LULL PREVAILS IN
WESTERN WAR ZONE
Only Small SkirmiSheS and Minor
Artillery Clashes Occur.

London. Nov. 30-While newspaper
reports from Petrograd continue to
claim a victory in Northern Poland,
comparable at least to Sedan and even
worthy to rank with the disaster
which Russia inflicted upon Napoleon,
official communications shed little
light on the situation in this region.
An official dispatch from Grand
Duke Nicholas, commander-in-chief of
the Russian forces in the field, while
of considerable length, concerns itself
largely with more or less isolated
operations and does not claim the in
fiction of an overwhelming defeat up
on the invaders. The grand duke
sums up the situation with the declara-
tion that on the entire front between
the Vistula and the Warta rivers the
battle is progressing in favor of Rus
sian arms. Both Berlin and Vienna
maintain no decisive result has fol-
lowed the recent operations in Poland.
In operations lasting three days in
the vicinity of Strykow, fifteen miles
northeast of I.odz, and Tushin, an
equal distance to the south of this
city, the Germans lost upwards of H.
900 men, heavy battery of artillery,
and twenty y-eight machine guns, ac-
cording to authoritative information
made available in Lemberg and re-
ceived In London.
Austrian Losses Heavy.
In the same fighting the Austrians
lost $1,000 men, in addition to twenty
machine guns" the message says.
The German operations in this local
ity are declared by Russian military
observers in Lemberg to have been
absolute failures and the chances OF
their escaping further disaster are re-
garded here as slight"
On the western battle front the lull
still prevails, the fighting apparently
being limited to small skirmishes and
minor artillery exchanges. Berlin Of
ficially contradicts the report that Dix
nude has been reoccupied by the al
lies. Holland dispatches indicate the
British fleet off the Belgian coast has
resumed its bombardment of towns
held by the Germans, but the official
statement of the French makes no
reference to the reported lombard
ment.
The French statement says that in
Belgium the artillery exchanges were
continued without any particular Incl
dent, the heavy artillery of the Ger
mans showing less activity than on
previous days. There was but one
attack of infantry, to the south Of
Ypres, which was repulsed by the al
lies. The statement says the French
artillery brought down German b.
plane, carrying three aviators.
No Change In Arras.
The French statement reports no
change in the region of Arras and
south to the Aisne river. In Cham
payne the French claim their heavy
artillery inflicted serious losses on the
German artillery. From tAs Argonne

Washington, Nov 30.-Reports from

Every delegate to the congress who
served under the Madero regime will

be established in the Mexican capital
With it as a nucleus the convention
government will be in a position to
apply to the United States and the
A-B-C powers for recognition.
Despite the fact that Carranza is in
power at Vera Cruz belief is gaining
here that he must make material con
cessions to other insurgent factions
in Mexico or face annihilation.
The desertion of General Luis
Caballero, who commands in the state
of Tamulipas, is a serious blow.

COUNCIL MAKING NO PLANS FOR
NORTH THIRD AVENUE PRO-
JEcT FOR NEXT YEAR.
GRADING OF STREET TO
BE FINISHED VERY SOON
A. Result Of Grading Street Has Boon
TITLED With Loose Sand, and 10 Badly
s.Rutted-counciImen Think Perma
,nent Pavement VIII! Be Necessary to
iPut Street in Good Shape.

