COLON|ALS HOLD
GAINS ALONG LINE
AUSTRALIANS HAVE ADVANTAGE
IN DESPERATE ENCOUNTER
WITH GERMANS.
Caught Between Two Forces, Advanc-
Ing Teutons Are Compelled to Sur
render.-Another Wave of German
Resistance on Russian Front.

London.-Under a merciless concen-
tration of shell fire the Australians
held on to their gains Sunday after
their advance Saturday night on
front of two miles. The Germans al
ready had delivered three powerful
counter-attacks to retake the lost
ground and all failed.
In coe of the counter-attacks the
Germans came forward holding up
their hands. Behind them the British
guns had placed curtains of shell fire
through which it was impossible for
them to retreat while the Australians
machine guns and rifles, moving
them down, made it hopeless to con-
tinue the charge. 1t was death which
ever way they moved-death If they
stood still or laid down in the bullet
swept space and they surrendered
rather than continue their vain eff
fort.
Their last previous attack having
been by the right flank, the British re-
newed the offensive by the left flank
after a week of bombing and sapping.
Here the task fell to the Australians,
who added another victory to their
brilliant record in the taking of Po-
zieres. In grilling heat, under blaz-
ing sun, they had been working In
continual shell fire, digging their new
trenches In the open beyond Pozieres
facing the German second line trench
es on the left of the break the British
had already made in their previous
attacks.
Since the loss of Brody by the Aus
trians and the successful operations
of the Russians against the Germans,
which resulted in their gaining the
whole of the line along the Stokhod
end the capture of several fortified VII
ses considerably west Of this river
on the direct route to Kovel, the sit
uation on the Russian General Brus-
siloff's front has remained virtually
unaltered
The Russians by no means have lost
control of the initiative, but another
wave OF most energetic German re-
sistance has set in and the newly or
ganized German army, which is COM
posed Of all available reserves and
fresh recruits, has undertaken the
task of changing its tactics from pas
sive resistance to a most active
counter offensive. Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's personal direction of tho
operations in this field is quite ap-
parent, but it is not thought possible
by the Russian observers that he can
more than temporarily check the ad-
vance of the Russian forces upon
Kovel.

Washington, Aug. 8 Especial Cor
up in the air in the senate on the i'm
migration bill. The fact that the
president is opposed to the measure
and wants to put it over until the
next session of congress has caused
several democratic candidates for the
senate a great deal of anxiety The
fact that the republicans will attempt
to tack the bill in It's entirety on the
child labor bill has disconnected the
administration senator's. This meas
ure is one of great public interest and
has almost the solid support of the
republican members of the upper
branch Senator Gallinger has al
ways been strong for the bill and is
one of the republican leaders who is
forcing the democrats to action at
present on this proposition. The
democrats in caucus acceeded to the
wishes of the president and voted to
postpone it until the next session, but
the republicans propose to put them
on record and will force a vote at
this session, if possible.
A prominent citizen of Maine was
a recent guest of one of the Republi-
can congressman from that state.
Speaking Of the outlook there he said
IF / can judge anything from the
way people are talking, the democrats
are due for an awful jolting down in
Main in September. Practically all
of the progressives are back i'll the
fold. There are not enough left for
a coroners jury. With united par
ty, | look for clean sweep form one
end of the state to the other. | feel
confident that all four of the con-
gressional districts will be again re-
publican. The second district now
represented by Congressman McGilli-
cudy, will return a republican. We
shall elect both United States senat-
ors. That's the way the people talk
down in Maine"
Representative James I. Floyd of
Missouri, one of the veteran members
of the house, a democrat In politics
and former chairman of the demo-
cratic congressional committee, is not
very optimistic about Missouri. He
gave the other members of the dele
CATION cold shivers when he state
publicly that there is not 1000 diff
ference between the republican and
democratic votes of that state. While
he stated that he thought the demo-
cras might carry Missouri, his words
were not tinged with enthusiasm and
apparently were not filled with great
hope. Coming from such source IL
is little wonder that the democrats
are alarmed about the state.

