and woods which fill the terrain be-
tween the Aisne and the Marne.
Latest unofficial reports placed
the advancing French, American
and British soldiers on a line from
Pcmmiers to Scissors, to Belleu,
the valley of the Crise, Chacrise,
Arcy-St. Restitue, Loupeigne, Ma
| reuil-en-Dole, Dravegny, Moine
wood, Ihery, Tramery, Treslon,
Gueux. Thillois, and north to
Rheims. This is somewhat north
of the line as reported in the French
official statement Friday night but
most probably indicates gains made
| later. This line has just a slight
| curve as compared to the original
pocket and virtually wipes out the
flanks east and west.
Germans Burn Stores
Fismes, the main German base on
the Vesle, is six miles north of Moine
wood, through which French cav
airy are reported to have penetrated.
Large fires have been seen at vari-
| GUS points within the German lines,
especially near Fismes. Heavy ex-
| plosions also have been heard, indi-
eating the Germans are preparing
to fall back still farther north.
Southeast of Scissors the French
and British have been advancing
against more or less opposition.
The French and Americans in the
center are reported to have met
with slight German resistance after
! the stubborn fighting of previous
days in the region of Fere. South
west of Rheims the advance also
has been slower than in the center.
Hun Line Menaced
The fall of Soissons, which had
been in the hands OF the Germans
since May 29, is a serious menace
to the line of the Vesle and even to
the line of the Aisne, as the French
also have moved forward three
miles on the north bank of the Aisne
! to Pommiers. At no place are the
troops of General Mangin, General
! Degoutte and General Berthelot
more than seven miles from the
railway line paralleling the Vesle,
and allied guns are hammering it
| hard on the ends and probably in
the center.
In the first battle of the Marine
the Germans found q tenable posi-
| tion between the Aisne and the
| heights of the Chemin des Danes.

! them back at least that far this
| time. The elimination of the flanks
apparently does away with any
! great portion of the German force,
as seemed likely two weeks ago.
The Marne salient probably will be
blotted out and the German defense
in the west seriously weakened.
Most important has bRn the num-
Der of German divisions used up in
the fighting and which has not yet
ended.
German People Fooled
"Desultory fighting" is the way
in which Berlin officially describes
the present situation. The German
war office declares that in the f1ght-
ing of Thursday, which paved the
way for the present advance, the
allies were repulsed.
Elsewhere on the western front
and in Italy and Macedonia there
has been no change in the situation.
Aerial activity on the British front
continues intense.
Admiral Won Holtzendorff, who
several days ago apologized for the
| failure of the submarines to stop
| the flow of American troops to
! France, has been retired as chier
of the German Admiralty staff. His
place is taken by Admiral Scheer,
commander of the battle fleet.

GERMAN U-BOAT
SINKS BRITISH
BOAT OFF FUNDY
Enemy Submarine, Lurking
For Prey, Sends Lumber
Schooner to Bottom

EastpOst, Maine, Aug. 3-The crew
of nine men from the British Schoon-
er Dorfontein were landed at Grand
Menan, N. B., to-day They reported
that their vessel was sunk by a sub
marine last night between Briar
Island and Grand Manan.
The submarine was lurking at the
entrance of the bay of Fundy through
which shipping from ST. John, N. B.,
arrives in the open sea. The mouth
of the bay. which extends between
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. is
40 miles wide but the passage which
is deep. also is comparatively mar
row. Submerged lodges extend far
into the bay from either coast and
the channel is a dangerous one for
shippers to whom it is not thoroughly
known.
The Dorfontein was bound from St
John, N. b., for a port to the west
ward. The crew escaped in one of the
boats and landed at the life saving
station on Grand Manan Island.
Grand Manan Island is eight miles
east of the eastern extremity of
Maine and Briar Island, N. s., is 35
miles southeast of Grand Manan, on
the eastern side of the Bay of Fandy.
Boston, Aug. 3.-Naval authorities
here received word of the sinking of
n schooner by a submarine in the
Bay of Fundy last night but withheld
details. 1t is understood here that
the schooner was owned in st. John,
N. B. Grand Manan is twenty miles
from Eastport.
,., Nfr
| that the schooner probably was q
four master, built by an American
company at st. John, and launched
recently. 1t was the first sailing ship
| turned out from the new yard and ac-
| cording to information received by
Boston underwriters a few days ago
was ready to proceed for African
ports.
! Washington, Aug. 3.-After remov-
| ing a quantity of provisions from the
schooner near the Maine coast yes
terday morning the crew of a German
submarine set fire to the vessel, the
| Navy Department was informed to-
day by the commandant of the first
naval district.
st. John, N b., Aug. 3.--Because of
| the presence of a German submarine
in the bay of Fundy, military author
tiles to-day ordered all lights out in
this city tonight.
Cavalry in Pursuit
On the northern end of the plateau
to the southeast of scissors the
French have advanced from Venizel to
point south of Braine, on the Vesle.
The advance is continuing on the
line farther to the east.
French cavalry are on the Vesle
river between Champigny and JON
cherry north and northwest or
Rheims. UP till IL o'clock this
morning the allies had not crossed the
river at any point. ALI the bridges
over the Vesle have been destroyed.

