claim continuation of the advance
Nin the Czartorysk region. The num-
Der of Teutonic prisoners is increas-
ing.
The French report small gains on
the Somme front. Bad weather is
hampering military operations. Sew
eral hundred prisoners were taken
last night.
Violent artillery engagements are
reported from the Verdun front.
INNUMERABLE GUNS OF THE
ENGLISH
The British, aided by innumerable
guns and waves of infantry, continue
their slow progress to bring the front
between Ancre and Montauban on a
level with the French line further
south.
N According to reports from Holland,
Ne Belgian soldiers are aiding the
nglo-French offensive.
The Russians are making progress
against Delatyn, Galicia, Kovel, Volh-
$ynia and Baranovichi, north Of the
Pripet marshes. The Teutons admit
the withdrawal of their lines in
Galicia and Volhynia because of the
rapid Russian advance in Galicia and
defeat in a counter attack in the
Lutzk sector. Unofficial reports say
Delatyn is surrounded on three sides.
TWO THOUSAND YARDS OF
TRENCHES
After terrific fighting yesterday
the British announced the capture of
two thousand yards of German
trenches to a depth of FIVE hundred
yards east of Laboiselle. This gain is
in addition to thousand yards taken
Thursday night. The bitterest strug-
gle took place when the British cap
tured the village Of Eovillers.
ENGLAND HAS THE ARTILLERY
The question Of whether Great Brit
ain will be able to continue an ade-
quate supply of ammunition to con-
tinue their present offensive has re-
ceived an answer from Frederick G.
Kellaway, a member Of parliament
who is closely allied with the ministry
of munitions. He said that if the
Germans cannot be driven out of
France otherwise, the British army
shall have a supply of guns that their
climbers shall touch each other in a
continuous line from the Somme to
the sea-" He added that four thou
sand controlled firms are now making
munitions and that the total number
of munition workers was three and a
half million, including more than six
hundred thousand women.

READY FOR ANY RAID

San Antonio, July 8.-American
troops along the border are being
held in readiness to rush to any point
threatened by the newly organized
bandits in Chihuahua. All stations
are prepared for news of the advanc-
ing raiders, who Carranza reports
said yesterday were headed toward
Ojinaga, opposite Preside, Texas.
Although taking all precautions,
army officers don't believe the ban
dts will attempt any movement in
force toward the north, especially if
Villa is in command. They think
the bandits intend to merely harrass
Carranza troops in Chihuahua.

Posted Notices, to Ward OFF
Serious Possibilities

Owing to possibilities of serious dis
turbances arising from persistent agi-
tatioa by members of the l. w. W.
among workers in lumber camps near
Bovill, the Potlatch Lumber company
yesterday posted notices to the effect
that all adherents of that organization
will be discharged from the campany
camps, and that no employment will be
given to sympathizers of the organiza-
ton.
Sheriff ]. J. Campbell returned yes
terday afternoon from BoyilI where he
went on an official visit to study con-
ditions. He states that, contrary to a
report circulated in Spokane, there has
been no strike in the Potlatch camps
begun.
The company has taken this precau-
tionary step for the benefit of some of
their workmen who do not care to
work under the influence of the dis
turbing element which the l. w. WIS
would introduce into the camps.
The notices which the company has
posted read as follows:
ITO the employees of the Potlatch
Lumber company: AS it is we'll
known fact that the /. W. VS. have
made trouble in other places and have
caused good men to leave permanent
jobs and steady employment where the
]. w. w. have become numerous and
disturbers of the peace, and as they
have recently been agitating more or
less among our employees, it has be-
come necessary for the protection of

terests to discharge all members of

with their past actions in other]