PUBLICITY
CAMPAIGN
State Chamber of Com
merce Doing Good Work

has been started by the State of Ida
no. This movement is in charge of
an organization of public spirited
citizens, and the intention is to bring
1 the resources and opportunities of that
section of the country to the atten-
ton of landseekers and investors in
a clear and reliable way.
The organization which is pushing
this task is known as the Idaso State
Chamber of Commerce, and it has
the use of sufficient fund of money
for carrying on a vigorous and pro-
tracted campaign After thorough
Investigation of the Chicago Herald's S
Land and Industrial Exhibition, in
the Ashland block, the Idaho people
have placed an exhibit and supplied
series of photographs for moving
picture use in connection with the
Heralds enterprise.
For the next Is months the pro-
1ucts of Idaho soil, including grain,
fruit, vegetables, minerals, timber,
etc, will be exhibited in the Ashland
Block and explained in the trave-
logue service in the Herald's moving
picture theatre.
Many of the fine scenes represent
ing the more picturesque sections of
Idaho are already on hand in the
Herald's bureau and may be seen at
my hour of the day. There is much
lbout the natural wealth of Idaho
hat will interest the outside world,
md in the campaign to secure set
slers the state leaders propose to give
strictly authentic and reliable infor-
nation.
1t is a we'll known fact that many
products raised in the rich new soil
If the young western state are much
superior to the average.
This is best illustrated by the fact
hat many large eastern seed houses
ire contracting for peas, beans, clo
yer, alfalfa, timothy and similar pro-
iucts raised by Idaho farmers. All
seeds for field crops which are known
% comet rom Idaho are in keen de-
nand at high prices. 1t is claimed
shat no country in the world is SUI
1erior to the Snake River Valley in
oroductiveness and in imparting to
seeds and field products generally
those qualities which reliable dealers
insist on furnishing to their custom
srs. The country around st. Anthony
md Rexburg is specially noted for
the quality of its farm commodities.
The sugar beet industry is growing
rapidly and adding to the reputation
If the state Through Lincoln, Good
ing, Blaine and Elmore counties the
i've stock and dairy industries are
.lso making rapid strides. In the
sawtooth forest reserve there are
,ver 100000 sheep grazing at the
present time, besides many thousand
lead of beef cattle. The mining and
umber Industries of northern Idaho
ontinue to produce millions of dol
ars' worth of products annually, and
ire still in their infancy. All the facts
which the chamber of commerce is
narshalling for public use are inspir-
itiona1, and the campaign is likely to
lttract general attention.

When nominations for state offices
closed at 4 o'clock Saturday after
noon the tickets of both parties were
filled, except that the democrats put
forth no candidate for superintendent
of public instruction. Three other va
cancies that had existed on that ticket
were filed almost at the last hour.
There are many contests among the
republicans, but candidates on the
democratic ticket are more fortunate
and few will have to enter the prim-
ary fight.
During the afternoon nomination
papers we're filed with the secretary
of state by friends of Erv. Johnson
of Boise, a candidate for secretary OF
state, and B. M. Holt of Caldwell, a
candidate for lieutenant governor.
Both men will appear on the repub-
liean ticket in the primaries.
Democrats who filed during the day
included Marion j. Kerr of st. An
thony for congress, Solomon p. Wor-
thington of Oakley for state treasur-
er, T. A. Walters of Caldwell for at
torney general, and Thomas p Fry
of Silver City for mine inspector.
Bell Gets Nomination.
On the Republican ticket only Rob
ert N Bell, mine inspector, is without
opposition. Captain l.. V. Patch, a
candidate on the republican ticket for
lieutenant governor, had no opponent
until Holt filed Saturday.
The governor, a candidate for re-
election; Thomas d. Fry, candidate
for mine inspector; Clarence Van
Deusen, candidate for state auditor;
Walters, Worthington. and the candi-
dates for congress, are all withouc
opposition on the Democratic ticket,
and failures of others to file insures
their nomination.
There will be three candidates in
the primaries for the nomination OF
supreme court justice on non-par-
tisan ballot Two of these must be
voted for, and the two having the
highest number of votes will be can
didates at the election in November
Three widely separated sections OF
the state are represented by the can
didates in the field.
On the republican list are four
candidates for congress, four for gov
ernor, two for lieutenant governor,
three for secretary of state, four for
state auditor, two for treasurer, four
for attorney general, two for superin-
tendent of public instruction and one
for mine inspector
