RUSSIAN RETREAT AGAIN
GIVES TEUTS ADVANTAGE
German Armies Claim Capture of
Many Guns and One Thousand
SIav Prisoners

London, August 30.-The disaffec-
ton of the Russian army which re-
suited in the forced evacuation of the
greater part of Galicia and Buckowina
by still loyal troops, apparently has
not been eradicated, although stiff
fleming in the Russian defense in Cali
cha, Buckowina and Rumania recently
had indicated that the Russians were
to make no more voluntary retrograde
movements.
Following Tuesdays reports of the
falling back by the Russians in east
ern Buckowina, toward the Bessarabia
frontiers, comes the news that, dis
loyal to their colors, the Russians in
southern Moldavia from Fokshani
northward, have quit their trenches
and fled in disorder. The enemy by
reason of this detection has materially
bettered his positions for an advance
eastward, and at last accounts was
continuing to develop his success.
The Berlin war office says the Rus
slams have suffered heavily in men
killed and wounded and have lost more
than 1000 men made prisoners and
three guns and so machine guns.

EXEMPTION TO FARMERS
AS A CLASS is DENIED
President Wilson Disapproves of Plan
to Exempt All Agriculturists
From Draft Service

Washington, August BIN disap-
proving a proposal by Representative
Shouse of Kansas that all men engaged
in agricultural pursuits last March be
exempted from military service, PreSi-
dent Wilson has written the congress
man that class exemption would lead
to "many difficulties and to much
heartburning." He added, however,
that he should like personally to see
all genuine farmers left at their indis-
pensable labors.
The president also called attention
to Provost Marshal General Crowder's
recent arrangement for certification of
men whereby most farm labor will not
be drafted in service before October
1. when it is believed most of the
heavy farm work will be done. This
arrangement was the result, the presi-
dent wrote, "of most careful and SYM
pathetic attention" by the war depart
ment.
Representative Shouse responded to
the presidents letter with the declara-
ton that much of the Kansas wheat
crop would not be in on October 1,
and that the labor situation in that
state was critical.

MURDEROUS NEGRO TROOPS
ARE FACING MUTINY CHARGE
Houston Raiders Placed In Military
Prison at FL Paso-34 MUIR
der Charges Made

Ell Paso, August 30.-One hundred
and fifty-six negro soldiers of the
Twenty-fourth United States infantry
brought here yesterday from Column
bus, N. NJ, and placed in the military
prison at Fort Bliss, will in all proba-
bility receive trial by court martial
here, military authorities believe. 1t
was said the negroes, or many of them,
would face charges of mutiny in time of
war, an offense which might be punish
ed by death, in consequence of the riot
ing at Houston last week.
Against "a, charges of murder have
been preferred in indictments returned
at Houston as q result of the killing
of IL persons. Officers explained that
the court martial probably would be
held here in the belief that it would
be undesirable to take the negroes to
Houston for trial.
Whether the prisoners against whom
the indictments have been preferred
would be returned to Houston for trial
by civil authorities was uncertain.
Military officials stated it was not
obligatory to release to civil authori-
ties for trial military prisoners in time
of war.

UNCLE SAM HAS PLENTY
CLOTHES FOR SOLDIERS
Three American Factories Making
British Enfield Rifles Chambered
for U. S. Ammunition

Washington, August 28-No serious
shortage in clothing or equipment is
expected to be disclosed when the ma
tional army is modified next month.
Secretary Baker says that arrange
ments for the enormous supplies nee
essary for the new force are so well
advanced that whatever shortage is
found will be overcome quickly. The
same situation prevails as to canton
ments. Most of the divisional training
establishments are nearing completion
and all will be ready for the men as
rapidly as the levies arrive. Mr..
Baker has visited the cantonment site
at Annapolis Junction, Md, and was
greatly impressed by the amount of
work that has been done there in a
short time.
The first British Enfield rifle cham
bered for American ammunition, the
standardized product of three Ameri-
can factories turning out these guns
to supplement the Springfield rifle
output of government arsenals, was
presented to the secretary Saturday
and in turn was presented by him to
Chairman Scott of the general NUM-
tons board Of the defense council.
Enough Enfields to supply the national
army are expected to be ready by the
time the draft soldiers have been train
ed to the stage of drilling with weap-
ons.

