BATTLE RAGING IN
5TREETSOF MOSCOW
8olSheviki and Reds" Clash at
Capital.
GRENADES AND BOMBS USED
Soviet Troops Fire en- FLAG Flying
From Anarchists Headquarters--
Kaiser Makes New De-
msnds on Russia.

Moscow. May 15.-Fighting began at
hight in the center of the city between
)olshevik troops and anarchists. The
soviet troops surrounded the anarchist
headquarters, over which a black flag
vas flying, aad fired on the flag.
The anarchists replied with grenades
md machine guns. Similar fights oc-
'urred on other streets. One of the
groups, known as the anarchist fed
afalistS," who were using bombs,
showed the white flag after a half
hours fighting.
At noon fighting was still in prog
resS.
New Hun Demands on Russ.
Washington, May 15.-Details of the
latest demands on Russia by Germany
were received here from Swedish
sources. Russia has been asked to
give up Moscow, cease arming troops
and TO dissolve all recently formed
units.
Firms Assassinate Russ.
An official statement declares that
after the occupation of Tammerfors,
Finland, by the Finnish White guard,
800 Russian officers and men were
shot.
The Russians, it is declared, We're
taken to the Municipal theater at night.
The next morning, the statement says.
they were brought out in groups of 90,
lined up and moved down with ma
Cline guns.
The statement also contains report
on the battle fought near Lahti, the
engagement reported by Berlin to have
resulted In the overwhelming defeat Of
the Red guard, in which 10000 of the
Red Guard forces were taken prison
ers, early this month. The statement
describes the engagement as a des-
perate and bloody one and declares the
White guards and the Germans lost
about 1000 killed Many civilians, it
IS stated, were killed BY th,,l1N m
DomDardnlefit.
Entire Caucasus Seized.
Moscow, May 15.-ThEough the cap
ture of Rostov-on-DOn the Germans
have gained control of the Caucasus,
the grain districts in the DOnetz basin,
and the coal, iron and oil fields.
Northern Russia is now cut off from
the Caucasus except for a single rail
road through Tzaritsin in the south
ern part of SaratOv, which the Ger
mans now threaten.
Coupled with the fall of SebastOpol
and the overthrow of the Ukraine
rada and the establishment in the
Ukraine of bOurgeOiSe government
wholly under German domination, the
capture of ROstOv-On-Don has created
great uneasineSs in Moscow and PetrO-
grad.
May Move Capital.
A German advance in central Rus
sia is generally feared, and the remov-
al of the capital to Yekaterinburg in
the Ural mountains is being discussed.
Germany's overthrow of the Ukraine
government, with which it had made
peace, is regarded by north Russia as
a step toward its occupation.
Within a few weeks the future Of
PetrOgrad and Moscow probably will
be determined, as it is considered that
the soviet government either must
submit to Germas domination or re-
treat eastward and prepare for a de-
fense against the invaders.

Wrapping Newspapers For Mailing

Second Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Otto Praeger has issued the fol-
lowing statement: There is being
received at port Of embarkation
q large number of club packages of
newspapers from different publish
ing houses thruout the country ad-
dressed to the American Expedition
ary Forces These packages neces-
sarily have to be opened and the pa
pers distributed in accordance with
their individual addresses to the
to the various military units to
which addressed, and the individu-
al papers are not in good condition
for shipment to France, as the long
journey and necessary handling be-
fore they reach the addresses result
in much wear and tear on the pa
ers. Postmasters are directed to
call the attention of publishers to
this matter and request them to
separately wrap and address all pub
lications intended for a member OF
teh American Expeditionary Forces
abroad in order that the papers may
reach the addresses in readable con-
| dition."

The saw mill Of Walter Tame and

on the bench two-miles north east
of OrOano. went up in smoke about
IL o'clock Monday night. There
was no insurance. The lumber had
been piled some two hundred feet

lumber was partly insured. The
mill still had a lot Of logs to cut.
probably half million feet, with
a lot on the sideways.
This is the second mill DESTROYED
by fire for Mr.. Tame within q few
months, and the loss is . heavy
blow. He has the sympathy Of ali,
How the fire started is q mystery.
Between nine and ten o'clock the
mill was visited and no hrs any
where. Some little time previous
Mr.. Tame had sprinkled everything
down as a precaution. and there
was no fire under the boilers. The
engine. boiler. and probably the
edger can be saved with little dam
age. $500 worth Of wood piled
near the mill was lost.

Hit EN- In the Eye.

