Praise Pershi,1q

Paris, June 14.-Ahhough this was
one of tne days when the popular
Paris one cent newspapers are re-
stricted to two pages, to ecOnOmizc on
paper. they devote the greater part of
one of these pages to descriptions of
the arrival of Major General Pershing
and his staff.
Every fact obtainable about the gen.
eral is set forth. His military record
is dwelt upon. his family record
traced and his personal appearance
described, reinforced by his photo
graphs.
General Pershing was given re-
markable greeting by the deputies
when he entered the diplomatic box in
the chamber of deputies this afternoon
just before Premier Ribot arose to tell
the chamber what the allies proposed
doing in Greece.
The deputies arose and stood cheer
ing until the general bowed his
Acknowledgement. Then the galleries
violated the tradition of the house by
joining in the applause.
The deputies again arose and turned
toward General Pershing cheering
when NJ. Ribot finished his speech by
quoting President Wilson's praise in
his message to Russia. "the day has
come to conquer or submit" and de-
claring. I'VE will not submit: we will
Nanquish."

newly formed Metal Mine Workers
union" after having had their de-
mands for higher wages and improved
working conditions refused by the min
ing companies here today, distributed
circulars calling on the miners to

behind the new union are connected
with the Industrial Workers of the
World and advised the miners that the
new union was quietly gaining in
strength.
A committee conferred with Chief
of Police Jere Murphy and told him
that the new union did not intend to
create trouble. Three companies of the
Montana national guard are encamped
within the city, but do not appear on
the streets. 1t is said that the remain
der of the battalion is expected to
arrive here so that all or the batta-
lion can be drilled together.
Mining companies reported that all
mines worked today, although not with
full forces.

night speeches were made in which it
was urged that efforts be made to tie
up the mines in Butte until the en-
ploycrs are willing to receive the de-
mands.
\ committee of the new union was
appointed to see the United States
district attorney tomorrow and ask
him to request President Wilson to
send a representative of the depart
ment of labor here to investigate the
miners grievances and the conditions
under which they work.

paid dues into the new union and that
u committee had been appointed to get
out of Jail any members who might

vised to appoint alternates to act in

OF LOAN WIND.UP

Minneapolis. June 14.-Liberty Loan
subscriptions in the Ninth federal dis
trict will fall s2O,0O0,O0O under the
amount assigned to this district, ac-
cording to unofficial estimate in Min

Wa,. Summary

The British troops in the region
of Messines are continuing to
make gains at various points
against the Germans. Both
fresh advances by Field Marshal
irish advances by Field Marshal
HaiS's forces and the capture of
important first line positions are
reported.
The artillery duels between the
Bclgians and French and the Ger
mans in Belgium. particularly
near Stenstraete, Lizerne and
Bocsinghe. continue unabated, and
doubtless these regions soon will
be the scenes of Important infan-
try engagements.
Along the front in Russia and
Galicia auictude still prevails, cx-
cept that occasionally the Germans
and Austrians are making recon-
naissances with small parties. In
the Caucasus region the Turks
have delivered strong attacks
against the Russians, but all of
them were replsed.
With the departure of King
Constantine of Greece the Mace
donian theater holds forth prom
ises of early important develop
ments. Additional entente troops
have occupied further strategic
points in Greece, notably at Pira-
Gus, the port of Athens and also
in Thcssaly with the purpose of
protecting the ripening crops.
Meanwhile on the fighting front
along the Greco Serbian frontier,
considerable fighting is taking
place.
The Austrians on the Caros
plateau and northeast of Gorizia.
in the Austro-l Italian zone, have
delivered attacks against the Ital-
1anS. occupying positions they re-
Gently captured. All attacks. how
ever. were rcpulscd by Italian ar
tillcrymen.
Another German Zeppelin has
been destroyed by British naval
forces while it was flying over the
North sea. The chancellor of the
cxchcquer, in announcing the de-
Strnction of the airship. said ii
burst into flames shortly after
being attacked and fell into the
sea, and that none of it's crew
was seen aftcrWard.
