STILL ON
Eastern Arena of
War in Spotlight.
GREATER ACTIVITY ON
THE WESTERN FRONT
Indications Are That important
Movements Are Imminent.

London, Dec. 5.--For the moment
war remains in the eastern arena of
battling, where the result of the great
clash of millions of men in Poland
will go far toward determining the
duration of the war as we'll as its
character during the next few months,
but those more or less behind the
scenes believe they see signs that
the deceptive interval of relative calm
which has marked the operations in
few days has about reached its limit.
The fighting I'm Russian Poland, in
the opinion OF British observers, ap-
pears to have had no effect on the
Russian operations against Cracow, to
stop which, they assert, has been the
main object of the Germans. In the
possession of heights within three or
four miles of the outer forts of the
former city of Poland the British OBJ
servers contend the Russians appear
to have the Cracow fortresses at their
mercy AS the outer forts are from
twenty-five to thirty-ive miles from
Cracow proper it would seem, how
ever. that further progress by the Rus
slams is necessary to make telling
assault on Cracow.
Would Affect Polish Situation.
If Cracow falls it is anticipated that
IL will have immediate effect on the
campaign in Poland, 1t being argued
in London that the Germans then
would be forced to double back to
stem the invasion of Silesia, which
would be the immediate sequel to the
Russian capture Of Cracow.
Germany has resumed the offensive
in Poland and is striking another blow
at Russia. Although authenticated re-
ports picture the situation only in
yaguest outline it is apparent the Ger.
mans, who only few days ago were
fighting desperately to avert calami-
tous defeat, now are renewing their
Efforts to sweep back the enemy. The
British official statement says the Ger
man offensive in Poland is taking its
normal course and that in East Prus-
sia the Russian attacks east of the
plain of the Mazurian lakes were re-
pulsed with heavy losses to the Rus
slams. The statement says that EN-
peror William has returned to Berlin.
In Poland a new battle has deyel-
oped southwest of Lodz, where the
Germans have formed another line
and again are Attempting to pierce
the center of the Russian army. The

Strasburg Wins.

Sunday last was big day in
base ball. The Lintonites did not
succeed in getting the long end of
the score, but, nevertheless. there
was something doing every minute.
Linton played at Strasburg and
the boys down the line took their
visitors into camp to the tune of A
to |. In fact, it looked like shut
out most of the way, but the county
seaters showed a little flash of old
time form in the last inning and one
run was scored on couple of hard
driyea.
The game Sunday was an exciting
one and people generally seemed to
realize that it weuld be so. Prac-
tically every automobile in town
went loaded to the brim. Stras-
burg, also, was we'll represented.
Linton had strengthened up materi-
ally, but our opponents were on the
job all the time. Linton's new
pitcher worked in that game for the
first time and he did exceptionally
we'll after he got to going. In the
first couple of innings, though. the
Strasburg siuggers took some pref
ty hard wallops at the ball. That
and few errors OF a costly nature
behind him did the business, Stras-
burg having lead of three runs all
the way.
This is two games for Strasburg
and one for Linton this season. The
fact that each team had one victory
to its credit made the Sunday game
all the more interesting and hard
fought.
Both the above aggregations will
undoubtedly play in the tournament
at Hazelton the last of the week,
and, with the help of Braddock and
Hazelton, there will be some fun for
| the spectators.

EUROPEAN POLICEMEN.

Glover In London, "sIoppy" In Paris
and Polite In Berlin.
In humor, In urbanity, as in perfect

in "Vagabond Journeys" has word
to say of the various policemen of the
world. He adds that in looks only our
American policemen equal those of
London.
TO the stranger the policeman seems
the politest of all Londoners. Chiefly,
however, 1t is in his control Of traffic,
awheel and afoot, that he is unrivaled.

controlling traffic at crowded street

servnion of Partisan street traffic Is
all that is really necessary to Impress
you with the belief that in case of
need the Paris policeman would al.
ways, with much noise and melo-
drama, arrest the wrong person.
The police of Berlin are vastly bet

as the English "constables," but they
are fairly smart The men are polite,
