FATE OF CAMPAIGN WILL NOT BE
DECIDED FOR YEAR, SAYS
PETROGRAD.
SLAVS FORTIFY NEW FRONT
Line Is Being Strengthened by --latest
Methods Known to Military En-
gineers-Czar's Armies I
Are Still Intact.

London, Aug. 3o.-GeneraI Poll,
vanoff, Russian minister of war, an.
nounces that Russia is raising another
100000 men and that the fate Of the
campaign will not be decided before
some time next year, according to the
Petrograd correspondent Of the Times,
London, Aug. 30.-The Germans, in
full possession of the entire Brest.
Litovsk line, have resumed the OF.
fensive in the Baltic provinces and are
pressing the Russians both in the dis.
trcts southeast of Mitau and to the
east of Kovno, in an effort to reach
the main line of railway which passes
through Wilma and Dvinsk to Petro.

most important Of the German opera.
hons, although at present they are
using more troops in the pursuit of the
Russians who are retiring from Brest-
Litovsk and the line on either side of
the fortress.
Attempt to Cut OF Slavs.
1t is expected, however. that with
the fall Of Brest-Litovsk which had
been followed by that of Olita, south
of Kovno, the armies of field Marshal
Won Hindenburg will be REINFORCED
and make another attempt to cut Off
the retreat of the Russians. 1t is be-
lieved here, however, that it is too late
to accomplish this purpose.
The Russians apparently had evacu-
| %ol
fore the Germans arrived, as the lat
ter make no claim to the capture of
guns and booty. The Austrian official
report states that Archduke Joseph
Ferdinand found the town of Kamien-
iez-litovsk in flames when he arrived.
There are indications therefore that
the Russians still are carrying to the
rear everything movable that might
prove of use to the invaders and burn
ing what they are unable to take with
them.
Russians Fortify New Front,
The iatipation 1eat Tue Russians
have fortified another front pending
an opportunity for renewed often

1t Is stated that the new line is being
strengthened by all the latest methods
known 60 military engineers. The
Russian armies still are intact with
virtually all their guns and prospects
of more plentiful supply of ammuni.

here are Of the opinion that Grand
Duke Nicholas now should be able to
make stand, as the Austro-German

The FINAL WORD
BEFORE The GAME

School opens in District % Tuesday,
Sept. 7th. That is the day for all
children of school age to enroll. If it
is necessary for some of the older pu-
pills to be out for few days in order
to help thresh, permission may be Sc
cured from the principal or teacher to
do so. However it is most important
that we have our full enrolment by the
end of the first week in order that the
school may be properly organized. All
pupils in the district are expected to
enroll the first week,
AS the consolidated school west of
Roman will not be completed by the
time school opens, all Of the old build
ings will be used for awhile except the
Glacierview building. The Glacier
view children are expected to start in
at Roman at the beginning. The high
school pupils of the section west of Ro-
nan must start in at Roman at the be-
ginning also, and continue until such
time as the new consolidated school is
ready to receive them.
1t is fully understood that the new
Leon school building shall be ready for
immediate use at the beginning of
school. However in case it should not
be ready, school will be begun in the
old Leon building, This would be a
severe hardship since three rooms are
required at Leon this year, and there
are but two in the old building.
When Beginners May Enter.
Beginners, that is, children who have
not previously been in school, will be
received only during the first month.
No new classes will be organized DUR
ing the year. This is in the interest
Of everyone concerned. To admit be-
ginners during the year would be to
upset the whole organization, require
twice the teaching force, and handicap
the work of the school from top to
bottom.
Children of five and one half years
and older will be received, provided
they are able to do the work of their
classes and to profit by attendance.
Younger children will not be received.
Every child entering the first and
second grades should bring with him to
the teacher slip of paper bearing his
OF her written name and age, also the
names of the parents.
We would ask the painstaking CO.
operation Of every parent as an essen
tial to maximum progress of his chill
dren and the children of others. This
is especially important in the matter
of attendance, and in the matter of
written excuses in case of unavoidable
absence or hardness. The only suf
ficient excuse, with few exceptions, is
sickness.
earnestly ask parents, for the sake of
their children's progress and wholesome
development, to firmly resolve, on the
first day of school, never once during
the year to utter in the presence of
their children single word of criti-
cism Of the teacher and to stand
squarely with the teacher at all times
in the presence of their children in all
school matters. If you really disagree
with an act or word of the teacher, or
if you are in doubt, speak to the teacher
privately. Discuss the matter with the
teacher before you take it to the prin-
cipal or superintendent, if it concerns
the teacher. Likewise by the driver
The public schools are founded on the
Golden Rules. R. Logan, Supt.

waited for him in grocery store.

London, Aug. 30.-The capture OF

considered more significant is the ac-

been bombarding German positions in
France as well as munition factories
across the border.

TION TO UNITED STATES
FOR SINKING OF
ARABIC.
PREPARATION FOR DEATHS
DUE TO LUSITANIA LOSS
Teuton Ambassador Informs State De-
Renew Discussion of Incident
Report Of U-Boat Captain
Expected.

Washington, Aug. 30.--Gerlknny's
intention to offer full satisfaction to
the United States for the sinking OF
the liner Arabic with a loss of two
American lives has been communicat.
ed formally to the state department
by Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador on instructions from the
Berlin foreign office.
The ambassador read to Secretary
Lansing memorandum outlining the
position of his government. 1t prom
ised that if it was found that the
Arabic was attacked without warning
the Imperial government not only
would promptly disavow the act, but
would give the United States full
satisfaction" This, it is we'll known,
would have to include reparation for
the Americans lost and assurances
that such tragedies would not be re-
peated.
In Waiting Attitude.
No further developments in the sit
uation are expected now until the sub
marine commander who sank tho Ara
bic has reported to Berlin. In the
meantime President Wilson and Secre-
tary Lansing, though visibly encour-
aged and relieved by Count voH Bern
storH's assurances and reports from
Ambassador Gerard on his conferences
with Foreign Minister Won Jagow are
in a waiting attitude.
Before the American government
can speak, there must be forthcoming
the German disavowal and eNplana-
tion of what all evidence received has
seemed to prove was an "unfriendly
act"
For Lusitania Deaths.
1t became known that the state de-
partment has been informed that Ger
many is ready to renew discussion of
the Lusitania incident and to offer rep
aration for the American lives lost
when that vessel was sent to the bot
tom without warning by German
submarine. There has been no re-
sponse to the last American note on
this subject, and it is known that the
United States would not listen to rep
aration proposals with the situation
created by the sinking of the Arabic
still pending. With the attack on the
Arabic disavowed, however, and guar
antees given against repetition, Ger
man communication explaining that
the Lusitania was torpedoed as a re-
prisal against Great Britain under
misapprehension that she was armed,
and that killing of Americans was re-
gretted and not intended, and offer
ing reparation, probably would pave
the way for amicably closing the in
cident.
U-5oat Captains Report.
In German quarters, confidence was
felt that the submarines report would
soon reach Berlin.
German officials have made it plain
that their government, as soon as it
has relieved the strain upon it's rela.
tions with the United States by limit
Ing submarine activities, will ask the
American government to demand that
Great Britain and her allies cease in
ter1ering with legitimate Neutral COM
merce and thus permit the inlporta-
tion of foodstuffs for the German civil
population.
