VICTORY FROM DEFEAT.
Russian March on Berlin Appears to
 Have Been Made Impossible.

London, Dec. S.-The first German invasion of Poland was made from the south by AustriaHungarian forces in August. The Russians checked this movement in September.
 Later the Austrians concentrated around Cracow and made a second advance in concert with German forward movement from Breslau, Posen and Thorn. This advance al- most reached Warsaw, but the Rus sians repulsed it, not only driving back the Germans to their own bor- ders, but throwing Cossack advance patrols into Silesia.
 This feat was acclaimed by the Russians at the time as the forerun- ner to a march on Berlin, but the Germans with achievements beat back the invaders and swept on to their present position, notwithstand- ing the fact that at one time they were surrounded and threatened with disastrous defeat.

 PROSPERITY
HAYS AND THE CHARITY BOARD.

Gov George w. Hays notified the board of charities in control of ths State Hospital for the Insane that un- less it should satisfactorily explain the charges made against some of it's members by Dr. Greene, former SUD- erintendent their resignations would Ie demanded The board, in session Monday, appointed a committee to notify the governor that efforts would be made to have a reply to Dr. Greene and defense of their own course ready for submission Thurs day or Friday. This committee in- formed the governor there is another side to the controversy.
 Dr. Greene, forced to resign be- cause of opposition on the part of Secretary Hart of the board and members he controlled, declared the opposition developed when he pro- tested against the extravagant waste of public funds, and the use of funds for current expenses to pay for the heating plant for which the legisla- ture appropriated $75,O0O. Becaus, of the great work Dr. Greene has ac complished in Arkansas and else where, and because he achieved . reputation for efficiency in the ad ministration of the, hospital there are thousands who feel confident that there are grounds for Dr. Greene :, charges. The board says there's another side. We'll. let the peopla have this other side. However, it will be difficult for the board to ex- plain about that heating plant. From pr. Greene's version it appears that the manner of prosecuting this work was devised more for the purpose O. taking care of relatives of the sec- retary than of providing a good heat ing plant for the unfortunates in the asylum.
 Gen. Thomas Green of Pine Bluff appointed a member of the board several months ago, is not involved in the controversy except that he stands with the governor, and endeav- ored to retain for the state the sery. ices of Dr. Greene.
