TEUT0N|C ARMIES ADVANCE IN EAST, RETIRING IN WEST Despite Bad Weather, Brit ish and French Main
 tain Activity. RUSSIANS SHOW
 MORE RESISTANCE Symptoms of Poor Morale Still Exist. ent, But on Whole Russian Armies are Making Better Showing,
 Forcing Back Enemy.
Associated Press Summary. ]

The TeutOnic arm'es, still advanc ing, although against increased re- sistance, on the eastern front, are slowly being forced by pressure of the entente masses in the west.
 Gains made by the British on the Flanders front Friday, when the vil- lage of St. Julien WIS re-entered by a French advance Friday night.
 Notwithstanding the inclement weather, French troops drove in upon Corsitierre Cabaret, moving their linds forward, while their patrols pushed back German outposts and ex- plored considerable areas in advance of the French positions.
 Berlin announces an increase in the artillery fire to great violence at times on the Flanders front. Apparently the renewal of a great battle in all its fury is only awa.+ing the return of fairly good weather.
 The London war office makes it clear that no shifting of British troops was found necessary to cope with the German diversion of Thursday night, near Monchy le PreuX, on the Arras battle front, thru which inroads we're made on Infantry h;I. Attacks car ried out the following night by the troops on the spot, the official state ment says, forced the Germans out and completely restored the position.
 The situation on the Russian front, ;Hrom northern Galicla to the Carpa- thians, confines favorable to the cen tral powers, but the Russians, altho Symptoms of poor morale are noted, appear on the whole 70 be offering a stiffer defense, particularly on the eastern border.
 At that point, an operation cleared Austro-German forces from a sector of the east bank of the Sebrocz river, forming the boundary. At another point, near Skala, the Teutons were driven out of two villages.
 The Russians continue to yield in Bukowina and in the Carpathians.
 They are engaged n stiff battle with the enemy northeast of Kampo- lung. Below there, the Russians are failing back on the Moldava and have yielded the town of Watra, on that river.
 Berlin sums up the campaign of the last IA days in the east with having cleared all Galicia of the Russians with the exception of small strip of territory southeast from Brody.
 On the Austro- Italian front there IS more activity. The Italian airmen are busy. They rapidly followed up recent air raids on Pcla, carrying out second air raid, in which great dam age is reported to nave been done this Austrian naval base.

Declares He Has Abiding Faith New Republic Will
 Overcome Difficulties.
DON'T ARGUE WHY WE ARE IN THE WAR
Tells Hearers at Luncheon Time Has Come for America te Muster Its Manhood of Democracy Against
 the Powers of AutOcracy.

A Pacific Port, Aug. 4.-Faith in the ability to overcome her difficult ties and perpetuate great and free democracy was expressed today by Elihu Root, in an address delivered at a luncheon in honor of the return of the mission from the United States to Russia.
 The members of the party landed here late last night They left today for Washington.
 q have abiding faith that Russia. through trial and tribulation, will work out, create and perpetuate a great, free, self-governing demo- cracy,' Mir. Root said.
 Professing an admiration for the kindly character of the Russian peo- pie, 'considerate of the rights and feelings of others, and with a high capacity for self-control and a noble idealism, heading always in a better way toward higher things" he plead ed for deep sympathy for the nation which is struggling with the prob lem that we have been studying for 140 years and have not yet solved"
 Declaring that America must mus ter it's manhood with democracy against the power of autocracy," he said there will be death, widowed homes, sacrifice and suffering, no doubt, almost despair. Tn the end will rise great free country, re- made in the spirit of our fathers, confident to accomplish it's divine mission and carry liberty and justice throughout the world.
 Don't argue why we are in the war, but realize that the time has come when American liberty, Ameri- can justice, American independence and freedom is the state for which we must fight"
 Basic Sclvatyen Rolf, special envoy of the Russian government, accom- panying the mission, expressed the gratitude of the new republic for the help and sympathy extended to it by America. He asserted that the two needs of the new Russia were time and friendly sympathy.

LIQUOR FIGHTER
TUESDAY NIGHT

A temperance fighter, who is going
about the country for the purpose Of
licking somebody was at the First M.
E. church on Tuesday night, and de-
livered himself of an interesting mes
sage. Hon. Oliver w. Stewart of Chi
cago, a former member of the legis-
lature of Illinois, spoke under the aus
pices of the Flying Squadron, tenn
perance organization which has gone
out to win. He explained the organi-
cation was not educational like the
w. G.. T. u, and others in the field to
GUST liquor, but was formed to click
somebody" During the next few
months the battle ground will be Ohio
and New Mexico, where elections are
to take place.
Mr.. Stewart explained this nation
could not exist half slave and half
free; neither could it survive half wet
and half dry. The big fight would be
the states mentioned above and the
nation is now near the border land
for constitutional amendment. He said
there would be no trouble about car
rying Ohio if it were not for Cincin-
nati--if only Cincinnati were on the
other side of the river. Governor
Hanley and other workers are to guide
the campaign in Ohio.
Mr.. Stewart said he had heard of
the great misfortune which had come
to Wisconsin and came to the state
to find out whether or not the people
were discouraged. He had visited a
number Of towns before coming to
Baraboo and found much enthusiasm
to keep up the fight, Notwithstanding
the blow given by the governor.
Mr.. Stewart is rapid speaker, and
evidently his mission here was not to
deliver an grafton, but to obtain aid
for the Ohio fight.

the wake of torpedo as it sped to-

The ship swung around so sharply
that the decks were tilted to an angle
of 20 degrees. Immediately there
came the bark and flash of a gun.
Passengers, binding on lifebelts,
swarmed to the decks The ships Off

calmness. Another gun, pointed fur

unable to tell whether any Of the

ON JULY FOURTH

At the first gathering of the young
clans for the Living Flag, held at the
high school building on Monday aft
ernoon, a large number of youngsters
volunteered to enter the spectacle
as many as 200 were there. 1t is
hoped that as many as 800, or perhaps
400, will enter the lists and join in
the preliminary drill and all the work
of preparation This will prove the
most inspiring feature of the pageant
and it's success depends largely on
numbers. All the grade teachers,
resident of the city, are working on
this feature, and they are inspiring
their actors with real zeal.

did band of Indians will be here. Their
war chiefs will be in command, and
it is expected that they will be mount
ed on ponies. Listen for their war
whoop, and if the Sacs and Foxes
get here from Sank City a lively
scrimmage may ensue. Generally
there has been good fellowship be-
tween the Sacs and Foxes and the
Winnebagoes, but when they get into
a spectacle on the streets Of Baraboo,
one can never tell what will happen.
Prizes have been arranged as an in
centive for decorating the autos. for
the parade in the afternoon, and as
the sums are generous, it is hoped
that some artistic work will be done.
All preparation of details is going on
by the executive committee, and a
