WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED By THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Dec. Especial; The
pendulum of war apparently has
swung back again in favor of the
Russians in the eastern zone of hos
tilities.
An official report from Petrograd
declares the Russians have repulsed
two units of Field Marshal o Hin
denburg's army-near Miawa and
Lowicz - administering enormous
casualties and taking many prisoners
and guns. At some places on the Mi
ava front and before Lowicz the Rus
slams assert that the Germans made
fierce attacks, but hat these were re-
Ipulsed and the Germans retreated in
| disorder.
Near Lowiez, according to the Rus
| sian statement, the Muscoyites per
| mitted the Germans TO approach very
near to their trenches and then put
them to flight with a gallant fire.
Successes also are claimed by the
Russians to the south of Cracow,
where, however, the Germans are
said to be stubbornly resisting.
That Germany realized that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg's brilliant
%maneuvers which brought the Ger
mans almost before Warsaw again.
after they had been thrown back to
the East Prussian frontier, was not
a decisive victory, was acknowledged
i'm a statement of he German official
press bureau.
Dealing with the situation in the
vicinity of Lodz, the statement said
the resistance of the Russians lis by
no lea broken" and that much
yet remains to be done before the
Russians can be considered definitely
defeated"
i The Servians continue TO assert
that they have administered a crush
ing defeat to the Austrians and taker
large numbers of prisoners and grea'
Quantities of war materials. On theil
side the Austrians say no new ma
terial events have occurred in Servia
and that the reorganization of the
Austrian forces is progressing with
out heavy battles resulting.
Fighting continues in France ant
Belgium at various points and claims
of advantages secured are made b!
both the contenders. After having
admitted the loss of trenches In thu
| region Of Ypres. the latest French re
port declares these again have beel
reoccupied by the allies.
With the return OF the French gov
eminent to Paris from Bordeaux

!, duty over the capital to ward of pos
: sible attacks by hostile air craft.
In France 100000 youths of tn
, class OF 1915 have gone into trainin'
in the military camps and barracks
: 1t is expected they will be ready TO
the campaign in the spring.

WHEN JOHN L. BROKE AWAY"
In Eight Years of Abstinence From John 5arIeyeorn the Former FU-
 giIist Has Saved $1oo,0oo.

Eight years ago almost to a day John L. Sullivan, unshaven and un- kempt, emerged from a bar of the Grand hotel at Broadway and Thir- tieth street, stood for a moment look ing back at the door, and then walked uncertainty uptown. It was o'clock in the evening, and the former pugi- list brushed shoulders with we'll groomed people hurrying to the thea ters. He was the derelict in the stream On his face there was a half smile, but it wasn't pleasant one.
 At the corner of Thirteenth street he met "Morry" Cohen and a newspa- per man, with both of whom he was acquainted. He growled something in- coherent in response to their greeting, and was apparently about to pass on. But he paused and turned toward t em.
 I've just been turned down in that barroom for a drink" he said. 'fI wanted one drink more and didn't have the price, They didn't give it to me. They put me out. They didn't send the proprietor or the manager to put me out. They sent the porter. I've spent $5,o00 over that bar. And they put me out because wanted a drink and couldn't pay for it. There's only one thing you can figure out of propo- sition like that Quit drinking! To night I quit"
 The former champions friends ex- pressed indignation over the treatment he had received. It reused no spark of anger in "the big fellow" He was too filled with the sense of shame and modification. Still breeding over the indignity he had suffered, he accom- panied Cohen and the newspaper man to Murphy's saloon, at Sixth avenue and Thirtieth street. Cohen ordered a drink. Sullivan filled his whisky glass to the brim
 Boys" said he, here's the last for me"
 That's the true story of John L. Sul- livan's last drink. Eight years have passed, and the John L. Sullivan who was tottering on the edge of the gutter looks eight years younger today than he did that night. And he has $1OO,- O00.-New York Correspondence to Times-Star.

