or of town attorney for S. instead of sl5.
Certainly. if the Gunnison Republican
is going to do the town printing-and

that-then the town con afford TO pay

ing the council will reconsider and
sbrogate this contract and buy their
goods at fair rate.

ITALY PROGRESSES
 UNDER DIFFICULTIES

ROME. Aug. 3--Although they have made important gains in the great battle on the Isonzo front for the possession of Gorizia and Tolmino, the Italians have been subjected to the most violent counter attacks by the Austrians.
 The ten forts crowning the heights of Mount Sabotina and Mount Pod erg are being battered by the Italian howitzers. Already some of the trenches on the slopes of Podgora have been carried by the forces of King Victor Emanuel
 Two lines of Austrian trenches on Cargo plateau have been carried by the Italians who made hundreds Of prisoners. A number of machine guns was also captured Under ter rife artillery fire the Italian engin- eers are building some more bridges across the Isonzo and more Italian troops are being moved to the eastern bank to support the forces that are trying to eneircle Gorizia
 Near Playa there is bloody hand-to hand fighting in the trenches.
 Both sides are experiencing the ut most difficulty in removing their wounded owing to the mountainous condition of the ground, and at some points 1t IS impossible to bury the dead owing to the rocky soil.
 Tolmino lies about 20 miles north of Gorizia at point where the Is- onzo valley is about two miles wide. Up on the sides of this valley the mountains rise 5000 feet in the air and are crowned with strong Aus trian forts.
 The value of Tolmino lies in it's strategic relation to railway lines running into Trieste. and in the fact that 1t is the present Austrian base of operations

ADMIRAL SAYS SUBMARINE WAR
 MUST CONTINUE

LONDON, Aug. 3.-"Down with the ships that cross the bows of our val iant U boats, and. above all. with those carrying munitions under pro- lection of humanityl Our note has clearly declared that the presence of American passengers on board will make no difference in this respect"
 Admiral Kirchoff is credited with having made this statement in the course of an interview with the Taeg- iche Rundschau which has been sent to the Evening News by it's cores pondent at The Hague
 Denouncing the official British yer diet in Che Lusitania case Germany will continue her submarine attacks, on unarmed merchant vessels, regard less of the fate of passengers from neutral countries.
 "Kirchoff says. 1" continued the arti- cle in the News. that the officials of the German -government the Admir- atty and the crews of the submarines will sleep peacefully in the face of the English accusations. and they will continue just as before, to commit such acts. no matter how loudly prov. ed and sanctimonious British may shriek about murder

AUSTRIA LAUNCHES
 DEFENSE

ROME. Aug. S.-A powerful ofen- slve campaign is being planned by the Austrians against Italy as Q result of the certainty of the fall of Warsaw which, 1t is believed by the Teutonic allies, cannot be delayed long.
 Confirmation of this information comes through Swiss channels that the Austrian forces which are now on. the defensive against the Italian in- vaders are being reinforced in great numbers. and that all preparations are being completed to launch de- termined drive against the southern country with an invasion without de- lay as the objective. Troops are all ready being massed, according to the dispatches from Switzerland, at cen ters that will permit of their being dispatched to the various passes and avenues leading into Italy.
 The Italian government has been expecting such a movement ever since it became evident that the Rus sians were in serious difficulty. and Italian commanders are strengthen ing their strategic positions, and ac- tive offensive movements are being pressed on all parts of the front.

GREECE DEBATING
 QUESTION OF
 WAR OR PEACE

ATHENS, Aug. B. Exceeding in interest the war itself, in this city, is the question now being fought out in the chamber of deputies, of wheth- CT or not and fl so how soon Greece will enter the war. The first few days of the session have been taken up with routine business concerning internal affairs. but the real issne is coming to the front rapidly in spite of all efforts Of the peace and pro-Teuton elements to delay action.
 With Venizelos the avowed friend of England and France, at the helm, backed by a tremendous majority Of the chamber. 1t is believed there can be no great delay in declaring Greece an ally of the Quadruple entente. The Hellenic mind is made up, and nothing can stem the popular demand for tm- mediate participation in the war. The Greek army, trained and hardy fight CTS, is anxious to get into the cam paign against Turkey A hundred thousand men are in training and the reserves have been notified of the government intention to call them to the colors

The company which operates the Alliance is under the management of Richard Semmes, for meriy an official with the Admiral Line
 The Delhi is lying at anchor on tho flats at the month of Ketchikau creek. having been lowed here re- gently from Sumner Strait. She is the property or J. R. Heckman and Capt. James Sayles.

TURKS HAVE NO
 MORE MUNITION
 FACTORIES WORKING

LONDON. Aug. S- German muni- tion factories in Turkey are paralyzed according to a Petrograd dispatch to the Morning Post which says that an absolute stoppage in the coal sup ply to Turkey is responsible.
 The activity of the Russian sub marines in the Black Sea in having sunk ship after ship laden with coal and other supplies for the Turks is what in the long run will produce, the Post dispatch predicts, marked results in the Dardanelles conflict"
 Upward of sixty ships, bearing coal and other supplies to Constantinople, were sunk within one week by the Russian undersea boats, as reported in cable dispatches some days ago,

OF WAR 7. .a
 AMUNITION CAUSES
 RUSSIA'S RUIN

WASHINGTON Aug S.--Russia is still in the greatest need of war SUD- plies. Shipments in anything like extensive volume of guns and ammu- nition of all sorts just have begun going by way of Pacific coast ports to v1adiyostok, the easternmost port of Siberia. and thence by rail over the Trans-Siberian railway.
 The most reliable information is that it will require three months of steady shipment to equip the Russian forces opposing the Austrian-G German armies in Poland and Galicia in sat- isfactory. manner The almost hyster- ical demands that have come from the Russian government for the speed in forwarding guns and ammunition evidences a most acute need for them.
 There has been a great deal of con- lecture in this country as to the cause for the lack of weapons and ammunition adequate properly to equip the Russian army.
 Russia Had Big Reserve
 The real reason probably has never been told Russia. before the begin ming of the war, was known not on- ly to have maintained factories for the manufacture of guns and ammu- nition for ordinary needs but to have had a reserve supply sufficient to pre- vent it from being taken by surprise in the event of war. The most import ant factories capable of turning out war materials were in the neighbor- hood of Petrograd. Moscow, Nijni.No- vogorod, Tiflis, odessa and sebasto- pol.
 Curing the forty-eight hours preced- ing and following the declaration of war by Germany against Russia these plants were put out of business by in- eendiary= fires and dynamite explos- ions. The Russians always have felt justified in receding the destruction of their munitions to the work of Ger man spies or through the use of Ger man money ftfft
 During the tumult that followed the declaration .of state of war be- tween Germany and Austria the out side world knew nothing of the devas- tauon wrought to the Russian armies by the enemy although it now de- yelops that some men who were caught red-handed were shot or hanged. The strict censorship, then maintained at Petrograd and other Russian cities prevented any know ledge of the disasters from reaching the outside world h6 i' el9ini'H.f1'
 That the blow struck by Germany against Russia, however was pretty thorough and complete is evidenced by the fact that only within the last three months have any of these arms plants been restored to working con ditions and with a minimum of out put, inadequate to supply more than one-fourth of the actual needs of the Russian military forces.
