The state seeks to turn the King

with the understanding the reclamation
service. which is under the supervision
of the interior department, will ex-
pend an appropriation it is hoped to
secure from congress to complete the
irrigation system and provide for the
future management of the project, now
the property of the state.
1t was said at the state house by
those familiar with the project affairs
that government supervision of the
system is closer now than 1t has ever
been and that IL is easily within the
range of possibilities.
The governor was very much pleased
over the prompt action taken regarding

RUSSIANS Bring
Great PRESSURE
ON THE TEUT0NS
Attempt Being Made to
Threat General Won Falk-
enhayn's Line of Commu-
nications Into Rumania.
ASSOCIATED PRESS WAR SUM-
NARY

Having assembled what seems to be
huge force along the range of the
lower Carpathians, the Russians are
pressing their great offensive on a
front of approximately $50 miles, run
ming along the western frontier of the
Rumanian province of Moldavla, and
extending northwest along the Buko-
wilma border. They already are de-
clared to have scored such successes as
to lead to expectations that the supply
lines of General Won Falkenhayn's ar
mics invading Rumania from the north
may shortly be seriously menaced.
DANGER TO RUMANIANS.
The threat to the Rumanians comes
from Field Marshal Won Mackenzen on
the southeast.
Controlling virtually the entire
course of the Danube as far as Tcher-
navoda- as they do, the Teutonic allies
1t has been pointed out, seemed likely
to attempt throwing forces across 1t at
points further and further east to out
flank the line taken up by the Ruma-
mans as they retired under the pres
sure of Won Falkenhayns forces from
the north and west and such of Won
Mackenzens troops as are already ON
the north bank of the river.
NEW CROSSING MADE.
Entente commentators point out that
such a move may now have been eff
fected, taking mention by Petrograd
that hostile patrols have appeared near
Lake Griaka as indicating that a new
crossing has been made by Won Mac
kenzen's forces near Ollenitza, south
east of Bucharest and If carried far
enough would altogether cut off their
retreat.
