War Summary

Another day has passed without
the demoralized Germans along
the Ypres front making an effort
to regain the ground they lost last
Thursday south of Npres. How
ever. the Teutons heavily bonn
barded British positions which,
with additional terrain, was taken
from them saturday night on sew
eral sectors.
Aerial activity of the German
and British fliers continued Sat
urday. Nine machines were ae-
counted for by the British. who
themselves lost three.
There has been no fighting
where the French ar" facing the
Germans rising ahoV" the char

In Macedonia. especially along
the Nardard river sector. artillery
duelS are in progress.
In the Austro- Italian theater the
fighting is being don" entirely by
the artillery. From tn" fact that
Italian reconnoitciing parties are
being sent ont to survey the new
positions of the AuStrians on the
CARO- front another ELeat battle
probably is not tar distant.
The situation at Eronsiait
where the Council Of Workmens
and Soldiers delegates is still de-
flying the provisional government,
remains tense. The movement for
81 fhc establishment of u republic in
Russia has been joined by con-
Eress of peasant delegates of all
Russia.

Just one week from today and an
other big contribution will go into the
fund for MissOula's municipal swim
ming pool. For on Monday. June IL.
the Mount Jumbo Civic league has ar
ranged to give q patriotic entertain
,nent at the Bijou theater, the entire
proceeds going to the pool. There will
be no expenses for the show as the
theater has been donated for the oc-
casion and the scene shifters have
promised their services free of charge.
To give the widest possible sale to the
tickets the boys of the league will be
organized to sell out the house before
hand.
Two Performances.
The show will be given twice that
evening. No less than 1G acts make
up the entertainment. Among them
are included 4 flag drill by the Red
Cross nurses and the boy scouts and
dances by Miss Molly Kearney. The
rest OF the program has not been defi-
nitely arranged, but the league officers
announce that the best talent in the

Benefit Dance Friday Night.
Friday night, June Is, the Missoula

whether affiliated with the local lodges
or not, to dance with them for the
benefit of the swimming pool.
In another column of The Missoulian
are the details of the baseball game
yesterday between the Elks and the

that Missoula kids are $4s closer to a

The collections amounted to $50.5O but
$3.50 had to be subtracted from this
to pay for baseballs needed.
Rattiesnake Box Social.
A box social, the kind where the

The fact that the business office of
