were engaged in war

LAMAR PosTPoNEs ACTION
Justice Not Ready to Decide Lntcst
Phase OF Frank Case.

WASHINGTON, December 24-Jus-
tice Lamar. OF the Supreme Court, to-
day postponed until after Christmas
action on an appeal in the case of Leo
NJ. Frank, under death sentence for the
murder Of Mary Phagan, the factory
girl of Atlanta. Ga.
During the day, Louis Marshall. Of
New York. made application to the JUS
tice for nm appeal from the decision
of Judge Newman. Of the Georgia Fed
eral Court, denying Franks petition for
release on Il habeas corpus writ. The
attorney argued for an hour that the
trial court, which found Frank guilty,
had lost jurisdiction over him by per-
mittihg mob atmosphere to prevail in
the courtroom. and by allowing Il YER
diet to be returned during the pris-
oner's absence from the court. Justice
Lamar notified Mr.. Marshall that he
would withhold decision on the appli-
cation until Saturday at least. and pos
sibly until Monday.
Most of the points in the case are
fresh In the Justices mind. as just be-
fore Thanksgiving he denied an appli-
cation for a writ of error to review the
action Of the Georgia Supreme Court in
refusing to set aside the verdict. The
Justice held in that proceeding that the
State of Georgia had exclusive power
over procedure of State courts. The at
tempt to-day was TO establish that the
case now could be considered on it's
merits

Posen, Prussia, December %; London.
Deeemoer 21.-The capture OF Lodz,
according to declaration made to-day
nS General Won Hindenburg, German
com mander. to correspondent Of the
Associated Press, was the turning point
of the campaign in Poland Russian
lines in Northern Poland rested on that
city, Tor the possession OF which there
occurred the most bitter struggle of
the entire war on this front. After the
Russians. following most obstinate
resistance on their part. were forced
to evacuate the town, general Rus
sian retirement in the direction of War
saw became necessary.
The Associated Press correspondent
to-day visited some of the battlcficlds
In the vicinity of fodz. and gained an
IDEA OF the nature of the operations
which led TO the city's capture.
IN FORM OF PITCHFORk
COLUMNS ARE DRIVEN
According to the general alignment
Of the Austro- German forces. they
might have been expected to advance
from the west. However. the attack
was made largely from the north and
northwest. They drove their columns
into the Russians in the form of n huge
pitchfork. with another large force be-
tween the tines.
1t looked for n time as if the Rus
slams would be forced to rctreat--if
retreat were possible in the face OF
the gigantic envcloping movements in
the direction Of their Warsaw base.
The intention was to drive the Rus
slams into the arms OF large Austro-
German forces masSed to cut Off their
retreat. but the timely arrival OF Rus
sian reserves from Warsaw resulted
in the breaking of the eastcrnmost
tine OF the fork. relieving the situation
for the Russians
In one OF the operations around Lodz
occurred the celebrated cutting off, Of
two German army corps which, after
being entirely surrounded, cut their
way out and brought with them 1900
of their would-be captors The scene
OF that exploit, which n member of tho
general staff characterized as one OF
the most brilliant of the war, was

About the same distance west OF Lodz
is the little churchynrd OF Beschici.
where the Russians. in one of the nnal
phases OF the struggle for LodZ showed
that, In spite of their defeats and dis
couragements. they knew how to figh,
and die. This churchyard lies on a
small emincncc which formed n salicnr
into the German lines
The Germans were able to attack
from three sides with infantry and ar
tillery. All Russian trenches were en-
hlaued by shrapnel from one direction
or another. but the Russians clung to
their positions obstinately. When the
Germans finally captured the trenches

as far as the southern part of this
village q counterattack on the enemy;
this WAS done in spite OF very spir-

certain detachments along the right
bank OF the User, TO the south of Dix

WIRELESS OPEN FOR BUSINESS
Secretary Daniels Asked TO Open Up
Naval stations.

WASHINGTON. December 2i-Au-
thority for opening all naval radio sta
tons to commercial business was
sought by Secretary Daniels to-day in
a letter TO the Hous. Naval Committee
II" submitted proposal to that effect
ior inclusion In the forthcoming ap-
preparation bill. An accompanying
ri' 'morandum set forth that handling
o' private messages by the government
would increase the efficiency OF the
stations and tend to prevent erection
of purely commercial stations In the
same locality. Twenty-four naval sta
tions now are open to commercial use
under the law OF 1912, and the secre :
tary said there were eighteen others,
exclusive OF lightships and special sta
tons. available for this purpose.
