Thinks Extra Duty should Replace
Fines As Punishment.

Police Commissioner Woods gave out
yesterday the semt-annual report OF the
Police Department. containing an account
Of the reforms accomplished and reor-
ganization plans contemplated.
He severely criticises the three platoon
law, under which policeman is not al
lowed to do more than eight hours patrol
duty in one day, as the cause of loss of
efficiency. Tho Legislature will be asked
to amend the law. The Commissioner be-
leves extra patrol duty should be given
TO policemen as punishment instead of
the present method OF imposing fines,
which Injuries the family OF the man
more than himself.
A plan is being worked out to change
the present method of promotion
AT present faithfulness In police work
day by day. In rain or shine, does not
help a man in the slightest degree toward
promotion" the Commissioner says
Under the new plan the records Of
policemen will be taken into account

PETRoGRAD, Nov. A-(Via London)-
The Russians, according to dependable

halted the advancing German right wing
along a line stretching from a point a
few miles to the northwest OF Lodz to
the southwest of that city. at the same
time forcing the evacuation of five towns
In this locality.
In addition TO the battle fronts already
established. one to the north OF the

Vistuia and the warta, the Germans are
DEVELOPING a third attacking column TO

TIDE OF BATTLE
IN POLAND TURNS
IN CZAR'S FAVOR

of the German defeat was not known
hsre. the very fact that General Won
Hndenburg had been checked. was by
far the biggest feature OF todays war
news. The same dispatches that tell OF
his reverses however. say that the Ger
man achievements were being brought
up so that another great battle e likely
to develop on a line near to the frontier
OF Posen. where the Germans will have
the same chances OF renewing a vigorous
offensive as had the Russians in the
present instance.
General Won Hindenburg has about
400 600 men. but IL the Petrograd report
can be accepted, they have been sep
arated, badly cut up and thousands
taken prisoners, so these German forces
will require reformation and rest.
More CannOnadinE In West.
In the western arena of the war the
present lines of battle seem to be frozen

the wintry weather conditions. Rheims,
SCISSORS and Ypres continue to suffer
from the cannonading Of the Germans
that has been going on for weeks, but
there has been no renewal OF the con-
centrated German attempt to break
