Germans Make Advance to-
ward Capital But Russians
Take New Positions.
HARD FIGHTING TO COME
Before It is Determined Wheth-
4 er Latest Attempt to Occupy
Warsaw win Be Success.

!, LONDON, Dec. 21.-The great battle
20 the west OF Warsaw has yet to be
fought out Judging from the indica-
lions conveyed In recent dispatches
10 Benin and Petrograd.
1t appears today to Eritish military
observers that the German contention
that General Won Hindenberg has
scored success over the Russians must
be qualified. A parallel case Is found
in the recent claims of crushing
Russian victory near LODI, which sub
scquently proved to be premature and
exaggerated.
The German army commanded by
General Won Hindenberg has made a
steady advance in the direction OF the
Polish capital but the Russians in
falling back appear to have taken
new positions In strong entrenchments
and in spite OF the fact that the in
vaders are within two or three days
march Of Warsaw, there is good rea-
son to believe that much hard fight
ing must come before 1t can be de-
termined whether or not this latest
attempt to occupy Warsaw will be
crowned with success.
Along the southern frontier OF East
Prussia the Russians claim to have
the upper hand but further to the
south In southern Poland as we'll as
in Galicia the leaders of the Austro-
German forces declare they are
sweeping the Russians before them
They assert further that they have
cleared all Russians out Of west
Ga1icia. This means that the long
siege Of Cracow has been raised and
II this advance on the part of the
Teuton allies continues II may bring
similar relief to the Austrian garri-
son at Przemysl, besieged by the Rus
SLAMS since the carly days OF the war.
A vigorous Austrian offensive IN
this arena OF hostilities has necessi-
tated the withdrawal OF many troops
heretofore used against Servia and
there are indications that the Austrian
attempts to crush Seryia will, for the
time, be abandoned.
Emperor William has so far re-
covered from his recent illness as to
return to the front, where he will
spend Christmas. The dispatches
from Germany do not say to which
front His Majesty has gone but earlier
adviees from Berlin lead to the belief
that he has turned westward.
A prominent neutral traveller, who
reached London today from Berlin, ex-
pressed the opinion that the Germans
are not thinking seriously of Zep-
pelin invasion of England. According
TO this observer they regard the ap-
prehension and precaution against
Zeppelin attacks taken in London and
other English cities as great joke.

ed by Judge A. G. Dayton to
Be Entered.

Judge A. G. Dayton. of federal
court, has directed that on an order
he entered at Wheeling dismissing
the suit of Andrew w. Mcdonald VS..
the county court of Hancock county.
This suit was in assumpsit for $780,
900 damages and was stricken from
the docket on the request OF the
plaintiff. Although this fact was not
stated in the order 1t is understood
that the case was compromised.
The court has also handed down an
opinion in the equity suit of the De
troit Steel Cooperage Company VS..
the Sistersville Brewing Company in
which the costs were transferred from
the plaintiff to the portion of the pro-
ceeds from the sale Of tanks due the
holders Of bonds issued by the defend
ant company. This case has been
through the higher courts and has
attracted considerable attention. The
opinion has been submitted to con-
tending counsel for their considera-
tion and guidance in preparing a de-
cree which will end the litigation.

Cleveland Hotel.


CLEVELAND, Dec. 21-William j.
Troy, SO, proprietor of several hotels,
was found stabbed to death in room
in the Troy hotel here early today
There was a half dozen stob wounds
in his body. The fact that over
5000 of Troy's money and diamond
ring were reported missing. caused
the police to work on the theory that
robbery prompted the crime. The
suicide theory, however. has not
been abandoned.
The police were told Of the death
of the hotel owner by woman's s
voice over the telephone. which said,
"Our old friend is dead. Been stab

