Slovak officer has arrived at Arch
angel with word that 10000 loyal Rus
slams are operating with the 10000
Czecho-Slovak forces moving west
ward along the trans Siberian railroad
from Ekaterinburg. The news reached
the state department today in a mes
sage from Ambassador Francis dated
Aug. 26.
Since the officer left Ekaterinburg
more than a month ago further ad-
vances by the CZechs have been an.
nounced Dy telegraph but his report
is regarded as important because of
the light it throws upon the relation
of Czechs with the people of the coun-
try to which they are moving.
He said the Russians are pleased
with the overthrow of the Bolshevik
focking to the support of tie CZechs.
Leaving Ekaterinburg August 2 on
orders from the commanding officer,
who had been asked by the allied
council to get messenger at Arch
angel the officer arrived at Vologa,
August 13, and at Archangel August
"a after many vicissitudes.
According to this officers story
former Emperor Nicholas was shot on
July 16, but the Bolshevik officials
withheld the information for two days.
The disposition of the body was un-
known, but it was rumored that it had
been burned in coal mine. The en-
press and the Czarewitch were said to
have been taken by the Bolsheviki
from Ekaterinburg to an unknown des-
tination.

"The Americans finally gained the
ascendency and consolidated their
positions near Terny-Sorny. Gen.
Mangin two days ago visited the AM
erican general commanding this unit
and expressed complete satisfaction
over its achievement, pointing out
how important the sector northward
from scissors is and how the Germans
had brought fresh troops forward to

PARIS, Sept. 4.-Between Ypres
and Rheims, with General Mangin
menacing the ST. Gobain forest and
the Chemin Des Danes, with Generals
Humbert and Debeney advancing on
st. Quentin and the Franco-Americans
on the Vesle, with General Rawunson
before Peronne, General Byng before
Lens and General Plumer before Ar
mentieries. the enemy feels the soil of
France slipping from under his feet.
Commentators point out that in the
present offensive, continuity has been
maintained lasting 46 days without a
break and that not since the begin
ming of the war has such an extended
series of hammer blows been directed,
throwing the adversary into complete
dismay. The enemy apparently is un-
able to reorganize his forces to make
stand capable of arresting the on
ward march Of the allies.

CZECHs TAKE NEW HEART IN
FIGHT AGAINST GERMANS
AND AUsTRIANs
RUSSIANS DISCOVER HUN LIES
Natives Take Up Arms As Soon A
They Hear Truth Concerning
Army

Washington, Aug. 16.-The march
Of events in Russia from news re-
ceived today seems to be rapidly as
suming the proportions Of route Of
the Bolsheviki and nature to bring
dismay to Germany.
With allied troops rapidly moving
south from Archangel, forces OF Brit
ish. French. japanese and Americans
troops at vladivostok and operating
to the westward. and British force
at Baku, the Czecho-Slovaks have
taken new heart in their heroic fight
against the Germans and Austrians.
Late dispatches today recorded the
advance Of the allied troops from
Archangel to Paberespskaia. 100
miles south, on the road to vologda.
The Bolsheviki are retreating and
we're reported committing every
known atrocity upon the civilian
population which openly espoused
the cause Of the allies.
The Bolsheviki throughout Russia
are reported not only fleeing the ad-
yancing allies, but the newly aroused
Russian who have learned that the
allies are not beaten on the west
front, as the Germans and Bolsheviki
have been persistently preaching.
AS the real news reaches the
great mass OF the people the men
are reported taking up the arms that
they carried home with them when
they were disbanded after the de-
bacle Of Brest-Litoysk. J..
Reports, official and otherwise,
from all parts Of Russia indicate the
news Of the appoarch of the allies
spreading throughout the country
and that peasants are flocking to the
standards of any group openly anti
German and anti-Bolshevih.
The landing of American troops at
vladivostok. announced yesterday by
Secretary Baker, marks the actual
beginning of operations from the ST.
lberian coast to the relief of the
Czecho-Slovaks.
British and French contingents
have been at vladivostok for several
DAYS and there is reason to believe
that the Japanese have also landed.
The principal opposition by the
Bolsheviki and the armed German
and Austrian prisoners is on the 81
berian railroad between Lake Baikal
and vladivostok.

PASS CREEK CANYON
NO LONGER Terror

Pass Creek Canyon, in Douglas
county, just south of the Lane coun-
ty line, will have a good macadam
road its entire length by fall, says
the Cottage Grove Sentinel! This is
good news to motorists, who for sew
eral years past have declared this
stretch of Pacific highway to be the
worst between Portland and San
Francisco with the exception of some
stretches between Dunsmuir and
Redding, Cal. Contractors are now
working on the road in Pass Creek
canyon and the grading has been
practically completed. While the
roadbed in it's present condition is
rough for automobile travel, It is
wide and the turns have been made
safe from collisions as the automo-
biles round them. The work Of
spreading the crushed rock has al
ready been started in places, and by
the. time the fall rains begin the con-
tractors expect to have it completed.
With the installation of the over
head crossing a Divide, at the north
ern end of the canyon, and the inn
provement of about mile of road in
Lane county from the Douglas coun-
ty line north, this will be one of the
best parts of the entire Pacific high
way.
The bad places in the highway be-
tween Dunsmuir and Redding are
rapidly being replaced by standard
highway construction, with easy
grades and wide turns, and 1t is ex-
pected that by year from this fall
the work will have been completed.

SAVE ALL DEER HIDES
FOR USE Of Av|ATQRS

The nucleus OF an organization was
formed in Roseburg at the county
clerks office, having for its object
the saving OF deer hides for making
aviation jackets. says the Roseburs
Review. In all large cities the sight
OF receptacles for disposal OF worn
out kid gloves for that purpose ia
familiar. 1t has been found that
buckskin. properly tanned. is an ex.
cellent article. suitable for the same
purpose. Thousands Of good deer
skins yearly go to waste in Oregon
alone, owing TO the fact that the av-
|erage hunter will not take the pains
to save the hide.
1t is determined to make an effort
this year to save this valuable ma
terial. and for that purpose club
has been formed to look after the
hides and make this an important
contribution toward winning the war
1t is proposed to make everyone fur
nishing deer hide member of thil
club. A neat card showing member
ship will be issued to each contribu
tor.
