COPEVHACEX. Aug-. 1. A dispatch
to the Berlin Vossische Zeitung says
the Russian resistance for the defense
of Czernovitz is increasing-. Fresh
troops are fighting: with great energy
and without faltering in strenuously
opposing the Austro-German advance
on KIrlibaba.
Fighting is most sanguinary, but the
defenders are unable to prevent the
Austro-Germans occupying positions
favorable for further operations, in
cluding Kimpolung-. The writer pre
dicts the Itussians will be soon forced
to abandon Czernovitz.
PETROGRAD. Aug. 1. The begin
ning of a partial offensive by the Rus
sians in Galicia in the direction of
Trembowla is announced today by the
War Office. A hostile position, -was
carried in this movement.
Roumanian)! Take Prlxonera.
Southwest of Kimpolung, toward the
southern end of the fighting lines, the
Russians were forced back somewhat
in the region of Xegrey. They were
also compelled to retire to some extent
to the east of Gerement. between the
Dniester and the Pruth region.
The statement says the Russians suf
fered great losses when they were
forced to retire across the Zborcz yes
terday. A telegram from Jassy says the
Russo-Roumanian advances between
the Casin and Putna valleys resulted
in the enemy losing, between July 24
and 28, 98 guns and about 4500 pris
oners. The enemy front of about 60
kilometers was broken to a depth, of
between 17 and 20 kilometers.
Sailors Carry Trenches.
Premier and Minister of War Keren
sky, who has returned from the front,
tells how a "battalion of death," con
sisting of S00 Reval sailors, forced
four lines of enemy trenches on the
western front, instead of two, as had
been ordered. They then asked for
reinforcements in order to consolidate
the captured positions. Instead of re
inforcing them, however, the soldiers
fired on the sailors, who, between two
fires, began to retire. Only 15 of
the men escaped unwounded.
The commander of the force died as
the result of 13 wounds and a sub
lieutenant and two midshipmen shot
themselves rather than retreat.
The Maximalist leaders at Helsing
fors, Finland, have been arrested. Their
official newspaper has been confiscated.
BERLIN, -via London, Aug. 1.
Austro-German troops have mad new
advances in the eastern war theater.
The Russian positions on the Horod-
enka-Czernowitz Railway, says the
army headquarters statement today,
were broken through by shock troops.
North of the Dniester the Russians
were forced into the Chotin River
bend.

be no bloodshed, no violence and no
rioting, and that the situation will be
handled in a strictly legal way.
He said that he had no doubt but that
the initials found on the card which
was pinned to Little's body were In
tended to mark other intended victims.
The two "S's" are interpreted to stand,
one for Dan Shovlin, a leader of the
(striking miners, and the other for At
torney Sullivan.
Rewards to lie Offered.
Sullivan tonight is holding a lengthy
conference with Tom Campbell, presi
dent of the metal m.ne workers' -union.
Rewards for the apprehension of
Little's murderers are expected to be
offered by labor organizations of Butte
and appeals for protection addressed
to President Wilson and authorities of
the state.
. The police officials, the Sheriff and
his deputies, and the County Attorney
frankly admit that they are puzzled
and so far have no clew which might
lead to the discovery of the identity
of the men.
Clew Entirely Lacking;.
The proprietress of the rooming-
house from which the victim was taken
was eo paralyzed with fear that she
even failed to notice which direction
the men chose when they deiparted
with Little. She states that she could
not even recognize one of the men if
she were to meet him again.
Members of the Metal Mine Work
ers' Union, in which Little has taken
an active part elnce his arrival in this
city some three weeks ago, held
meeting this afternoon for the avowed
purpose of discussing the situation. 1
Although some of the more radical
members advised immediate action for
vengeance and the spilling of blood,
conservativism prevailed, and the lead
ers advised the men to "keep their
mouths closed."
Bitter Keeling Prevails.
An intensely bitter feeling is preva
lent among the miners, several of whom
have made threats, one declaring that
"we will get every member of the
lynching party and ten men for every
one of us taken."
Although the authorities state that
they have no clew leading to the iden
tity of the members of the lynching
party, members of the Metal Mine
Workers state that thcy know of five
of the men and are on the trail of the
sixth.
Marked Men Seize Leader.
The lynching of Little took place at
3:30 this morning, when masked men
took him from his lodging-house and
hanged him from a railroad trestle in
the outskirts of the city. His body was
identified by Chief of Police Jerry Mur
phy, who cut it down at 8 o'clock this
morning.