HAIL AND ELECTRIC
STORM At kENDR|CK
MUCH DAMAGE DONE TO CROPS
( BY STORM WHICH SWEPT
OVER LARGE DISTRICT

JULIAETTA.-Thursday afternoon
hail-storm visited this section, only
the edge Of it reaching Juliaetta. AT
Kendrick there was a heavy shower
of hail, some Of the stones being as
large as walnuts.
In the Cedar Creek section, south
east of Kendrick, orchards were
stripped Of their fruit and grain fields
were damaged greatly. The telephone
line to the Linden Crescent Cedar
Creek sections is entirely out of COM
mission as result of the electric
storm, which was accompanied by a
heavy wind. Scott Pickens, who was
visiting that section, said: II saw
one fine field of wheat, as went up,
all headed out. AS / returned there
was scarcely a stalk standing in that
field. On American and Fix ridges
the storm was severe, it was learned
over the telephone.
Following the storm the atmosphere
was cooled and the contrast to the
hot weather which has prevailed here
for several weeks was welcomed by
all.

chandise. of all kinds, including dry
goods, groceries and fruit.
The public is emphatically assured
that there will be no trick or short
selling. Goods will be knocked down
to the highest bidder. This is to be.
the committee declares, bona fide
sale.
It is hoped that every individual,
whether solicited or not, will con-
tribute some saleable article on this
occasion. G.. E. Bolles, of the corner
drug store, will receive and care for
any donated articles. M. P. Miller
ha sgiven the use of his empty build
ing on Third and Main for storing
contributions
Garfield, Grangeville, Caldwell, and
numerous other small towns in Idaho
and Montpelier have raised from
$4,000 to $4,000 by this method during
three sale hours. Moscow is more
than twice as large as any of these
smaller towns. Saturday, June %
will go down in history, it is hoped, as
the biggest community stunt ever
pulled off in Moscow.

MOSCOW Minister
LEARNS OF BROTHER
REV. w. H. BRIDGE HEARS FROM
BROTHER WHO HAS BEEN
IN GERMAN PRISON

Lieutenant Harold Bridge, brother
of Rev. w. H. Bridge, has recently
been transferred from German pris-
on camp to Holland. Rev. Bridge has
just received two postals from Ger
many, mailed last January. He also
learns that his brother was wounded
in the nose and hand and his hearing
destroyed, in Vimy Ridge.
After capture he was confined for
five months without exercise in one
room. In Holland he is being well
treated and is attending the Univer-
sity of Utrecht and expects to take a
foreign language diploma. His wife,
girl of 10, has been driving heavy
mail auto and enjoying it hugely.
Rev. Bridge hopes to obtain some
first-hand observations about condi-
tions in German prison camps and in
tends to hand them on to the Star
Mirror.

Ed. Boear Killed Yesterday

Ed. Bogar was killed by an auto
mobile driven by M. E. Walker, Of
Kendrick, at the Red Cross picnic at
the Steel school house on Texas
Ridge, yesterday. This word came to
The Star-Mirror this evening by tele-
phone from Kendrick. Mr.. Bogar be-
came excited, it appears, and stepped
backward directly in front Of the car,
which knocked him down and the
wheels passed over his body. He was
taken to Kendrick and died last night.
It is said no blame attaches to Mr..
Walker. Bogar is said to have wife
and three children.

