In the fights along this front of some 250 miles the Russians already have made prisoners of 480 officers and more than 25000 men, and captured twenty-seven guns and more than fifty machine guns In this offensive, which is declared be a carefully co-ordinated move- ment, the Russians are said to haye a plentiful supply of ammunition and fen, and with the roads now in good pndition their maneuvers are ex- cted to develop swiftly I'he number of Teutonic allies fac~ g the Russians is reported to be sout 600,000 men Since the repulse of two German in- fantry atacks between Fort Vaux and Daniloup Monday night, the fighting in the Verdun region has again de veloped into artillery duels, with the Fort Vaux-Damlopp sector the center of the greatest violence. No material gains for either side are reported, The Austrians are still being held from further advances and with heavy losses by the Italians, according to Rome. In the Valdarsa and Pasubio ectors and on the front between the P’osina and Astico rivers vicious Aus trian attacks have been put down and the Italians have even gained some Austrians in the ground against the vestern slopes of Monte Cengio I'he Turks in Asia Minor, near Bai burt and Erzingan, have again at tempted an offensive against the Rus sians, but Petrograd says their efforts failed A successful raid has been made by the Russians against the Turks in the vicinity of Khanikin, near the Persian border northeast of Dagdad ¢ i British Journals Praise Kitchener As National Hero| London, June 7.--The morning newspapers today will give up their editorial space to black hordered eulogies of Kitchener, Chief interest perhaps attaches to the tributes of the papers of Lord Northcliffe, which after hailing Earl Kitchener in the early days of the war as the only man for the war office, turned on him a year ago with bitter denunciations as being an over-rated man who had had no experience except in little Asiatic horder campaigns. The Times and the Daily Mail were publicly burned in the Stock exchange after their first attacks on Earl' Kitchener, and by resolution were barred from many public reading rooms. l'oday, however, both these newspa- pers lay aside the old animus and sound no discordant note in the uni- versal chorus of editorial praise of the fallen leader Culls From the Wire Strike breakers were employed for the first time since the walkout on Juns 1 of iongahoremen affiliated with the Pacific coast “district of the International Long oremen's asosclation following the rejec companies os and a n & hun hed from anking Jill, p the ay Wiirond builder an waneler, who week ago, was filed in the t 8t Paul led a county probate Tl HEREE § AT Hit Clark Near Juchoan Bivd.

The defendant is accused of murder The prosecuting officer said the de fendant took the three men from the guard room with the remark, “I am going to shoot them, as | think it the right thing to do.” The guard room orderly made a report regarding this to the adjutant general, who sent a message to Cap tain Bowen-Colthurst, but it is not known whether it reached him. At all events declared the prosecutor, the men were taken to the yard and shot by a firing party of seven men Officers testified that they had been on duty seventy-two hours at this Kitc‘he‘n;f Lauded Highly by the King; Army Will Mourn ” June 7By the king's command the following order has been issued to the army “The king has learned with pro found regret of the disaster whereby the secretary of state for war has lost his life while proceeding on a special mission to the emperor of Russia “Field Marshal Lord Kitchener gave forty-eight years of distinguished service to the state, and it is largely due to his genius and unwearying en ergy that the country has been able to create and place in the field the armies which t are upholding the traditional glories of our empire, Lord Kitchener will be mourned by the army as a great soldier, who, under conditions of unexampled difficulty rendered both and devoted ser army and to the supreme vice to the state “His majesty, the kind, commands | that the officers of the army shall wear mourning with “their uniforms for the period of one week.

One of ficer said that after the shooting he noted a movement in Skeffington’s body and told the captain of it, the latter then ordering that the squad shoot again. Another volley was fired into the body. It was testified that Captain Bowen-Colthurst told Major Rox- burgh, who was in command of the portobello barracks, that he had shot the men on his own responsibility and probably would hany :or it General Bird, the witness for the defense, related how Captain BoWwen.

Are You Hesitating ? TIME is a PIRATE—always at your elbow, threatening, bullying, forcing you to a decision. % Most{people. not very strong of will, let things go. They can’'t decide. They hesitate—~and se out. They never foresee, or grasp opportunities. Take two instances. After the lunfi depression which ended about '96, came a tremendous wave of inds Perity to the United States, Anybody with half an eye could that real estate would have a remendous rise as well. It did—it doubled and tripled in value. But there were not very many reople who bought land for this big rise. Now if you want to buy a farm, you have to pay two or hree times as much for it as you did ten or fifteen years ago. You pay dear because you hesitated, The great war in Europe is another example, Anybody could see that it would bring a tremendous scarcity in metals, chemicals, dyes and other things, and force high prices. It has. But very few people bought iron or copper, or quinine or dye-stuffs, for tgo inevitable rise. _ Now they pay dear. These are big instances. Every day brings lesser ones. There is one in front of you now. You can now buy the ““Handy Volume' Issue of the new Encyclopaedia Britannica at one-third the price of the Cambridge University issue of the same work. This phenomenally low price was possible only by contracts for an enormous printing, when prices were very low. Now Erlcen for paper and printing and bind- ing have risen rapidly, uncxpecte&fy, and we cannot obtain from the publishers any more sets at present prices. After June 17th you will have to pay from 811 to 810 more per set for identically the same work, $11 more for the cheaper to $19 more for the ) j A= o, - more expensive bindings. We be- lieve you will never be able to buy it as cheaply as you can now. Which are you going to do— decide, or wait—and pay more ?
