not be other than highly interesting

BUTTE DEMOCRATS
CRITICISE MARSHALL
DO Not Like the Idea OF Paying to
Hear Vice President Make Patriotic
Speech.


A dispatch from Butte, Mont, says
that local Democrats are in a ferment
over the coming to Butte. November
%. of Vice President Thomas r. Mar
shall. TO deliver a patriotic lecture to
which an admission will be charged.
Butte Rotary and Butte Ad clubs will
receive the vice president, but the alb
sence of any participation by the
Butte Chamber of Commerce or or
ganized effort on the part of promin-
ent Democrats to entertain Mr. Mar
shall is noted.
Democrats prominent on party
councils, who will not permit the use
OF their names. decry that the vice
president should use patriotism as a
means of enhancing his pocketbOOk
Despite the fact that he is coming
under the auspices of a lyceum bu-
reau. the Butte Miner, leading Demo-
cratic newspaper of Montana, said ed
itorially:
For anyone in these war days to
lecture on patriotism and demand pay
for so doing presents about the most
flagrant case of profteering that can
bC ina gned. and for a vice president
C.. the United States even to lay him
self open TO a charge of this kind
cannot help being humiliating to a very
large class of loyal-minded citizens
If the vice president were willing
TO do a song-and-dance turn every
Monday this amusement bureau could
not be blamed for hiring him for thai
purpose. The man who stands next tC
/ the president of this nation would draw
a record crowd and pay expenses.
The vice president of the United
/ States is paid a salary of S12, 900 yeal
by this government. If that is no
enough money properly to maintain
the position, for Gods sake let con
gress increase the amount. in ordei
that no holder of that position ma,
ever gain feel il necessary to go fortl
in an effort to coin patriotism int,
dollars"

L. :. DESTROYER Is
sunk IN COLLISION


The sinking of the American de-
stroyer Chauncey in collision in the
war zone Tuesday morning, with a
probable loss of twenty-one lives. is
announced by the navy department.
Secretary Daniels made this state
ment:
The Chauncey. a small American
destroyer on patrol duty in foreign
waters, was sunk in a collision early
Monday morning. The first dispatches
indicate that twenty-One lives were
lost Further information will be
made public when full reports are re
ceived.
The Chauncey was one of the old
type destroyers. completed in 1902.
Her displacement was 420 tons and
her complement ninety-One officers
and men,
For several years before the war the
Chauncey was used only in coast de-
tense work and was classified as a
coast torpedo vessel. She was built
at Philadelphia.

The great Hindenburg line, upon |
which the German commander in chiet
had builded his hopes of holding the |
British from inroads into the open
territory beyond, was smashed We'd |
nesday, and the task apparently was
an easy one.
Attacking over a front of 80 miles,
extending from the Scarpe river east
Of Arras to St. Quentin, Field Marshal
Haig, with his English, Scotch, Irish
and Welsh troops. has made one OF
the most rapid and spectacular drives
OF the war, catching the Germans COM
pletely by surprise, capturing numer-
Gus positions which were regarded as
impregnable and taking thousands OF
prisoners and numerous guns.
The apex of the offensive apparent
~ is centered on the important rail-
way junction of Cambria, midway be-
tween Arras and St. Quentin. Here,
having taken the towns of Marcoing,
Anneux, Graincourt and Novelties, the
victorious troops at last accounts were
nearing Cambria with its railroad lines
and roadways branching out toward all
the main points of the compass.
The latest advices indicate that the
British have not yet ceased their at
tack, but with monster tanks leading
the way, followed by infantry and ma
chine gun detachments, are pressing
forward for further conquest.
spontaneously, to the south around
st. Quentin and east of that point in
the Aisne region, the French have be-
gun an offensive. 1t doubtless has the
object of pushing back the Germans
eastward in the former sector and
northward in the latter region toward
Laon, strategic moves which, if succ-
essful, doubtless would compel that
part of the German line north of st.
<-uentin which is still intact, to fall
back eastward.
The British drive was begun with
out the usual artillery prelude, and
as the tanks and infantrymen made
their way through the wire entangle-
ments and pressed into the Germal
first positions, the surprised enemy
began sending up myriads of sigma
rockets calling for assistance Wheth
er aid was rushed up is not definitely
known, but seemingly the surprised
Germans fled in disorder, leaving al
kinds of equipment behind and, il

German Dead Cover Ground.
The British casualties were eX
tremely light, while German dea'
covered the ground. Reports indicat
that the depth of the penetration il
the region of Cambria has eXceede
five miles and that at one point a
least, the troops swept on five mile
beyond the German lines, capturin
additional villages. The offensiv
was under direct command of Gener
al Sir Julian Hedworth Byng. an
General John ]. Pershing, commando
4 in chief of the American forces
= France was an interested observer.
An indication that the Germans
famous line has been passed by th
British at some points is the entry {
the cavalry into the fray. Not sine
the famous retreat of the German
along the Ancre and the Somme in tn
spring of the present year have tn
horsemen been engaged. At ths
time they performed valiant service
harrassing the retreating columns an
in rounding up prisoners.

