Over the long battle lines of Europe comparative quiet pre- vailed today except in Belgium where the conflict continued still with deadly fury and still undecided.
 On the Servian border sharp fighting is in progress and the Turks are in action against the Russians but on the main po- sitions through France, along the East Prussian border and in Gal1cia there apparently is a 1ul1 On the success or fail ure of the German attempt to force a way to the English channel may depend the future of the campaign not only in Belgium but elsewhere
 Today's official French state Ement, tho only authoritative word lip to early afternoon, sketched out a battle line which adhered closely to that previously reported. In con trast with yesterdays frank admission of German ad- vance, including the capture of Dixmude, the French state ment of today was non-com- initial
 Fighting continues with vio- fence on the western end of the line, it is said, but there are no : indications whether the Ger mans have succeeded in push ing further their advance west of Dixrnude, the road lying straight to Dunlzirk on the channel.
 Minor engagements are re ported at other points on the line but apparently there have been no movements of note.
 Along the Servian border, the only other point from which heavy fighting is reported, the Austrians are making deter mined effort to crush Servia and complete the campaign be- fore the opening of the winter.
 Austria's recent assertions that her troops had defeated the Servians and were carry ing the fighting well on Ser vian soil found partial confir. nation in official information from Nish where it is admitted that. the Servians abandoned some positions along the northern border for 'sstrateeia reasons
 A decisive victory, however, is claimed by the Servians in one of the numerous engage ments now in progress along both the western and northern boundaries. A force of six thousand Austrians who cross ed the Danube at a point 30 miles from Belgrade, the Ser vian war office. says, was put ato rout, one thousand being killed, two thousand captured and many drowned in the river.
 Russian Pursuit slackeua.
 The Russian pursuit of the Germans along the Silesian frontier has slack ened and the Germans are strengthen ing their positions along the line oe border fortresses in expectation of an attempted Russian invasion
 Petrograd makes the statement that the retreat of the Germans was due to the failure of their crown prince in command of the center, to hold his position.

RESOLUTION

Whereas the board of City Commits
sioners have had under consideration
the problem of providing Logan City
with an adequate supply Of pure water
and for said purpose has received and
filed and duly considered all the re-
ports made by special committees ap-
pointed by the Commercial Boosters
Club and others.
And. whereas. It appears To the
Board that whichever method may be
adopted as recommended by said
committees, or II any other plan be
adopted by this board to consuinnte
said purpose. that under the existing
law and the present state of Logan
City's finances. It will not be possible
to Issue bonds or further increase by
any other means the public debt Of
Logan City. and therefore whatever
II any, Improvement is made in the
city's water system. or by whatever
means or plan the money for making
such Improvement must necessarily
be raised by special tax.
And, whereas, 1t Is deemed advisa;
BILE by the Board to levy such tax and
at such rate and continuing year after
year, as will not be too great burden
upon the taxpayer but still insure the
necessary funds to make said much
needed improvements,
And, whereas, this Board does not
desire to enter upon this undertaking
without being assured that the tax
payers of this city favor the levy of
a special tax for number of years
the Board, therefore, have determined
to call a special election to determine
the will of the tax payers OF Logan
City with reference to said matter;
Now, therefore, be 1t resolved by
the Board of City commissioners OF
Logan City, Utah, that a special cleo
ton be held at said Logan City, with

SHRINERS WILL MEET
IN SEATTLE IN 1915
Sound the Unanimous Choice Of the
Convention; officers Are
Elected

Atlanta, Co., May 13.-After one OF
the sharpest fights in the history OF
the Mystic Shrine, Seattle, Wash,
was granted over San Francisco the
honor Of entertaining the mobiles In
1915.
The committee on time and place
unanimously favored Seattle, but the
California temples carried the fight
to the floor of the convention.
Motley Flint, past potentate of AL
Malaikah, Los Angeles, and George
fillmore, potentate of Islam, san Fran
cisco were the leaders OF the San
Francisco contingent in the fight. Op.
posing them was the eloquence OF
Or. Mark A. Mathews OF Seattle, one
of the leading Presbyterian clergymen
of America.
In vain Potentate Fillmore waved
contracts with San Francisco hotels,
showing 400 rooms already reserved
for the Shriners, in vain he promised
them $4,000 rooms II necessary and
pictured the glories of California.
When the vote was called a count
was not necessary. The mobiles were
asked to stand for their choice and
an enthusiastic crowd leaped to their
feet and yelled for Seattle. They
were easily majority and the San
Francisco representative asked the
vote be made unanimous. I am good
loser, Fillmore shouted. and will work
for Seattle in 1915.
The imperial council promoted the
highest ofiicer In accordance with
| long established custom.
Through the unexpected resignation
Of william J. Matthews Of New York,
the imperial marshal, two places be-
came vacant and Ernest A. Cults OF
Savannah imperial captain OF the
guard of Honolulu. advanced two
berths instead Of one.
Jack T. Jones of India temple, OK

Why Kill
the Birds?

The numbers Of injurious insects
are increasing from year to year and
the damage done to crops rises into
millions Of dollars. Moreover, human
life is endangered by disease carry.

and killed.
Southeast Of the temple are sever.

gagged in catching millions OF insects.
These birds are useful and harmless
and render protection by law, but
rude hands OF boys interfere with the
happy life Of the birds by robbins
and destroying nests OF shooting
them with fiippers.

control their hunting instinct or al
