ADVANCE CAREFULLY PLANNED
London, June Z. From the Tripet
river southward to the Roumanian
frontier the Russians, according to
Petrograd, are continuing to develop
successes against the German and
Austrian!. In the fights along this
front of some 250 miles the Russians
already have made prisoners of 480
officers and more than 25,000 men
and captured twenty-seven guns and
more than fifty machine guns.
In this offensive, which is declared
to be a carefully co-ordinated move
ment, the Russians are said to have a
plentiful supply of ammunition and

British Journals
Praise Kitchener
As National Hero
Lonnon, June 7. ine morning
newspapers today will give up their
editorial space to black bordered
eulogies of Kitchener. Chief interest
perhaps attaches to the tributes of the
papers of Lord Northcmic, which
after hailing Karl Kitchener in the
early days of the war as the only man
for the war office, turned on him a
year ago with hitter denunciations as
being an over-rated man who had had
no experience except in little Asiatic
border campaigns. The Times and
the Daily Mail were publicly burned in
the Stock exchange after their first
attacks on Earl- Kitchener, and by
resolution were barred from many
public reading rooms.
, Today, however, both these newsoa
pers lay aside the old animus and
sound no discordant note in the uni
versal chorus of editorial praise of
the fallen leader.

tion of its case at the court-martial of
Captain Bowen-Colthurst, charged
with the shooting of F. Shechy Skeff
irgton, editor of the Irish Citizen;
Thomas Dickson and Fred Mclntyre,
durinn the recent Irish rebellion. The
defendant is accused of murder.
The prosecuting officer said the de
fendant took the three men from the
guard room with the remark, "1 am
going to shoot thrtn, as I think it the
right thing to do."
The guard room orderly made a
report regarding this to the adjutant
general, who sent a message to Cap
tain Bowen-Colthurst, but it is not
known whether it reached him. At all
events declared the prosecutor, the
men were taken to the yard and shot
by a firing party of seven men.
Officers testified thaf they had been
on duty seventy-two hours at this
Kitchener Lauded
Highly by the King;
Army Will Mourn
London, June 7. By the king's
command the following order has
been issued to the army:
"The king has learned with pro
found regret of the dioastcr whereby
the secretary of state for war has lost
his life while proceeding on a special
mission to the emperor of Hussia.
"Field Marshal Lord Kitchener
gave forty-eight years of distinguished
service to the state, and it is largely
due to his genius and unwearying en
ergy that the country iias been able
to create and place in the field the
armies which today are upholding the
traditional glories of our empire. Lord
Kiithener will be mourned by the
army as a great soldier, who, under
conditions of unexampled difficulty
rendered supreme and devoted ser
vice both to the army and to the
state.
"His majesty, the kind, commands
that the officers of the army shall
wear mourning with -their uniforms
for the period of one week. Officers
are to wear crepe on the left arm of
uniform and of great-coats."

was extremely excited and did
not act in his usual manner. One of
ficer said that after the shooting he
noted a movement in Skeffington's
body and told the captain of it, the
latter then ordering that the squad
shoot again. Another volley was
fired into the body.
It was testified that Captain
Bowen-Colthurst told Major Rox
burgh, who was in command of the
portobello barracks, that he had shot
the men on his own responsibility and
probably would hani, or it.
(ieneral Bird, the witness for the
defense, related bow Captain Bowrn
Colthurst had disobeyed orders dur
ing the Mons retreat and was sus

was ordered to retire, but Bowen
Colthurst gave the command to ad

his incapacity.
Medical testimony was then taken
for the purpose of indicating the un

mind.

Are You Hesitating?
1 wmmmmmmmm wammmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmma
TIME Is a PIRATE always at your elbow, threatening, bullying, forcing you to a decision.
Most people, not very strong of will, let things go. They can't decide. They hesitate and
lose out. ,
They never foresee, or grasp opportunities. Take two instances.
. After tha lone depression which ended about '06, curio a tremendous- wive of industrial pros
perity to the United States. Anybody with half an eye could see that real estate would have a
tremendous rise aa well. It did it doubled and tripled in value. But there were not very many
people who bought land for thla bio: rise. Now if you want to buy a farm, you have to pay two or
three timea as much for it ai you did ten or fifteen years ago.
You pay dear because you hesitated.
The great war in Europe ia another example. Anybody could aee that it would brina; tremendous
scarcity in metals, chemicals, dyes and other things, and force high prices. It has. But very fsw people
bought iron or copper, or quinine or dye-stuffs, for the inevitable rise. m
Now they pay dear. .
These are big instances. Every day brings lesser ones. There Is one in front of you now.
You can now buy tho "Handy Volume" Issue of the new Encyclopaedia Britannlca at one-third the price of
the Cambridge University issue of the same work. This phenomenally low price was possible only by making
contracts for an enormous printing, when prices were very low. Now prices for paper and printing and bina
ing have risen rapidly, unexpectedly, and we cannot obtain" from the publishers any more sets at present prices.
After June 17th you will have to pay from 111 to 119 mors per set for identically the same work. Ill mora
ror tne cheaper to sin more Tor the
more expensive bindings. We be
lieve you will never bp able to buy
it as cheaply as you can now.
Which are you going to do
decide, or wait and pay more ?