Since his arrival in Butte recently
from Globe. Ariz.. Little had made a
number of speeches to strikers in all
of which he had attacked the Govern
ment and urged the men to shut down
the mines of the Butte district. In two
addresses he referred to United States
soldiers as "Uncle Sam's scabs In uni
form," and he was bitter in his denun
ciation of the Government. His rec
ord was under investigation here by
the Federal authorities whose atten
tion had been called to his activities.
On the other hand, the report was
current that Little was in the employ
of a prominent detective agency and
one theory is that he was the victim
of the radical element of whom he ap
peared to be a member.
On Little's body was a card bearing
these words: "First and last warning.
Others take notice. Vigilantes."
Tlie raid on Little's room had been
well planned. - Six masked men drove
up to the front of the hotel
at 3:05. One stood upon the
sidewalk in front of the rooming
house. The others entered the house.
Not a word was spoken nor a command
given. Kverything worked by seeming
prearrangement.
The men even seemed to have se
lected the room in which Little was
supposed to sleep. Without a word
of Instruction to each other they quick
ly broke into room No. 30 on the ground
floor. A flashlight was thrown into
the room. The men seemed surprised
to find the room unoccupied.
Landlady Is Awakened.
Mrs. Nora Byrne, landlady of the
Steele block, awoke when the door to
room No. 30 was broken in. She slept
in an adjoining room at the front of
the building "Where is Frank Little?"
she was asked by the leader.
"He is In room No. 32," answered
Mrs. Byrne.
The men quickly ran down the hall,
tried to open the door to 32 and then
gave it a kick that broke the lock off
the door. They entered the room. Mrs.
Byrne said she believed, that police of
ficers had arrested Little.
She heard the men coming from Lit
tle's room, saw them half lead and
half carry him across the sidewalk
and push him into the waiting motor
car. The six men Jumped into the car
beside the driver and went south cn
Wyoming street.
The body was found hanging: on the
north side of the trestle. The ties on
the trestle are about 14 feet above the
roadway. On the back of his head was
a bloody mark. Late this morning the
coroner had not determined whether
the mark was a gunshot wound or an
abrasion from a. blow or an old sore.
An autopsy will be held this afternoon.
Little had only his underclothes on
when taken from his room in the
Steele block. He is not known to have
made any outcry or demanded any ex
planation. It is presumed that a towel
from his room was tied across his
mouth, one of the towels left there by
the landlady being missing.
Upon the part of the underclothing
covering the man's right thigh was a
pasteboard placard, about six by 10
inches, bearing in red crayon letters
the inscription:
Others take notice. First and last
warning. 3-7-77. L JJ c s a w m. . a
circle was about the letter "L." The
letters at the bottom of the card were
inscribed with a lead pencil.
The figures "3-7-77." are the old
sign of the Vigilantes in Montana. The
custom of the Vigilantes was to send
two warnings to a. marked man, the
third and last warning being written
in red. The warnings were -usually
numbered as "first warning," "second
warning" and "last warning.
Soldiers Called "Scabs In Iniform." - j
Little began to make speeches on the
day of his arrival in Butte, three weeks
ago In all of them he attacked the
Government and in some of them bit
terly criticized the Administration. On
July 19, before a mass meeting of min
ers at the baseball park. Little referred
to the United States soldiers as Uncle
Sam's scabs in uniform. In the same
speech he said:
"If the mines are taken under Fed
eral control, we will make it so damned
hot for the Government that it will not
be able to send any troops to France."
Referring in another address to his
interview recently with Governor
Campbell, of Arizona, Little said that
he used these words:
"Governor. I don't give a damn what
your country is fighting for; I am
fighting for the solidarity of labor."
following the identification of Lit
tle's body local members of the 1.
W. W. telegraphed appeals for aid. A
message was sent to William D. Hay
wood at Chicago and others to I. W.
V. organizations and leaders in the
Southwest on the Pacific Coast. It
was said that a message was received
later from Haywood saying that the
resources of the organization would be
employed to bring the lynchers of Lit
tle to Justice, -
Little had letters in his grip from
Industrial Workers of the World or
ganizers in the country. Most of his
own Industrial Workers of the World
literature was dated at Bisbee, Ariz.,
from which point he had received many
letters since coming to Butte. Letters
from Haywood and other prominent I.
W. W. men were in his suitcase. Tele
grams informing him of the illness and
death of his mother in Perkins, Okla.,
on June 8, also were kept by the man.
A letter from that place is signed
"Your brother, William Little." An
other brother, "Hank," is in Seattle.
One letter of queer meaning instructs
Little "to throw away those crutches.
