The British have been doing the

involved in engagements of only minor
character south of the Scmme. The
British ,nd siu:t have made material gains in
paume. After days of fighting the
Australian forces under Gen. Haig
seized house by house and family came
into possession of Pozieres. This gain
has been extended on either side of
! this important town, which sits on the
high road to Bapaume and at point
dominating the plains looking toward
Bapaume.
Not only were the British successful
in seiZing this highly important posi-
ton, but extended their gains all along
the line which runs almost east and
west between Thiepval to Longueval.

their general defensive scheme of
things, it is but natural that they
should assemble exceptionally strong
forces in this section. The Teutonic re-
sistance has been remarkable consid-
ering the numbers of the enemy en-

forced to give ground slowly. and that

the allies is generally believed.
1t Is significant fact that the French
and British, practically all the way
from Souville to Thiepval, the southern
most and northernmost points of the
present allied salient on both sides Of
the Somme, face German third line
trenches. Some of these have been
punctured, but in the main the German
third line positions may be said to be
intact, but If dispatches from the front
are to be given credence, these are
not as strong those which have al
ready been Nstormed by the allies and
neither is the character of the territory
to their rear subject to any prolonged
effective defensive measures.

Petrograd as well as London Is in
clined to believe that the present drive
of the Russian armies is but the be-

While the Turks are beset sorely In
Armenia, they claim to have made some
successful movements in the direction
of the Suez canal. but England en-
phatically denies that British cavalry
forces which are protecting the canal
have in the slightest degree been en-
gagged with advance Turkish detach-
ments. The Arabs continue their re-
bellion against the Turkish yoke, and
from all accounts are proving real
menace to the Ottoman lines along the
coast, which are necessary to any sue
cessful operations against the canal
If Turkeys plight is great by virtue OF

terested in the successful advances OF the
hynia and in those regions in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Riga, chief attention
of allied capitals, it may be said, today is
diverted TO the Balkan regions, for it is
here that the allies are expected next to
begin offensive warfare. IN fact, already
the armies of Serbia are attacking those
Bulgarian forces which forced themselves
into Grecian .tacedonia few months
ago But the Serbian effort may be
taken as but a prelude to a greater drive
one in which every energy and every
modern implement Of destructive warfare
will be used by the French and British
who at present hold strong positions
along the Macedonian front before Sa-
loniki
That the time for this offensive effort
is ripe is not questioned.
The present is particularly opportune.
IL is believed in London and Paris. be-
cause of tho fact-if credence can be
attached to isolated dispatches emanat-
ing from various points-the Teutonic
allied forces in this region are smaller
than at any time since the great drive
against Serbia was inaugurated AS

Judge. Shumate of the Ninth jndicial

Receivership For Town of Oak Creek
Denied

The final judgment and decree of
Judge Shlmate of the district court
was this week handed down in the
case brought in the name of the Routt
County bank and others for the ap-
pointment of receiver for the town
of Oak Creek. The receivership asked
for was denied, as was the motion OF
the attorneys that their fees in the
case be paid out of the towns treas
ury. The first or principal report of
E. B. Parker, the referee appointed to
check up the financial affairs of the
town, is approved, but the secondary
report, making recommendations is
adopted only in part.
Judge Shumate's decree condemns
the conduct of the towns officers IN
many particulars, especially in having
issued and registered warrants to an
amount of $1,423.1s in excess of the
constitutional limitation. The decree
declares that the towns expenditures
should be kept within its revenues
