Russia Recovering

London, July 3l.-Russia seemed to
day to be recovering from the virus in
iected into her armies by the German
spy system. Dispatches showed on some
sectors of the great northeastern front
Kercnsky 5 troops had assumed the in
itiative and were vigorously pressing
the battle.
In Russia, German Chancellor Mich
aehs' statement designed to eliminate
Russia from the allies, apparently did
not create a ripple of interest. London
newspapers today emphasized an inter
view which Premier Lloyd-George grant
ed on his return from Paris asserting:
"The Russians are an incalculable
quantity. They fought when the least
expected and hung back when it seemed
they ought to go on. Ny latest infor-
nation is that Russia win recover and
become as formidable as ever. -
In this same connection, editorial
comment today applauded Foreign Min
lister Balfour S statement in the house
of commons yesterday, denying the
German claim that the allies warred Tor
conquest.

STRIKES SETTLED

eratiOns tomorrow morning ON the eight
hour day basis for employees, led to the
prediction today that all Tacoma mills
would fall in line and will be running
before the end of the week.
The report came from striking en-
ployes, who declared they had been told
by officials of the company that the
eight hour day would be granted.
Officials of the company would not
comment on the subject.
As E. G. Griggs, president of the
company, is member of the Northwest
Lumbermen 5 committee who has been
directing the $500,000 -eight-hour
day fight, the resumption of that mill
would practically mean the end of the
strike in Tacoma and perhaps through
out southwest Washington.
Pressure brought by the State Coua-
ell of Defense and by DR.. Carlton Par
ker, representative of the war depart
ment at the meeting or the council in
Olympia Monday said to have had
a big effect on the lumbermen.
This coupled with the fact that the
list of Tacoma mills establishing the
eight hour day is steadily growing, is a
big factor today in forcing Tacoma
millmen to eoneede the demand of the
timber workers.
Eleven Tacoma mills were on the list
of those which either have granted the
eight-hour day today or have promised
to do so tomorrow.
I.umhermen are still holding out IN
the anti-eight hour day porgram are try
ing desperately today to stem the tide
that has turned against them.
Since Monday -four large Tacoma
plants have announced the establish
ment of the eight hour day.
The Carsters Packing company which
was closed hy a strike of employees last
week, resumed operations this morning.

GREAT BATTLE

force of an unparalleled blow strucl
north of the River Lys.
French troops, cooperating with tn,
British crossed the Ypres- Lille cana
and swarmcd over the enemy's first
and second lines. Meanwhile British
lTommies struck savagely and success
| fully, driving the foe back.
The British force captured LaBassee
vile in the first dash.
All counter attacks were repulsed
here, as well as elsewhere.
This afternoon the victorious troops
were consolidating their new gains.
This colossal battle began in Elan
ders just before dawn in mist and fog
and under thick, low-lying clouds, The
two forces, British and French, deliv-
cred a simultaneous blow.
First reports, coming in at the time
this is cabled indicate the advance is
going well everywhere.
In the region OF Ypres the British
have taken the German system of front
line trenches and at an early hour in
the day were still advancing. Artillery
is now moving forward at an extraor-
Idlt OI pIuSItSs.
Tanks were observed well in the for
ward van of the advance.
AT 1880 this morning when / passed
headquarters both the British and
French reports had detailed capture of
many prisoners and a great quantity of
booty.
With this titanic smash, the allies
are now moving to the east, to the high
er ground beyond the bloody Yser
The attack itself began at a. M.
The artillery fire and barrage prepara-
tion was absolutely unprecedented in
its violence. 1t literally blasted away
every vistige of the German front
lines.
Heavy fighting accompanied every
inch of the way forward from this front
line. The Germans fought desperately.
All over the ground concrete ''pill
boxes" as the Tomnies have hickman
ed the German machine gun turrets,
poured their fire at the attackers.
The low lying clouds forced British
lviators seeking out new artillery rang
IS and signalling for advance of the
)arrage, to fly very close over the enc
ny 3 trenches.
Fog clouds prevented British off
'ers noting progress Of the advance;
,ut the airmen filled their places. The
leadly accuracy of the barragc was due
o their skilled reports.
1t was plain the Germans had been
an attack and very shortly |

LaBasseville is located on the River

half miles north of Armenteries. From
There authoritative reports last week
