obstinate fighting in the sector OF
the East Beskid mountains (along the
boundary between Hungary and Ga

weeks, reached it's climax at Easter.
Continual Russian attacks, especially
on both sides of the Laborcza valley,
where the enemy was REINFORCED by
majority of the troops which had be-
sieged Przemysl. were repulsed with
enormous losses to the enemy. Coun-

west and east Of the valley several
strong Russian positions.
Though the fighting at this point
has not yet terminated. our success in
the Easter battle, in which some TO-
900 unwounded prisoners were cap
tured, is indisputable."

Semi.TaiIored Waists.

According to the Drygoods Econ
omist, fashions continue to favor the
semitailored effects which give the
narrow appearance across the shout
ders and call for the sleeve set in at
the regulation arm size, in snug-fitting
cut. The blouse is very much modified
in order to accentuate the natural
curve of the figure. These styles are
more favorable to long sleeves than to
short.

Investigating Committee.

A committee composed Of three
senators of the present Montana legis-
ature will probe the affairs of the
state offices and boards, not in tue
nope or belief that amy irregularities
sill be uncovered, but merely in ful
tillment Of the platform pledges Of
the Republican party during the last
campaign, when it was promised that
the Republican policy was along lines
Of retrenchment and an effort to
place the affairs of the government of
She state upon u business basis.
The committee was appointed upon
tile motion Of Senator Reuben Dwight
Of Sanders county, who was named
chairman Of the Investigating body.
The other members are Senator A.
{. Grande OF Meagher county, and
Senator j. e. Edwards of Rosebud
county. Former attorney general
Albert } Galen has been retained by
The committee TO conduct the inyes-
tigation, and the hearings which are
now under way are being held most
~ at night in order not to conflict
with the other duties of the senators
who are members of the committee.
Some of the Democratic politicians
have endeavOred to create the i'm
preston thai the senate probe is IN
outgrowtl of the petty squabble
about the legislative employees pay
,.pll. and that the senate 8 action was
taken in an effort to "play even"
s'ith the governor. The Republican,
senators deny that such is the case,
and assert that the probe would have
come regardless of the employees pay
roll fuss, which, they declare, is a
matter OF minor Importance SO far as
the senate is concerned.
That the probe is following the Re-
publican .party's program OF retrencl-
ment is evident from the fact that
prior to the Dwight motion, bills had
been INTRODUCED in the senate abolish
tng the office of state parole commits
sioner, the office of steamboat ill.,

sealers OF weights and measures, and

he office Of state tax commissioner.

the office Of state tax commissioner.
All Of these measures except the
last one were introduced by RepubIi-
can senator's. The bill to abolish the
tax commissioner 8 Office was intro
duced by Senator O'Shea, Democrat,
OF Carbon county, but inasmuch as
it is in line with the Republican
policy of retrenclment. the judiciary
committee, which has II Republican
majority, favOraliy reported the bill
back to the senate.
This action regarding Senator o.
Shea's bill is alone sufficient refuta-
tio, Of any charges that the Repub-
leans in the senate are departing
from platform pledges to play the
game of politics. If Democratic
senator had not presented the bill to
abolish the tax commissioner office,
a Republican senator would have
done so in due time. But Demo
crat did present it, and the Republi
can majority have stamped the
measure with their approval because
of what it contains and regardless
OF its origin.
1.-The senate investigation is solely
for the purposes set forth in the mo-
ton creating the committee" said
Senator Dwight, chairman of the
body. sit is to ascertain whether or
not the state is getting value received
for the money spent by and IN its
various departments; to ascertain
whether or not the affairs Of state
are being administered upon i; bust
ness basis.
1--WE make 10 charges. we are after
information, and this is the only
manner in which it eau be obtained
The investigation is not being COIL
Quoted, nor did it originate in \
spirit of luminosity. We have moth
ing to agenge. But we have oui
platform pledges to live up to and a
policy OF retrenchment to conform to.
and we propose to do both.
''If there are extravagances in the
administration Of the state govern
ment, this investigation will show
them to us, aud we will endeavor to
remedy them. If, OH the other hand

an adequate return to the state, WE
will find that out also. We want tc
