Attorney Day insisted that the Ore gon commission has no more control over the railroads now in government La'ilBs than it has over any property owned by tho government, "The act of the government in tak ing over the railroads is nothing more than a leaso, oven if it was forced," declared Attorney Day.

You have regulated the lessee, tho Southern Pacific. 'Now tho Southern Pacific has a sub lessee, to-wit, the United States gov ernment which is not subject to your regulation.

According to the latest dispatches re ceived here the allied troops, in addi tion to making important gains on the sixty mile front between the Adriatic and' the Dcvoli river are threatening the Bulgarian right wing, in tho vicinity of Monastir, 115 miles from the sea. Tho main military objectives of the aiiics evidently is the old Koman road connecting Monastir with the sea at Durazzo, possession of which would per mit free movement of troops and sup Mies directly from tho Adriatic into southern Serbia and would seriously threaten the enemy's hold on a great portion of tho occupied areas of that country. Starting at the Vojutza river, the It alians, with the aid of Britisa mon itors hav3 advanced to the Semeni river a maximum gain of fifteen miles. The nearest portion of the Old Roman high way lies just the same distance nortn ward alonj the Skumba river, west of ra uasan. But tho offensive also has far reach ing political aspects. Alneauy civil con siderable forces of Albanians under Essad Pasha, are fighting with tho al lies and are rendoring valuable assist ance. Any considerable advance by the French in the Monastir region will have its effect on Bulgaria, which is reported to be low in morale, both military and economic.

We handle a shoe made by the unlocked process, a shoe that will fit and give better srvice than any shoe made. The Unlocked Process Shoes are made on lasts which conform to every hump and hollow of the foot. In fact the bottom of the last is an exact duplicate of the bottom of the human foot, which produces on the insole, those slight but important irregularities of surface necessary to ' give the foot evenly distributed contact and support at every point where pressure comes. This insures perfect body weight balance. . Doctors, Lawyers, Bankers or Business Men should wear these shoes if they want real shoe comfort.