Wilson. Isl
Two distinct factions, it was learn
ed, have developed in the association
one willing to accept the situation and
the other anxious to fight the gov
eminent in the courts. The operators
who are ready to sell at the prices
named are among the larger producers
and those who are showing opposition
are representing owners of small
mines, whose costs of production are

H0MESTEADERS FLEEING
WITH GOODS AND STOCK
No Lives Yet Reported Lost in West
ern Montana Fires-Lolo Hot
Springs Believed Safe

Missoula August 2S.-Driving their
small herds before the farm wagons
and prairie schooners on which their
household goods had been loaded,
homesteaders driven by forest fires
from dozens of little clearings in the
upper Clearwater country have tramp
ed into Corlett small town so miles
north of here.
Many of the refugees had fled in
such haste that they had not even
cooking utensils when they reached
Corlett and reports received here in
dictate that suffering might result. So
far as can be learned no lives were
lost in the retreat before the fires.
Most of the people living in the region
left their homes several days ago, fear
ing that if they waited longer the fires
would cut them off from the open
country to the south. There are no big
ranches in the region, all of the settlers
are pioneers, living in little clearings
on the last mountain frontier, miles
from any railroad or large town.

officials had hoped for Except in
the Salmon lake region, where huge
fire is burning fiercely, the gale which
swept through Missoula seems not to
have affected the fires much. From
Lolo Hot Springs it was reported that
the summer resort there probably
would be saved from a tremendous
fire which is now within a mile of the
buildings. Hundreds of fire fighters,
reinforced by settlers from the valley,
have turned the head of the fire, it
is thought. Peter Loffnes, chief of |
the Missoula fire department, has been
sent to the springs with force pump |
and great quantities of hose to pro-
tect the buildings in case the fire burns |
up to them.

Also Take 900 Officers and Much AM

Fourteen Places
5000 PRISONERS CAPTURED

Rome, August 2S.-The Italians have
made a further advance on the Isonzo
front, north of Goriza, closely pursuing
| the Austrians, the war office an
nounces. Austrian counter attacks on
the Carso were repulsed. The number
prisoners has been increased to more
than $4,000 in addition to which a
great amount of booty has been cap
tured.
The statement follows.
"The battle is beginning to reveal
itself in it's vastness. The action north
of Gorilla, from August 10 onward,
may be epitomized as follows:
"The gallant troops of the second
army, after having thrown IA bridges
across the Isonzo river amid heavy
fire of the enemy, passed over the
river in the night of August 1919 and
around the three enemy defensive
lines of Sommer, Kobelik and Madoni,
which crossed there. Contemporaries
ously they attacked the same lines
from the front, and broke through in
spite of the enemy's most stubborn de-
tense. The consequence of this bold
maneuver was the capture of Monte
Santo.
"Our troops now are continuing
their advance toward the eastern Dor
der of BainsizZa plateau, holly pur'
suing the enemy, who is making the
most violent counter attacks with large
parties of machine gunners and with
light artillery.
"On the Carso yesterday the battle
came to a standstill temporarily. Our
small advances rectified the captured
positions which We're consolidated and
the enemy attempted counter attack |
failed under fire.
"The prisoners thus far number 600 |
officers and $4,000 men. We have cap
tured rs guns, including two 3O5-
nillimetre mOrtars and many guns of
medium calibre, a great number of
lorses, an airplane in perfect condi-
ion, many trench mortars and ma
,hine guns and all kinds of war ma
erial, including several motor tractors
oaded with ammunition.
1.-THE enormous difficulty of sending
supplies to our troops across zone in
which there are no roads has been
in part because of the
arge supply depots abandoned by the
nemy during his retirement"

COAL OPERATORS PROTEST
CONSIDERED BY GARFIELD

Washington, August 27.-Protests of
Montana operators that under the new
bituminous coal prices fixed by the
president, they will be unable to oper-
ate excepting at loss, have been pre-
sented by Senator Walsh to Fuel Direc-
tor Garfield who suggested that the
mine owners submit detailed state
ments showing prices and market con-
ditions and advancing the merits Of
their claims, stating that their claims
will be given consideration with view
to proper adjustment.
Protests were received by Senator
Walsh from all of the operators In the
Bearcreek field as well as from the
Nelson Coal company of Great Falls.
Senator Walsh has notified the OPP
orators of the directors position.
