High Officials Of Russia Issue
Statement Declaring War
will Be Prosecuted.
ITALIANS PUSHING ON
Berlin Says English Have At
tackled on Front From
Acheville to Queant.

Again comes news from the Rus
sian front that the Germans, probably
owing to the betterment of the inter-
nal situation in Russia, have attacked
the Russian lines. Last week they
essayed an offensive in the Volhynia
sector, but met with no marked sue
cess. Now the offensive has been
switched to the north in the vicinity
of Mitau, where they threw an attack
against the Russians, but were
stopped by the fire Of the Russian
artillery. ,S
In Rumania there has also been the
semblance of an attack against the
Russians east of Koveika, but here
again the Teutons were dispersed by
the Russian guns.
North and east of Gorilla the Italian
troops are continuing their successes
over the Austrians either in fresh adj
vances or in holding back counter
attacks launched with huge electives.
East of Gorilla the Austrian lines
were pierced in an attack by the Ital-
ians, who took 254 prisoners.
In Macedonia artillery duels and
isolated infantry engagements con-
tinue.
Still further hope for the solidarity
of Russia in the prosecution of the
war together with her allies is had
from the public statements of three Of
her highest officials. Russia cannot
hand down to future generations
dishonored reputation" said Premier
Lvoff. "The country must speak its
imperious word and send its army
out to fight"
With Bullecourt firmly in their pos
session the British troops are giving
the Germans no chance for rest and
have started another offensive with
the idea of bringing their forces to
the north of Bullecourt in alignment
with those within the village.
Sunday saw Field Marshal Haig's
men again strike the German lines
hard in this region and carry German
positions over front Of more than a
mile between Fontaine-Lez-C roiselles
and Bullecourt and held them not
withstanding furious counter-attacks.
The fighting here again was of san
culinary character and the British war
Office reports that heavy casualties
were inflicted on the Germans.
Although London makes no mention
of the fact, the British war office re-
ports an offensive by the British along
a tifteen-mne front, extending from
the region of Acheville to Queant,
which means that again the entire
front of the Drocourt. Queant switch
line is being hammered.

All Troops Here Ordered To
Return To Mobiliz-
alton Camp.
MOVEMENT UNEXPLAINED
New Recruits Also Will Be
Sent Away For The
First Time.

Yesterday was scene OF hustle and
activity at the fair grounds and armo-
| ry. The boys were packing up and
getting ready to go back to Lexing-
ton. The Headquarters Company and
the Supply Company which recently
came here from Lexington, together
with the fifty or more recruits for Co.
D., whom Lieut.. Alvan H. Clark has
been drilling here, will leave some
time today for their new quarters in
Lexington.
II is reported that all the other units
in West Kentucky have been ordered
back to Lexington. Just what is back
of all this is not known definitely, but
it is known that Lexington is doing
everything possible to secure the site
for the camp for the 1000 Kentucky
and Indiana troops, which will form
the Ninth Division of the new army
to be raised.
The government has already ac-
cepted site of $40 acres as a mobili-
zation camp for the National Guard.
If the divisional camp is secured L.
600 acres will be needed. Commit
tees from the Lexington Real Estate
Exchange are trying to secure OPP
tons on the additional 460 acres need
ed. The State rifle range is located
at Lexington and is in good hiking
distance from the proposed camp site.
Besides Lexington, Louisville and
Evansville, Columbus, Ind, and Indi-
annapolis have entered a bid for the
site. Speaking of Lexington's chance
the Lexington Leader says:
can army officer of high rank who
was recently in Lexington expressed
the opinion that troops of northern
States might be wintered here because
of a milder climate for intensive
training. He was granting the as
sumption that an extensive camp
would be established here. One of
the camp features specified by the
government is "infrequent Interrupt
ton to training by inclement wealth
en-"
General fitness can be found in Lex
ington's rail facilities, water supply,
ideal terrain, available camp and
areas, good markets, free
dom from evils which plague many
cities, business cooperation, geo.
and strategical location,
lumber and fuel resources, labor sup
ply, absence of insect pests, unrivai-
ed grazing ranges, model system for
wholesome and healthful recreation,
shooting range within convenient d st,
ance, perfect drainage, immunity
from floods, moral and social condi-
lions. All these features are cited in
government requirements, and some

Big Men For Big Jobs

Supervisor Ben Hollinger makes great mistake
when he says that combination of the water works
and the street departments, which might be com
pretended in the term, public works of the city, is
too big job for one man.
That all depends on the size of the mar,
Thus far in the progress of the City and County
of Honolulu the policy has been to put small men
in Office and fry to shave the job down to their size
Or, if goodsized man did land in Office hold him
down through supervisor who was possessed of
the insane idea that a department head should not
make a move till he, the supervisor, was notified
There has been surplus of little men.
What this city needs is big men for big jobs. And
when the men named show they are not of the right
size, they should be given the opportunity to seek
fields of endeayor that fit them

The Value Of Your Bond
Editor Star Bulletin:

Editor Star Bulletin:
Will YOU allow suggestion in regard to the bond
selling campaign? 1t seems to that all the papers
have overlooked the main point-thc big induce
ment 10 buy, after patriotism.
Here is the idea We buy bonds and pay for
them with dollar that buys only half what it nor
mally should. For example: In 1914 dollar
meant five pounds of bacon Cat retai}, four and a
half pounds of ham ArmOursl, 80 pounds of -four,
16 pounds of cotton, etc No use to say what dol
lar means nOtc. We all know only too we'll.
When the war is over the price of almost every
item will fall rapidly and in about three or four
years the little 500 bond will buy fully twice
possibly three times as much as now.
Now, since dollar is only worth what it will buy
you can easily see We are really buying our bonds
at about forty or fifty cents the dollar.
Suppose you take up the idea and use it in We'd
