Speaking of the prospects, Supt.
FavilIe said:
"The cattle department of the Inter
state Fair this year promises larger
number of entries than in previous
years. 1t will be recalled that last
year the Spokane Interstate Fair had
the largest exhibit of cattle in its his
tory. The leading dairy breeds and
beef breeds were represented by prom
inent breeders of the four Northwest
states. This year the outlook is for
still larger exhibit. Entries are al
ready coming in which shows that
plans are being made by not only the
exhibitors in the four states, but from
as far east as Wisconsin and from
western Canada. The raising of the
embargo on the foot and mouth dis
ease means that the Interstate Fair
will be greatly benefited.
Exhibitors showing at the fair this
year will meet with greater opportuni-
ties of displaying and selling the pure
bred live stock from their herd than
in previous years, because the demand
for pure bred stock this fall is sure to
come. A meeting of the Pure Bred
Live Stock Breeders Association of
Washington will be held during fair
week. A catalog of exhibitors and an
imals exhibited will be issued, as was
done last year, and publicity will be
given to the department on a larger
scale than in previous years. It Is
planned during the fair week that on
each day q live stock parade will be
made in front of the grandstand."
Old exhibitors have advised Supt.
Faville that they are planning to bring
larger displays than they did last year.
and are now lining up their stock and
getting them in condition. Many will
take their stock from Spokane to the
Panama-Pacific exposition at San
Francisco, to exhibit In the worlds
championships, some stopping enroute
at exhibitions to follow the Interstate
Fair, while some from Canada enroute
to San Francisco will stop over in Spo-
kane for fair week. adding to the in
terest In the competition.
Every livestock raiser will be sent
a premium list upon request to the
secretary. Geo. p. Larsen. at Spokane.

A waiter brought him bill of fare,

happened to be the most elaborate and
costly dish on the bill, and when the
waiter went to the kitchen with the
order there was commotion.
The proprietor himself arrived, and
he and the chief cook devoted them
selves to the preparation of the famous
dish. One man was sent for this choice
ingredient end another for another

RUSSIANS MAKE
FRESH STAND
Euscovites to Fight For East
Prussia and Bukowina.
ROUT BY GERMANS DENIED
Heavy Artillery Operations In the
West, During Which Rheims Has
Suffered-Flnaneial Plans OF
the Allied Powers.

London.-Two big battles, II is be-
lieyed. have already begun or viii soon
begin on the Russian side Of the East
Prussian frontier and on the River
Sereth, in Bukowina.
The Russian forces have Withdrawn
both in East Prussia and in Bukowina,
in the face of superior German and
Austrian armies, so that they might be
enabled to concentrate and come into
closer touch with their lines OF com
munication.
The official reports make only the
brieiest reference to the operations at
these two extremes of the Eastern
front, but what they do say indicates
that the Russians have already reach
ed the lines on which Grand Duke
Nicholas has decided to give battle.
Other Events oVershadowed.
The rest of the campaign in the
East, even the fighting in the Car
pathians. which is proceeding under
the worst weather conditions, Is over
shadowed by these greater events, on

ing SO much.
The Germans claim to have won a
big victory over the Russians in East
Prussia, and the Austrisns announce
the Russian retirement in Bukowina
with elation. but apparently Petrograd
views these incidents with misgiying.
In the West there has been a con-
tinuation Of heavy artillery lombard
ments, in which Rheims has again suf-
fered. and several infantry attacks on
different parts Of the line in which
both sides claim to have been sue
cessful.
From unofficial sources comes the
news that ST. Mihiel. on the Meuse,
which the Germans have held so long
mas come under fire of the French
guns. which shows that the French
have either made an advance in this
region or have brought up heavier
guns in an effort to dislodge the Ger.

United States Warns Both Eng
land and Germany.
FROwNS ON USE OF FLAG
England Notified That This Country
objects To Having Its Flag Used
As Shield Because Our Own Ships
Are Thereby mperiIed-eermany Is
Warned Against Committing Any
Violations.

Washington, d. C.-Notes sent to
Great Britain and Germany and made
public by the State Department, indi-
cate the possibility Of crisis in the
efforts Of the United States govern
ment TO maintain neutrality toward
the European belligerents.
In its note to Great Britain on the
deceptive use by British vessels OF the
American flag, the State Department
says:
THE government of the United
/ States therefore trusts that his
Majesty's government will do all in
their power to restrain vessels Of
British nationality from the deceptive
use of the bag Of the United States
in the sea area defined in the Ger
man declaration. since such practice
would greatly endanger the vessels Of
friendly power navigating those
waters, and would even seem to I'M
pose upon the government of Great
Britain measure OF responsibility for
the loss of American lives and vessels
in case of an attack by a German
naval force"
Sharp Warning To Germany.
In the note to Germany the Ger
man government is informed that the
United States would consider it "an
I indefensible violation Of neutral
rights" If commanders Of German YES
sells Of war should act upon the pre-
sumption that the flag Of the United
} States was not being used in good faith
and should destroy on the high seas
an American vessel or the lives Of
American citizens.
Then this warning is given TO Ger
many: III such a deplorable situation
should arise, the Imperial German
government can readily appreciate
that the government OF the United
States would be constrained to hold
the Imperial German government TO a
strict accountability for such acts of
their naval authorities and to take any
steps II might be necessary to take to
safeguard American lives and property
and to secure to American citizens the
! full enjoyment Of their acknowledged
rights on the high seas"
England Expected To Give In.
The reply Of Great Britain is not
expected to raise an issue between
the two governments. because it is
generally regarded as inconceivable
that Great Britain should seek to
maintain the right of her vessels to
use the flag Of the United States de.
spite the United States protest. And
II Great Britain comedies that the de-
ceptive use of the American flag is
wrong, she must in the opinion OF
State Department officials, express her
regret that iustifable cause of com.
I plant has been given and pledge her
self TO do all that she can to avoid
such cause of offense and danger in
the future.
But II is admitted that the reply
which Germany will make TO this gov
ernment's representations will be
awaited with some concern.

from her position that neutral vessels