VENICE PINS HOPE IN ARMY.

City.

The Italian ministers of war and
marine arrived at Venice Tuesday and
held a conference with the mayor.
Count Grinami, on the defenses of the
city. They visited all parts of the
city and carefully inspected the arse
nal and the coast batteries.
The minister of marine went aboard
the flagship of the fleet and was re-
ceived with honors amid the broad
sides which were being directed
against enemy positions at the mouth
OF the Piave river Both ministers ex-
pressed qualification at the splendid
behavior of the population in the
face of the Teutonic allied menace.
Airplane raids continue to be car
ried out but the dropping of bombs is
infrequent. Sirens sound the alarm
on the approach of each flotilla OF
raiders and the pOpulace seeks cover
Rut the people gradually are becom-
ing used TO the visitations.
The roar of the bombardment
echoes through the city. but no shells
yet have fallen within its limits. Con
fidence is growing that the Italian
troops along the Piave will save the
city

CONGRESS TO DECIDE on
WAR ISSUE WITH AUSTRIA

Whether the United States
shall declare war against Ger
many's allies promises to be a
subject of considerable discus
sion at the next session of con-
gress, said Senator Hitchcock,
ranking member of the foreign
relations committee, upon his
return Wednesday to Washing
ton. In his opinion the ques-
ton presents many cOmplica-
tions, and is one of extreme
delicacy, as well as important
in present and future develop
ments of the war.
"A declaration of war against
Austria Hungary" said Senator
) Hitchcock, might be con-
strued as Endorsement of Italy's
: demands upon Austria. These
; include a demand for territory
; which virtually would deprive
; Austria of every seaport-a
; fruitful situation for a future
war. 1t is a question whether
the United States would be will
ling to give such an indorse-
ment."

The Federal Government Asks
All Women 10 Register
Through WOmen's Committee
Council Of National Defense.

Women who have already
registered through the Red
Cross and women who have
signed Hoover pledge cards are
asking why they should regis
ter again. The answer is the
Red Cross has carefully defined
lines Of service. 1t cares for
the wounded and sick. provides
hospital equipment and sup
plies, furnishes necessities such
as knitted garments not fur
nished by the government, and
generally .supervises military
relief work
This is only one department
of the war work women will be
expected 70 do. Undoubtedly
much clerical work Will be
needed by the Red Cross. But
more Will be needed in other
activities. Home charities. So
cial welfare work. outside
training and concentration
camps, re-educating disabled
soldiers. conservation propa-
ganda, are among the more i'm
portant activities which the
Red Cross does not attempt 10
cover.
Added to these are the in
creasing demands for women to
take the places of men who are
with the national army. Both
forms of registration are op-
tional but that of the Council
of National Defense is cen
sus Of the woman power OF the
nation Though not compul-
sorry, the federal government
has asked for and expects such
q census.
The registration cards lists
156 occupations for women: for
some of these you will be fitted.
If YOU do not know exactly
how YOU can help. the nearest
registrar viii tell you.
Your country and your state
need your help To use your
best, they must know what you
can do best. Registration is
the foundation for all future
war work. The women of Ida
no must make this foundation

Several workmen struck February

Inspector George McEldowney. The
report says that last week only a
small part of the force had returned

men on the Job in a few days.
Engineer Fred G. Kirchhoff reported
that the work is not going along as
fast as il should, although the wea-
ther has been exceptionally favorable.
The board directed him to write
the contractors instructing them to
put on more men.
The Puunui sewer work came up
again but no action was taken Chair.
man Charles n. Forbes came into the
meeting few minutes after noon and
took vigorous stand in favor Of
asking the city and county road de-
Bartment whether it has set any time
for reconstructing and repaving Lii
ha street, the condition of which has
caused most Of the rumpus. Forbes
said new pavement would be better
than trying to fix the old one, which
he said was as bad outside the ditch
line as inside it.
Consulting Engineer James I. Tay-
lor addressed the board urging that II

the Pail road and making extra exea-
vations Of 1900 cubic yards, the whole
to cost $3.50 extra The commission
authorized the extras.
The Kakaako electric sewer pump
unit was accepted and final payment
authorized. Purchase OF, $3.50 worth
