London, April 20—At last it looks
as though Kitchener’s new army is
ready for business and has started
its forward movement with the im
mediate object in view of driving the
Germans out of Belgium. Hill No, 6
east of Ypres as captured early this
morning and the artillery of the Brit
ish continues to pound the German
trenches. It looks as though further
advances are planned immediately.
The British losses were very heavy
jin the advance, in spite of the ter
irific artillery bombardment to which
the German line was first subjected.
The British are making use of a new
heavy field gun which is more than a
match for the German artillery, and
its execution was terrific. The Ger
mans, however; have so far perfected
their trenches that the men are a
Inw.st entirely covered, so that
schrapnel is of little effect. The re
sults is direct shooting has to be re
sorted to first to smash down the
trench covering, after which the
sehrapnel is available. It is sup
pissed that the Canadian and other
Colonial contingents took part in the
advance.

FROM TUESDAY’S DAILY
WILL TAKE IT INTO THE COURTS
Jno. R. Beogle. manager for tilt
I'are Food Fisli company, returned
from the Capital on this morning's
Spokane. He reports that apparently
there is little probability that any of
the cash now in the Territorial treas
ury will bo ovailable for road build
ing this year. This is owing to the
decision on the part of the represen
tatives of the First Division to take
the matter of the division of tho
Forest Reserve money into the courts.
This is owing to the fact that tho
[legislature has decided to take tlu
cash from the Forest Reserves in the
First and Third Divisions and ex
pend half of same in the Second and
Fourth. This the members of the
First claim is illegal, and tho courts

Berlin, April 21—Turkey is exer
cising a stricter censorship on all
news leaving that country, especially
from Constantinople, and it is believed
here that land operations are being
pressed by the Allied forces. Early
in the week it is known that a mixed
force of British and French were
landed near Enos, in European Tur
ney, on the north shore of the Gulf of
Saros, off the Aegean Sea. This has
been variously estimated as aggre
gating from twenty to fifty thousand
men, probably the former. Enos is
about 125 miles from Constantinople,
but the small force available, unless
Bulgaria and the other Balkan states
tako part in the attack, would be
helpless to attack the Turkish capital
manned by ten times as many troops.
The moral effect of the presence of
these troops on the Balkan States is
bound to be considerable, and it is
feared that the latter may decide that
now is tlio moment to strike.

A Fairbanks exchange states that it
has receivod a request for informa
tion concerning the possibility of an
outside concern being able to pur
chase rabbit skins in Alaska. It is
bolieved tho inquiry comes from somo
(dealer who has found a use for cheap
skins in the manufacture of blankets.
As rabbit skins are only worth three
and one-half cents each, it is feared
that with wages at $1 per hour, the
minors would not find rabbit skin
ning very profitable.
