After being driven from the
MrSSincS salient Thursday, the
Germans made determined efforts
to reinState Themselves Friday
night, but sustained frightful losses
in the assault, as the British
brought up their artillery with eX-
traOrdinary impromptitude. In
one stretch two miles south of
Lens the British penetrated half
Il mile into the German positions,
capturing many prisoners and in
flicting heavy losses. Reports
from the battle show that more
than 80 guns were taken from the
Germans, while many others were
destroyed. The Germans failed to
renew their attack on Saturday
and were content to engage in an
artillery duel with the British, who
extended their gains slightly on
tn" right flank of the nine mile
front. In addition to losing more
than 1000 prisoners, the Germans
lost large number of guns of all
varieties.
The Italians have indicated that
they expect an Austrian offensive

the bringing of Austrian troops
from the Russian front.

Time viii be turned back 25 years
today to yield up for an afternoon of
sport the old boys who played baseball
for Missoula when the inhabitants
lived in tepees. All the halt and lame
and blind of the Old Players club will
this afternoon to do battle with the
unbeaten Missoula Newswriters for the
benefit of the municipal swimming
pool fund.
Manager II. b. Campbell yesterday
announced the following tentative
lineup for the game this afternoons:
Hugh b. Campbell, pitcher; Sterile
Richards, catcher; f. c. Mulroney,
first base; owen Kelley, second base;
w. l.. Murphy, shortstop; Ike Harp
stcr, third base; Frank Gleason, left
field: Frank Jones, center field; Dan
Heyfron, right field.
Will Trim Newswriters.
What those old veterans Of the game
will do to the city's pen-pushers this
afternoon may not fifty be recorded in
a family journal. They have, they say,
adopted 8; policy Of frightfulness, the
application of which will make volun-
. tcer journalism necessary II Missoula
is to have newspapers on Monday.
If Manager Campbells lineup is not
tlisarranged by misfortune it will pre-
sent to Missoula fans the rarest op-
portunity fans ever had. Why, Hugh
Campbell was pitching for Missoula
before Pop Anson had been heard OF.
And owen Kelley has been statue OF
himself on second base since Yankees
quit playing FOUNDERS.
If the old timers aren't able to
stand the pace, comparative youngsters
from the Elks' lodge will take up the
battle against the neWspapermen.
No Admission Fee.
Nothing will be charged at the gate
this afternoon, but the hat will be
passed for the good of the swimming
pool, and no one will be allowed to
leave the horrible exhibition until he
has contributed generously. Everyone
is advised to stay away if possible,
but if anyone be rash enough to at
tend, let him so provided with exit
money.
Look Out For Grandfather.
And, for goodness sake, children,
look out for grandpa this morning.
When he hears that all his playmates
are going to play ball he will want to
get into the game. He'll want to be
able to say that he carried d bat the
day the grandsires licked the editors.
It's all for a good cause, though. If
the old gentleman does get away, re-
member that he will be contributing
to the fund which is going to save his
grandchildren from the river.
AS for the newspapermen, they have
some old timers of their own. The
lineup probably will include +. 4. Fer

CONSUMPTION is FOR
RICH AND POOR ALIKE

Atlanta, Ca, Jun 18.-The sons
of the rich and the well-to-do are
going to fight in this war along with
the sons of the poor and the men
in moderate circumstances, and any
one who entertains an opinion to the
contrary can satisfy himself by look
ing over the roster of men in the
officers training school at Fort Nc
Pherson, Or observing the sons O f
wealthy men who will be drafted by
the government.
In the school at Fort Mcpherson
are represented some of the wealth
lest and~most prominent families of
Atlanta. A son of Robert F. Mad
dox, former mayor and bank presi-
dent, left his studies at Harvard to
enter the training camp. William

best to get in, but was below the

Two nephews of Former Governor
John NJ Slaton are in the camp,
while two others were prevented from

tism and the other because of a re-
cent attack of pneumonia.
The sons of the rich are not GO
ing to be exempted from draft, mere
ly because their daddies have money

wanted them to be exempt, Some
will be exempted for various reasons
the same as other men, but wealth

Guiding a we'll known New York

SECTION THREE
URGES u. s. COLLEGES
TO MAINTAIN COURSES
President Wilson Writes Secretary
Lane, Pointing to Need Of
Scientific Training

In response to suggestion from Sec.
retary Lane, President Wilson has
"ritten letter urging that colleges
and technical schools maintain their
courses on a normal basis as far as
possible during the war, and that young
men below the conscription age and
who do not enlist avail themselves Of
opportunities for scientific courses IL
they can.
The letter, made public follows:
The question which you have brought
to my attention is OF the very great
est moment. II would, as you suggest
seriously impair American prospects
Of success in this war II the supply of
highly trained men were unnecessarily
diminished. There will be need for
a larger number of persons expert in
the various fields of applied science
than ever before Such persons will
be needed both during the war and
after its close
i have therefore no hesitation in
urging colleges and technical schools
to endeavor to maintain their courses
as far as possible on the usual basis.
There will be many young men from
these institutions who will serve in
the armed forces Of the country. Those
who fall below the age of selectiye
conscription and who do not enlist
may feel that by pursuing their courses
with earnestness and diligence they
also are preparing themselves for valu.
able service to the nation.
Il would particularly urge upon the
young people who are leaving our high
schools that as many Of them as can
do so avail themselves this year of
the opportunities offered by the col
leges and technical schools, to the end
that the country may not lack an ade.
