in which Austrians and Germans are
making their supreme effort, is being
wagcd along the great Russian front
which extends nearly thousand miles
from the Baltic to Bessarabia.
In Russian Poland. the center of
the maelstrom is the territory around
Warsaw, and from the north and the
south, the Austro-Gcrmans under tho
most successful officers in the Ger
man command, Won Hindenbcrg and
won Mackenscn. are advancing with
the determination of pressing back or
breaking through the Russian lines of
defense.
Grand Duke Nicholas. the Russian
COMMUNICATIVE chief. has. if unofficial
reports are to he relied upon, brought
up vast numbers of troops to meet the
sweep of the Acknowledgements, who,
however. have forced The Russian
front al several points. No late ad-

tions have been received which would
seem to he an indication that no de
cisivc gain has been made on either
side.
In Poland alone. il is estimated that
several million men are engaged in
the battle and the opinion j. express

MORE LIGHT ON
CLOSING LAWS
Saloons Must Close Doors At
10 O'clock Saturday
Nights

An apparent misunderstand-
ing of the new saloon closing
laws passed at the recent session
of the legislature, has prompted
Attorney General d. M. Kelly to
issue a statement in which he
gives his Interpretation of the
statutes, and which will be sent
out to shcriffs and county attorn-
eys in every county in Montana,
says the Helena Independent.
He recently issued an opinion
on the subject, but evidently
there has been some misunaer-
standing, in view of numerous in
quiries that have been received.
Mr.. Kel?y's statement is as fol-
lows:
ITO All County Attorneys and
Sheriffs:
because of widespread inter-
est in, and diversity of opinion
as to the recent Interpretation of
the Sunday closing law, senate
bill GO, | have thought it we'll to
send out a general letter upon
the SUBJ ect.
"Senate bill GO relates only to
Sunday closing. | have held that
under its terms saloons must
close in all places in Montana,
Incorporated or unincorporated,
at 10 O'Clock on Saturday., and
remain closed until l O'Clock 3.
m. Of Sunday following, except
in cities Of the first class, and
within one mile Of the limits
thereof, in which places they
may remain open until II p. m.
on Saturday nights.
'Senate hilI 62 was intended
to relate to, and regulate the
closing of saloons on every day
in the week. by its terms sa-
looms in incorporated cities and
within one mile Of cities of the
first class are permitted to re-
main open until II o'clock mid
night, In all other places they
are required to close at 10 p. m.
Eigh. a. m. is the time for open
ing on all days except Sunday.
'lnasmuch as senate bill GO
was the later act, being approx
ed some two days later, it takes
precedence over 5i!I 81, in mat
tiers covered by it; to-Wit, Sun

Yours very truly,
