Sand and Soap Powder the Weapons
 to Re Used, Writer Promises.

Salt Lake City, Aug. 7.-Threaten- ing to cripple railroads unless mem bers of the Industrial Workers of the World are allowed to go to Butte if they desire, an anonymous letter signed "I w. w" was re- ceived today by Chief of Police White. The letter follows:
 Please tell Chief of Police White and any others interested that if they make it impossible for us to go to Butte, or any place else we want to go, nobody else will go anywhere. We can put sand in the axle boxes .of all the ears everywhere, or else it will take 2 million men to watch them, and then they couldn't do a good job, as we have too many mem bers working in all departments of the railroads. Soap powder in water tanks helps some, too Yours very truly, Ed, I. w. W.

WITH AID SLAVS
 CAN WIN FREEDOM
Charles Edward Russell Says Pres ence of t. :. Troops on Eastern Front Would Strengthen
 Russian Morale.

Washington, Aug. 9 Russia new- est of demeeraeies. grows stronger Of heart and purpose daily and with aid from the United Steles. an bs depended upon Co do hef part n the great war and emerge a powerful state
 1his was the messase breughl tc Pres slaeml Wilson aAd Secretary Aansing yesterday hy Elihu Hool and his fellow members of the American mission sent t0 Russia three months ago.
 Unqualified encouragement from the United States moral and finan- cial-when necessary, is absolutely essential 10 keeping life in the new government, the commission agreed A separate peace with Germany ob- vi0usly is the gravest fear. Left tC fight along with her present govern ment in control, the President was told, Russia will emerge triumphant and strong; but if, either by great masses of troops or clever propa- ganda, Germany should accomplish tho overthrow of the kerensky gov ernment, the outlook would be dark indeed.
 iolnimssioners Agreed on Conditions Only one written report, is Is under stood, was submitted to Secretary Lansing. It was not made public and may not be. From high sour res it is known, however, that the commission was agreed on virtually all essentials. There may have been differences of opinion as to the best method of obtaining results, but the opinion of present conditions and high hopes for the furture were unanimous.
 None was stronger in this conyic- kion that there is the greatest hope for Russia than Mir. Root himself Though conservative by virtue of long diplomatic and political exper- fence, it was with difficulty that he suppressed his enthusiasm.
 Others of the party who shared his optimism and gave their views were Charles Edward Russell, form CT Socialist; James Duncan. labor leader, and Maj. Stanley Washburn man of long experience in Russian affairs. The latter two agreed that one great need of Russia is publicity regarding Americas intentions in the war.
 Payers Sending American Troops.
 Mr. Russell went a little further by declaring in favor of,sending Ameri- can troops to the eastern front inn mediately. He said their presence would be of the greatest value in strengthening the Russian morale.
 The military members of the com mission headed by Maj. Gen, Hugh H.. Scott, had thrilling story Co tell pf experiences on the Russian firing line. They were under fire during one of the great offensives launched after the new government took the reins.
 The mission, headed by Mr Root called at the White House at o'clock in the afternon and remained with the President about one hour, Members of the national woman's party made futile attempts to use a banaer addressed to Mir. Root, but he entered and left the White House by a side gate while the women wait ed for him out in front
 The work of the commission now is virtually ended. It's members will romain here for few days. and wikh the exception of the army of- iicers, then will return to their homes.

.HA|C GETS BETTER
 GRIP ON TYRES
The Entente Guns Hammering Ger man Lines With Great Fury and Infantry Not Inactive-Erench
 Aid in the Allies Gains.

Washington, Aug. i0-Nhile the entente guns are still hammerine the German lines in Flander with a fury apparently equal to that of the original bombardment, the infantry has not been entirely inactive. To- day important gains by both the British and the French on a seven mile front, taking in Westhoek and Bixschoote, are reported, says the Associated Press.
 British troops last night finished the task of driving the Germans from the town of Westhoek ano likewise cleared them from the lines they still were clinging to on the ridge near the town.
 This forward movement gives Field Marshal Haig a far better grip on the section of the line immedi- ately east of Ypres.
 French Add to Gains.
 The French on their front near Bixschoote advanced east and north of that place, adding to the gains they had recently effected in this sector
 Silence from the British side re- garding the artillery battle contin- ues. As in the period preceding the initial attack on the Flanders offen- sive the German reports are the principal reliance for news for the bombardment and these continue tC emphasize it's import
 Not only in Belgium but along stretches of the Arras battlefront there are evidences of pronounced activity by the entente forces. Lon- don today reports extensive raids by the British east of Monchy, in tho Arras area, and day by day reports come in of the notable work by the Canadians before the coal city oi Lens.
 It has seemed several times that the fall of Lens was imminent but evidently the hour has not been con- sidered ripe to deliver the flna stroke. Whether it is even yet 2 probability of the near future de- spite the close grip which tht Canadians now have secured upon its immediate outskirts is something that only the British high command can reveal.

pleasure to be able to announce that
an excellent course in military train
ing, under competent instructors,
will be offered at the University Of
South Carolina next session. This
course will be compulsory for fresh
men and sophomores, and voluntary
for all other students. Guns and ac-
coutrements have been furnished by
the United States government, and an
army officer will be detailed for SER
vice at the university as soon as such
an officer Is available.
The War Department promises that
when this officer has been appointed
a Reserve Officers Training Corps
will be established at the university.
In the meantime, students must fur
nish their own uniforms. These are
less expensive and more durable than
ordinary citizens clothes, and will
therefore be more economical.

When you feel bilious, sluggish,

Gus calomel just remember that your

bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up in

Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
