Warning To Leave Town.

Butte, Mont, Aug. S.-A silent pro-
test against the lynching Of Frank H.

the I. w. W.. will be staged by about
1000 members of the /, W. W. late
today or tomorrow. when Little's body
is sent to Chicago, or to Fresno. Calf,
for burial. The miners will march be-
hind the body in silent demonstration
as the body is being carried to the
depot.
The members of the union who
have the arrangements in charge, to-
day assured Major Sargent, COM
mander of the battalion of the Sec
ond Montana infantry on duty here,
that there will be no violence The
officer informed the miners that he
had no objection to an, orderly par
ade, but that he had orders to pre-
vent occurrence of any disorder.
William Sullivan. attorney for the
I. w. W. today, still refused to turn
over evidence which each claims to
have duplicating several nIen in the
lynching, to the authorities. Officials
say that Sullivan is merely 'bluffing'
and admit they have no tangible clew
to the identity of the lynchers. 1t is
likely that additional rewards will be
offered by the county and state.
Many MesSages-SOme Threatening.
Two hundred messages from local
I. w. w. unions all over the country
have been received. All express re-
sentiment at the lynching, and many
contain threats of violence. Plans
for a nationwide demonstration by
all I. w. WIS in every city, during
the hour that Little's body is being
lowered into its grave. are being
made.
Pickets have been appointed by the
I. w. w. to meet all incoming trains
and direct members of the organize
ton, many of whom are expected to
come here as a result of Little's death,
to headquarters. Circulars distribute
ed by the I. w. W. today openly
charged that Little was murdered by
mining company gun men.

MUM ON AUSTRIAN MIDDLE.
Russia Joins Italy in Demand U. S
Declare War on German Ally

Washington, Aug. Big offensive
operations in the Balkans against
Teutons will come soon, allied agents
here said today.
This development is a result of re-
cent conferences here and abroad
among allied diplomats and bears
more or less directly on Italy's recent
demands for more active work against
Austria
Italy's irritation had subsidized to
a marked degree today. Russia mas
sided with her in the demand that the
United States declare war on Austria
and apparently the other entente ma
tons have told Italy that there will
be immediate separate peace with
Austria-the thing Italy opposed
1t is regarded significant that peace
talk out of Vienna is now being loudly
cheered by representative German
newspapers.
