Cleanup and paint-up days will come
IA the period beginning May , and
ending May 9. A press association

try newspapers is sending out ilIustrat

that they show the filthy conditions in
the big cities. There would be some
point to the pictures in the way they
are being used if they would show
conditions around village homes and
farmhouses

FIGHTING CONTINUES IN THE
GREAT BATTLE FOR POLAND
Germans Claim They are Per-
suing Russians South and
Southeast Of Lodz,

London, December 8 The
great battle for possession OF
Poland continues. The front ex-
tends along three hundred miles
and victory over a part of 1t, at
least. appears to have fallen to
the Germans, while the Russians
are pressing on Cracow in the
south.
That Lodz is in possession of
the Germans seems undoubted
and Russian official report just
issued apparently is preparing
the public for the news by re-
ferring to the difficulty of de.
Tending the city. which gives tc
the Russian front an abnormal
contour, and forecasts a reform.
! ing OF the line.
Details of these mighty battles
yet have to be written. The gen

fearful slaughter and intense
suffering from the cold com
prises about the total of the in

pursuing the Russians south ant
