SSiSiiiiii5da b. kaSd.
Great Army 10 Cut OF From Sup
ply Of Food and Ammnnifion;
Surrender bg ThoasandS

I.ondon-The Petrograd correspond
ent Of the Morning Post says tha
when the full details Of the Russian
victory In Poland are available they
will furnish a story that will astonisi
the world--a story telling Of blow tc
Germany's finest troops such as had
not been dealt since the days OF Ma
poleon.
The Daily Mails Petrograd cores
pondent, who, In common with other
Petrograd correspondents, hints that
there is to come still bigger news
which they are unable at this time to
transmit, says the possibility which
seemed to exist that the German forces
which escaped the enveloping move
ment east Of Lodx would succeed In
breaking through near Strykow and
joining the rest Of the German forces
now appears hopeless.
This German force. adds the cores
pondent, Is fighting its way back in
the direction Of the Vistula, under a
terrible artillery fire. which Is causing
an appalling loss Of life. The Ger
mans are reported to be short Of both
food and SHELLS, as q result Of being
cut off from their base.
The following statement from the
Russian general staff was made public
toin Petrograd Friday night:
''0n the left bank Of the Vistula our
troops, advancing from the lower part
Of the Bxura river, have reached Com
bin.
"In the center Of the battle line we
captured the town of Brzeziny and the
villages in the valley Of the Mroga
river. In some places We dislodged
the Germans by bayonet attacks. Our
offensive in this region continues.
Between Brzeziny and Glowno our
succeeded in several charges
against the German infantry. During
the retreat Of the enemy we captured
number Of field guns. some with
their teams complete. We are COM
putting the number Of prisoners cap
tured.
Among the German troops we
pushed back from Rxgow and Tusxyn
toward Brxeziny was a division Of the
Prussian Guard.
''In the region Of Sgiers and Stry-
kow we attacked the Germans toward
Lodz. Between Sgiers and Zdunska
VIOLA some German troops are still
holding themselves in their trenches.
''In general, between the Vistula
and the Warta, the fighting is favor |
able to our arms"
A Rome dispatch says the Russian |
embassy announces that the battle Of
Lodz has been renewed with fresh |
forces. Several German divisions
were annihilated and many German
generals were killed, it adds: The
German front has been broken in sew
eral places and decision is imminent.
One German corps, including nearly |
so, 900 men, having surrendered, sec
ond corps that has been cut of from |
the main army in the battle Of Lodz, |
Russian Poland, was completely routed,

Berlin - Dispatches appearing in

that molestation Of Italian shipping by
the French is part Of systematic
plan of the French to divert the mari
time trade Of Genoa TO Marseilles.
Word comes from Rome that in North
ern Italy there is much feeling against
England, many foundries being closed
because Of the seizure of copper and
lead. British imports in October, ac-
cording to Rome reports, decreased 40
per cent, and the exports go per cent,

Peace Talk Denounced.

Berlin, via London - The Cologne
Gazette declares that the reports of
German desire for peace, which it
says are probably inspired by the
British, belong to the region of
higher political idiocy." ''The posi-
tion of the Germans, neither in the
East nor West" it continues, "is crit
ical. German military undertakings on
all the battlefelds are progressing ia
vorably. Neither the military nor the
political situation contains any reason
which might make Germany desirous
to conclude peace."

Assuming that one man and three
horses with q sIx.foot binder can cut
Ii6 acres In ten hours. we deduce that
cost OF labor per acre IL 80 cents.
As against these items let US sup
pose that the farmer could hire the
grain cut for one dollar per acre.
The above data gives us the conclu-
sion, by elementary algebra that
man should cut an average of 65 acres
annually before the purchase OF
binder will save him money.

Child Severely Injured

Ronald, the two years old son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. H. Ring of Wolcott, was Sc
verely injured last Sunday by a horse
the exact particulars of the accident not
being definitely known. The child was
playing near the barn when Mr.. Ring
drove the horses to the watering trough.
The father then busted himself about the
barn and supposed the horses were at
the trough until he heard the child cry.
when he discovered that one of the
horses had struck the little fellow with
his foot, infiicting a deep cash from the
temple to the back Of the head. The
injury was so severe that the local physi-
clan took the child to the Holden Hospi-
tai in Hardwick where the wound was
dressed. 1t was expected that the child
would be taken home the middle of this
week. Mr.. Ring thinks the side of the
animals shoe struck the l;ttle boy as it
was stamping off the flies.
