 There still WIS hope in the allied countries, however, that Russian counter offensive would hold the in vaders off but this proved i'll foen1- ed and today the Russians had to give up the city which, earlier in the war, had cost them so dearly to win.
 No Estimate of Captured
 There is no estimate of the number cap- tured. but it is nearly certain thai the Russians, having lots of time, got away as many men and as much material as possible and destroyed the guns and am intuition that remained,

the new Catholic church building has
been completed and the only cement
work remaining unfinished Isl in CON
nection with the steps. forms for
which are now being laid
Stanton & Smith poured the entire
concrete floor in one day, and such
rapid progress has been made that the
work is going along at schedule time
regardless of the recent storm, which
had put a stoT to all building opera
tions.
Father van den Broeck is not hurry
ing the contractors any. and prefers
that they have all the time required to
do the work in the very best manner
So he does not plan on having the
church ready for occupancy until
about March 20, 1916 However. it is
expected that the structure will be un
der roof by December 20.
The forms for the concrete will be
torn down and work will start very
soon on the brick portion or the super

FIRE Loss IS ABOUT $1,000
Damage to Residence at Yesterday
Mornings Fire Is Considerable.
Property Fully Insured.

The facts relating to the early
morning fire yesterday. when the
residence at the corner of Fifth and
Washington streets caught on fire,
were as stated in yesterdays issue
OF the Democrat-News. The blaze
was reported to the fire station at
a. m. and a quick response was made
with the ever-reliable auto truck. The
boys had instructions to use little
water as possible so as to avoid
damage as far as could be done, so
the chemicals were literally put into
service. The result was that only
one room was damaged by water The
men had to fight some heavy smoke
and the smoke damage to the con-
tents is considerable. The total loss
to the building and contents is esti-
mated at $1,10O. although the adjust
ers have not arrived yet to get at the
official figures.
An hour and half was put in by
the fire department combating the
stubborn blaze which crept from the
back room downstairs, where it orig
mated in some unknown manner, up
through the roof.

LONDON, Sept. ID, QO:lO y. m)--
Field Marshal Won Iindcnburg's drive
toward the Dvinsk-Nilna railway is
not progressing as fast as his previous
enterprises OF similar kind have
done, and at one or two points, about
midway between these towns where
his cavalry has cut the railway, he
still is being stubbornly opposed by
the Russians, who are making vigor-
GUS counter-attacks.

reached IA point west of the bridge
head across from the town of Dvinsk
and is preparing to attack that for
titled area.
man advance has also slowed up,
while in Galicia the Russians still are
attacking, and according to unofficial
reports from Bucharest and other
points, the Austro.German armies are
,alling back across the Dniester river.
lust north OF the Galician border the
Russians also are on the offensive and
are making an attempt to recapture
the fortress of Dudno, which the Aus
trians took last week
This offensive in the south il is
believed, will have an effect on the
rest of the front, as reinforcements
must soon be sent there, or the Teu-
tonic allies will run the danger of be-
ing outflanked. Despite this, the Aus
trians have sent reinforcements
against Italy and have at some parts
of the line assumed the offensive The
country is SO rough and the Italians,
since they declared war. have been so
successful in capturing positions for
defense that af advance by the Aus
trians cannot for some time threaten
the defenders. The operations, how
ever. are likely to take on more in
teresting character.
The heavy guns continue their bonn

in the Vosges another engagement is
in progress for the possession of Hart

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Secre-

in the proposed flotation by the allies
OF large loan in this country.
The secretary explained that the at

had long ago been announced; that
its expression of dsapproval of loans
as Inconsistent with the spirit of neu-

