After Having Occupied
Lodz. tn e Kaiser's
Troops Are Pursuing
the Fleeing Russians
LOSSES OF BOTH
ARMIES HEAVY
Lun Expected Soon on Eastern Battle
Front While the Troops Recuper-
ate From Terrific Strain Both Sides
Are Experiencing

London, Dee. .. 11.40 A. N.-The
center of the German line in Russian
Poland having occupied LODI, it is con-
tinuing TO push on 10 the eastward aft
er the retiring Russians, according 10
official announcement made in Berlin.
Nevertheless the strain on both sides
has been terrific and the losses heavy. so
thar luh probably soon will set in on
this part OF the eastern battle front
while the troops recuperate.
The Russians continue to assert that
their retirement from LodL was a
strstegieal necessity rather than de-
feat, but it is will take future develop
ments to show whether this claim is
correct or not.
Germans in Position to Advance
Twice driven back from Warsaw,
the Germans again are in position to
advance on the capital of Russian Po-
land, and even the British press points
out that it is on the trunk line railroad
between Kalisz and Warsaw. whieh line
is now held by the invaders probably to
q point considerably 10 the east of the
occupied city.
Viewing the hghting in the vicinity
of Lodz in retrospect, it would appear
that Germany had crushing victory
almost within her grasp and lost il by
not being able to unite her forces. while
later the Russians were successful in
gaining dominant position which they
could not hold.
Violent Attack Near Ypres
In the western arena il would ap-
pear still generally true that the Ger
mans are more on the defensive than
the offensive. but the news that they
have made violent attack TO the
south of Ypres indicates that they have
not shandoned the idea of breaking
through to the French coast and it is
said that the pick of the German west.
ern army has been concentrated for this
latest effort.
The fate of General Beyers in South
Africa has not vet been absolutely
cleared up. If he is dead as is believed
it will remove the last of the important
South African rebels. General De Wet
is prisoner, Colonel Maritz fugitive
and most of the commands have been
broken up.

Soon after the accident, following the
fling OF A large number of libel suits by
those who were damaged in person or
property in the accident the Merchants
and Miners Transportation line turned
the steamer over to the United States
district court at Norfolk. and Judge
Waddell ordered her sale. Several weeks
ago the vessel was put up at auction by
the United States marshal and was
knocked down to the president Of the

STAFFORD GETS A SHOCK
FOR ALL HIS TROUBLE
Representative Has Amusing Ex-
perience in Offices Of Local
Trust Company.

Representative Stafford of Milwaukee
has scarcely recovered today from the
small-sized shock he received in the Of
fees of a trust company Thursday, when
he went there as an officer of the estate
of John H. Tobin, deceased. Attorneys
for the estate in Milwaukee had asked
Mr.. Stafford to appear for them at the
opening of a safe deposit box in the
trust companys vaults. The trust com
pany. after considerable correspondence
required that Mr.. Stafford should have a
large and imposing mass of credentials
before he would be recognized as having
a right to open the box.
Consequently, he was given full DOW
ers by the attorneys for the estate, in
the shape of a power of attorney, a
certificate from the First National
Bank of Berlin. Wis; receipt issued
by the trust company to John H. Tobin
certified copies of letters of admins
tration. two keys and a letter of in
structions.
There was a procession of disni-
taries to the lock box said Mr. Stat
ford today, "and the solemnity of the
occasion overwhelmed me- l felt as
if l was about to unearth Capt Kidd
treasure, and the credentials alone
were enough to lend an air of deep re-
specta bility. However. when we opened
the box-it was empty"

JURY UNABLE TO DECIDE.
Chauffeur Responsible for Eli Beach
Death Not identified.

An inquest was held by Coroner hewitt
yesterday afternoon in the case Of Ell
Beach. sixty-seven years old, who was
knocked down and injured by an auto
mobile near his home in Twinfng City
two weeks ago, and who subsequently
died. 1t was in evidence that Beach was
strolling along the road and that he was
struck by a big touring car. After lying
on the road for more than two hours
he was picked up and taken home.
Witnesses stated that John Lanham
operating a car belonging to Brig Gen.
George P. Scriven. was stopped on the
road more than two hours after the
accident happened. and questioned by the
police, but that he stated he did not
know whose car had injured Beach.
It was also stated that Lanham was
accompanied by two women and a male
companion; that he disappeared from the
city the next morning and that Gen.
scriven's car was later found in olean,
n. Y.
The Jury could not determine whose
automobile struck Beach.
