London, Nov. 29.--While depreciating
the exaggerated reports of Russian
successes in the battle in northern Po-
land, where the German emperor has

to offer his advice and to encourage his
troops, the latest available official re-
ports from Russian headquarters state
that the advantage in the fighting still
lies with the Russian army. 1t is also
officially said that enormous losses
have been inflicted on the Germans, but
no mention is made of the character of
the German division which has been so
freely claimed by the Petrograd corre-
spondents of London and Paris papers.
Opposed to this is the German official
report which says that the Russian at

MAKE A
new PLEA
ENE NW ~

New York, Nov. 30.--William Rookie
feller, the Standard Oil millionaire, be-
sought the permission of the federal
court to change his plea to the indict-
ment charging him and twenty other
former directors of the New Haver
Railroad Co. with criminal violation or
the antitrust low.
Rockefeller filed plea in abatement
last Monday. He was joined in his
application for such permission by
Robert W. Taft, Charles Brooker, Will
liam Skinner. and James S. Elton.
These defendants also filed pleas ia
abatement with Rockefeller last Nom
day.
In their application to Judge ses-
sions, the defendants did not indicate
the nature of the plea they had in
mind, but simply asserted their desire
to file substitute plea.
Under the plea in abatement Rocke-
felIer and the others sought to have
the indictments dismissed on the
ground that they were defective. The
alleged defect consisted of the fact
that one of the court officials connect
ed with the drafting of the Indictment
was resident of New Jersey, instead
of New York.

Bismarck, N. d., Nov. 30.-When the
expense Of getting out the publicity
pamphlet at the last primary election
was compared with the receipts from
the candidates it was discovered that
there was deficit of $3,541.99. The
printing postage and miscellaneous ex-
pense was $7,157.09 and the receipts
from all sources was only $3,615.1O.
In his annual report Secretary OF
State Thomas Hall recommends some
changes if the idea of a publicity
pamphlet is to be continued in future
years. One suggest made is that there
should be Encouragement of rates.
according to the salary paid the posi-
tion to which the candidate aspires.
For instance, at the present time a
candidate for the supreme bench whose
salary is $4,000 year for term of
six years pays only the same amount
500 per page, as do several OF the
state officers whose salary is only SD
900 per year for period of two years
and Mr.. Hall thinks that If these mat
ters were taken care of in a more
equal manner there would be more
candidates using the publication and
that il would more nearly pay for
itself. In one part of his report Afr.
! Hall says: The 1914 pamphlet was
