CHARLES BAXTER, Proprietor GENERAL SAKHAROFF ITALIANS CAPTURE MORE POSITIONS Rome.—Italian troops have scored further victories south of Goritz, crossing the Vallone and carrying the western slopes of Monte Nadlogem, it was officially announced. Italian de tachments have occupied Oppachia- sella. The Austrian stronghold, Goritz, has become an advanced base for the Ital ian forces to strike at Trieste, the principal commercial port of the dual empire. The Italian advance guard Is now within 20 miles of Trieste, although doubtless the intervening hills have been carefully entrenched so that pro longed resistance may be expected. On the Carso plateau and to the east of Gorizia along the Iaonzo front, the Austrians have suffered further reverses at the hands of the Italians. BRITISH MAKE NEW GAINS Germans Seriously Menaced on Both of Their Wings. a London. — Indications that new general attack by the british toward Bapaume Is near came in the news that they had gained 300 or 400 yards on a front of nearly a mile northwest of Pozieres and that heavy fighting was going on all along the line. The British gains take them nearer to both Martinpulch and Courcelette. key positions on the Bapaume road. The allies now hold a strong grip on the German third-line trenches, the point of the wedge driven in a week ago having been broadened and deep ened. The greater part of Maurepag is now in French hands, while to the south they are in the outskirts of Clery. The Germans are now men aced on both wings, trying to hold Clery and Combles, both of which are pillars of their lines.

London.—Reaping the fruits ot the capture of Stanislau, Russia’s invad ing armies in Galicia have begun a whirlwind drive on the whole 150- mile front from the Brody region in the northeastern edge of the Austrian crown land, down to the Carpathian foo'.hills. Using Brody as a base and pivotal point, the Muscovite army chain is swiftly rolling up the Teuton forces northward in the direction of Lemberg, the Galician capital, simul taneously widening the wedge they have driven by taking Stanislau be tween the Austrian leader s main force and his extreme right wing. The Austrians’ line along the Stripa, which they have held since early in September, has crumpled and Gener al von Bothmer is in full retreat along the whole front, according to latest information received by the Russian general staff. The Russians have successfully ne gotiated the last natural obstacle be tween them and Halicz, namely, the Bystritza river, which empties into the Dniester eight miles to the south. | The capture of Nadvorna strength ens the left wing of General Letchit- zky, and completes the isolation of the Austrian army in southern Gali cia.

The greatest Italian victory of the war was the capture of Goritz, an Aus trian city of more than 25,000 inhabi tants, along with 10,001» soldiers. Northwest of Pozieres, north of the Somme, the British made an advance of 300 to 400 yards over a front of nearly a mile against the Germans. By a sudden attack on the Deiran front, 28 miles north of Saloniki, the French troops have captured the rail way station at Doiran, evacuated by the allies when they retreated from Serbia last fall. A sustained attack over a front of three and three-quarter miles by the French against the third German line north of the Somme resulted in the capture of all the trenches to a depth of from a third to two-thirds of a mile. The line of the victorious French ad vance extends from llardecourt to the Somme river at Buscourt. A series of surprising successes by the armies of Generals Sakharoff and Letchitzky were announced by the Russians. The most important of the successes were the capture of the im portant railway junction town of Stan islaus, the definite occupation of Mon- asterzyska and the capture of impor tant positions of the Zlota I.ipa line. The whole line of the River Stripa in Galicia was seized by the Russians. The army of General von Bothmer, after holding its strongly fortified po sition ever since last winter, was com piled by the powerful pressure of the Russians north and south to fall back hastily toward the west. The Imme diate result of the fall of the Stripa line and the retirement of Von Both- mer's forces is to put the Russians in a far better position to strike at Lem berg.

This is an exception ally stable corps ot teachers, only four cf them being new to the community and many of them having been con nected with the Coquille schools for a number of years. Nine of the four teen spent a part of the summer in advanced study at some institution of higher learning. Probably no other school in the state had so large a per centage of its teachers attending sum mer schools. The new high school tuition law v hich was passed by the last state legislature resulted in bringing twen ty-six students from the rural dis tricts into the Coquille high school. As Coquille fs located in the most tnickly populated section of the coun ty, it is probable that this number will be considerably increased within the next year or two. Including these outside students, the enrollment in the high school for tha past year was ninety-nine. Coquille’s total of four hundred fifty pupils are housed in two buildings, the Central School which is owned by the district, and the Academy build ing, which the district has rented for several years. The community’s greatest need at the present time is a modern school building to take the place of this rented structure. For the past two years the district has been involved in litigation over the jurchase of a site for another build ing. When the suit now pending is Rettled, the people of the community will undoubtedly take the one remain ing Step to make the Coquille schools equal to the best by providing a mod ern building for the pupils now housed in the antiquated Academy.
