LONDON, July 26.—Haig’s report
continues to report successful ad
vances on the line south of Ypres
and on the entire Flanders front
to the sea where the Germans have
been puched back distances varying
from one to five thousand yards
with the Entente forces occupying
all the reconquered trenches. There
is more gratification in this report
because of the fact that gains of such
a substantial nature were all made
after the Germans began a heavy
drive in this sector when they had
completed immense arrangements
with men and artillery fire for that
purpose.
It is taker to indicate that the
Germans can advance no more in
any section while they may not start
any movement' without loss of
ground.
AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP,
France, July 26.—American and
French soldiers are training to
gether here. This is expected to
hasten the development of the Am
erican troops and have them ready
the sooner for active participation
in the actual fighting on the west
front. The men are anxious to get
into action.
PARIS, July 26.—All eyes are now
wratching the counters which Haig is
delivering at the German line fol
lowing the collapse of the great Ger
man attack. The Germans have
immense concentrations in the
Flanders sector and their retirement
today was unexpected in official
quarters here.

This afternoon the employees of

ever been compelled to face.
The lumber interests are going

LOCAL ITEMS.
A Marslialite points out that the
clean up mentioned as having been
made on Willow creek was made on
No. 2 above by Nelson and Nell
mayer. Another outfit that is doing
big work there was M’Kenzie and
Darling on Discovery and the lower
half of one above. They were using
a three yard Bagley scraper and had
22 men employed. The scraper is
a favorite from the Iditarod and it
is remarkable that although tried
on many creeks in this section with
varying success, it never proved po
pular with operators who preferred
almost any other means to the steam
scraper.

trict Attorney Fickert declared that

they would try Mrs. Mooney on any
other indictments, against her, but an

endeavor to secure a woman jury.
The defense hints that Fickert has
not framed it up yet what to do.
He said that they would probably
try Israel Weinberg immediately.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.—The
defense attorneys are now applying
for the release of Mrs. Rena Mooney
under bond. It is not believed that
the state will attempt to try her
under the remaining indictments.
The matter is not yet decided.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.—Mrs.
Mooney is the recipient of telegrams
and cables of congratulation from
labor organizations all over tho
world at her acquittal in spite of tho
sinister capitalist frame-up against
her. The -ables breathe enthusiasm
for the labor movement with which
her husband has been so closely
identified.
The verdict unquestionably is im
mensely popular in all wrokir.g class
circles where the innocence ol all
tho accused persons, Including Bill
ings and Tom Mooney is not doubted
for a second. It is held that alt

their labor union activities and the
ting that is backing the public pro

their mind to prove this to be the
case. All the bitter antagonists of
organized labor have been heart and
soul working for the conviction of
the indicted men and woman.