F. says they're no good to you." Little
was known in Butte -ince his arrival
here as a cripple, explaining that h
was suffering from a broken ankle and
from ruptures induced by "two gunmen
jumping on him in El Paso.
County Attorney Joseph R. Jackson
commenting on the outrage, said today:
"It is a cold-blooded murder and ev
ery effort will be used to apprehend
the men who did it. If they are caught
they will be prosecuted to the full ex
tent of the law."

LITTLE IS KXOWX TS FRESXO
Lynched Leader Organizer of Free
Speech Campaign in 1910.
FRESNO, CaL. Aug. 1. Frank H.
Little, the Industrial Workers of the
World organizer who was lynched at
Butte early this morning, lived in
Fresno until seven years ago, when he
became a National officer of the In
dustrial Workers of the World.
According to the local police. Little
organized and personally led the so
called "free-speech campaign" in Fres
no in 1910, when several hundred In
dustrial Workers of the World mem
bers were arrested for violating a city
ordinance. -
The Jail was filled to overflowing
and each man arrested demanded a
separate jury trial and forced night
sessions of the police court. Little re
fused to work on the municipal rock
pile and was placed on a bread-and-
water diet in a dark cell, the police
state. Little imported agitators from
all parts of the Nation.
The street riots continued over a
period of a year. A thousand armeo
citizens raided the I. W. W. camp just
outside the city, burned the tents and
forced the inmates to leap into a nearby
irrigation canal. Many of the water-
soaked men fled and never returned to
the city, according to the police.
Citizens also dragged the I. W. W.
members from soapboxes on street cor
ners after the speakers had insulted
the American flag. A mob surrounded
the Jail, but Sheriff Chittenden quieted
the crowd in a speech from the jail
doors. During one of the riots inside
the Jail, the fire department was called
out and a stream of water turned on
the prisoners, who were flooded into
submission in their cells. The munici
pal rockpile finally checked the "in
vasion" of agitators.
LONDON, Aug. 1. Both British and
French gained further ground In the
fighting in the Ypres sector today, but
the Germans by heavy counter-attacks
succeeded in capturing the village of
Saint Julien and part of the village of
West Hoek. According to the official
report from British headquarters to
night the number of Germans made
prisoner exceeds 5000.
(By the Associated Pres.
BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE AND
BELGIUM, Aug. 1. Heavy rain, which
continued in an unceasing downpour
since last night, transforming the bat
tle grounds in Flanders into a sea of
mud, had forced a comparative lull in
the operations this morning at most
points within the zone of the entente
allied offensive begun yesterday.
Generally speaking, the situation
early today was unchanged along the
British front. Several German counter-attacks
were repulsed during the
night and the heavy artillery duel con
tinued, but the movement of big guns
has been rendered most difficult by the
rain.
Rain Keeps Airmen Down. .
The German artillery today actively
shelled the trenches which were
wrested from them yesterday in no
man's land about the salient and the
British guns continued to pour a steady
stream of shrapnel and high explo-
Lsives into the positions to which the
enemy had retired.
The air squadrons on both sides were
rendered helpless by the storm to as
sist in the direction of artillery fire.
The section of the defenses on the
Warneton-Gapaard road, which was
taken by the British in the first rusn.
was the scene of heavy fighting dur
ing the night and the Germans suc
ceeded in retaking it. The British,
however, delivered a strong counter at
tack and again drove the enemy out.
after sanguinary fighting.
Just to the north of the Tfpres
Comines Canal the Germans also
launched a counter attack but were
hurled back by the defending troops.
German prisoners continue to ar
rive in large numbers, and while it
has not yet been possible for the mil
itary to make a count, it is known that
they run well into the thousands.
Many of Dead Mere Youths.
The reconquered territory about
Ypres salient has yielded its details
of the awful effect of the British ar
tillery fire. The German bodies lay
thick in many places, and in instances
too numerous to escape comment fully
accoutred soldiers were found turned
away from the direction of the British
attack, indicating that they were re
tiring when struck down. Large num
bers of the dead were mere youths
who looked as though they might re
cently have come from the school room
for they were slight of build and phys
ically unfitted to bear the strain of
war.
Most expressive was the comment on
the bombardment made by a German
officer who was found badly wounded
in a shell hole, where he had crawled
for refuge. Addressing a British of
ficer in excellent English and with a
ouiet smile, he said:
Good mornin: you see you nave
played the devil with our defenses.
Your guns have been doing some good
shooting.
