London, Dec. 30-British observers
of the progress of the war point to
the admission in the Austrian official
announcement that Russia is once
more master of the Carpathian passes
and that troops along the Austrian
front from the Biala river to point
northeast of the Dukla pass seem to
be falling back, as marking another
surprising reversal of form on the
part of the Austrian soldiers, whose
battle fortunes since the outbreak OF
the war have been conspicuously er
ratio
The Petrograd war Office states that
the Germans who have been pressing
forward in Poland have been repulsed
with heavy losses, and adds that the
Austrian defeat in Galicia breaks ur
the maneuver aiming at a combined
AustrO- German attack on the southern
forces of the Russians. which if sue
cessful would have imperiled the Rus
sian left wing.
The Petrograd reports admit, how
ever, that they have not crossed the
Dunajec river in Galcia or the Nida
river in Southern Poland, and the Rus
SLAMS seem to be directing their heav-
lest blows at the Austrian armies at
the foot of the Galician Carpathians.
Berlin, however, views the situation
In the East with optimism, intimating
that important developments in Po-
land may be expected shortly. Prog
ress is reported in German attacks on
the BZura and Rawka rivers.
Violent Storm in the West.
Fighting In the western theater has
been interrupted by violent storm.
Notwithstanding this hindrance fur
ther progress has been made by the al.
lies, according to the French war Of
flee. The British press comedies the
Importance of the trenches near Hol-
lebeke, south of Ypres, which have
been taken by the Germans and points
out that the strategic value of these
positions has been emphasized recent
ly in a dispatch from Sir John French,
the British commander. .-
These trenches command an impor-
tant crossing of the River Lys, to
which the Germans have been hold
ing tenaciously. The taking Of the
British trenches gives the Germans a
stronger foothold in this region.
The French official announcement
refers to comparatively minor French
successes and mentions violent bonn
bardment of certain French positions
by German artillery. The French have
occupied St. Georges, Belgium, and
report gains in the Argonne and sue
cess in the movement to invest Stein
bach, in Upper Alsace. German bonn
bardments are reported from the Lys
to the Somme rivers, in the vicinity
of Rehelle, at St. Aubin, at LIE Ques-
noy and at Pouchoir, to the northwest
of Roye. Calm is reported on the
front between the Somme and the
Argonne. On the heights of the
Meuse German counter attacks were
repulsed northeast of TrOyOn.

PLAN ADOPTED IN cLAssRooMs
Effort is to Establish Single Admin

(By J. s. Pardee. !

St. Paul, Dec. 30.-( Especial to the
Pioneer. )-The Minnesota efficiency
commissions final report is being
studied in a number of states. Gov
ernors have asked for copies as ba-
sis for recommendations in their mes
|sages to the legislature Sponsors
for legislation of this sort in several
states have written, that they were
studying the Minnesota report with
a view of proposing something sim
liar for their own states The list
SO far includes, Alabama, Oklahoma.
Colorado, Washington Iowa and one
or two others.
Adopted in Classrooms.
Not only that, but the Minnesota
report has been adopted for class
room purposes by James E. Boyle,
professor Of economics, state univer-
sity, Grand Forks, N. D., and Clyde
T.. King, assistant professor in poll
tical science, University Of Pennsyl-
vania, Philadelphia, Pa
According to the political scien-
fists, the Minnesota report. II moth
ing else, is good study in the draft
of legislative plan.
Benefit of Experience.
Minnesota today is on q compare
lively good basis. For example, Illi-
nois and Massachusetts are trying to
frame legislation that will put the
institutions in as good a position as
was gained for them in Minnesota in
1901, when the board of control plan
was adopted in this state. Mime
sofa, nearly fifteen years ago, got to
the point which other states are try
ing to reach now. With the benefit
of that experience, Minnesota In It's
efficiency plan Is trying to take an
other long step forward and establish
a single administration for all the
states business.
Are Vital Reasons.
The way we have been handling
these things in Minnesota-the same
is true in every other state-every
time a new activity was proposed,
a separate little government has
been set up to take charge of it. The
opposition to the new plan comes
mainly from people, who, like the
hoard of control or the state board
of health, wish to retain a separate
government for the field now under
their Jurisdiction. #
Perhaps that should be done. Per-
haps there are valid reasons why
there should not be business or
ganization of the states business.
But if business organization is
really wanted, it must, to be effec-
tive, take in the care of the institu-
Ftions, the administration of health
work and every other state activity.
To do that, it will be necessary to
adopt the plan of the efficiency com
mission or it's equivalent. Business
men who have examined the plan al
most invariably agree that the bust
ness form of organization is desirable
and necessary.

THRILLING COMEDY DRAMA.
Brattleboro Teachers Arrange to Have
Notable Moving Picture Play

Brewster S Millions, the thrilling
humorous comedy drama which enjoyed
a vogue of many months on Broadway,
is now produced as a motion picture
drama in five parts with Edward
Abeles, the original star of the piece,
playing the role of Monty in which he
appeared 1900 times in New York. As
a play Brewster Millions is one OF
1.-THE most successful and as a motion
fpicture drama it is considerably more
interesting in that the five parts are
composed of more than 200 scenes that
show the life of the hero from birth
Iup to the time he is compelled to
spend million dollars to earn seven
millions.
/ The story of Brewster S Millions is a
brilliant and interesting one and
makes a capital screen drama. 1t is
to be shown in the Princess theater
