(1y Associated Press.)


The important development at pres.
ent in military affairs is the cumula.
tive pressure which Gereral Haig is
applying to the German lines about
the coal city and mine fields of Lens.
8 The operations now seem to have
taken on somewhat broader scope,
suggesting that the British command.
or is aiming at the far TANKS Of the
Lens positions in wide encircling
movement, while keeping up the push
here and there on the immediate out
skirts of the city.
Capture German Position.
Some six miles to the south, near
Oppy, the British last night captured
a German position on a front of more
than mile. Closer to Lens on q,
wide front, south of the Souchez riv-
er, the British continued to gain. They
have entered Avion within two miles
of Lens, thus drawing considerably
tighter the lines Immediately about
the coal town. @>&e .,r,

district has again sprung into promi.

ifesting renewed activity there and
last night they delivered. powerful
attack after q heavy bombardmsnt

Hints have been coming. ont Of Ger.
many that next weeks session OF the
German reichstag might witness some
statements on the subject of peace BY
Chancellor Won Bethmann ,Hollwegg.
Rumors to support the suggested
peace movements are supported BY
reports of mysterious political hap

The impression has been given that
the expected developments would be
of a dramatic nature and the press
seems to have been completely muz-
zled so far as discussion Of political
topics is concerned.

Glasgow, June 29.-In discussing the
question of peace, Premier Lloyd
George said if the war should be con

out TO attain at the beginning of the
war it would be the greatest disaster
that ever ibefell mankind.
"1n my judgment" he said, "this

ON COST PLUS BASIS.
Method of Awarding Camp Contracts
Outlined.

Washington, June 14.-Col. I. w.
Littell, in charge of building the new
army cantonment. today made pub
lic-the fee systems of the contracts.
The fees vary from 10 per cent. on
small contracts of 100000 or less to
6 per cent. on contracts of more than
$3,5O0,000. with a final limit of $780,
900.
The shortness Of time allowed for
construction made it impossible to
ask for competitive bids and it was
decided to make contracts on the per-
centage or cost plus basis.
Precautions will be taken against
extravaganza by contractors.

PURPOSE OF AMERICAN MIS-
SION OUTLINED.
American Ambassador Issues Long
Statement Dlsclaiming Intention OF
Internal Interference.

Petrograd, June IA (via London).-
David r. Francis, the American am
bassador, issued to the press today
a long statement explaining the aims
of the American mission headed by
Elihu Root which arrived in Petro-
grad yesterday. The statement is
thus summarized by the official news
agency:
1.-THE communique states that the
functions of the mission are to de-
wise. in accordance with the Russian
government, effective means to aid
Russia in her efforts to defeat the
universal enemy of democracy. Ger
many and the German standpoint are
the greatest foes to the democratic
ideas now cherished by America and
Russia in common.
1.-The mission will elucidate to Rus
sia the aims followed by America,
making it clear that America is in
Il
spired by idealistic motives; also that
she Is devoting to the struggle all
her material resources, the indica-
tions of which are the facts that the
American fleet now is operating joint,
ly with the entente allied fleets; that
10 100000 Americans are registered
and the economic support which
America can lend. Realizing that
Russia must not only fight but live,
America will try to reduce the bur-
dens and privations borne by the
Russian people.
Among the members of the mis-
sion, continues the communique, is
not one person who pursues any per-
sonal, financial or commercial aims,
or who desires to influence Russian
internal affairs"

The story from Crystal SPRINGS
tells of lady who is leading

and among the delicacies put up for
FIXTURE use are a catch of fat, juicy
rabbits. These were just the ordi-
nary pestiferous "Mollie Cotton
Tails So common in our Southland,
and which proves quite destructive
at times to young gardens, playing
havoc with the tender plants.
A couple of boys went out for {
little sport one afternoon last week,
and on their return they bought a
string of eighteen fine rabbits, the
neat of which soon found its wav

meat supply, and it may be said that

The rabbit is distinguished from
the hare by it's smaller size, shorter

like the hare the rabbit is member

contains about % other species,
