In the Austro Italian theater the ter

the Austrian line to crack at numerous
points. The Austrians are resisting
vigorously. Although the battle is
proceeding without Interruption. little
is available in the official communi.

advances the Italians thus far have
made. Austrian defenses between
Corite and Selo and near the strongly
fortified Starilokva position are among

night, more than 10000 prisoners had
been taken, not counting 2is officers,

Hundred Men Unable to
Check Serious Blaze in
Bitter Root Hills.
MEN AND MACHINES
NEEDED IN HURRY
Government Issues Calls for
Frefighters and Automo-
bile Trucks.

With very little headway being made
by fire fighters against it's steadily
increasing size, a forest fire north of
I.olO today, presents q very discour-
aging aspect to the local forestry Of
ficials. About 100 men are stationed
in that vicinity. but so far 1t has been
impossible to establish control of the
flames
The serious problem of lack of
men is confronting the officials OF the
forest service but most serious of all
is the lack of automobiles and auto
trucks to carry the men and supplies
to the scenes of the fires. A call for
three hundred men has been sent to
Butte, as the supply in Missoula Is al
most exhausted. Thirty cents an hour
and all expenses Is what the men re-
ceive.
Automobiles Needed.
District Forester r. II. Rutledge
said last night that even II a sufficient
number Of men volunteer to fight tho
fires. there is still the problem of
transporting them within fighting dis
tance Of tho flames. And even witt
the men there. the problem OF getting
supplies to them arises. There is
urgent need of 40 five passenger ma :
chimes and enough trucks to carry
5000 pounds of supplies to the vicinity
Of the fires. The forest service will
pay regular rates for the use Of these
cars.
Hundreds of MissOula citizens leave
the city for all-day pleasure trips in
their cars" said service official yes
terday. 'yet forests of valuable timber
are facing possible destruction be-
cause there are not enough cars to
take men to protect Them
Deep. Creek Fire Serious.
The fire at Deep creek, Is miles
from the city, on the west side of the
river, is making rapid progress. with
practically all available men sent
there. Forty more men are to be de-
tailed there this morning if needed.
The Seeley lake situation is reported
bad. The fire is five or six miles
above the lake and rapidly working
away from it. Fifty men are already
stationed in that vicinity fighting the
flames and a special car on the Mil
waukee from Butte rushed 80 more to
the scene last night S. V. Fullaway,
Mr. Mccarthy. District Forester SUI
pervisor w. J. Derrick and Mr. Beck,
with several experienced foremen have
also been detailed to this fire.
Fire at Bonner in Hand.
With $50 men on the Deer creek
fire. near Bonner, a favorable report
came in last night that it was pretty
well in hand. Deputy Forest Super
visor NJ. n. Stickney, Forest Super
visor w. w. White, Rangers Eckles
and Bass and Lumberman Schwartz
are in charge of the fire.
Though nothing: definite has been
heard from the Selway forest fire, 1t
is thought that the fire fighters there
are holding their own and have the
situation pretty well in hand.
Adair fires was that the men were
holding the lines established.
