They Are Now Awaiting Their

mot ANXIOUS TO TAKE CITY
Won Hindenberg's Plan Ii to
Keep Russians Busy.
Expects in This Way to Wear
Out Cars Army.

New York, Nov. 25.-General Won
Hindenberg IL experiencing much dif-
ficulty in rearranging his battle line.
His road toward Warsaw il blocked
along the northern and southern rail-
way lines and his flanks are threaten
ed by superior numbers. Neverthe-
less, the Petrograd belief that the Ger
mans are again retreating to their own
frontier is without any substantiattng
evidence. There are indications that
reinforcements are being hurried to
Won Hindenberg and until these ar
rive 1t is probable the Germans Will
not renew their drive. At present.
they are on the defensive and await
ing their turn to strike.
The conditions confronting Won
Hindenberg are SO unfavOrable for
success, theoretically. that 1t seems az
if it were q useless waste OF human
life to undertake the capture OF War
saw. The basic objective of the Ger
mans, however, is not Warsaw. In
reality, Won Hindenberg IL not actu-
ated by motives of offense strategy at
all but by defensive conditions. His
dominationg purpose is to prevent the
Slavs invading eastern Germany. 1t
would be impossible for the Germans
permanently to occupy Warsaw, be-
cause the Russians too greatly out
number them. Indeed, the Germans
probably would not quarter large
force in Warsaw even If they cap
tured 1t for fear 1t would become q
second Sedan. Nevertheless, WarsaW
served as a sort of q target providing
something definite at which the Ger
| mans can aim.
Object of the Germans.
In reality, however, Won Hinden-
berg's primary objective Is not to oc-
cupy the Polish capital, but to keep
the Russian army moving back and
forth as far from the German from
tier as he can.
The Germans believe that, despite
the enormous number Of Slavs avail
able for military service. exhaustion
will more quickly overtake the Rus
sian army than any other in Europe.
1t is considered certain in Germany
that the Russian output of arms and
ammunition Is running far behind the
demand and that the spirit Of officers
and men can be worn down by con-
tinual marrying or drives through Po-
land, 90

Bad Check Writer Is Reported Oper--
: ating i'm, Topeka.

w. S. Fulton, contractor, discover
ed today that several checks with his
name forged to them had been cashed
by Topeka business men. One check
for $3.50 was cashed by Ralph Peter
son of the Gift Shop on West Eighth
street. A colored- man who repre-
scented that he worked for Fulton and
received the check in payment for
labor, made a purchase at the store
amounting to $3.50, gave the check in
payment and received the difference
in cash. Another check was discover

local clearing house..
The checks were written on the regu-
lar blank forms of the Topeka State
bank. Fulton has his own form of
check with his name and business
printed in one corner. The man pre-
senting the check at the gift store
signed his name as E. Austin, and

While the War Lasts Says Adviser to
British Treasury.

New York, Nov. 25.-Great pros
perity for time awaits the United
States in the opinion of Sir George
Paish, adviser to the British treasury,
who sailed today for Liverpool, aboard
the steamship Adriatic. Sir George
had been in this country for several
weeks at the invitation of President
Wilson, comforting with bankers and
treasury officials, to clarity the finan-
cial problems that have arisen be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, since the beginning of the
European war;
During the war the United States
will have great prosperity Sir George
asserted. Your misfOrtunes will
come later. No misfortune that falls
upon a great number of people can
benefit any other people for any great
length of time. The world is now
consuming it's seed corn, and this
means nothing but loss. The suffering
will last decade, possibly a genera

slap of the worst kind at the motorists

appointing of one-tenths of the auto
mobile owners to watch the other
nine-tenths is an outrage. These one
hundred men will be nothing more
nor less than spoilers. There will be
