 LONDON, Aug. 25..-Reports from all portions of the western battle line indicate that the mighty struggle of forces along the French front and in the western Austrian zone has reached it's climax and fighting of the most desperate character is in progress over q major portion of all fronts in west ern Europe.
 A summary of the operations in progress, published by the Mail to- day, discloses that the Italian IsonZa front has been a raging inferno of death for the past twenty four hours. Thousands of guns were belching halls of metal along every section of tie front north and south of Tolmein and close to a million and half men have been locked in fiery death grapple as the Italians pushed stead- fly onward in the march toward Trieste. Along the lower Flanders front the British and Germans have been aged in struggle of titanic proportions with the fate of Lens trembling in the balance. Military observers describe the struggle in the Lens region as the most determined end sanguinary of the entire war. Backed by a mighty aggregation of

Kerensky is marked as the man of
destiny in Russia. To-day the eyes
of the world are upon him. Can he
succeed in the herculean task of
bringing order out of the present
Russian chaos? The lives of hundreds
of thousands of men hang upon the
answer. Upon it depends the dura-
ton OF the world war, and the part
which the American army is to play
in it. An all-night political confer
ence in Petrograd, resulted in the
passage of resolution in which con-
ddence in Premier Kerensky was ex-
pressed by each of the five parties
represented, and in which he was in
vited to form his own cabinet. All
the participants were obviously con-
WINGED that the decision which was
to be reached meant Russia's regen-
GRAFTON or her ruin.

Maine Shipbuilders Interested in
Two Bills In the House.
Maine shipbuilding and owning inter-
ests are much interested in a conference
held here hast week for the purpose OF
considering the water transportation situ-
alton. Those in attendance represented
both the owners and the seamen's unions.
Practically all features OF this important
subject were considered. Maine and New
England interests were represented by
Col. L. c. Piummer OF Bath, who has
looked out for their interests here for
many years
One Of the important matters con-
sidered was the exo House bills which
authorize the President to admit foreign
vessels to the coastwise trade OF America
during the emergency period OF the war.
The object OF this, of course. is to provide
tonnage to reduce present high rates for
water borne freight. At least one Of
these bills has the sanction OF the ad-
minstration.
Naturally there is opposition to the
measure. Just how much this will
develop is difficult to predict, but it is
felt there will be certain notifications
before either measure can possibly be
reported out OF committee or passed.
These viii tend to make definite the
period which the permission shall be
granted for.
Shipping interests oppose the bill, first
because they fear that once the restriction

At recent meeting of the city
government, the proposition was
preached to discontinue the use OF
the present library building, and
move the library to a room in Han
cock hall. The suggestion was made
on the grounds Of economy. Some
investigation was made by the board,
as result OF which THE AMERICAN
is assured that the idea of moving
the library has been abandoned. The
saving that would result is not suffi
cient to warrant depriving the city OF
its present handsome library building
Such change could not be made
without strenuous protest on the
part of the people of Ellsworth.
The board of aldermen has decided
wisely; we give the mayor and alder
men the further benefit of the belief
that they never seriously considered
such an unwise move.
