IN POLAND AGAIN
PetrOgrad Correspondent Says kais-

and Has Failed.
AUsTIAN ARMY IN RETREAT
Bomb ~ Dropped On kaiser's
Headquarters While He Was
Eating Xmas Dinner.

Petrograd, Dec. 30.--The cores
pondent for the London Morning Post
writes;
"From an authoritative source
learn that the main feature of the
German-Austrian second invasion Of
Russia's cockpit---Poland--is the ap-
palling losses they have incurred.
Reckoning the whole strategic front
from the Baltic to the Carpathians
and as far as the frontiers of Ruman-
ia, the losses suffered by the Ger
mans and Austrians together have
surpassed anything ever heard Of in
history.
one-eighth of the German forces
persisted in three weeks and many
were taken prisoners, the writer as
serts. The Russian defenses before
Warsaw held like rock and beat the
enemy back repeatedly, he says.
Petrograd, Dec. 80 (via London) ~
The retreat of the Austrian army in
Galicia, along the Lisko-Sabok-
Dukla-Zmigrod front is described Of
ficially here as more and more pre-
cipitate and disorderly. The retreat
ing forces are estimated unofficially
as numbering about 175,000 men.
London, Dec. 3O.--The Daily Ex-
press's Amsterdam correspondent
SAYS that travellers from Berlin say It
is reported there that an airman
dropped bombs on the kaiser's head
quarters while the emperor was eat

exploded within two hundred yards Of

now TO ASSIST UNEMPLOYED.

Referring to the Importance of
finding work for the unemployed dur
ing the winter, the Saturday Evening
Post editorially says:
Every commercial country has
banking reserve-a certain large sum
in gold that is set apart and lies un-
touched from month to month and
year to year in odinary times, but
which may be drawn on in an emer-
gehcy. Thus, in the war crisis gold
that may have lain unmoved for long
period passed out of the Bank of
England.
We believe IL would be possible for
a country to create an industrial re-
serve. Every important nations
labor statistics show pretty constant
recurrence Of unemployment. For
three or four years labor may be
quite fully employed. Then business
sackens and the number Of men out
of work rises until times improve,
These recurring seasons of large un-
employment take a heavy toll OF
labor. Savings disappear; debts ac-
cumulate; families formerly self-sup-
porting become dependent.
AS matter Of fact we know the
dull seasons are going to recur, be-
cause they always have. In every
country there is a vast deal of public
work done by the cities, states ano
central governments.ln every country
the public employs labor most freely
exactly when private employers do
that is. when times are good anI
credit is easy. When times are poo
and bonds not easily salable the pub
lie cuts down employment. 1t ough
to be the other way. By intelllgen
forethought it might be made So
public work, that is, might be mad
sort of industrial reserveto fall bac
on when private work slackened'
