NO HOPE VICTORY
THIS YEAR CERTAIN
WASHINGTON, D. C., June S.—
The United Press association today
was told by a “High Authority’’
that there was in official circles no
hope at all for an Allied victory
this year.
The American plans are all now
based upon the calculation of a
three years war. The British and
the French had reached their max
imum man power and as far as this
was concerned were now on the
down grade. I
Russia was absolutely out o£
the conflict as an offensive
power and was not unlikely
to make a separate peace, un
less something unforeseen arose to
throw it back in the ranks as a
fighting unit of the Entente Alli
ance. Success was therefore
squarely up to the United States
and depended upon this country’s
ability to furnish the rest of tha
Allies with food during the war, or
at least must make up the differ
enee between what the Alies pro
duced themselves and what they
needed for their consumption. This
would not be a heavy drain but
would increase from • year to year
until the war w^as over.
Without mincing matters, the is
sue was now up to America and it
depended upon the United States as
to whether German militarism
would or would not dominate the
world.
JURY MADE UP
IN MDONEY TRIAL
SAN FRANCISCO, June 8.—This
evening just before Court adjourned
the jury in the case of Rena Mooney
was completed when the thirteenth
juror was accepted.
Before the twelfth juror was ac
cepted, the prosecution had ex
hausted all its peremptories, the
defense still having one unused
when the thirteenth emergency
juror qualified.
The prosecution of late has been
tesling rigidly every juror and espe
cially emphasis was ljid upon the
knowledge of the Oxrnan charges.
The court adjourned the trial un
til Monday when examination of
witnesses will begin.
The completion of the jury in
this remarkable trial took longer
than in any case in the history of
San Francisco, even longer than
the trial of the higher ’ups in the
graft prosecutions, which by the way
were finally dismissed following the
election of the present prosecutor,
after many disagreements in some,
and no trial at all in others.
The interest in the Mooney trial
has never flagged for one instant
and it will begin Monday before a
crowded court room. Representa
tives from every walk in life are
present every day, and show great
concern over the outcome.

HAIG REPORTS BIG
GAINS WEST FRONT
..LONDON, June 8.—Haig’s after
noon report contains details of
many additional successes, due
mainly to the exploding of many
mines on the Belgian front which
the Allies had been months tire
lessly boring.
The entire German lines south
and east of Ypres into their French
defenses from Belgium were taken
without a break held by the Ger
mans after a series of mines had
been exploded and one thousand
Germans taken prisoners.
The fighting was preceded by
the most appaling explosions in
modern war when the work of the
sappers for almost twelve months
of tireless mining was touched oil
in every direction.
The mines created terror in the
trenches, the soldiers who sur
rendered believing that the earth
was about to engulf them, with
tremendous craters marking wher«
the elaborate defenses of the Ger
mans had stood.
The advance ordered after these
earthworks had been blown up was
the greatest single day advance in
the drive. and threw forward the
British lines in some places as deep
as four miles.
The great number of prisoners
taken it is admitted is due to the
demoralisation followed the detona
tion of the mines.
The fighting is continuing into the
evening with the German counters
steadily repulsed.
Now is the time to Subscribe.
AUSTRIANS TRY TO
TALK OVER PEACE
PETROGRAD, June 8.—Two Aus
trian generals and ten other offi
cers escorted by Russian soldiers at
their own request entered Russian
soil and urged a conference with
the government to promote peace
between the nations.
The Austrian Generals reached
Kicheneff when their presence was
officially announced. The govern
ment promptly ordered their arrest
and directed that the Austrian of
ficers who came across the lines on
their own responsibility and with a
view of corrupting the Russian sol
diers, be brought direct to Petro
grad.
PETROGRAD, June S.—The order
to bring the Austrian generals and
their staff, twelve in all, to the ca
pital, sent out by the Provisional
Government to Kieheneff today was
promptly obeyed and they are being
taken to Petrograd by special train.
They carry no arms. They were
compelled to deliver up their swords
to the officers at Kieheneff. The
Austrians are greatly astonished at
their treatment, and claim that they
are protected by the truce flags.
LONDON, June 8.—The uncer
tainty of the situation is being:
taken advntage of by the Teuton
powers to bring about peace in
every possible way. It is reported
that it was even tentatively sub
mitted that every section of Russian
soil might be remitted if peace was
agreed to.

The probability is that for the
Goodwin mine in the Lost River
country a capitalist interested in
these propositions will arrive on
one of the first or second boats. It
is not quite certain that he may ar
rive on the first fleet, but more
likely he will come on the second.
Goodwin ' has now a nice batch ol
the rock ready for shipment of this
nice looking silver-lead ore which
assays quite handsomely at present
prices for these metals.
M. D. Kennelly, the aerial gymnast
of the Coast Guard station shinned

Board of Trade and there placed
connections with the down town
telegraph office which has also been
equipped v ith radio receiving appa

make Germany a democracy and a
republic.
The movement is meeting with
very great success in this country
and so fast has it grown in* other
lands that now lodges of the order
have been established in many Mex

What steps the members will take
to realize their plans are not an
nounced. but the members claim
that they are practicable and will
prove themselves before much time
longer expires.

the boats successfully in this man

WASHINGTON, D. C., June S.—
Since the reports of the May riot

German censors have simply put
