 Imperceptible
GERMANS SUCCESSFUL IN FORCING RUSSIANS
 FROM BEFORE CRACOW
Effort to Pierce the Russian Front Is Repulsed-Rus- sia Resumes Offensive In Galicia and Claims Minor Successes

Rome, December 23.-(4:5O p. m.) A rumor is in circulation here that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria Hungary is dying. The report has it that the Emperor has received the last .sacraments.
 London. December 23.--t:,15 D. m.)
 The allies in the west, the Germans
 in Poland and the Russians In East
 Prussia and Galicia continue offcn-
 sive operations, hut the advances have
 been so slight to he almost imper-
 ceptibIc. In the long run, however, the
 ground gained may prove vital and the
 various armies arc fighting with an in-
 tensity not exceeded since the war be-
 gan.
 In Poland the center of interest has
 shifted slightly to the south. Finding
 the direct road to Warsaw blocked by Russian achievements the Germans made an attack from the southwest and have reached Slxiernewice some 40 miles from the Polish capital They thus far have failed to pierce the Russian lines. but have forced Grand Duke Nicholas to withdraw from before Cracow. In this
 one of the chief aims of their offensive | against Russia, the Germans have been successful.
 In Galicia, Russia has resumed the of fenslve against the Austro- German forces
 which have poured in from the west and across the Carpathians. According to the latest Petrogr:td report, the Russians have inflicted heavy losses oii these l forces, while in the north they have
 pursued beck into the interior of East Prussia. small German army which
 made a feint at Warsaw from the north west.
 Score Some Successes Although the allies have scored some | successes in the west they are meeting with stubborn resistance and military
 men warn the public that very heavy casualty lists must be expected before any serious impression can be made on the German entrenchments. Activity seems to have been resumed also on the Belgian coast. for it Is an- nounced that the allies have made slight progress between the sea and the road from Nieuport to Westende. At other points similar fighting is proceeding wsth here success and there reverse or fall ure of attack.
 Airmen on both sides have been busy and aeroplanes have been swarming over Belgium. the fliers reconnoitering move ments of the opposing troops and occa- sionally dropping bombs. Bruges and Brussels have been visited by aviators from the ranks of the allies, while Be- tune and other towns in northern France have received attention from the Germans.

ROBSON PLEASED WITH OUTCOME 0F
 PROHIBITION FIGHT
Urged By Supporters to Seek Presidency-Will At tempt to Make Issue a
 National One in 1916


 Washington, December 2s-(Special.) Probably the most chipper survivor of the prohibition fracas is Representative Hobson. whose defeat was softened to- day by almost dozen nominations for the presidency. in person, by wire and by mail. Some urged him to run on the democratic ticket. some on the prohibit tion and some at the head of composite ballot.
 Although he felt complimented by the suggestion. Captain Hobson brushed the idea aside and declared he had not been looking for political preferment through his fight. but had been working for a principle. Also, he asserted that the pro- hihition fight had just started and would be made . national issue in 1916. From the tenor of Hobsons remarks on the floor yesterday, a feeling pre- vails that the temperance element may endeavor to nominate sympathetic can- didate on the democratic ticket. At all events. 'Hobson and his friends say they are determined to have an administra- ton in concord with their views, all though Hobson himself remains a staunch democrat.
 Fight Just Begun
 And that the fight has just started Is also the view of many veterans in both political parties. who predict that the fire has just begun to flame. instead of fading toward extinction.
 Of all the speeches yesterday. the greatest were those of Underwood .and Hobson. Indeed. they were the only really great speeches of the day. Un- derwood was forceful and convincing, and Hobson was dramatic to the verge of pyrotechnics. Each presented his cause clearly and distinctly. and the friends of each had good words for the other.
 May Seek Senate
 Suggestions also were made today that Hobson might go into training to fight Senator Bankhead for his seat in the Senate, but this was not taken seriously. On the contrary. 1t h believed that Hob son now will ssttle down in Washing
