SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.

A dispatch this morning stated that
the British had made considerable
gains between the Somme and Ancre1
rivers, the Germans not offering much
resistance.
There is increased tension on the
Italian front where the Allied forces
have been holding positions since las
November after the great Italian re-
treat from Isonzo, and it is expected
that the long threatened blow at this
front may be launched within a few
days. A critical economic and poll
tical situation, however, is oEfi tally
conceded to be developing in Austria
Hungary. The crisis in Vienna is
marked by dismissal of the Austrian
parliament by the Emperor's order
and the declaration that forcible
measures would be taken to make a
resumption of it's sessions impossible
Emperor Charles of Austria, &C.
companied by his chief of staff ano
high German and Austrian officials
is reported on his way to the Itallar
front, and the great movement o.
troops in Tyrol and Trentino woule
seem to indicate that vast bodies o.
men are being taken from othe7
fronts to be hurled at the Italian
positions.

HONOR FLAG RAISED.
Honor Flag of Third Liberty Loan
Floats From Flagstaff OF New
Town Hall.

When the fire alarm sounded at .
n m. Thursday and the fire truck
lifted its siren and rushed its noisy
wav to the new town hall, Elm and
Second streets, it was not on account
Of a fire but to call people together
to celebrate the fact that Lumber
ton had subscribed its allotment to
the third Liberty loan to help put
OFT a world-conflagration and sound
the death knell of autocracy, that
twin enemy, with slavery OF man.
Mr.. Junius J. Goodwin, secretary
to the county Liberty loan committee
Of which Hon. A. w. Mclean is chair
man. mounted the truck and introduc-
Cd to the crowd Mr.. H. E. Stacy, who
presented to the town on behalf OF

was stated that Mr.. Mclean might be
made chairman of the board, that ne
is considered worthy Of this addition
al honor. That would mean really
vice chairman, for Secretary McAdoo
is named chairman in the act creating
the board, but the vice chairman will
virtually have to perform the duties
of chairman as Mr.. McAdoo's mani

BILE to give attention to the details

Tabulations last night at Wash

total, which may run to $4,000, 900 900
will not be definitely known until
Nav 13, four days after individual
banks are required to report to Fed
eral Reserve banks.
Analysis of reports showed that
probably 100000 persons bought
bonds in this campaign, seven million
more than in the second loan and
12,5OO. 900 more than in the first.
Robson county made fine record.
The amount apportioned to this coun-
ty as a minimum was $298, 400. Sub
scriptons at the close of the campaign
Saturday night make the handsome
total of $434,500, an oversupscrip-
tion of $136,10O.