Whether or not anything will be
from Second avenue along Riverside
street to Third avenue, and from there
north to Riverside park will depend on
the outcome of the city election next
spring. Because of the election the
city council is not making any plans
for this project. The grading is near
ing completion, and it will probably be
finished in a few weeks.
The grading contractor has 5000 TO
1000 cubic yards of earth to move yet
before Third avenue from Marion
street north will be graded. Most OF
the grading in the Binford addition
is finished.
Road Is in Bad Shape.
Because the road has been torn up
by the graders 1t is in very bad con-
dition from Marion street. north, and
unless something is done to improve II
after the grading is done 1t is likely
to remain in very bad condition all
winter. The earth being moved along
the road by the graders is practically
all sand, which the traffic keeps stirred
UP and cut into deep ruts
Councilman Dorr Lamb, superinten-
dent of the park, intends to have the
park keeper improve a part of the
widened road leading into the park for
a distance of 200 or 300 feet just south
of the park entrance during the winter.
This improvement will, however. only
take care of part of the road, and the
worst of it is still farther south Of the
park entrance.
Think Must Be Paved.
The councimen think that some KIND
Of permanent pavement must be laid
before satisfactory road can be built
on top of the sand. Councilman Lamb
doubts whether anything else than a
permanent pavement OF concrete or
similar paving material will prove sat
isfactory. Councilman w. E. Nichol-
son believes that perhaps gravel, with
a. top binder course of some material,
would make permanent road. Both
realize that in any event some sort OF
permanent road must be built before
the road will be what 1t should be-,
This boulevard project, while 1t is
part Of the street system, is also at
the same time sort Of an extension

trance OF which was built so that 1t
would open directly from near the mid
die Of the north end Of the boulevard.

Gail Fire Department
To Fin Engine Tanks

The city fire department was called
upon to fill an unusual duty Thursday
evening. when the fire boys tapped the
city fire plugs and filled Ave engine tanks
for the Great Western Railway Com
pany from the fire hose. This unusual
proceeding was necessitated by the
sudden drop in temperature causing
the railways water tank to freeze.
II was discovered early Thursday
evening that the water In the service
tank had frozen solid. and the COM
pany called on the fire department for
assistance. The patrol wagon with a
line of hose, was sent to the Great
Western yards. and the city mains
were tapped for supply OF water for
the engine boilers.
Owing to the late and open fall the
railroad company had not taken the
customary precautions to protect it's
water service against freezing weather.
and as a result the service failed.

RULE MAY NOT STAND.
nFour. an" Provision Not as Drastic
AZ First Reports Made II Appear.

I"Four.Man" PROVISION MOT 40 OVasssS
as First Reports Made II Appear.
The -four man" rule adopted by the
Central association at the burlington
meeting Wednesday proves to be less
drastic than first reports from Burning
ton would have it appear, and there IS
now some question whether the new
rule will ever apply.
In sending out the story from Bur
lington, the correspondents did not eN-
plain the rule fully, and one missing
phrase in the rule changes the meaning
considerably.
The rule, as adopted. provides that
a club in the Central association may
reserve not more than four old men.
who have played ball in leagues nigh
er than class D." With the addition
Of this modifying phrase the effect or
the rule is materially changed. Instead
of this modifying clause the effect OF
lease half dozen men, as the first
reports Of the meeting would have
made it appear the local club may re-
tain all the men on the reserve list
with possibly one exception.
It is also provided that men released
under the provisions Of the new rule
can not be signed by another club In
the Central association.
The rule will affect Harshalltown
but little. Harter Seibert. Jude. and
possibly Slattery and Richardson
would be affected. Manager Richards
would come under the rule also, but he
would be exempt insofar rs acting as
manager is concerned. 1t Is not known
how long Richardson and Slattery
were members Of higher class leagues
and 1t may be that neither would come
within the provisions of the ruling.
A. r. Strub, who was in attendance
at the meeting from this city, In tell
ing OF the action of the association.
said many plans were suggested, and
the "four-man" plan was accepted
more in the nature of compromise
than anything else. Some of the plans
suggested were impossible, in the opin-
ion OF several members. and other
plans proposed were favored by ma
jority but unanimous vote could
not be secured. On the four man
plan the vote was evenly divided at
first, Marshalltown, Waterloo. Cedar
Rapids and Burlington opposing It, 1t
was then suggested that the plan pro-
vide for the retention Of not to exceed
six men, instead of four, but this pro-
posal did not meet with favor from the
members who had favored the four
man" plan.
The new rule is questioned by some
members. 1t being held that it is not
constitutional. and 1t may be that 1t
will not become effective.
