximately $75,O0O.O0O of
the treasury balance deposited there;
advised against the government bor-
rowing money or selling bonds, which
would make most untimely and
unjustifiable demand on the money
market" and appealed to the intelli-
gent and profoundly patriotic public
to bear the burden of a special tax to
meet the unforeseen emergency.
Congress listened attentively to the
address. Immediately on it's conclu.
sion, the legislative machinery was
set in motion to carry it's recommen.
dation into action. Chairman Under.
wood called meeting of the ways
and means committee to form an in
ternal measure tentatively drawn in
preliminary conferences. A bill will
be introduced as soon as possible.

Enormous War Losses

London, Sept. 6.-The Daily Mails
correspondent at Geores, a French
town near Brussels. estimates the
total losses of the allies at 100000 and
the losses of the Germans at 100000.
He says moderate estimate of the
German losses places them at 20 per
cent at least.
Sheer weight of numbers has push
ed the Germans forward at the
amazing rate of 25 miles a day. the
correspondent adds. The Germans
have shown no superiority in artillery
or transport. The rapidity of their
advance has been due largely to their
use of automobiles for transporta.

AUTO owners AFTER

heard from auto owners who have
had their cars equipped with this diff

popular mechanical device Of It's
kind. While 1t costs about one-fourth
less than a similar invention, its
makers claim that 1t is even a better
device than the more expensive ar

The new invention diffuses the
