FOUR MILLIONS
SENT To FRONT To
FIGHT GERMANS
Berlin Claims Vast Masses of
Men Have Been Unable to
Force TeutOns From Posi-
tionS-Czar Short of Arms.

BERLIN, Nov. 2S.-(Via Berlin and
Amsterdam) m)-According to news re-
ceived here from the front in Poland
the Russians are straining every ef-
fort to put all their available men
into the conflict that has now entered
its third week. Military experts de-
clare that the Russian leaders have
sent at least 100000 men to the
front in their attempt to infiict a
crushing defeat upon the German
marines
Despite the vast masses Of men
that the Russians have hurled for
ward. 1t is said I'm Berlin that the
Germans have stood their ground, and
inflicted tremendous losses upon the
attacking enemy. 1t is admitted,
however, that the Germans have
gained no advantage in the battle
that can be called a complete vic
tory.
In the western theater OF war the
situation is characterized as practical
ly unchanged. Reports published in
England that the allies have recap
tured Dixmude are officially denied
here today
Unable to Arm Troops.
''Tt can be stated without reserve,
saws one German expert, that Russia
has been unable to arm thousands OF
the men who nave Deen calleu 70 the
colors These men, OF course have
not been put into the fighting line,
but are held in reserve and used to
I'LL the gaps effected by our attacks
When they go into battle they are
given the weapons of the men who
have been killed and whose places
they have taken.
"This cannot fail TO have its ef-
feet upon the morale of the fresh
Russian troops.
Furthermore, their cOmmissaaiat
has failed to meet the extraordinary
conditions imposed upon it. Thous-
ands of Russian soldiers are suffer

ed beasts when they are taken prison.

Russians are far behind US. The

wounded early in the war are now
back in the field On the contrary
the Russian wounded die in great
numbers because OF the lack Of med

SECOND
DRIVE OH WARSAW
HAS BEEH broken
Russian Official Statement De-
Clares KaiSer'S Men Have
Been Pushed Back From
BZura River.

PETROGRAD. Nov. 2S.-An official
statement issued here at midnight
gives a general idea OF the conforma-
ton Of the battle lines in Poland and
OF the situation which has for 10 pre-
vious days been described only in frag-
ments. 1t shows clearly that the sec
ond German drive on Warsaw has
been smashed
The Germans have been driven
back from the Bzura river and the
Russians have reached Gombin, south
east of Plock. The German forces
that advanced to the Bzura comprised
the left wing Of the kaisers army in
Poland and for a time they theatened
Warsaw. This danger has been elm
mated by the fierce attacks Of the
Russian reinfOrcements that were sent
from Warsaw and NOvo GOrgioevesk.
The Russian gains in this region will
Tighten the pressure brought by the
Germans from Thorn upon the czars
troops north of the Nistula river and
PROBABLY Will permit the Russians who
had fallen back toward the Bug river
To resume their offensive against the
Soldau-ThOrn line.
Cavalry Forces Retreat.
South of the Bzura river, the Off
ciai statement says, the Russian cav
airy forced the Germans to retreat
between Brzeziny and GlownO, re-
spectively. east and northeast of LodZ
and the Russian troops attacked the
Germans in the region at SbierZ and
Strykow.
Unofficial reports state that the Ger
mans are suffering heavy losses in
this region. The Warsaw correspond
ent of the Bourse Gazette telegraphs
tnat 100, 900 Germans under Gen. Won
Mackenzen have been surrounded.
--latest reports" he says, show
that Gen. Mackenzen is still battling
furiously with 1OO,O of his men sur
rounded in the neighbOrhOOd of
Brzeziny and Strykow. Russian guns
are pouring fearful fire into the
living German citadel and few of
Mackenzen's army will b. able TO hack
their way through the Russians iron
circle.
Successes i'm South.
Before the disastrous battle Of
LODI the kaiser telegraphed Gen. Won
Hindenburg:
Distinguish yourself. The eyes of
the world are on you. He failed to
carry out the behest of his master"
The official statement sums up the
situation between the Vistula and
Warthe as favorable to the Russian
arms, while farther south, where the
Austrians and Germans are cooperat-
ing on the w-Czestochowar front,
further successes have been gained
on the lower Sroniawa river. 1t is
here that the Teutonic allies are fight
ing to hold back the Russians that
threaten Cracow from the north.
The Russian forces that worked
their way through the Carathian foot
hills after Przemysl was invested are
now only 35 miles east Of Cracow, hav-
ing captured the Galician town of
Bochnia. They have also crossed
the Raba river, the last big stream i'm
peding their advance on Cracow from
the east and southeast.

A Victory Over
Stubborn Opposition

BY the decisive vote of the presiding officer.
Mr. Ellison, in the Virginia senate last Friday.
the enabling act, which allows the people Of
Virginia to vote for Statewide prohibition in
September passed, and the general impression
Is that the people, when they get chance. are
going to put the finishing touches it by a
big majority. AS the vote stood 20 to 20 in the
senate. the question is raised to the right
of the lieutenant governor to cast the vote. The
question will be hard fought, but we hardly
think with the strong sentiment behind it there
will be anything accomplished now to keep the
question from going to the people. OF course,
the vast amount of money in the hands OF the
liquor men will be used freely to defeat the pro-
hibition forces, but we feel that the hour of
doom has struck and that Virginia will now
Join her sisters to the South and West that have
gone dry.
This means no little to North Carolina. The
immense sums of money at the command of the
liquor forces represent largely the toll of death
that has been taken from this State within the
past six or eight years. 1t represents the blood
and tears of poor women and children in North
Carolina who have been robbed of bread and
clothing and subjected to unspeakable inhuman-
tiles on account of the traffic across the line.
When think Of the manner in which Vir-
ginia liquor dealers have nulifed the prohibit
ton law in North Carolina 1t Is enough to make
the blood boil In veins. and there should
not be day between this and the day set for
this election that our prayers should not ascend
to the God of heaven for the success Of the
be well for North Carolina to come to the help
of her neighbors in giving material support to
4 campaign such as will leave nothing undone
in meeting a foe having millions with which
to corrupt and debauch the people OF that great
Commonwealth. North Carolina should. by
every token, make common cause with Virginia
against the common enemy which has been al
lowed to fortify itself for years by taxing the
innocent women and CHILDREN OF this State. The
fact is many of those weo have made the larger
Virginia cities famous great fountains of
booze. renegades from North Carolina, who
found roost in Virginia when they were out
lawed here.
Let every true heart to whom this message
comes begin to pray and work for the enancipa-
ton OF Virginia for the safety OF homes
is largely dependent upon victory for our
brothers across the line. Pray that the God OF
battles may go before us and SO lead that this
greatest enemy of our freedom may meet a stag
