Petrograd, Aug. 1.--On the occa-
sion of the third anniversary of
the commencement of the war be-
tween Russia and Germany the offic-
ial newspaper, The Army and Fleet
of Free Russia says no signs are Wis
ible either of a military solution of
the situation or reconciliation be-
teen the opponents. Summarizing
the last IL months events the news
paper asserts that Rumania's defeat
was the first undoubted proof that a
victory by the allies was attainable
only by indefatigable and simultan-
eous operations ON all the fronts.
''This lesson was taken TO heart, :"
the newspaper adds. "and consider
Ing Germany's failure I'm 1916 at
Verdun and on the Somme and her
defeat by Gen. Brussiloff there
seems to be excellent prospect for a
decisive success IN 1917. The events
following the Russian revolution are
the causes of the recent disaster.
The enemy has not hesitated to
resort to any means to take advan-
tage Of the backwardness Of the
mass Of Russian soldiers and their
susceptibility to incitement by agita-
tors. the result Eof which was frater-
mixing between trenches and serious
defeats, The cause Of the entente
has been saved from disaster only
thru the heroism and self sacrifice Of
Great Britain and France.

The message to the president said
that miners in Michigan had begun
q general strike, that Minnesota min
ers would follow and that harvest
hands in North and South Dakota
would fall into line unless men de-
ported from their homes were re-
turned.
The above on the part Of Mr.. Hay

dismissal from Bisbee,: Ariz., Of his

ed what he proposed to do about the
deportation of Mr.. Moore Mr.. Hay
wood said:

Little, the I. w. w. organizer lynched
today at Butte, Mont, telegraphed
Governor Campbell of Arizona from
here, July, 1917, as follows regarding
the deportation from that state of
members of the I. w. W.:
Understand that the miners un-
ion will take some action at Globe
and Miami, las was taken at Bisbee.
The membership of the. I. w. w. is
getting tired of the long lawlessness
of capitalistic class and will no long
er stand for such action. If you, as
governor, cannot uphold the law, we
will take same into our hands. Will
you act or must we?"
In reply, Governor Campbell said
he felt sure no deportation would
take. place with, the federal troops
stationed in the district and that
he was using His best efforts. Con-
cluding, he said:
81 resent your disloyal and un-
kindly threats in view of my earnest
efforts to bring about law and order
and such forces as will maintain same
and further like behavior on your
part will be punished to the full ex-
tent of my authority"

On the other hand, report was cur

peared to be a member. He took a
prominent part in labor troubles in

Chicago, County Clerk Jones this after
noon returned to the Chicago company
the check which had been fled in con
nection with the bid for the road bonds
for the completion of the Pleasant
Prairie work. 1t is admitted that the
possibility of the Pleasant Prairie
work being done this year is very
vague. Members of the county high
way commission have declared that
they will not sign contract for any
work until the county bonds are sold
and these can not be sold until after
the township bonds are turned over.
Bankers who have arranged for the
purchase Of the township bonds, seem
to be of the opinion that there is a
cloud on them and they are declining
to accept delivery until the boot has
been removed.
