 This qaesasep Y .qcosr ssa4asssssivr- has been no irdication as tc what course will ne followed. It is recalled, howAver that only recently Secretary I~arssing. tn a formal statement expressed the deep sympathy with which this government views the national aspirations of the iCzecho-Slovaks and other oppressed peo- pies of the Austro- Hungarian empire
 When informed by the Associated Press tonight of the action of Great Britain. Prof. T. c. Masaryk president of the Czecho-Sloyak national council, and as such commander in chief of the Czecho- Siovak forces operating in Italy, France and Siberia, expressed his high apprecia4 ton and said 1t was doubly valuable sine 1t comes after adoption of a similar course by the other two great allied powers
 Only recently Professor Masaryk placed all the Czecho- Slovalx forces under his command at the disposal of Marshal Foch, supreme commander of the allied and American forces on the western front. The forces in Siberia are to be aided by military expeditions now being sent to that country by the United States, Great Britain, Japan, France and China.
 The Czecho-Slovaks are regarded IS one of the most powerful Of the disaffect- ed peoples in Austria Hungary They inhabit long stretch of territory on the southern boundry of Germany and their representatives in the entente capitass have contended that establishment of an independent Czecho-Slovak nation after the war would set up barrier between Germany and Austria and dissipate the pan-German dream of an open road from Berlin to Bagdad,
 It was reported on Monday that Premier Lenine and War Minister Trot- zky of the bolshevk government. had fled from Moscow to the naval stronghold or Kronstadt. and that the bolshevik gov ernment, as a whole. would follow them there. owing to the difficulties of com mttnication with Russia. it seems probable that the above dispatch has been de- layed in transit and rerers to an event of several days ago. Lenine's declaration was made prior to August 3. when Ameri- can Consul Poole, at Moscow, informed the state department at Washington that Lenine had told a gathering of soviets that state of war existed between the Russian government and the entente al- lies.

! In Bibb and Talladega counties,
 where the proposed prohibition amendment to the constitution was submitted to the people, the amend ment has apparently lost. In Dallas, however, the amendment was success lful, and the anti-amendment candi-
 dates, running without opposition, will be compelled to vote for ratifica- ton of the amendment by the legisla- ture.
 The race for lieutenant governor be- tween c. c. Nesmith and Nathan L. Miller is apparently exceedingly close. In Jefferson county the indications are that Charles West, candidate for the
 senate, will lose to John T. Glover. Mir. West had lead in the county precincts. which is being cut down by returns from the city boxes.
 still in doubt Brooks Lawrence, super intendent of the Anti-Saloon league, claimed the election of majority of amendsts at midnight. The antis, how ever, were apparently confident that they had carried the day. The reports from the various counties follow:

ADVANCE SLOWED DOWN

With the French Army in France, Ar gust 1a-(By the Associated Press.)--0er- man forces have momentarily slowed down the rush of the French toward Noyon. The enemy is now standing on the old line west of Rove and Lassigny, in which he stood from the autumn of 1914 to the spring of 1Sl7 Tn this region the old Qualifications and wire entangle- ments still remain.
 There was very sharp fighting yester- day on the heights of Thiescourt. partic- ularly in Loges wood, which was car- tured at noon after.it had been drenched with gas The division that carried tle woods fought in masks all the morning In the afternoon the Germans counter attacked ana reoccupied the woods.
 The task of the French in this re- zion is extremely difficult. as the Ger mans knew the ground thoroughly, have all the ranges and have brought up heavy guns to replace their enor- nous losses in field artillery. They also have massed machine guns in all of the numerous favorable positions they still hold on the plateau that pro- tects the road to NoyoN

as the closing feature of the first phase of the battle of the Avre. The second phase awaits only the arrival of needed endorsements and material. Reports from aviators state that the disorder on all the roads leading to the rear of the German front is indescriba- ble. Every cross road constitutes an admirable target for airmen.
 Ayiators, after serving to replace heavy artiller by bombing front areas. are now aiding the infantry and cav airy When these forces are stopped by machine gun nests airmen flying low. drive the gunners from their posts The infantry or cavalry rush in and capture the guns before the enemy can resume fire. All through the bat tie of the Avre the allies appear to have been masters of the air over the battlefield. Few German machines have crossed the line and of these not many have gone back.

 There was an action last night well up the line ih Flanders toward Kemmel. but reports of it's results have not been re- ceived. At any rate, it was small and relatively unimportant affair.