RED CROSS TO HAVE
A MAMMOTH SALE
LARE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY
DONATED FOR THE ORGAN
IZATION is TO BE SOLD

An event of the very first Interest
to every resident in Latah county will
be the mammoth Red Cross auction
which will be held at the intersections
of Third and Main streets on Satur-
day afternoon, June %, from 12:3(
until 8 o'clock. The money raised by
the sale Of contributed articles will
go to the treasury of the local chap
ter, whose funds must be Immediately
augmented if the great and necessary
work of this organization is to be sue
cessfully prosecuted. The local chap
ter is regular manufacturing plant
of no inconsiderable proportions. The
surgical dressings and hospital gar
ments it makes are more in demand
than ever, now that so many thou
sands of American soldiers are max
ing up the weekly lists of the allied
woundet. And in order that Moscow
may continue its noble record in
meeting it's share of the demand, the
plan Of holding a huge auction next
Saturday has been adopted by a spe-
cial committee appointed to devise
ways and means of enriching the
treasury.
The sale will be made great gala
event for Moscow and all the sur
rounding territory. There will be q
fine band concert Immediately pre-
ceding the sale, and it is hoped that
the strains of martial music Of Mr..
1oCrey's band will be as effective in
assembling the crowd of buyers as
the circus calliope is in gathering
swarms of boys.
A specially picked committee of
rustling business men will canvass
town and country next week to So
icit all kinds of saleable merchandise.
Everything will be put up for bids
from one egg to thraashing machine,
a piano, Liberty Bond, or a herd Of
sheep. No gift will be refused by
Auctioneer Walks by reason Of its
size, whether large or small. Among
the saleable gifts already donated is
a town lot in Moscow. This is one
of the largest and handsomest lots
in the city, and represents am invest
ment Of nearly $1,000 on the part Of
the present owner. Among the con-
tributions desired are furniture, live
stock, machinery, produce and mer-

ELKS FLAG DAY PROGRAM
PLEASES A LARGE AUDIENCE

There was good attendance at
the Flag Day exercises given by the
Moscow Elks in their temple last
night. The program, as previously
published, was carried out and was
greatly enjoyed. The address Of
William Goodyear, well known pioneer
newspaper man of Pullman, was
splendid effort. The musical pro-
gram was of special merit and every
number was well rendered The sing
ing of Mrs. Herbst, of the college at
Pullman, won merited applause and
the audience entered with spirit into
the singing of the national hymn.
Taken as a whole, the entertainment
was of the usual high standard of
those given by the Elks.

Armies Again DeadlOcked
(By Associated Press.)
The attempted drive by the armies
Of the German crown prince towards
Paris seems definitely to have been
checked. With thousands of their
men having been fed to the guns on
the Montdidier-Noyon and Soissons-
Villers Cottrets sectors in the mad
rush to pierce the allied lines in these
regions and. thus gain fairway to
the French capital, the maneuvers of
the German commanders apparently
have brought to the German arms
nothing more than the obliteration of
the Noyon salient, and the capture of
few unimportant positions south
west of Scissors near the outskirts Of
the Villers Cottrets forest.
Thursday, the sixth day of the Of
fensive between Noyon and Mont
didier, witnessed only small local ac-
tions. Less than three days was re-
quired by the allies to bring the
enemy to virtual halt south Of the
Aisne.
The feeling still prevails in military
circles in France that the main effort
of the Germans has not yet been
launched, and speculation is rife as
to when it will come and what the
general objective will be = whether
Paris or the channel ports. It is
known that the enemy still has large
effectives behind the lines, thousands
of them brought from the Russian
front.
The armies of General Foch, how
ever, everywhere are watchful and of
such strength and good morale as to
lead to the belief that no matter
where the enemy chooses to oppose
them they will be able to give splen-
did account of themselves.
Seemingly it is not improbable that
Field Marshal Haig's forces will be
asked again to measure their strength
against the Germans, and that the
territory near Arras, or in the Scarpe
sector, or both positions, may be
chosen by the Germans as the theater.
In both these sectors the German guns
are working with the system that gen.
orally presages such an attack.
In the Marne sector there is almost
continuous artillery activity in the re-
gion of Chateau Thierry, where Amer
leans are fighting beside the French.
On the other sectors of the front COM
parative quiet prevails.
American, British and French air.
men continue to carry out aerial op-
erations above and behind the enemy
lines. American airmen have par
ticipated in the bombing assaults and
safely to their stations, al
though they were heavily shelled by
anti-aircraft batteries.
AS yet the Austriahs have failed to
start their expected offensive against
The Italians.
