Allies Press Offensive Move ment and Gain Some Ground at Various Points On Battle Front
GERMAN SYSTEM
 OF FORTIFICATIONS BELIEVED DISTURBED
Germans North of the Wis., tula River in the East Re- tire Before Onrush of Russian Forces

London, December 22.--n0,2s n. mh Heavy fighting Is taking place on both eastern and western front. hut with out producing any material change In the positions of the opposing armies.
 In France and Belgium the allics' of- fensive Is being pressed and, while some ground has been gained at vvide- iy separated points. other attacks hsve been repulsed by the Germans iron. their strongly entrenched positions. Tn the northern area the artillery and wsrships yesterday took up the bst- tic, giving the infantry . rest, hut low CT down the line and from the Oise to the Mouse fierce fighting took place frs many districts.
 While the progress of tho allies is extremely slow. military experts here and in France believe the gains which the general staff has reported arc dis turbing the Germans system of forti- hcations at vital points and will, if successfully continued. compel a re- tirement by the Germans from their present lines.
 Germans Retire
 In the east most of the Germans north of Vistula have retired across the East Prussan frontier before the onrush of the Russian forces. but south of that river, between the Bzura and the Pilicia, the Germans continue their advance and announce that in a fierce battle they have crossed branches of the Rzaru and Rawlsa rivers at many places. This should bring the main armies close together and few days win tell whether the German advance is to be definitely checked or whether the Germans again are to threaten Warsaw.
 Fighting also continues in Gaiicia. but here. as along the East Prussian frontier, the Russians seem to have held back the Austro- German forces. The Germans, who are extremely strong along the whole eastern from tier. already are reported to be moving troops back to the west to meet tho all lies offensive. but 1t is not consid- cred likely this movement will reach large proportions until some decisive result has been gained in the contest against the Russians.
 Turks Attacked
 The Turks, like their allies, are be- ing attacked on two sides. The Rus sians claim to have inflicted a severe defeat on them in the district of Van, while the allied fleets have been bonn barding Kilid Bahr. in the Dards- nelles. and a French destroyer has shelled their troops on the mainland opposite the Island of Tenedos.
 The first real view Of the extent of the South African rebellion Is given by the minister of justice, who says Chat 4000 rebels are in prison and that 1900 have been sent to their homes on parole. There are still a few roaming about the country but they are with out leaders and are surrendering on the appearance of union forces.

HEED CUNNING
HAMS WARNING
And Avoid Danger of Entrusting
Prohibition to Its Enemies.

Bearing in mind the probability OF
the statewide prohibition amend
ment being adopted it would be
worse than blunder, it would be a
crime to elect at the same time an ad-
ministration hostile to the spirit OF
the constitution as amended by the
people.
1t would be folly to expect of a
man like Mr. Patterson, who. when
his personal interests were involved,
openly advocated the violation OF the
present law dealing with the liquor
question. that lie in good faith would
cause the enforcement OF the consti-
tuition.
1t would be useless to expect of a
Democratic legislature backed by a
Democratic executive, to do its duty
and make effective constitutional
amendment that the party as a
whole was opposed TO during the
league with the liquor element.
1t would be folly to expect of a
party that sought to undo the pres
ent local option law two years after
its enactment, through the Wardlaw-
Gary bill. to logically enforce the pro-
posed constitutional amendment.
With a hostile state administration
and statewide prohibition part OF the
fundamental law of the state. the con-
dition OF Colorado would be worse
ten times worse than under the pres
ent laws In truth there would be no
liquor laws. Encouraged by hostile
state administration and Legislature
unwilling to carry out the mandate
OF the majority of the voters. the op-
ponents of prohibition would con
test the measure and they would use
every possible means in the house oi
their friends to prevent any legisla-
tive action to put the amendment IN,
to effect. In the meantime the. loca,
option law would be imperative il
not innocuous altogether.
1t would be within the power of a
hostile body at the state-house to in
woke the referendum to hold the pro
hibition amendment in allegiance fol
two years and to have it again re-
ferred TO the people.
Without the necessary penalties tc
be prescribed by legislative enact
ment it is very doubtful whether the
proposed amendment would be any
thing but dead letter for at leas
two years to come.