AERIAL SERVICE ACTIVE

NtliA tiiC T ICnCn <ATuly III FTaECGs August 13.-(By the Associated Press) During the battles of the last few days. the aerial service. particularly bomb ing squadrons, has been playing a most important role. The bombing planes have virtually replaced the heavy artillery, which the allies were not able to bring up fast enough to keep pace with their advance
 The work of these airplanes is so organized that they immediately at- tack groups of infantry, convoys and supply trains when they receive signals from reconnoitering planes In this their work is very similar to that of the heavy artillery in it's coordination with the aerial service.
 Bombing squadrons are kept ready for constant service at airdromes eo that they may take the air at the instant a call is received from sienaI planes, troops or conveys, in villas es or at road terminals
 This system was employed at Las signy the other day. An obseryinr plane reported the town encumbered WftE troops and supply trains. Air. planes to the number of 121 flew to the spot and Fl tons of bombs wer. dropped. This attack caused a large fire, destroying motor lorries. and blocked the streets of Lassigny. tyin- up the movement of the enemy for hours
 All cross roads as we'll as railway functions where important lines Of communication meet are under con- tinual attack from these bombing planes
 COUNTER ATTACKS FURIOUS
 Paris, August 13.-The furious counter attacks which the Germans continued to launch yesterday are attributed here to their imperative need of holding the Chaulnes- Rove sNoyen line. the loss of Which, would amount to a disaster to them The counter attacks were all broken, although the enemy had reached ground with which he was perfectly fa- miiiar in previous fighting and was oc- cupying line which gave him goo1 holding ground because of the old le. lenses there.
 The German resistance along this line is compared by commentators to that or :, fered by the enemy in his retirement from the Marne. when he based his inter. mediate defense at Onlchy and Fere- En- Tardeners. When these two centers of resistance were broken the entire front fell in and the Germans were compelled to evacuate his pocket and withdraw D the Vesle. The same effect is looked fo. here when. as anticipated, Chaulnes and Noyon fall. The Germans then will have to retreat across the upper somme.

As matter of fact, the small but nevertheless important local gain made by the allies just north of the Somme river, to say nothing of other successfl Ii minor operations for improving positions. more than t-ebly outweigh the extremely light gayns made by the Germans at . heavy cost at two points in the line.
 Strong enemy concentrations have be en reported between Rove and Fouquescourt, but so far they have done nothing. ii really they are there for an offensive purpose. In the northern battle area, especially in the Bray region, new en < emy defensive barbed wire has been found, while earthworks are being con structed at several places behind the Ger man line. Probably the enemy has re moved much of his material and has sent in nearly all the endorsements he cares to risk at the present time.
 MORLANCOURT SPELLED
 Morlancourt is being heavily shelled. while the enemy, with aerial bombs, nas apparently attempted to blow up the to get away
 British and French guns have been busy today pounding German rear areas and the crossings over the Somme.
 Enemy shells that are coming m are being fired at an extreme range, prob ably from we'll on the other side of the Somma. This is especially true of shells aimed at the districts south of the Amiens-Nesle road.
 Between the Ancre and the Somme the operations of the British, which resulted in small material advance and the capture of enemy positions, provoked only a scattered smelling from field guns.
 British ai-planes continued to drop tons of shells on the enemy especially In the neighborhood of Peronne. Enemy transports are also suffering from ihe British bombers. One of them secured direct hit on a transport train on the Ham Nesle road. It is now established that giant Gotha. with five engines. which was brought down few nights ago near Talmas, carried a crew of nine, all of whom were killed.

During recent years we have

LEAD MINING AND
SMELLING INDUSTRY

Fifty years ago lead was cheap
because 1t came from easily worked
bonanza deposits. Since then the
upward tendency due to steady de-
cline in grade of ore and increase
In cost Of labor has been counterbal-
anced by improvements in mining
and metallurgical methods. together
with decrease In freight rates.
Freight rates were recently increas-
ed rs per cent. With such unexpect-
ed jumps In the price of transporta-
ton, the custom smelter who con-
tracted several years ago to treat
ore at a price based on current and
expected costs at that date is left
with the alternatives Of negotiating
for revision of the payment sche-
dule. shutting down, or tumbling in
u bankruptcy.
Since the war the price Of every
thing has scared. In an inquiry In
that labor is receiving 80 per cent
the Salt Lake region 1t was found
more now for q considerably less
efficient performance. Supplies have
increased 35 per cent, coal 80 per
cent and coke so per cent.
The smelter Is hard hit ON account
OF its large requirements Of lux,
coal and coke. The miner is ham,
pered by ore freights.
The result is that producing lead
on a 7-cent market In 1918 is not as
good business proposition as on q
4-cent market In 1914. The mining
company can easily see the folly OF
insisting upon the continuance Of q
contract which will shut down the
smelter, A smelter with a sliding
