BLOODY FIGHTING ON VIsTULA

LONDON, Dec15-This mornings dispatches from the eastern front indicate that tremendous and bloody struggles are raging along the Mawa front north of the Vstua The struggle seems to be going in favor of the Russians but neither side claims decisive victory It IS apparently the intention of the Germans to make an ad vance from this northern point Warsaw while thelr army west of that city tries also to advance and take Warsaw on two sides Should they win at Mawa they can advance Warsaw without being compelled to force the passage of the Vistua To the west of Warsaw the final engagements remain to be fought between LOdz and the Vstua where the Germans have apparently concentrated their chief strength at the point to which they forced the Russians before being halted by the powerful defensive action of the Russian guard The invaders have brought up immense forces to reinforce their strength at that point and both sides evidently grdng their Joins for what may be of the most decisive struggles in history The taking of Warsaw would certainly mean that the Germans could detach large forces to their e ertons in France and Flanders and London is fevershy anxious to hear that the allies in the west have taken the offensive while the Germans have their hands full in Pol and Indeed this regarded the great chance for the assault on the Germans in the west

WILLARD GOES TO DUST
 HUBBARD FROM SEAT.
Declares At Juneau That Hubbard Is Not An Alaskan And Is Ineligible.

Senator B. r. Willard went out on the last trip of the Mariposa and stated at Juneau to the Daily Empire that he will conduct the contest against the seating of Judge Hubbard in the Alaska senate. Speaking of the matter to the paper mentioned Sena- tor Willard said that Hubbard did not live in Alaska and was ineligible to sit in the legislature. "The law is very plain and specific in the natter said the senator "and 1 for one shall try my best to have it observed"
 Judging by what Senator Willard said at Juneau it may be taken for granted that he will probably ask the senate to refuse to seat Hubbard and it is interesting to speculate on what the result will be- Of the four hold over senators Willard and Bruner will undoubtedly be against Hubbard and Sutherland will be on his side because both are Wickersham men. The at titude af Tanner is problematical so far as we know. Sulzer will un- doubtedly vote against Hubbard if the case is proven because the unseating of Hubbard would mean the seating of Price the democrat and there would be no political consideration that could prejudice. Aldrich calls himself a democrat but is careful to look to the so-called independent party for votes. Gaustad of Fairbanks will probably be for Hubbrd, that is if the question is not taken on it's merits but as a party question. Since the above was written it has been learned that Aldrich and Tanner are almost sure to oppose Hubbard.

ONE IN TEN IN
 CHICAGO BROKE
TENTH PART OF CITY'S POPU- LAYTON RECEIVING AID
 FROM CHARITY.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-The extraor- dinary statement that one person in every ten in the population of Chicago is receiving aid from the public chari- ties at the present time was made to- day by the president of the board of county commissioners. This condition is due to some extent to the frightful cold wave which has just come to this part of the country but the dullness of the times, due to the European war, is probably the chief cause of the poverty stricken condition in which the people found themselves. In some cases the condition of the people is most deplorable and whole families are on the verge of starvation.

ALMY OBJECTS TO
 FINING FALLEN WOMEN
Makes Statement Showing Why He
 Will Refuse to do SO.

City Magistrate Carl Amy has taken the stand that it is wholly i'm proper for the city of Seward to practically license unfortunate women by continuing the practice of fning them monthly. Magistrate Amy said to a representative of the Gateway" to-day, "I do not believe that Seward should continue to be a partner in any such business Almost all cities have long ago abandoned the practice of fning unfortunate women while wink ing at their continuing their mode of 1 life. It is unfortunately true that all cities have questionable resorts. If the citizens of Seward want to make the attempt to drive out the few un- fortunate women who are here, will most certainly do whatever it may be incumbent on me to do. But so long as 1 remain City Magistrate of Seward I must refuse to fine women for lead ing an immoral life If any such women are guilty of any breach of the peace or of any other ofTense except that of being in the class called fallen women, I shall fine them.
 "I have no desire to enter into any discussion concerning the social evil; most people of mature judgment have opinions on the subject. It is difficult, if not impossible, to expel such women from a community but nothing can excuse taking their money while still allowing their so-called business to continue"

CARRANzA NOW
 WARNS THE J. s.

 HOSTILE ACT.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Carranza through the American consul at Vera Cruz has formally advised the state department that any use of force by the American troops at Naco, Arizona, in the efforts to keep Mexican bullets from crossing the American border, will be considered as an act of hostil- ity against Mexico no matter how well disposed the government of the United States itself might be towards the government of Mexico. This state ment is regarded as nothing less than a warning that the Mexicans of the Carranza party are ready to create trouble with this country for some purpose, probably with the view of gaining friends amongst the Mexicans whose feelings towards this country are usually unfriendly.

How" asked the young man who
had just bought the village paper and
desired to win prominence as an edi-
tor, can I get the public to become
interested in my Journal? I know the
principal thing is to make a good pa
per, but if nobody takes it, how will
any one find out that it is good? Some
thing must be done to attract atten-
tion-to cause the people to under
stand that we are on earth"
"Thatll be easy" said the travelling
printer, who had stopped over to as
sist in putting the patient on its feet.
Just print an item saying that GER
tain preacher in this town will get into
trouble if he doesn't cease paying at
tentions to a certain married member
of his flock and cease quick I'll bet
the paper containing that item won't
be off the press 40 minutes before
there's a copy OF It in every house in
this town"