Despondency Due to Indigestion

I tried every thing that 1 heard of to get re- lief, but not until about, year ago when I saw Chamberlain s Tablets advertised and got a bottle of them. did I find the right treatment. 1 soon began to improve, and since taking a few bottles of them my diges tion is fine.

Forest SerUice Notes

Forbach, Germany, is said to have the most profitable town forest known; it yields an an- nual net gain of $12.15 an acre.
 Apple wood, used almost ex- cluslvely for saw handles. also furnishes the material for many so-called brier- wood pipes and particularly for the large wooden type used in printing signs and posters.
 One of the most expenslye woods used regularly in an es- tablished industry in the United States IS boxwood. the favorite material for wood engraving. It has been quoted at four cents a cubic inch, and about $1, 800 by by the thousand board feet.
 What is supposed to be record speed in getting men to a forest fire is reported from Oregon. where on one of the national forests, a ranger went to town, hired ton men, and got this force to the fire twelve miles away within 45 minutes after he was notified by telephone.

Two Sple adid Institutes.

Mr.. P. \. Lott, the county
agent, was part leu
larly grati6ed by the large attend
ance upon the farmers Institutes at
Cleora and at McKendree and the
spirit that was manifested by the
farmers of those communities. BY
common consent the specialists who
made the tour in conducting the
Institutes voted these two the best
in the state. The one at Cleora has
been pronounced as approaching
very near to the ideal institute. We
are pleased to report that the peo-
pie are greatly enthused and have
already decided to make 1t an an

large free barbecue. The Advertiser
pledges its support in making the

that resolves to prosecute the lnstl-
tute work from year to year.

painting often enough or even too
often. One, to look prosperous; two,

Nothing does one more credit OF

goes with it, the paint costs moth

True. the first cost is So or Sc

than that in the property; saves 1t
from slow going-down-not always

Alcohol and Efficiency.

A strong testimony to the oan-
gers of the use of alcohol ls made
by the management CT the Penn
sylvania railroad, which some
months ago issued a strict order
against the use of intoxicants by
any of it's employees. Absolute alb
stinence from intoxicating liquors
is now required of every employe
of this railroad while on duty, and
the frequenting of places where
liquor is sold is also forbidden. Ihe
railroad company let. it be under
stood that this order was given
to be obeyed and every precaution
has been taken to see that 1t Is
obeyed.
After certain observations had
been taken, covering a long period
of time, the management has Just
issued statement that challenges
tie attention of all right thinking
people.
Inspections were made during
the month of February on each Of
the twenty-five divisions of the
railroad, the conduct of l25,000
employees was carefully observed,
and the inspectors reported not one
violation of important rules. They
attributed this largely TO the dis.
use of intoxicsnts by the employees
of the road.
These facts stand out with great
significance and it may with conf
dence be asserted that few advo-
Gates of so-called " personal liber-
ty" will go so far as to recommend
that this order should be rescinded
and the conductors, switchmen, tel
egrsph operators and clerks should
be permitted to use intoxicants
while on duty simply because to
forbid it to them, as is often
alleged, is "unjustitiable interfer.
ence with the liberty of the indl-
vidual."
If the abstinence of men charged
with great responsibility in connec-
tion with a great railroad corpora
tion produces such good results,
should it be considered an unwise
thing that the secretary of our ma
Wv has forbidden the officers en-
trusted with the care of the delicate
machinery of our ships of war and
the safe navigation of the vessels
composing her navy, to use intoxl-
cants while on duty at sea? The
secretary of the navy, Mr.. Daniels,
has simply shown the same kind
of sound common sense in issuing
his order that has proved such a
blessing to the great Pennsylvania
railroad system.
The plea of personal liberty"
will scarcely avail with right think
ing people, when the inter-relation
of people in modern civilization is
kept in mind, mo man liveth unto
himself" and no man charged with
great responsibilities. carrying the
lives of others in his keeping, should
be permitted to indulge in intoXlca-
ting liquors that rob his brain OF
its power to do intelligently the du-
ties that are laid upon him.-Chrls-
