Russia Appealing to the Allies
to Begin an Offensive Movement

has decided to try publicity. The
situation is unpleasant for France and
England. Not only are they made
uncomfortable by Russia officially
and openly advising them what to
do, but there exists the possibility of
rupture from the Allies persistent
refusal to take the offensive
That they are unable to assume
the offensive because of a shortage
of munitions, Petrograd apparently
does not believe. The necessity of
outstanding ammunition to withstand
a possible effort of the Germans to
reach Calais does not impress Pet
rograd as much as London and Paris.
If the Allies remain inactive despite
Russias appeal there is certain to
be resentment in Petrograd The
evacuation of Poland will be as
sociated in the Russian mind with
the absence of an effort by the Allies
on the west. Had Turkey not enter
ed the war and if there was no pos
sibility of Russia securing Constan-
tinople, the basis for possible
separate peace unquestionably would
exist in Petrograd.

PARIS, Aug. 6.-France is. fully
prepared for winter campaign. 1t

willing to force decisive battle on
the ground that Germany must give

and by such tactics he can save
France thousands OF men. He is
said to be an exponent OF defeating
Germany by attrition, no matter how

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Russia is
openly appealing to the Allies to as
sist her by developing major often
sive on the western front. Hitherto
the pressure being brought for help
has been secret. There were unoffi-
cial intimations of plea for a west
ern offensive telegraphed from Pet
rograd last week, but the government
was silent.
In today's communique the COVER l.
inent declares the Germans are NOV
ing troops from the west to the east,
and adds, this creates favorable con-
ditions for active operations on the
part of the Allies in the west By
this the car openly demands that
the Allies no longer remain idle while
the Russians are being forced TO
abandon Poland.
1t is not probable that the Allies
are announcing an offensive is about
to begin Circumstances suggest
that the Slavs have been unable 20

Cutting Second Crop

The farmers in Carson valley have
finished cutting their first crop CT
hay and the hay stacks are large and
close together. This hay cutting busi-
ness, however, is one which gives
little rest to the farmer, for no soon
er is his first crop in the stack than
it is time to get ready for the cutting
of the second, and this is followed
closely by the third, where he INDUCES
in alfalfa culture. Though the
spring was backward, the crop is fair
ly good and the second promises to be
fully Up to standard. There have
yet been heard no complaints Of
scarcity of water.

The excursion TO Reno yesterday TO
attend the races as the guests OF the
Reno Racing association on Carson
day was what may oe termed great
success. AS to numbers, it was not
general exodus OF Carson people,
but nevertheless it took four cars to
carry the passengers who Travelled by
rail, to say nothing OF the great num-
Der who went in automobiles. In all
there were between two and three
hundred Carson people at the track.
On the arrival of the train Mayor
Byington met every one as he came
oft the cars and handed him ticket
10 the races. AS passengers alightcd
they were immediately taken in charge
by members OF the committee, led
To automobiles, and taken ont to the
races, shown where to go and every
thing done to treat them as company
At the track the Carson contingent
broke up into small parties, each par
ty going its own way. Those who
they run went up into the grand
stand, and those Who cared to put a
bet on the bangtails took to the bet
ting ring. OF course, TO the elect,
those who are backing their judg-
ment on the speed OF a soer, the
races were very interesting, especial
" when one had a pool ticket on the
first horse under the wire To Others,
not so full OF information as to the
speed of the beautiful animals, and
the record OF past performances, IT
was merely pretty sight as they lid
their best to come first under the
wire.
1t was amusing to hear the various
comments OF the betting contingent
as to the merits and dement's OF the
Parts Mutuel system OF betting.
Those who were fortunate enough to
pick winners had little to say, but
the losers all had nothing but con-
demnation for the system 1t IS hard
10 guess why the manner OF betting
has anything to do with it, but the
race track men all growl about the
Paris method. They say that man
may pick winners and then lose, and
that it is unsatisfactory for the reas-
on that one never knows what odds
he is going to get when he places
his money. Not many OF the Carson
crowd played very heavily, most OF
them contenting themselves with a
Jew tickets at So to S. on each race,
Just enough to give zest to the
amusement.

tary Lansing intimated that he may
conclude the A. B. c. conferences
this afternoon, after which he is
scheduled to confer with General
Scott. 1t is generally believed the
program contemplates two alterna-
tives. First, peace conference be-
tween Villa and Carranza to see if
they can agree on provisional can
d,date whom America and the Pan
American governments can support,
and who shall govern until the reg
ular election sixty days hence. Some
member of the late President
Madero's cabinet is deemed the
most suitable, and it is be-
lieved that Carranza will ac-
cede to such an understanding if he
has the predominating voice. II Villa
refuses, the second step will consist
of recognition of the Carranza pro-
visional president, with the support
necessary to crush Villa.
