FROM MONDAYS DAILY LOGGERS AND
 MILLMEN KICKING

The loggers and millmen of this region are kicking over the stand taken by the Territorial Road Con- missioner E. c. Austin in deciding to use fir lumber in the construction of the road to Charcoal Point. They claim that hemlock by tests has prov. ed superior to fir for decking and equally as long lived for underpin- ing. They also state that the money for the building of the road was raised from the sale of timber in this region, which being the case they think they should be given a chance at least to bid on the material.

Verona. June 25-The first real battle ,of the war in which the ItaI. ian army is now engaged has result ed in victory for their arms. For four days the Austrian army, after receiving heavy endorsements, have been fighting an offensive engage
 ment, which gradually spread over the entire northern line. in the at tempt to stay the Italian advance on Triente. Fresh men were rushed
 forward by both sides, but the skill and superior qualities of the Italian officers and men counted in the long run, and the Austrians were so sever
 ely defeated in several places that they were compelled to fall back d. long the entire line. It is generally
 believed by the Italian officers that
 the 25,000 German endorsements promised by Germany and later re-
 ported to have left Innsbruck for the
 southern line, took part in the en-
 gagement and were among those com
 pelled to fall back by the Italians. Our losses were of course heavy, up wards of 2s,0OO having been cared
 for in the hospitals at the front. The
 enemy suffered even heavier than did
 our troops, as they made several bay
 onet charges in the open and were
 literally moved down by the machine
 gun and rifle fire of the Italians

London, June 25-There is little if any change to report in the war sit uation today. Russia is slowly fall ing back in the eastern theater be- fore the slow advance of the Ger man Austrian army. This retro. gressive movement is in no sense a rout however, as the Russians are maintaining their alignment and fall ing back in order, turning and in- flicting telling punishment on the ad- vancing Teutons whenever they come within reach. The spirits of the Rus sians remain good in spite of their repeated withdrawls, and the loss of the latter in killed and prisoners is far below that of vonMackensen E wonderful battering machine.
 On the western line, slowly, but none the less surely, the French are smashing the German defensive, the latter having discontinued any at- tempt at an offensive movement in that region for weeks From the Mouse, Champaigne and Lorraine dis triets the news is the same. Here a trench pounded to splinters by the French artillery fire and then occu- pied by the French infantry, there one won after a grilling charge, but all the time the French line is moving ahead. Nor are the Belgian and British idle at the northern end of the line. There they keep up steady attack, day and night winning yard age slowly, but always at heavy cost in men and ammunition.

London, June 26-In spite of all the precautions that are being taken to guard the secret, Great Britain is preparing to resist an advance of the Germans instead of getting ready to make forward movement her self It is now estimated that close to two millions of Britons are in France and Flanders, protected by the most elaborate system of trenches and field Qualifications ever construct cd. They have thousands of cannon of every caliber from the ordinary IS pound field gun to Armstrong 's latest product, a 15 inch morton which is claimed to be the equal of the famous 42 centimeter gun of the Ger mans. The impression of the military staff seems to be that the Germans after disposing of the Russians and sending the Austrian army under German officers against the Italians, will then mass all their available men against the northern end of the Allied line on the West and under. take to batter their way through to the Channel ports. To prevent this will be England aim The roads are now in an excellent condition, and hundreds of motor trucks have been gathered at the principal centers to enable the movement of immense numbers of men in the shortest pos sible time In the meantime. the long range fighting continues between the artillery of both sides firing over the heads of the men in the trenches in front of them. This is intersperced with hand to hand fighting at inter- vasl which tends to keep both sides occupied in the hope that they may, sometime, catch the other side nap plng and thus secure some advantage over them.

Petrograd, June 25-The German advance has crossed the Dneister river south of Chadorow. This is talk en to indicate that they are attemp-- ing to surround the second Russian. army which is now between 1t and I.emberg. The latter however, are falling back as rapidly as possible For the first time in months the Ger mans are bringing forward their cavalry, this advance being screened behind a considerable number of horsemen As the Russian rearguard is made up largely of Cossacks and other light cavalry, it is expected that engagements between the horsemen will now occur. The Cossacks have been giving good accounts of them selves of late, harassing the German Austrian Hanks at all times and cut. ting off struggling parties.

BROOKLYN FANS HOPED
FOR REMNANT THIS YEAR

The failure of the Brooklyn Nation-
ais to come through with a pennant
this season has been great disap-
pointment to the large army of Brook
lyn fans, but there is some consola.
tion, even in this failure They have
a first division club for the first time
in Is years; and all signs point for a
better team next year.
The era of second division ball
clubs across the bridge started back
in 1903, during the regime of Ned
Hanlon. Foxy Ed" had made quite
record in the four preceding cam
paigns, but he was not able to check
the old Superbas when they began to
slip in 1903. *<.
Hanlon had led his team home in
front in 1889 and 1900, finished third
in 1901 ana second in 1902. But the
great team of these years got in the
path of the American League war
scouts, and it was dealt staggering
blow thereafter.
