Florists Protest,
A protest is said to have been made
to the managers OF the department
store by the florists against the spe-

sent with this protest. Then a number
OF the flower shop keepers announced
that they would sell certain kinds OF
flowers on certain days at cut prices,
the prices being even lower than those
of the department store. went

The manager Of the department store
fired a vOlley in the war OF ~carnatlons

merchandising was to give the people
who traded at his store what they
wanted, and if they wanted flowers he
would sell them flowers.

as to how France is conducting the war.
First he sent to Audveichy, south of
Quesnoy -Santerre, where he watched
the attack of the French troops, as well
as the action of 3-inch guns and heavy
artillery.
Then he saw how the armies were op-
Grating from the Lys to the Disc. He
also inquired as to the sanitary and pos

distribution of warm clothing, etc.
The President took occasion to confer a
number of military medals A severely
wounded French soldier, supported by
two comrades. received the decoration of

Petrograd, Nov. 5.--The following

Petrograd, via London, Nov. ., 4.So A
M.--The new position of the German
army front along the river Warthe,
over IS miles west of the Vistula riV-
er. which they reached at. the time of
tho attempted attack on Warsaw in
dicates the tremendous retreat of Ger
eral Won Hindenberg's entire army
in Poland during the past two weeks.
This retreat is regarded as especially
important since such noted industrial
centers as Lodz, Pietrkow, Radon
and Kielce are recaptured by the Rus
SLAMS. The strategic point at Sandomir,
at the junction of the San and Vistuia
rivers, has also been re-taken.
There is particular elation over
Russia's advance since there now
seems little possibility of the Ger
mans regaining the lost territory
through any improvement of the
roads, the condition of which was re-
gardeo as a large factor of the Ger
man failure. The improvement of the
roads is considered more than counter
balanced by the enormous Russian
reinforcements since received. While

HARD FIGHTING BY BOTH ARMIES
TO CONTROL DIxMUDE AND LYS

Paris, Nov. 5.-Renewed violent at
tacks on the part of the Germans were
expected today in the region between
Dixmude and the Lys.
The recent efforts of the enemy in
this section of the country in spite
of the fact that they have been re-
inforced by new contingents Of re-
serves as well as active troops are
believed here to have been unsuccess-
full.
According to the latest review of the
situation made in Paris, both the AL
lies and the Germans are fighting hard
for every inch of this territory. The
Germans, for the time being, would
appear to have abandoned their adj
vance on the channel ports. This be-
ing accepted as correct, the Germans
are preparing to try other tactics.
The French and English commanders,
in the opinion of French observers,
are satisfied with the result of the eff
forts they made yesterday, as well as
with the general situation.

TREMENDOUS RETREAT OF GERMAN

month ago, were vacillating in their
sympathies, according to Petrograd
reports, all are now enthusiastically
with the victor.
On the East Prussian frontier the
Germans have met with no success in
assuming the aggressive and at some
points the Russians have even cross
ed into German territory. In this re-
gion, however, the German retreat was
not marked by serious losses.
Some of the military experts here
explain that the passing of the Ger
mans from the offensive to the defen-
sive is due to the reported withdrawal
of seven army corps from Poland to
the western theater of war.
While the retreat of the Austrians
operating in South Poland and Gall
cha is not so marked as that OF the
Germans. the official reports here in
dicate that they have moved percep-
tibly backwards. The suspension OF
the siege of Przemysl. which is much
acclaimed by the Austrians, is ex-
planned by the Russians as due to the
fear of exposing their army to the
cholera epidemic prevalent there.

Board ordered "a quarantine also to

pens are disihfected and pronounced
usable by the state board. The state
action puts absolute embargo not only
on the stoekyards. but also on all the

The meat packers said today there
would be no tie-up of the industry, nor
scarcity of meat and, except in the
killing and some mechanical depart
ments. no laying off of help, as the
present supplies of cattle were suffi-
Gent to keep the plants busy during
almost all the quarantine period.

tie. valued at $4,000, which were held
to blame for the presence of the dis
ease in Chicago, were destroyed.
Eighteen prize cattle out of lot of

French situation was good and ex-
pressed his hope that the combined
efforts of the Allies would bring final
success, has served further to arouse
confidence in France.
The question of the duration of the
war is being continuously asked in
France and as often answered. One
of the latest estimates is that made
by Gen. Berthaut. who predicts that
hostilities will be at an end in three
months. The general admits that the
siege of Sebastopol lasted two years,
but says there is no reason to con-
clude that the present war will run
such a protracted course. The rela-
lively small armies engaged in the
Crimean war made possible such pro-
longed contests. The general argues
that today one will see Germany, con-
fronted by the necessity of placing
enormous forces of men on two fronts,
reaching the point of exhaustion be-
fore either France of Russia, and that
this period of exhaustion may be ex-
pected in three months. France also
may be expected to reach the limit
of her resources, but not so quickly as
in the case of Germany.

but the Russian authorities say that
Turkeys coming into the war has al
ready been discounted. The first re-
ports of the fighting between the Rus
slams and the Turks are as conflict
ing as We're the first Austrian and
Russian accounts of the warfare in
Galicia. Each contender claims to
have invaded the others territory and
have defeated his frontier armies.
These fights, however probably have
been only advance guard affairs and
it is thought here that some time may
elapse before pitched battle takes
place. The Anglo French fleet con-
tinues to lombard the Dardanelles,
but the Turks say the warships have
inflicted no damage. In other parts of
Turkey British warships are being
kept busy. The government, how
ever, has ordered that Holy places
shall be respected by the British gun
fire so long as the Indian subjects
visiting them are not molested.
This necessity for respecting the
feelings of her Moslem subjects, it is
considered here, may hamper Great
Britain somewhat in the prosecution
of the war against Turkey, but with
her large Moslem population it cannot
be disregarded. In addition to the as
surances received from the Indian
princes, England has been informed
by the leaders of the Moslems in the
Malay states that her war against
Turkey will not affect the loyalty of
the Moslems to the Empire.
The result of the naval battle in the
Pacific between British and German
squadrons, details of which are still
lacking. naturally is the most dis
cussed subject of the war in England.
It is realized that the worst accounts,
which include the sinking of the Mon
mouth and the serious damage to the
Good Hope, probably are true.
1T is the price of the admiralty,
says the average Englishman of this
and other losses to ships that have
been sustained since the war COM
menced. The balance thus far is on
the side of Germany, but every Brit
Usher seems confident that when the
main fleets meet this discrepancy Will
be more than wiped out.
1t is expected here that should the
German fortress Of Tsing-Tau fall, the
British and Japanese vessels engag-
ed there will start out in an endeavor
to round up the eight or nine Ger
man cruisers still at large

A week ago yesterday the owner of the
farm received seven cows from Brighton,
Mass They were sent to Pawtucket by
rail and driven over the road to the farm.
Two of the seven have the disease and
two others show decided symptoms. A
milk route which has delivered milk in
Pawtucket and Attleboro was discontin-
uef today and guards will be placed
al oLnd the farm tomorrow and only MEM
bers of the family and farm hands will
be allowed on the premises. Massachu-
setts and probably Rhode Island will
probably be placed under quarantine sim

stock yards and in other states.
DR. Smith issued a warning today to
all the farmers of that section to call q
veterinary as soon as they notice any
illness among their. cattle The last time
the disease was prevalent to any extent
was in 1902, when hundreds of cattle
were killed by the government In Mass

will arrive tomorrow and not only the
Sumner stock. but. that of adjoining
farmers. will be carefully examined.
