The Austrian official statements today
confirm Rome announcements that the
Italian offensive in the Julian Alps and on
Importance and extent. The Italian com
mander apparently is following Anglo
French tactics of striking mighty altcrna-
tive blows at his enemy's flanks. The
roar of his guns can already be heard in
Trieste, but the wilderness of volcanic
rocks and caves which lie between him
and his goal make a rapid advance under
the most favorable circumstances practi-
cally impossible
The most advanced Italian posts are
scarcely more than ten miles from the
great Austrian naval base. This distance
is not to be compared with an equal ex-
tent of open country.
Presumably the decentralization of the
Russian fighting forces has forced halt
in the British campaign in Mesoptamia, as
nothing has been heard from that region
for some time.

Eight Teachers Resign

Last Saturday eight of the
 eleven teachers employed in the Holbrook schools rendered their
 resignations to the board of
 trustees of the schools. the re-
 signations to become effective at
 the close of the present term.
 All of the resignations have been
 accepted by the trustees, and at the beginning of the winter term in January there will probably be a new corps of teachers in charge of the schools. with the exception of Prof. Gallagher. Mrs. Arnold and Miss Whet- stone.
 The action of. the eight teach CTS in resigning was caused by friction which has existed for several weeks between the prin- cipal and the teachers. For some time the trustees had been cognizant of the condition of things and they had endeavored in various ways to remedy it. Their efforts failed to accom- pIish the desired result, and eight of the teachers. possibly with the idea of precipitating rendered their resign ations. T h a t the trustees promptly accepted the resigna- tons. instead of taking a course more in accord with the wishes of the teachers, has caused some discontinue among them.
 The whole affair is an unfor- tunate one and is one for regret by the patrons of the schools and other citizens interested in their welfare.

Depository For Money Settled

Mention was made in the News of the case of the St. Johns State bank and Apache county Vs. Joe Burgess. county treasurer. which was a suit for mandamus to com pei him to deposit the money of the county Tn the St. Johns State bank. This case was tried last month and taken under advise ment by Judge Perkins of Flag staff, before whom the case was tired. He has just rendered his decision and granted the man. damus prayed for. His decision holds that the St. Johns State bank. having been legally des- ignated as a county depository for county moneys, was entitled to have the county moneys de- posted with it.
 The county treasurer in his answer contended that the coun- ty treasurer had the right to cancel his designation of the St. Johns State bank as a depository and to deposit the money in any bank that suited him, but the superior court held against him.

Smoke Dance Saturday, Night.


 Saturday night at the Pastime theater the managers will give a free dance for the benefit of the U. s. soldiers in France. No charge will be made for dancing, but every person who at- tends will be expected to eontri- bute something towards a fund for the purchase of tobacco for Uncle Sam's boys in the:trenches. Contributions may be in cash or Tn "makings" of a smoke.
 "Our boys in France tobacco fund" was started in New York a short time ago. It was en- dorsed by the secretary of war and secretary of navy, and by the governors of Arizona and other states. Moving picture and other theaters have taken an active interest in the proposi- tion. most of these houses are setting aside certain percent age of their gross receipts for the fund. The Pastime in Hol- brook will donate 5 per cent of the gross receipts during this week to the fund.
 The management of the Pas time are entitled to great credit for donating their theater and orchestra to this worthy cause. They hope that the people of Holbrook will attend the dance tomorrow night, and that all will contribute literally to the tobac- co fund.

 court promises to be a long one
