London.-In one year on the British
western front the royal air force has
accounted for3233 enemy airplanes. In
the same period the naval airmen shot
down 629, total of 1856. An official
statement dealing with these. opera
tons says:
THE royal air force during the year
beginning July l, 1917, on the British
western front destroyed 2150 hostile
machines and drove down out of con-
troll 1888. In the same period the air
force units working in conjunction
with the navy shot down 629 hostile
machines.
During this period 1894 of our ma
chimes were missing; 80 of these were
working with the navy.
On the italian Front.
"On the Italian front from April to
June, 1918, the British destroyed 165
hostile machines and drove down six
out of control. Thirteen of ours were
missing
"On the Saloniki front between
January and June q hostile machines
were destroyed and Is were driven
down out of control. our of ours
were lost.
In Egypt and Palestine.
From March to June in Egypa and
Palestine &c hostile airplanes were
destroyed and 10 were driven down
out of control. Ten of ours were
missing.
I'm all the theaters of the war the
British air superiority and strength
progressed rapidly and continuously.
From this it is safe to assume that
when the new factor of Americas out
put, both aircraft and personnel, en-
ters the situation in the fighting zones,
the aerial ascendency of the entente
allies should give them very great
advantages"

WAIT WILSON'S WORD.
TRY TO STOP THE BOLSHEvIKI
Hun Prisoners and Lenine Followers
Not to Have Full Sway-American,
English and Japanese Marines
on Guard at Vladivostok.

Washington, d. C.-News of the dis
patch of British reenforcements to 81
IBERIA to support the Czecho-Slovaks
controlling Vladivostock and a long
stretch of the trans-Siberian railroad,
was received here Monday through Of
fetal channels.
Apparently whatever may come of
plans for allied and American military
Intervention in Russia on great scale,
the hard fighting Czecho-Slovaks are
to be given by the allies the aid nee
essary to prevent them from being
crushed by bolshevik forces operating
with released German prisoners.
Just what British forces have been
dispatched is not known here, nor is
it clear whether the government move
is part of general plan of action de-
termined upon in the absence of Amer
lean approval and cooperation in an in
PREVENTION program. British, Ameri-
can and Japanese marines and blue
jackets already are ashore at Vladi-
vostok guarding war stores.
There is nothing to indicate that
President Wilson had changed his
view that a military expedition to 81
IBERIA could not be undertaken without
weakening the front in Europe.
Senators Demand Action.
Russia was discussed Monday in
both houses of congress. Senator
Borah of Idaho made a plea for both
military and economic Intervention,
opening a debate in which Senator
Thomas of Colorado said Major Ray
mond Robins of the Red Cross had
informed him peaceful methods would
be most successful and Senator Poin-
dexter of Washington denounced the
bOlshevik leaders as traitors. In the
house Representative London of New
York, socialist, defended the bolshe-
Wiki and predicted that order would be
brought out of chaos in Russia.
John Kookine of the Russian mis-
sion issued a statement asserting
that any attempt to establish a gov
eminent of national character must
fail without friendly allied help.
Bolshevik Power Wanes.
Germany is exercised at the situa-
ton in Russia if the utterances of her
newspapers go for anything. The idea
that the bolsheviki are retaining power
by the veriest thread is reflected in
advices to some of the German organs
and the fear that the bolshevik regime
will fail, and with it the elaborate
edifice erected in the German interest
by the Brest-Litovsk treaty, is openly
expressed.

markets eased off under continued
heavy receipts.
Cheese-Quotations are unchanged
at 20 cents, with market quiet and
supplies adequate.
Eggs-LOcal production is slowing
up and quotations are advanced slight
ly to $11 to the producer and $3.50
Q12.75 wholesale. At Chicago an up
ward trend due to heavy consumption
and government requirements was fol-
lowed by a slight reaction. New York
is firm under good demand and eX-
pectatiOn of lighter receipts.
Poultry-Receipts of hens have fall
en- off materially since the 4th, prob
ably on account of interest in harvest
ing. Few broilers have been coming
in and it looks as if not many were
raised this season. Prices unchanged.
Fresh Meats-Hogs are up 25 to so
cents through the list. Grass-fed cat
tie have been coming in freely with
the drying up of pasturages-in fact,
too freely for the future good of the
industry. Sheep are steady. There
have been readjustments in the
dressed list to correspond.
Lard and Cured Meats-There have
been practically no changes of conse-
quence. Lard is firm. Demands sea
sonably good.

have been no changes in either de-

tiful from local and outside sources

ter than last year at this time; it is
estimated for the Pacific Northwest
