Washington, July 16.-Messages exchanged by President Wilson and President Poincare on Frances great holiday July IA, the anniversary of the fall of the Bastile, were made public today by the state department.

 "On this anniversary of the birth of democracy in France, I offer for my countrymen and on my own behalf fraternal greeting as beflts the strong ties that unite our peoples. who today stand shoulder to shoulder in defense of liberty in testimony of the stead fast purpose of our two countries to achieve successfully for :hc sublime cause of the rights of the people against oppression. The lesson of the Bastile is not lost to the world of free peoples.

 President Poinclr replied:
 "The French people, who for three years have made so many heroic sacrifices in the defense of right and liberty, shall receive in grateful emo- tion the brotherly message which you, MT. President, were pleased to send me for them We shall be proud to carry On to victory, elbow to elbow with the great and generous Ameri- can nation, the war which was let loose on the world by the imperialism of our foes in spite of strenuous ef- forts which the French republic always exerted to avert so awful a cataclysnl. l, like you, have no doubt that the defeat of autocracy and Ger man militarism will at least open a gate of industrious peace and pros- perity to liberated mankind"

Although the movement of the Rus aian. engaged in Gen. Kornlloff's big offensive in eastern Galicia Is being hampered by bad weather, the Cos sacks apparently have been able to keep up their dashing tactics. This is indicated by report from Petro- grad through Rome today that the town of Dolina has been occupied by Russian forces.
 If this announcement proves ac- curate it means an advance Of more , than thirty miles for the Russians since the opening of the drive south of Dniester 8 week ago. The official reports have placed thcm nearly two- thirds of this distance from the start ing point, as Kalusz, taken by Korn- ilofrs troops last week Is some 20 miles from Stanislau which was the place of departure.
 At Kalausz the Russians were es- tablished on the bank of the Lom- mica, whence the Austrians had not been able to drive them, although heavy attacks had been launched in the attempt. The route thence to Dolina lies along the Stanislau-Stryj railway line. An advance here means considerable progress in the move ment now under way, intended to throw Gen. Won Boehm- -Ermolli's army back against the Carpathians The Rome reports, indeed, declare that that already has been accom- plished.
 The hard fighting that has marked the past few days along the French front in northern France still con- tinues. Last night the Germans made a desperate attempt to regain the observation posts they lost when the French on Saturday night took 8 strongly fortified position in the vicin- ity of Mont Haut and the Teton in the Champagne. The attacking forces made no impression whatever on the Teton positions, and at Mont Haut they recovered 8 narrow foot hold on the edge of the disputed ground.
 The French, in local operations, made some progress south of Allies on the Atsne front and repulsed sev- eral strong attacks near St. Quentin and south of Corbeny.
 On the British front only raiding operations and artillery and airplane activities are reported.

 Flat River. Mo-, July 16.-The sit uation In the lead belt of southeastern part of Missouri, from which Amer ican-born miners have driven, hun dreds of foreign-born workers during the last two days was still serious to- military authorities here No vio- lence occurred Sunday but twenty men were arrested on charges of carrying concealed weapons or loot ing homes of evlcted foreign born miners.
 At Bonne Terre last night a com- m1ttee of American born miners from Flat River orga anized about fifty young men and marched into the foreign quarter discharging firearms. Father Tenn Sevcik, a Roman Catholic priest, who was returning from a visit among the foreigners attempted to argue with the delegation and was roughly handled. A detachment of sixteen guardsmen was sent from Flat River to Bonne Terre and further violence occurred.
 It is estimated that more than 1000 have left the lead. Major Will liam Steep, commanding the state troops here, and two other officers went through the foreign colony and reported that they found 200 homes of foreign born miners had been pill laged and that women and children were without food. They also found that American born buyers were buying cows and other property from the women at purely nominal, prices.
 A committee of miners conferred With Major Stepp and his officers and told their grievances. The spokes- man of the party said.
 We want only a chance to work and support our families without be- ing thrown out to make room for for eigners. Winter is coming and the mining companies are discharging Americans to give their places to for e1gners. We wish to harm no one. we have killed no one. we think no one has been hurt. we have destroyed no property. The mining companies are discharging Americans and it is against that that we protest"
 A conference between American miners and mine owners is set for today.

ROOSEVELT FOR WAR ON
BULGARIA AND TURKEY
Break Up Austro-H Hungarian Empire
and Drive Turk From Europe,
He Urges.
BY THEODORE ROOSEVELT
In the Kansas City star.

In his recent message to Congress
President Wilson stated that in order
to push our great war of freedom and
justice to its righteous conclusion we
must clear away with a thorough hand
all impediments to success, and added
''the very embarrassing obstacle that
stanes in our way is that we are at
war with Germany, but not with her
allies" He recommended that we de-.
clare war on Austria, and added. "the
same logic would lead also to a decla-
ration Of war against Turkey and Bull
garia." But inferentially and for rea-
sons not apparent he advised against
such action. The President is entirely
right in stating that our failure hither-
to to declare war on the allies Of Ger
many has been. very. embarrassing
obstacle to our success. and he is en-
tirely right in advising a declaration
of war against Austria.
Advocated Policy Six Months Ago.
Incidentally. wish to point out that
this is precisely what I insisted upon
in these columns two months ago and
what I had elsewhere advocated six
months ago, and it Is worth while re-
membering that the administration
papers then assailed me for urging the
course which, although there has not
been the slightest change in the situa-
ton, the President now urges. There
was no justification whatever for fall
ure to declare war on Austria when we
declared war on Germany. and there is
now no justification for failure to de-
clare war on Bulgaria and Turkey
when we declare war on Austria.
No Use in -Four Bites at Cherry.
There In no use in making four hifes
OF a cherry. There is no use in going
to war little, but not much. The
President has sent message pledging
support to Rumania, but It is worse
than an empty form to send such a
message unless we forthwith declare