rect request for advice by American
bankers concerning loans in general,

LONDON, Sept 15.-Premier AS
quith, in the house of commons, and
Earl Kitchener, secretary for war, in
the house of lords, gave an exhaus-
tive survey today in the financial and
military situations, both making can
did statements of what has already
been done and of preparations "for
carrying the war to successful con-
clusion."
Both houses were crowded with
members and spectators, who followed
with deepest interest the premier's
statement, asking for another vote of
credit, which finally passed and which
brings the total of 1852, 100000
pounds ($6,310,0OO,O O,OOO). and to Earl
kitchener's reading of a carefully
prepared and optimistic speech on the
military operations and needs.
The premier had to deal with huge
figures to explain the financing of the
war and warned his hearers that, al
though the expenditures now was over
100000 pounds daily, there was like
lihood of it's increasing, owing to the
advance to the allies and dominions,
which had reached 250,00O0OO pounds
($1,250, ,OO0,O0O), and provision for mu-
nitions.
Since the war began nearly 3OOO.-
600 men, he said, had enlisted in the
army and navy. Besides, 100000 per
sons now were engaged in the manu-
facture of munitions. But both figures
would have to be increased, and he
appealed to, the women to give their
assistance, believing that they would
make a gigantic stride toward the So
luton of one of the most pressing
problems ...4..4
Mr.. Asquith candidly admitted that
mistakes had been made, and added:
Il do not say, even now. we are
dolng all we might, or even all we
ought to do"
He protested, however, against the
attempts of a section of the press to
"belittle and disparage our efforts"
After reviewing the operations in
Flanders, the Dardanelles and Poland,
Mr.. Asquith declared that the coun.
try had vastly exceeded any standard
dreamed of before the war. AS the
war went on, however. that standard
would rise and new sacrifices would
be demanded in men, munitions and
money.
A discussion on the question of con.
scription followed the premier's
speech and the house finally granted
the vote asked for.

TORS DECIDE UPON NEW

IN FRONT PART OF THE TEMPLE

At a meeting of the executive
board of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday morning, it was voted TO
move the offices of the organization
from the present quarters to the
rooms in the Masonic Temple for,
merly occupied by the Cook-Reynolds
company. The plan of moving these
offices was proposed some time ago
but no definite action was taken un.
til yesterday, the advantages of the
move and the improvements which il
will make being many. The position
will be more prominent, facing as il
does on Broadway, and the quarters
will be considerably larger, feature
which is to be desired above many
others.
Accept the Exhibit.
The board accepted the offer of the
county commissioners relative to the
county exhibit at Helena, and this dis
play of grains will be placed in the
new offices as a permanent decora
tion. 1t is hoped to preserve the cen
terpiece of the fair exhibit intact, as
it is thing of art, and one in which
Lewistown people will take pride
in showing strangers. The center.
piece, which has already been sent
on to Helena, was designed and made
by Surprenant and Wentworth. In
figure it is a butterfly with wings
outspread, and in the center of its
body is the figure of girl. Judith,
done in clay. The head and wings OF
the lovely creature are made OF

which are unsurpassed for work OF
this kind. Surrounding it on every
side is a sample of the wealth OF

PREPARING THE
TAX NOTICES
TREASURER RUFUS POLAND AND
FORCE At WORK GETTING
OUT STATEMENTS,
new FORM BEING USED THIS YEAR

There are five large books devoted
this year, and the county clerks of
flee has completed it's work with sew
eral of these books, which have been
surrendered and turned over to the
office of the county treasurer. Work
ing on these books, Treasurer Rufus
Poland and his foce are busy getting
out the annual tax notices. These will
be mailed to every taxpayer in the
county the second Monday in Dcto-
Der. Every taxpayer will then know
just what the amount of his taxes are.
Use New Form.
Treasurer Poland is using a new
form of tax notice this year, which
will serve as a great convenience to
the property owner The old form
was merely statement of the total
amount due. The new form contains
description of the real estate and
other property, together with the de-
tailed values, and also the levy in
each fund. This shows just how the
computation is made, and each tax.
payer can check up directly, to see
If any error has been made. The tax.
payer is urged to carefully inspect
the assessment list and the computa
tion which, however, is almost Ger
tain to be correct.
Four copies of this notice are made
one for the office, second for the
clerk and recorders office, another to
be sent to the taxpayer. and the ori
ginal to be given to the taxpayer as
a receipt when he pays his taxes
More labor is required by this new
system, which is thought to be fai
superior to the other and we'll worth
the extra effort and labor.
