Replies were receled from each place that the substance was undoubtedly pitch blende, but that there was not enough in the samples submitted to determine whether or not it contained radium.

QUARREL CONDENSED One Merlin dispatch says that Hub slaim who were captured near Jsros lau were equipped only with Iron clubs. Instead of rifles for weapons. The military consequences of Italy's entrance Into the war will depend very largely on the ammunition the Italian army has accumulated. If an Immense supply Is available, the Ital ians should be able to make progress, snd to retain what their initial rush may gain. There Is much room to doubt, however, whether the Italian government foresaw the need of an unlimited quantity of high explosive shells sufficiently far in advance to have them ready at the present time. In the Turkish operations the allies continue their activities and the offi cial report records further progress and confirms the dispatch sent by General Sir Ian Hamilton to Australia that In an attack on the Australian and New Zealand positions the Turks suffered a loss of 7000 men, of whom 2000 were killed. Roumanla, It is reported, has re ceived assurances from Bulgaria that If Roumanla decides to join the allies and go to the aaslstance of Russia by an Invasion of Transylvania, Bulgaria will not attack her, and that, in fact, Bulgaria herself Is considering the possibility of taking similar action, al though hor attack would be directed against Turkey. Both British and French say they have made hdadway at La Bassee, but the Oermans declare that all attacks have been repulsed or that the fight ing Is still In progress. Apparently GERMAN ATTACK IS REPULSED BY FRENCH (Special to The Argus.) Paris An attack made by the Oar mans In the Argonne forest was re pulsed with extremely heavy losses, according to the official statement made by the French war department. The official announcement added that "the repulse of the enemy In this re gion has been complete." This report says also that attacks along the entire front were general, and "at only one point did the enemy obtain a footing for even a moment," this waa In a Fronch advanced trench, mul the French report goes on te say that the Germans were Immediately driven out, with the loss of several prisoners. ROAD WORK IS DIVIDED IN LINN (Special to The Argus.) Albany. A new plan for volunteer road work has been devised by D. B. McKnlght, county judge of Lion coun ty. Instead of observing state or coun ty good roads days the county court here will endeavor to have the ob servance of Community Good Road days. The new plan Is expected to prove effective and result In the com pletion of considerable road work at small coat. The plan Is to have each road dis trict in the county set a best adapted date on which to observe a good roads day. The oounty court will furnish all necessary machinery for the work and send ample supplies of gravel or crushed rock and other equipment In to the dlatrict so that It will be on hand for that day. The Community Road day is expect ed to prove much more successful thau one to be observed throughout the county as a whole. This was 11 lustrated In the state good roads day. In some parts of this county the roads were loo wet to work and be cause of unusually late rains the streams were too high In most places to permit convenience In securing gravel. Another advantage of the Community Road day will be that road building machinery can be shipped from one district to another, so that each district celebrating the day will have an abundance of equipment. 0.

WAR NEWS the allies arc engaged In straighten Ing out their fronts to conform with the positions which they won In recent engagements- a tnsk to which the Germans sre offering stubborn resist ance with numerous and cleverly plao ed machine guns. A ministerial crisis In England has developed Into a newspaper campaign against the Kitchener dictatorship The minister for war Is being accused of trying to exercise omnipotent pow ers, and of endangering the success of Great Britain's military operations!. Never before In the imagination Of man has a battle gmued such propor tions and Intensity as that brought about In Oallcla and the Carpathians by the Austro (Jeriniin drive from (lo west, nceonllng to reports reaching London from Berlin and I'ctrograd. The total losses probably never will ho known, but run Into the hundreds of thousands. Merlin declares that the Germans alone have captured 104.000 Russians, 72 cannon and 252 machine guns since the engagement began, while Petrograd reports thit 40,000 Austro-Germans were captured. The Austrlans and Germans assert no fur ther progress In their offensive In mid die Gallcla and so the llrltlsh critics draw the conclusion that the big bat tering ram which drove the Hiisslans eastward, and, at some points, across the San river, has been brought to a standstill against the bulwark., of the Russian reinforcements. SCHOONER WRECKED OFF OREGON COAST (Spiclal to The Argus.) Marshfleld, Or. Except for the as sistance of the dredge Colonel I'.

Captain S.

It was just long enough for the boat to hit on the end of the submerged jetty. Psace Trssty With Russia Mads.
