CHRISTMAS NOVELTY
Dance DELIGHTS MANY

One of the largest and most attrac-
tive dances OF the season was given last
night when Mrs. Fred Snyder entertain
ed her dancing classes and large num-
Der of friends at a Christmas novelty
dance in the y. M. ii. A. Hall, Third
and King streets. Mrs. Snyder. who
gives novelty dance every month, al
ways makes a speciality of decorating
and the hall last night never looked
prettior, the decorations being festoons
of Christmas greens and tiny Christmas
bells, while red and green electric lights
were used. In addition to the dancers
themselves, there was q large number
OF spectators present, the balconies be-
ing filled with an interested crowd.
Announcement was made last night
OF New Years dance, to be given this
Thursday night when those who come
will dance the old year out and the new
year in. Mrs. Snyder will give another
novelty dance some time next month.
All the latest dances are taught by Mrs
Snyder, who has studied under several
OF the most prominent dancing masters.
The cantor, however, seems TO be the
most popular dance at present and last
night it was danced frequently, though
the one step hesitation and all the
Others were also executed.

The war must continue until Eng

Germany This is what NOrthcliffe
means. He interprets the English
spirit as being beyond hope Of COM

enemy England is preparing to be.

MARSHAL TOWNSEND
OUSTED FRON Office
Continned From First &c.

made that Marshal Townsend be inform
ed officially OF the cause for Ousting him.
Should this be done and the Reunblican
National Committee get behind the
Townsend case. it could be made a ma
tional issue that might prove discon-
certing TO the Wilson administration.
Meanwhile Ralph 1. Finn and John
NJ. Mitchell. deputy marshals, were
attending to their duties at the mar
shal's Office at noon today. They
said they had received no word OF
any action ousting them, but evident
ly they were expecting the Demo-
cratic axe TO chop off their heads, too.
They were appointed by Marshal
townsend, at $1,000 year Mr..
Films position was under civil SER
vice until the Democratic admins
tration lifted it out OF the classified
service. Il is expected that Mar
shall Fairy as soon as possible will
remove Deputies Finn and Mitchell
and name two good Democrats" for
their places.
Marshal Townsend was appointed on
April II, 1912, for four years, "sub-
ioct TO the conditions imposed by law"
He took office May /, 1912 He receiv-
ed $1,000 a year. A singular feature
OF his removal is that it took place
three days before the ending of the
quarter, and will cause confusion in
making ont the official reports of the
Office
Many Democrats who disapprove of
Senator Saulsbury's action in having
Marshal Townsend's official head sever
ed said today they could not under
stand what the party would gain.
They fear the next National Ad-
ministration viii be Republican, and
Che action in the Townsend case may
be used az a precedent for reprisals
and the summary removal of the
present administration appointees
throughout the entire country. Not
only that, but some Democrats fear
the Townsend case may cause the
Republicans to oust Democrats from
the service of the various depart
ments in this city. AS one disgusted
Democrat expressed il today, "Sauls-
bury certainly is making a mess Of
it."

Germans FAIL TO
HALT RUSSIAN Advance
BY The United Press.

by Inc United llesa.
PETROGRAD, Dec. 99.-Complete
failure has marked the efforts of the
Germans TO check the Russian advance
at half a dozen points on the long
battle line, according to the general
staff reports. The combined German
Austrian offensive has been turned i'm
to a stubborn defense with the Rus
slams pressing wedges into the dual
line. The positive declaration was
again made today that not only was
Warsaw no longer menaced but that
the Austrian-German right wing was
in grave danger of being enveloped
and crushed as the result Of the flank
ing attack delivered by the army
which has been operating against
Cracow.
The Austrians tried a thanking
movement along the Biala river north
of Tarnow in conjunction with a Ger
man force operating well TO the north
ward. The movement war reported
by Russian airmen and confirmed by
the appearance of General Boehm-Er-
mollrs troops on the railroad line
near Lisko. A Russian army of 100,-
900 men was Immediately rushed south
and attacked the Austrians. driving a
wedge between the two main Aus
trian armies.
The official reports agree that
while the chief German positions are
still strongly held there has been a
distinct checking of their initiative
and indications are reported at a num-
Der of points that point to a general
withdrawal 10 the reserve trenches
heretofore constructed well in the

that it is much harder to root out

Let us try to keep the high ideals

strive for perfection and resolve to