over and look at him" Who called

Shoes Made Like Tires

From the New York Times.
 Taking its cue from the automobile tire industry, the process of making rubber boots and shoes Is to undergo radical change at the hands of one of the large manufacturers. Up to the present time the process of making rubber boots and shoes has been to lay the rubber upon the fabric by hand and vulcanize with out pressure. Tire manufacturers have long felt that if they could make lum- bermans shoe, like motor car tires fitted to withstand many thousand miles of travel over the surfaces of rough roads. a bit of footgear would be produced far beyond the best at present known in point of durability.
 A way to do this has been devised by one of the largest rubber companies, which has it's factories in Ohio, and 1t will make its rubber footwear hereafter by the unit construction. high pressure process In this the rubber and the fabric are welded together under tremendous pressure and vulcanized into single unit, so that each actually becomes part of the other and leaks, cracks and peeling are minimized almost to the vanishing point. Shoes made in this way will have much of the toughness and durability of the automobile tire. 1t is believed

PIaying Phone Faxorites

Brooklyn landlords report an addi- tion to the flat house graft list. This is the switching through of telephone lines to tenants apartments after the switchboard is supposed to have been closed for the night, says the New York Sun Inquiry made by several owners has revealed that a tidy little sum Is netted by jaintors every month through this new species of favoritism.
 In thousands of flats the switbroad closes down at 10 p. m. After that hour 1t Is supposed to be impossible for calls to be received or sent out from the flat. Should the flat house be called central will ring the number after 10 p. m, but the janitor Is supposed to have closed the switchboard for the night Z there will be no response.
 i But there will be a response if you tip the janitor of the flat in which this new graft scheme Is practiced. ] This works no injustice to the other i tenants, however, for they had reckoned i only on the telephone convenience up to 10 p. m. But it is contrary to the rules of the landlord and has to be worked Ion the quiet" When it is put fin play a great many mistakes are liable to happen.
 For instance, any one who rings up the flat from the outside after 10 p. m. gets a response from the favored ten ant and then the trouble begins. He Is told to keep off and that the tele- Iphine is shut off for the night This doesn't do for an explanation. and so a discussion begins, the information operator is called in; then the mana l,ger. who tries to get tDs janitor. and (iQally the telephones are put on the
 ks with everybody disgusted. Some

CALLAHAN STARTS
 BOUT WITH CARROLL. Vol Outfielder Loses Temper When Touched on Nose
 Apologies to Carroll

The morning game assumed a lively outlook in the second inning when Dave Callahan, the Nashville outfielder. led off one-round bout with Charlie Carroll with a fast right hook, followed by swift left to the head. Before Carroll could counter. Referee Bill Schwartz stepped between the combatants and stopped the fstc encounter. Empires Rudderham and Fifeld immediately ban ished the wrathy outfielder. He was re- placed by Manager Schwartz.
 The scrap was preciptated by Carroll touching Callahan rather roughly on his nose as he slid into third base in the second inning. Callahan slid late into the sack in attempting to reach third from first on a single, and Carroll just had time to swing at him. Unfortunately. evidently a bit heavy. Callahan arose from the dust, angered. and swung twice at the Baron third-sacker.
 Dave, who has seldom appeared in the rowdy role. appeared at the Baron dress ing room shortly after the game and made profuse apology to Carroll, before the entire club, for having lost his temper Callahan seemed deeply chagrined at his performance.
 Shortly after the fight an officer placed Callahan under arrest and the Vol gar dener will have to appear before court on his next appearance in Birmingham He was allowed to play in the after noon game.

Rivers knocked McCue down in the first round. In the second blow to the jaw sent McCue to the floor again and while the referee counted, Mccue's seconds threw a towel into the ring in token of defeat.
 McCue apparently was awed. He did little except try to cover up, while Rivers easily broke his weak defense. When his manager threw sponge into the ring McCue cried
 "He didn't knock me out! He didn't knock me out"
 The men entered the ring at catch weights with Rivers the heavier by two or three pounds.
 McCue was training partner of Ad Wolgast. whose broken arm prevented his meeting Rivers.