The splendid results which the
American Marines attained at Cha
teau Thierry are due, military ex-
perts tell us, to their skill in the
use of the rifle. American Marines
rank with the worlds best marks
men; and there is probably no other
fighting organization in the word
which can produce SO large a per-
centage of qualified sharpshooters
as they. In recent qualifying
etst for Marines who are still in
= raining in this country, no less
than 9O.S per cent of the partici-
pants qualified. This is an added
argument in favor Of military train-
ing which shall be universal, for the
Marines in France have shown what
value gun is in battle when it II
in the hands Of man who knows
how to use it.

was run over the grade and went
down an embankment some 200
feet. The Overland was being
towed into Orofino for repairs, one

rather fast and Mr.. Steele became
confused in the dust and let his

very narrow at that point. For
tunately Mr.. Steele managed to
jump and clear the car, escaping
serious injury.

COUNTY ASSESSORS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR AUTO TAX
Enforcement of Automobile License
Laws Are Not Part Of His
Duties.

Moscow tar-Mirror: has
been much dispute as to whose duty
1t is to enforce the automobile laws
and to see that all cars are provid-
ed with licenses. The county asses
sor issues the licenses and 1t is
claimed by some that 1t is his duty
to enforce the automobile laws. Mr..
Gemmill. county assessor. claims
this Is not true and points to the
statutes and has asked the secretary
of state for an opinion, and finds
that both state laws and the Sec
retary Of state hold that 1t is not
the assessors duty to enforce the
laws.
Section IA. Of the 1917 session
laws of Idaho, says: 1T shall be
the duty Of the sheriff. deputy sher-
IFS, constables. policemen. game
wardens and deputy game wardens
within the state of Idaho to enforce
the provisions of this act (the au-
tomobile laws and to make arrests
for the violation thereof.
In letter to Mr.. Gemmill, ask
ing for information on this mooted
question, w. T. Dougherty, secre-
tary Of state. makes 1t very plain
that 1t is the duty of the peace on
GERS and not the assessor to enforce
the laws. Secretary of State
Dougherty's letter follows:
"E. J. Gemmill, Assessor,
Moscow. Idaho.
Dear Sir:
l am quoting below copy of opin-
ion rendered by the assistant attor-
ney general, which l think may be
of interest to you, in view of the
fact that there, have been reported
many violations Of the law provid-
ing for the display Of two automo-

wise you that the operation of an

lation of the law. Offenders should
be arrested by the local peace ofi-
GERS, the same as for the violation

is no more the duty of the assessor
than that of any other citizen. He
of course. has a right to call upor

Answering Another Call.

Idaho will, commencing July %,
answer another draft call, this time
supplying 1000 class one men for
the National Army. They are to be
trained at Camp Lewis, American
Lake, and will entrain for that
point. This call will leave less than
1000 men in class one. That class,
however, will be added to with men
examined in deferred classes and
newlyweds who are to be placed in
class one unless they can show de-
tendency or expected dependency.
Raising the draft age will add ma
terially to the first clas men In this
state. Unless 1t is raised the boards
will have to go into deferred clas-
sifications to meet the heavy de-
mands for men. 1t is claimed by mil
itary officials.
During the month of June Idaho
filled a draft for 1000 men who
were sent to Camp Lewis. This
was one of the heaviest calls made
upon the state since the draft law
went into effect. 1t was filled
promptly. however. and without hes
itation. just as former calls have
been and future calls will be.
The July call of 1000 men has

EXTENSION FORCE rREBBLED.
Directors Fluharty's Report Shows
Great Work Being Done.

Great Work BENG U04e.
The Bi-Weekly News Letter of

contains the following interesting
review Of extension service:
More than three times the num-
Der of extension workers as compar-
ed with q year ago is one Of the
significant features Of Extension
Director Fluharty's report just sub
mitted to the State Board Of Educa-
tion This increase, Of course. was
made necessary by the call of the
Federal Government for many kinds
Of information and for close contact
with the people on their farms and
in theid houses through the medium
Of the extension division. A further
and important reason for growth of
extension work Is the active demand
Of the people of Idaho for this SER
vice.
A year ago the County Agents
numbered IA. The number today is

Demonstration Agents. There are
now 10. Two of these, Gertrude

In various activities in Idaho. all

direct the representatives of the
University of Idaho. The campus Of
Idaho's State University, therefore,
becomes, as never before, as broad
as the states entire area.
Thirty one counties are now sup
porting County Agents. Three more
will probably arrange to support
County Agents by January 1st.
1919. There are four Assistant
County Agents located in the fol-
lowing counties: Canyon, Twin
Falls. Latah and Bannock. The
Club Leaders, now numbering 81.
are employed for the most part dur
ing the summer months only. Sup
erintendant Rae of Burley and Sup
seriutcndant Simmonds of Lewiston
have taken up work with the Exten-
sion Division as Assistant State
Club Leaders.
Squirrels and other pests have
been destroyed through cooperative
plans with the U. s. Biological Sur
vey. Work was carried on in 81
counties. Poison was the principal
means of exterminating. There was
distributed to the farmers of these
21 counties more than $4,000

chased by the farmers through the
