Russian Poland Campaign
 Watched With Interest

London, Nov. 20, 12:o2 D. m.-Both In London and Berlin the present stage of the campaign in Russian Poland is regarded as highly impor tant, and Germany's advance in the Warta- -Vistula country is being watched with interest.
 Army headquarters in Petrograd announces that two great battles have developed along the eastern front, one on the line between Czenstochowa and Cracow, apparently extending along the railroad between these points, and the second in the Warta- Vistu1a region, but Russian observers do not appear to attach much sig nificance to the outcome in this lat ter region.
 A general survey of the reports re- ceived here from all quarters con- veys the impression that the German advance on the Vistula has met at least with temporary check, while the Russian invasion of East Prussia has suffered a like fate near Anger burg, where the German defences, consisting chiefly of vertical lines of wire entanglements, are reported to be very strong.
 Berlin declares that a concentric attack is being made on the Russian center, the German armies coming from the west and the northwest, while Austria is sending force north from the Cracow region. Pet rograd, however, states that the of fensive in western Galicia is still un- der way and that Cracow is believed to be invested on three sides, leaving only one line of rail communication open.
 Tn West Flanders, owing to weather conditions, operations apparently are at almost a standstill. Artillery due1s and boat forays are the only features of the military situation there The advent of damp and bitter cold wealth er, with the disease and privations Incident to it's coming, promise to make both the eastern and western fronts scenes of great suffering Parallels for what may be witnessed this coming winter are being sought m Napoleon's retreat from Moscow.
 New taxation for Great Britain, which under ordinary conditions would have taken a generation of the most bitter political controversy to pass, has today been accepted with scarcely murmur. The exact figures of the war loan subscription are not yet known and they probably will not be made public until Chancellor of sb> Excheouer Lloyd George ad

ABOLISH TWO-DSTR|CT
 TAX PLAN IS PROPOSED
This Will Be RecOmmenda- tiOn Made to Charter Re-
 vision Committee.

Abolishment of two taxing districts on the ground that the plan is obso- lete, will be one of the suggestions made to the committee on revising the building ordinances when it holds it's meeting.
 Supporters of the single district plan are numerous and it would not surprise many if it were adopted and recommended as charter change. A special effort is to be made this year to do away with the two districts and those who favor the movement are preparing a strong drive for single district.
 Under the present charter the city is divided into two districts, property owners in the first paying eleven and one-quarter mills tax and those in the second sixteen and three quarters mills. According to those behind the movement for the abolishment of the double district plan it is relic of former years that is made unneces- sary by present day conditions.
 The first district, it is claimed, re- ceives many benefits for which it does not contribute. If fire breaks out in that district there is no legal reason why the fire apparatus should respond, yet the moral reason is so strong that the firemen fight the flames with as much energy as they would were it in the second district Cases of this have been known, mo- tably fires at the farms of Edward O. Kilbourne and Charles s. Andrews in the north end.
 A contribution of s5,0OO from the first district is received for the main- tenance of the police departm ent. With the appointment of a motor ycle policeman the outlying districts now receive better protection than ever. Other reasons are advanced by supporters of the plan to make the city into one district and it is claimed that the first district, paying less taxes, has nearly all the advantages of the second.
 Among those whom Mayor Quigley will appoint to the charter revision committee are Senator-elect George w. Klett, Representatives. E. w. Schultz and F.. c. Goodwin, Senator Georgge M. Landers, Judge B. F. Gaff- ney and E. w. Christ

LEAVES YOUNG WIFE TO ELoPE WITH ANOTHER'S
Salvatore De Brazl Steals Affections of Sixteen Years
 Old Susan De Viti.

Having cast aside his wife's affec- tions as one would an old glove, Sal- vatora De Brazi, who lived at No. BOA
 Main street, stole the affections of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Susan De viti, bride of four years, and at IL o'clock yesterday morning the two took French leave and left town together. Discovering her husbands infdelity Mrs. De Brazi, who is in an extreme ly delicate condition at present, was broken hearted and 1t was not until this morning, after she had given her faithless spouse plenty of time to re- pent, that she came to the police and much embarrassed, told her tale of woe Not so with Susan's hus- band, however. MT. Dewitt is filled with righteous indignation and craves only the opportunity to meet his brother-in-law face to face. What he won't do to Salvatora won't be worth doing and the latter's friends will have to pick him up in a bas- ket if fate decrees that the two meet Failing in this he will be satisfied if Salvatora is sent to prison for the rest of his natural life.
 Salvatora, the clipping husband, is fairly we'll known about the center of the city. He always tried to dress 1ashiIy and worked only when neces- sary. For some time he had been casting envious glances at De Fitis wife and that his amorous advances were not distasteful to her is evil denced by the fact that when he sug- gested the severing of all home ties and starting out together she was more than ready. When De Brazi left home he took with him $500 that his wife had put aside for rainy day. leaving the poor woman desti- ute.
 Mrs. Dewitt is not a bad looking Italian girl and while she is but six teen and one-half years of age she has been married four years, wedding De Viti when she was mere girl of a dozen summers. That, after four years of married life she did not think her choice had measured up to pre- nuptial expectations is demonstrated by the fact that she left him for her new found love without even taking the trouble to say. au revoir.

