London, Aug. lo.-RepOrtS from
the allied fronts show progress.
Rome reports the capture by the
Italians of fourteen hundred and
fifty Austrian prisoners. Petrograd
claims Russian armies have cleared
the new Austro-German positions on
the Zlota Lipa river, twelve mile
advance. The French report the cap
ture of German trenches for dis
tance of three hundred yards near
Verdun.
Paris, Aug. 15.-The Italian bat
tleship, Leonardo De Zinci, twenty
two thousand three hundred and for
ty tons, caught fire and exploded
while in the harbor at Tarantor,
with a loss Of three hundred men
drowned.
Berlin, Aug. 15.-In retaliation of
the alleged British murder of cap
tured submarine crew the Germans
will wage a Zeppelin campaign in
reprisal raids on the British towns.
No consideration will be given to
lives of civilians.
Petrograd, Aug. 15.-The retreat
of the Austrians from the Stripa
continues, with the Russians pound
ing the Austrian rear guard. Podg-
lacy, on the Koropice, has fallen,
and Gen. Count Won Bothmer's forces
are taking up positions on the west
bank of the Zlota Lipa.
The line of the Austrian defense
as it appears today runs from Bere-
stechll through Shezurovitse along
the head waters of the Styr and
through Olesko-Zboroff to Brzezany,
forming a zig-zag to the upper Zlota
Lipa; along that stream to Korzov,
thence west to Jesupol, ten miles
northwest of Stanislau, thence south
to Solotvina.
In other words, the Austrians,
contracting the circle about Lem
berg, are withdrawing to line be-
tween the Carpathians and Pinsk

Brownsville, Tex, Aug. Is
Brownsville from sleepy city has
been transformed into busy from
tier town. There are probably more
laundries in the city at the present
time, than in any other city in the
United States, not even barring New
York. The arrival of the soldiers
has caused Mexican women to pro-
mote laundries of their own.
The small Mexican boy, they call
him Muchacho down here, comes
through the camps, shining shoes
and soliciting for laundry for his
mother. Almost every officer has at
least one boy who takes his laundry
home to be cleaned The charges
are nominal and aid in keeping down
expenses.
Shoe sinners in the city are in
large numbers also, as every boy be-
tween the ages of 10 and is has a
bootblack box, blackening, etc, and
makes the rounds of the camps sew
eral times each day. The boys make
as high as one and two dollars on
good days, especially on days the
regimental parade is held.

Regarding Potato Markets

We are receiving letters daily from
growers and shippers on the Western
Slope asking for information regard
ing our market. and take this method
of replying to those to whom we NAV
not be able to write Immediately.
Business in Denver is much better
than a year ago, and will furnish a
market for much larger percentage of
Western Slope products than hereto
fore. Colorado potatoes are starting
about two weeks late, and trade here
is depending principally on the Kaw
Valleys which are selling at s1.50 to
s1.60 per cwt. delivered Denver, in
car lots. Fancy White Burbanks from
the Stockton, California, district are
selling at $3.50 to s2.75 delivered Den
yer; but owing to the high price very
few of them arer being used. Onions
have been extremely high all season
running around $3.50 per cwt. f. o. b.
Los Angeles. We anticipate good
prices on both potatoes and onions
from the Western Slope provided the
market is not crowded with green
stock. We suggest that your growers
