Don't Believe All You Hear Says
Petroorad

PETROGRAD. Dec. 21-The head of
the general staff issued a statement,
warning the population against partial
and inaccurate reports concerning po-
sitions of the Russian army. 1t denied
that the Germans were getting the best
of the situation. and declared the
change of positions was for the purpose
of gaining certain advantages
The statement said: THE head of
the general staff says that owing to
malevolent reports widely printed in
newspapers during the past few days
concerning the condition and strategic
positions of our armies. he thinks it
fitting to warn the Russian public
against the Partially and inaccuraey
of these reports. The fact that our
armies have adopted a narrower front
is the outcome of a decision arrived at
after a full and free consideration by
the military authorities. The season
for this plan is obvious in view of the
concentration in front of our army of
considerable Germany forces. More
over, this plan offers other advantages
concerning which. unhappily, we can
not give details for the present, for
military reasons

French Ascendency.
PARIS, Dec 21.-The French war
office tonight made public a report
of an eyewitness to events on the
battle line which says in part;
During the period from the seventh
to the fifteenth of December the
ascendaney gained by our infantry
placed US in a position to make, in
various sections of the front, pro-
gress which seems to have disturbed
The enemy. The German infantry
is more cautious and continues
sniping by them denotes a certain
amount of nervousness. The fact
that they are using searchlights and
lighting rockets more and more re-
veals their fear of attacks. After
expensive and useless experiments of
last month our adversaries seem al
most everywhere to be reduced to
defensive measures, it is we, who
on the whole of the front, having as
sumed the offensive Our artillery
is showing more superiority"

DIVORCES IN wet
AND DRY COUNTIES
Figures Show Effect Of Liquor
On Homes.

Columbus, O.-As proof that drink
is the cause of the breaking up of
many homes, and that it is at the bot
tom of a large per cent of the divorce
cases in the courts, figures from
court records of Ohio for the year end
ing June 80, 1913, are being exhibited.
These figures show that on that date
5,575 divorce cases were pending in
the eighty-eight counties.
or this number 772 were in the
forty-five dry counties and 4,S03 in the
forty-three wet counties. On the basis
Of the 1910 census, one divorce case
was pending to each 1878 of the pop
ulation in the dry counties, and one
to each 724 of the population in the
wet counties. There was more than
double the cases in proportion to pop
ulation in wet than in dry territory.
From 1896 to 1918, 4,726 divorce cases
were granted in Ohio for drunkenness
alone, while thousands more were
granted for causes growing out Of the
use of liquor. This record bears out
the systematic investigation and con-
clusions of Judge Gemmill of the Chi
cago Court Of Domestic Relations, who
says that the cause of forty-six out Of
every 100 divorce cases in that city
is excessive drink.
