About the same time, the bolsheviN

tators of the Lenine and Trotzky type,
opposing the efforts of the United

one of their chief arguments to make
the Russian people believe that the
pleadings of the United States for the
cause OF democracy were insincere.
Effects of Case Wide.
Thev declared in their public speeches
that the Mooney case was an example
of autocratic government ons IN .nls

TO the President that the effects Of the
case had become worldwide among
the workers.
The feeling of disquietude aroused

1t is we'll known that practically all
the prominent labor leaders upon whom
the President has been calling for Ia

been asking the President to intervene

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, March 2s.-The Germans are
still rushing UP artillery for a continu-
ance of the battle. but In some sections
the guns are coming forward somewhat
slowly. Prisoners say that food sup
plies also are coming UP badly. because
of the lengthening Of communications.
Certainly no small part of the German
difficulty in getting guns. troops and
supplies forward has been due to the
marvellous work of the British airmen
since the inception of tho battle. The
British aviators have waged such in
tense warfare over the enemy territory
that the Germans have been forced to
abandon some OF the highways and en-
ploy roundabout routes. A striking
example of this is the Albert Bapaume
road, which IL one of the main arteries
and which the Germans are compelled
to avoid.

Frequent rehearsals are being held

Conrad Wolfe, of Spokane, presi-
dent and general manager Of the Red
Monarch Mining company, visited the
property last Tuesday. Upon his re-
turn in the evening he exhibited sam
pies of lead and zinc ore taken from
the face of the east drift which were
of decidedly better grade than the
ore previously encountered, Much
milling ore has been developed since
drifting started on this vein, which is
the first one Of three that pass
through the Red Monarch. The cross
cut is being extended to cut the other
veins. 1t has now been advanced al
most 5000 feet and recently stringers
of ore have been encountered. 1t is
probable that arrangements will be
made by which this crosscut will be
extended to point under the Rex
shaft, to which raise will be made
The Rex management believes thai
this plan will be more economical
than sinking the shaft, and 1t will alst
have the advantage Of providing goot
