out the ttitude Of Zapata
Toward Him.

FL Paso, Tex Nov. 27.--Gen. Villa
almost on the outskirts OF Mexico
City, felt out the ground before him
today carefully to learn whether
peace or war may be expected from
Zapata, the revolutionary chieftain,
who now controls the capital. Villa
sent from Tula, his present head
quarters, so miles north, a delega-
ton of officers to call On Zapatd and
arrange for the entry of Provisional
President Gutierrez and Cabinet and
Villas army Cen. Gutierrez and his
Cabinet Joined Villa at Tula today
Just where zapata was to be found

definite advice has been received to-
day as to the situation in Mexico
City, the administration officials
credit the report that Cen Villa S

London, Nov 27.-Whilc the be-
lief grows hourly that the Russians
in Northern Poland have won the
greatest battle OF the war, actual de-
tails of the operations in this local
ity still are withheld.
From Petr0grad comes report
that the patience of the Russian peo-
pie, awaiting official confirmation OF
the reported victory, is approaching
the breaking point. and the same
thing may be said of the public mere.
Berlin announces today that no de-
cision has been reached in the
struggle.
German reports, without entering
into any such details as dates, de-
scribe successful operations in the
region nj this great battle. 1t Is evil
dent that the comparative failure OF
the Austro-G German operations along
the Czenstochowa front gave tha
Russians opportunity to envelcp Non
llmdenDure after fhis hrillian. Ger
man leader had thrown a wedge into
his antagonists center. The Rus.
slams % the south, safe on their own
front, were able to strike northWard
thls breaking the enemy, who had
parsed east beyond their right tlank.
Military critics at Petrograd pro-
fess to he astonis he'd at the German
| assault on Lodz, maintaining that
such a movement made the repulse
OF the invaders inevitable The
critics declare that unless the Ger
, man advance toward Kutno anI Lodz
was part of larger movement. the
operation was too hazardous to be
credible. A third German army in
the vicinity of Wielun has initiated
an advance which is believed in Lon
con to have been started too late to
be of any use.
On the other battle fronts, quiet
prevails. Alons the Franco Belgian
line the opposing armies seell con-
tent TO face each other and nothing
has happened to indicate that the
Germans have started the expect tea

AN OFFICER At
SUBWAY WOULD
PREVENT CRIME
Commissioners Do Not Seem to
Realize the Importance Of
Special Officer Here,

The County Commissioners who
have blocked the Subway officer
matter" doubtless do not realize
that an officer on duty here could
prevent a great deal of crirle. An
officer in the vicin ty Of the Sub
way would pre7eAt crimes ia the
city as he could head off criminals
or would be on the job to stop them
on their retreat, as he could ne in
direct telephone communication at
all times.
The matter seems TO have been
dropped entirely and will probably
not come up again until some un-
fortunate is held up and robbed Or
may be killed.

OUR CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

The Republican issues its regular
holiday edition this week. The pa
per contains much of interest to the
public. Were it not for the liberal
support of the merchants of Audi
bon, we would not be able to issue
such handsome edition. They are
all alive and wide awake hustlers who
use the columns of this paper to in
vite the people of the county to pur-
chase their holiday goods from them.
We venture to say that no set of
merchants carry a better or more
complete line of holiday goods. We
believe. on the other hand that our
people appreciate their progressive
spirit and in turn will give them the
patronage they so abundantly de-
serve.
We wish to take this opportunity
of thanking the advertisers for their
liberal support, and we assure them
that this paper will leave nothing
undone to advance their interests.
We feel thankful to our subscribers
too, for their loyal support in giving
us the patronage that has placed the
Republicans subscription list ahead
of any other publication in the coun-
ty. We hope they will continue to
allow US to serve them during the
new year that is about to dawn. To
all we say Merry, Merry Christmas
and New Year full Of happiness and
prosperity.

INVADE TWO GERMAN FORTS

Yesterday crowd of stalwart Ger
mans to the number of fifteen in
vaded the homes of Mr.. and Mrs
w. Krauel and Mr.. and Mrs. Aug
ust Burr, not for the purpose of
fighting however, but to remind Mrs.
Krauel and Mr.. Burr that it was
their birthday anniversaries. They
first went to the Mrs. Krauel home
just before dinner and took her COM
pletely by surprise. She was equal
to the occasion and babe them all
be seated and prepared more dinner
for the weary soldiers who We're
Cuile tired after their long march.
Following the dinner the afternoon
was pleasantly spent in visitation a lad
social pastime. Mrs. X. was lett n
beautiful jardeneire to remind her
of the happy event.
After returning to their rcspcc-
tive tents and taking a few hours
rest, the same regiment marched in
double file, Henry Sunberg acting as
captain, to the home of Mr.. Burr
shortly after the supper hour, and
upon entering his home a regular
invasion took place when several at
one time began to beat him. II they
had kept up the beating until they
administered the number of strokes
he was years old, we doubt very
much il he would not have preferred
being in the German army fighting
against the allies. An Irishman hap
pened to be on the scene of battle,
and saved him from further attack.
After everything became quiet, the
evening was passed in games and
social conversation, after which the
invaders took their departure, wish
ing him many happy returns of the
day. Mr.. Burr was remembered
with several nice presents, among
which was a box of fine perfecto's.

AN UNAVOIDABLE DELAY

Owing to unforeseen circumstances
arising at the last moment the paper
is unavoidably delay today. We
were busily engaged getting out the
holiday edition when the big press
took a notion to give us all the troub-
lie it possibly could. The gasoline
engine latertook turn at affairs and
gave us all the grief it had in store.
By keeping calm we were able to
issue the paper but about a half day
late. We trust our patrons will over
look this matter and in the future
these delays will be omitted If it is
at all within our power.