TWO YOUNG CRAP
 SHOOTERS CAUGHT
Officers Hayes and Strolls Arrest Boys in Rear of Arch
 Street Store

A scramble that closely resembled a young panic took place this morn ing when Officers Hayes and Strolls chanced to meander in the rear of Miller & Olson's Arch street store where a gang of a dozen or more youths were industriously engaged in shooting crap." When the stam- pede took place each of the officers grabbed one of the fleeing boys and brought them to the police station
 They gave their names as John Pazen, aged fifteen years, of 1S0 Washington street, and Steve Bolen- ski, aged seventeen years, of 169 Grove street. As usual in such cases, both boys denied being in the game and both stoutly denied knowing who the other players were. One of the boys had little change in his pockets, among which was ten cents and the policemen declare that he was preparing to get into the game when caught.
 Every little while the police re- ceive complaints about young boys who congregate in alleyways and behind stores where they shoot crap and gamble but it is generally impos- sible to catch them at it.

 Late reports from Turkey indicate that the Turkish arms are making a better showing than at the opening of the Balkan war. This is believed to be due to the fact that the men are largely ofHcered by Germans, who are able to make better use of the recog- nized fighting ability of the Turkish soldier than are his own commanders.
 In Constantinople there have been several outbreaks against foreigners, but none of a serious nature.

 Introduced to the convention President Gompers as "Our
 and addressing the delegates as
 low trade unionists," Secretary W son said that he had been criticized for certain statements he had made at the federation's convention at Seattle last year and declared that he reaffirmed what he said there and that he would not change one title of the statement that every title to property is a law-created and law protected title.
 The secretary said he had also been accused of partisanship in conducting his department. "If securing justice to those who earn their living by the sweat of their face is partisan ship" he exclaimed, then count me a partisan on the side of the man that labors."
 MT. Wilson in telling of the work of his department said that in the past year and half it had handled scores of trade disputes and that all have been settled with the exception of a Pere Marquette strike and the strikes at Calumet and in Colorado. The department, he added, takes the stand that the employer and the em- ploye have mutual interest in creat- ing a greater amount of production with a given amount of labor. They only differ as to the share that should go to each and the method under which it should be produced.

Washington, Nov. 20-The quar- antine against cattle shipments from Canada to the United States imposed on foot and mouth disease, was lifted today by the department of agricul- ture.
 The quarantine against Canadian cattle was not placed because of in- lection in the Dominion, but to pre- vent the return of infected cattle cars to the United States. The raising of the Canadian quarantine was said by officials to be m added evidence that the epidemic is being brought under control.

APAZO, Texas, May What he

of the entire Carranza revolution

of the entire Federal garrison of Sal

Fragmentary dispatches from Sal

reon said General Pablo Gonzales,
with a large Constitutionalist force, is
approaching Saltillo from the east,
having defeated Federal outposts six
miles from there.
General Villa is moving on Saltillo
from the west by way of Paras and
Hipolito, and the forces of General
MacloVes Herrera, General Eugenio
Aguire and Benavides are in a posi-
ton to cut off retreat from Saltillo to
the south.
Thus the federal garrison, said to
number from 5000 to 10000, is COM
pletely bottled up. The forces of
Benavides and Herrera were sup
posed to have gone to attack San
Luis Potosi, but it is now believed
that this movement may have been
merely feint to cover the real pur-
pose of the Constitutionalists move
ments.
Elaborate preparations are being
made here for a military parade to-
morrow by 5000 United States troops
stationed at Fort Bliss.

Mr.. O'Shaughnessy assured inquir-
ers that papers of the embassy and

would make no comment, denying,
however, that he had resigned or that
he had heard anything official con-

Asked if he thought it possible for a

president to be established in Mexico,
pending settlement of the difficulties
there, the American charge replied in
the affirmative. He reiterated former
denial of reports that he had sug-
gested to President Wilson a list of
prominent Mexicans who might be
chosen to take charge of the govern
ment there pending a constitutional
election.

BRAIN OPERATION
MAY WIN PARDON
Relieved of Pressure, Murder
er's Mind Works Normally and
Brute Tendencies Disappear.

TRENTON, May THE removal by
the prison physicians of a bone splin-
ter pressing on the brain of Jonas
Szikely, a convict serving a thirty
year sentence for murder in the State
penitentiary here, has so transformed
the mental condition of the man that
the Court of Pardons has ordered an
investigation with a view of recon-
mending pardon for him.
Szikely received a blow on the head
in the struggle when the murder was
committed by him in 1910, and until
the operation several months ago he
was kept under close guard and gen.
orally feared by other prisoners. Now,
II is said, he exhibits a kindly dispo-
sition and is constantly helping his
fellow prisoners.

The operation was performed by DR..

he had come to prison, no one had

that, instead of the brute features
and expression before the operation
the man now exhibited a bright

intelligent, and has since shown one
of the kindest and sweetest disposl-
tons to be found anywhere.
