BOsphOrus--Many Prisoners Taken

Petrograd, Nov. 4.-The following
official communication from the Rus
sian general staff headquarters was
given out here tonight:
"A sudden change has Deen noted
since November on the East Prus-
sian front, where the enemy, which re-
Gently has been on the defensive al
most everywhere, has begun to fall
back at certain points. This retreat is
precipitate on the left wing Of the en-
emy, which was vigorously thrown
back toward Biala and Lick. Our
troops took Bakalarjevo, capturing a
large quantity Of arms and ammuni-
ton and making prisoners of Ger
man company.
ION the left bank Of the Vistula the
Germans continue their retreat to-
wards the frontier Their rear guards
have been dislodged from KOlo and
PrzedbOrg. On the morning of No
vember 3 we drove back the Aus
TRANS toward Kielce. which place our
troops occupied, making six hundred
prisoners and taking machine guns.
On the same day we won decisive
victory over the Austrians along the
whole front from kielce to Sandomir
The enemy fell back with all speed
Our troops took Sandomir, which is
an important strategical point"
'In the region south of Kielce dur
ing the past week we have made pris-
oners Of 200 officers and $1,000 SOL
diers and have taken a large num-
ber of cannon as we'll as machine
guns. During the night Of November
3 the Austrians made a series Of at,
tacks, which were fiery, but futile and
they retreated. Our troops took q
firm footing in the region Of Nisko and
Rudnik.
There is nothing to report from
the rest Of the front.
THE Turkish fleet is concentrated
in the Black sea, with base in the
Bosphorus. Apparently they are try
ing to avoid a fight with our forces

RICE VISITS COLUMBIA.
Biological Survey Agent Says Game
Law Enforcement in South is
Farce.

Columbia, Nov. 5.-James Henry
Rice of the United States biological
survey was in the city yesterday. He
declares that the enforcement of the
game laws in Southern States is a
nullity and a farce and that in sever
al Of the States the sentiment for the
enforcement of the law has gone back
five years. His observation is that
migratory birds are rapidly diminish
ing in number and that if the people
do not awake to the conditions there
will be no birds here in a few years.

from various parts Of the State show
that very light vote was pOlled in
the general election yesterday. All the
Democratic candidates have been
elected. The Republicans had candi-
dates for congress in several districts,
but the Democratic nominees were
overwhelmingly elected. The Socialists
had a State ticket. except for Adju-
tant General; a candidate for United
states senator and candidate for con-
gress In three Of the seven districts.
Reports received last night pointed to
the carrying Of the eleven amend
ments to the State constitution.
The situation In regard to the pro-
posed cotton bond issue Of $4,000, 900
was q hopeless mess. Apparently the
question was voted upon at only a
small percentage Of the polling pre-
cincts. in some counties not at all. The
election Is a nullity. Of course. In some
Of the counties the election commits
sioners did not attempt distribution of
the ballots and in others the ballots
reached the precincts after the polls
had opened. Returns received last
night showed an overwhelming vote
against the bond issue. In Charleston,
for instance. the vote was nine for and
$50 against.
A peculiar situation developed in
Dorchester. two Democrats contesting
for the office of superintendent of edu-
cation. Joseph A. Parler apparently
defeating ]. j. Howell. They were
candidates in the Democratic primary
election. the county executive commit
tee declaring Parler the nominee. The
State executive committee reversed
the decision. Circuit Judge Mauldin
pas ed on the matter and declared
Parler the nominee. An appeal has
been taken by Howell to the state Su-
preme Court. Because Of this con.
test both men entered the general
election yesterday.
