ALONG ENTIRE
EASTERN LINE

London, June 13.-Heavy fighting ia
In progress over virtually the entire
eastern front from the Gulf of Riga
to Bukowina, distance of between
600 and 700 miles.
From Riga to the Pasiolda river,
Germans have taken the offensive
against Russians, probably in an ef-
fort to divert the attention of the
Russians who are in the second week
of their drive against the Austro.Hun-
garians and Germans from the Pripet
marshes southwark to Bukowina.
On all sectors of the northern line
the Russians have successfully with.
stood German onslaughts. They have
even gained ground against attacking
forces north of the Tirul marsh,
southwest of Riga, Petrograd says.
In Southwest Russia in the region
of Lutsk, fresh advances against Aus
tro- -Hungarians are reported by the
Russian war office, as is the case
across the border through East Ga
icia.
Although the Austrians at numerous
points are vigorously counter attack
ing the only place the Russians have
been forced to give ground before
them was near Bobulintze, north of
Buczacz, in Balicia, where the Aus
trians We're reinforced by German

ROMAN CAN HAVE WATER
WORKS AND ELECTRIC LIGHTS

Major w. H. Smead of Missoula,
was in Roman the latter part of last
week and while here discussed water
works and electric lights with Pho
neer representative. The Major has
been interested in this proposition for
several years and at one time was very
anxious to secure the privilege of in
stalling systems here. The matter
dragged along and owing to crcum-
stances beyond the control of Mr..
Smead he was prevented from doing so.
Major Smead now says that he is
ready to finance the proposition and
has the money offered him with which
to build water system just as soon as
the town will grant him the privilege.
That we should accept his offer is
patent to all who are compelled to
drink water from the barrels around
town, and when it is known that the
tank from which most people now get
their drinking water is polluted and
unfit for even beast to drink, it
should be the incentive to action which
will result in pipe line being brought
into Roman which would furnish water
of which no town could boast of better
or purer.
In this connection it may be we'll to
state that no one will be allowed to
divert the mountain streams from
which Roman will eventually get
water supply, unless an application is
made to the secretary of the interior
by the town council for such permis-
mission. 1t has now been close to five
years since incorporation was secured
and the prime object of the incorpor-
alton was to be in position to ask for
right to use the water for municipal
purposes, but no request has yet been
officially made. The town council of
Roman should survey out the proposed
line, have blue prints made and file an
application to use the water. The red
tape methods of governmental matters
cause much delay and the longer the
request is put off the longer Roman
will be without a water system.
If Roman really wants water and
lighting system some action should be
taken at once which will enable the
systems being constructed.

Washington, May 10. - Germany,
considering the, submarine coptro-

has determined to make no response
TO the last American note upon the
subject. Information to this effect is
contained in confidential advices re-

1t was indicated at the state de-
partment when the note was sent that
the United States did not feel a reply
was necessary and that should one not
be forthcoming from this government
it would make no material difference.
With the apparent end of the sub
marine crisis and Germany's admoni-
ton to her citizens in the United
States to obey laws. German officials
feel that the only remaining cause of
friction is the case of Wolfe Won Igel,
secretary to the recalled German mill
tary attache, arrested in New York in
connection with plot to blow up the
Welland canal.
Count Won Bernstorff has asked for
the return of papers taken from Won
Igel but the request SO far has been

ARSENAL men TO
win THEIR POINT
Secretary Baker Announces Chicago
Scale Likely viii Be Considered
in Wage Demands.

Washington, May 19.-Machinists'
wage scales in Chicago, and possibly
other large cities, Secretary Baker in
dictated today. probably will be con-
sidered in increasing the pay of spe-
cially skilled employees of the Rock Is
land arsenal.
Secretary Baker said today he was
most optimistic over prospects of a
wage adjustment satisfactory to the
workmen. Consideration of the in
creases asked practically has been
reopened.
The foregoing Associated Press dis
patch indicates that the men at the
arsenal who have been threatening to
strike unless their wage demands were
met have gained their point, which is
that the government, in passing on
the merits of their case, should con-
slider the Chicago scale and not con-
fine it to the scale paid in the shops
in the cities located near the arsenal.