German Artillery Withdraws,
Many German infantrymen fell vic
tims to their own artillery at the out
break of the entente attack, for the
observers had lost their view of the
targets and in a confused frenzied at
tempt to stem the onslaught the Ger
man gunners unwittingly dropped
shells among their own men. Again
stories are heard of German batteries
being withdrawn without the knowl
edge of the Infantry, having the latter
to face attacks without the protection
of their artillery.
BERLIN, via London, Aug. 1. The
fighting in Flanders began in a way
that promised success to the German
arms, says today's army headquarters
statement, and the further battles
which must be expected must be looked
forward to with confidence.
The entente attack, it is declared,
was intended as an annihilating blow
at the German submarines. The Ger
man counter attack, which lasted all
day yesterday, either drove the attack
ing forces out of the fighting zone or
back to the foremost crater field, the
statement adds.
Northeast of Ypres. it is announced,
the crater field captured by the en
tente forces was retained to a greater
depth and Bixchoote could not lie held
by the Germans.

SCHOOL FUND IS GROWING
Interest Account Is $14,000 in Ex
cess of That in 1916.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 1. (Special.)
The largest apportionment of interest
money on the irreducible- school fund
ever made to the counties of Oregon
was today reported by the office of
State Treasurer Kay. The total amount
is $382,012.38, which is $13,000 in excess
of the total for 1916.
The large amount for this year is
accounted for by an increased fund
and a closer collection of the interest.
The census compiled by State School
Superintendent J. A. Churchill, shows
20u,393 of school age, 3463 less than
last year. This is believed to be due
to emigration from the state. The
per capita apportionment of the school
fund is $1.86.

PARIS, Aug. 1. Premier RIbot re
Plied in the Chamber yesterday to the
declaration made Saturday by Dr.
Michaelis, the German Chancellor, that
there was a secret treaty btween
France and Russia, having in view
plans of conquest. Premier Ribot said:
"I wish to reply to the singular
speech which Dr. Michaelis thought fit
to invite the Berlin Journalists to
hear. The German Chancellor publicly
commanded the French government to
declare whether in a secret session
June 1 the French government had
not made known to the Chamber of
Deputies the terms of a secret treaty
made before the Russian revolution
whereby the Emperor bound himself to
support French pretensions to German
territory on the left bank of the
Rhine.
"The Chancellor's version contains
gross inaccuracies and absolute lies,
notably regarding the role he attributes
to the President of the republic in giv
ing an order to sign a treaty unknown
to Premier Briand. The Chamber
knows how things passed. M. Doumer
gue (ex-Premier and Foreign Minister),
after a conversation with the Emperor,
demanded and obtained M. Briand's au
thorization to take note of the Em
peror's promise to support our claim to
Alsace-Lorraine and to leave us free
to seek guarantees against fresh ag
gression, not by annexing territories
on the left bank of the Rhine, but
making an autonomous state of these
territories which would protect us and
also Belgium against invasion.
Dispatches Are Falsified.
"We have never thought to do what
Bismarck did in 1871. We are, there
fore, entitled to deny the allegation
of the Chancellor, who evidently knows
f the letters exchanged February.

as his most illustrious predecessor
falsified the Ems dispatch. Whenever
he Russian government Is willing to
publish these letters we have no objection.
'The Chancellor refrained from
speaking about my declaration March
21, wherein I repudiated in Frances
name any policy of conquest and an
nexation by force. He has willfully
forgotten my language May 22 in the
Chamber, saying we were ready to en
ter into conversation with Russia as
to the object of the war.
'Finally, the Chancellor passed over
n silence the resolution unanimously
voted after the June secret session.
League of Nations Supported.
Here Premier Ribot read from his
speech in the Chamber warning against
those who wished to spread the con
viction that France was seeking con
quest and read the terms of the reso
lution adopted by the Chamber at that
time declaring that peace conditions
must include tho liberation of territo
ries occupied by Germany, the return
of Alsace-Lorraine to France and Just
reparation for damage done in the in
vaded regions.
The resolutions also favored the
creation of a league of nations for the
maintenance of peace.
Who now dare say to the world
that we wish annexation?" continued
Premier Ribot.
PETROGRAD. Aug. 1. Foreign Min
ister Terestchenko denies absolutely
the declarations attributed to him by
Dr. Michaelis, the German Chancellor.
He issued a statement, saying:
'The Russian Foreign Minister drew
up no protests nor maae any special
declarations to the French government
beyond a general declaration by th-
provisional government respecting war
aims, which was generally made known
May 18. Thia declaration, which was
sympathetically received, will be thor
oughly examined by the. inter-allied
conference to be held shortly."
