Mr.. c. j. Hugo,

Dear Friend:
We arrived all O. K. No trouble.
Would say the old ST. was the first
car that pulled through the pass with
its own power through the snow.
Going west was up grade; going east
it was down grade, so all could pull
through. Mrs. Purnell was quite tired
when we got through. We went by
the way of Lewiston, Walla Walla and
The mileage was 480
miles. Side trips and all, % gallons

minute. W. were just four days
through. The weather is fine
and we are sure having a good time
and the finest kind Of fishing.
They have fine highways here, con-

Hagan & Cushing had a novel ex-
perience one day this week, when
their truck went to the packing house
for a load of meat to be shipped by
the electric train to Palouse, for the
W. /. & M. train to Potlatch, Boviil
and Dreary. The driver was. delayed
and missed the train. Mr.. Cushing
told him to make the run to Palouse,
which he did with l IL tons of meat,
getting into Palouse in time to catch
the train for Potlatch with the meat.
A little more than two hours was re-
quired to make the run to Palouse,
unload and ship the meat and get
back to Moscow.

merely occasionally, but frequently.

well as the men themselves, back up
General Pershing in that request. The
letter from home is the brightest

message directly to the women of
America:
"Any woman who has a husband,
brother, sweetheart or relative in
foreign service, should write, write,
write, long, cheerful letters telling
everything that happens in the old
home town. The men here are hungry
for news and the things which seem
like trivial happenings at home will
be of the greatest interest to the
men. The order which l would send
to the women of America is to work
and write"
1t isn't the women alone who sh,uld
write, however. American soldiers

French and Italians Continue

BULGARIA MAY QUIT
Be Weary of War-Allied Forces
In Position Where Austro-Buigar
Line May Be Outfianked.

London, July 12.-The eyes of the
Allied world are momentarily turned
away from the battle fir mt in France,
where the Germans are beloved to be
preparing for a res eSlIaption of their
offensive against the positions held
by the armies of the Allie nations.
The most active area in the vari-
Gus theaters of the war is in Albania,
where the French and Italians are con-
tinuing their successes against the
Austrians.
While it is not expected that far.
by the offensive in this section of the
world the movement has in it possibili-
ties which seem interesting. The rap
i'd progress made by the French and
Italians, the probability that the
Austro Bulgar line to the east past
Lake Ochrida may be outfianked and
the possibility that an offensive may
be launched along the Saloniki front
tend to give the events in Albania
some Importance at a time when the
main battle area is quiet.
There have been indications recent
ly that an offensive might be begun Il
Macedonia if for no other reason than
to draw Austrian and possibly German
troops from Italy and France. 1t is
reported that the Bulgarians are wal
weary and that powerful blow along
the front north of Saloniki might
bring about notable military and poll
tical results. The Teutonic armies in
Macedonia have been savagely attacl
ing the Allied lines, but have beer
driven back.

FRENCH TAKE corey
6uIgarians Attempt to Draw Allied At
tention From Albania and Are Re-

North of Monastir.

London, July 12.-Under Franco-Ital
ian pressure the Austrian troops in
Albania have retired beyond the Berat
Fieri line in the direction of the
Skumbi river and Elbasan, the nearest
natural defense northward. The evac-
uation of Bera, announced from Vien-
ma, probably was due to the Italian
progress around Fieri aad the French
advance between Lake Ochrida and
the Tormorica valley, up which the
Austrians also are retreating, pursued
by the Allied forces.
The fighting in the Macedonian the
atre has spread eastward and the Bull
garians are making strong attacSs
north of Monastir, apparently to draw
Allied attention from Albania. The
Bulgar attacks were repulced with
heavy losses by the French. There
is great danger that the Bulgarian line
east of Lake Ochrida will be outfiank-
ed should the Allied forces reach the
Skumbi at Elbasan.
French improve Defenses.
The French continued their jam
ming tactics on the westerly side of
the Marine calient southwest of Sois-
sons, capturing the town and railway
station of Corey and the, farm and
Chateau of st. Paul, south of the city.

ing TO the remarkable success of the
Czeeho-SlovaS legions in re ts;abnsh.

Fear to Weaken Western Front.
1t was stated authoritatively, how
ever, that none, of the plans consid.
cred had met the objection fthe
United States that they involved a
weakening of the Western front in
Europe.
Besides this objection, there has
been a reluctance on the part of the
Administration to depart from its pol
icy of noninterference in the internal
affairs of a friendly country, although
it was admitted that an exception
might be justified in the case OF ST.
IBERIA if it were clearly established
that the native population was forcib-
ly dominated by Austro-German sol
diers.

1t is understood that an agreement

the Russians economically to rehabil-
itate themselves wa sabout as far as
the negotiations between the Allies
and the Washington authorities had
progressed when news of the rapid
Czecho-Slovak campaign in Siberia
demonstrated the necessity for revi-
sion of any plans of a military cam
paign in that country.
1t was said that the developments
were so sudden and unexpected that
it was not now possible to decide just
how and when military aid should be
extended.
Economic Aid Goes Forward.
There is no intention, however, OF
abandoning the plan for the introduc.
tion into Siberia of supplies from
America needed by the people OF that
country, and the personnel of the com
mission to take charge of this work is
now being selected.
Recognizing the great value of the
work being done by the Czecho-Slo.
vaks in counteracting German activi
ties in Siberia, without entering into
the political quarrels of the Siberians
the Allied powers will give the legions
sympathetic and material support, II
need be, as they hold this would be en-
tirely consistent with an attitude o1
neutrality in view of the fact that the
CZecho-Slovaks are their Allies, and
are pledged to refrain from asserting
control over the country through
which they are passing once they
have put ii in order.
