American Relief For Belgians Is
Proceeding Rapidly.

AAoSseuAuS NdpAuly.
The series OF battles between
the Germans and Russians between
the rivers Warta and Vistula for
the possession of the city OF Lodz,
resulted in success for the Ger
mans, who entered the place Sun
day, Dec. 6. The shelling Of the
city began week before and the
German troops we're very aggres-
sive in their attacks for three days
prior to the retreat of the Russians
who could no longer withstand
the assaults made upon them.
Lodz is the second city, and the
chief manufacturing center in
Russian Poland, and has over
400, 900 population. The Russians
report that the numerous mills and
factories have been closed long
time and the inhabitants out of
employment and short of food are
in pitiable condition. The Ger
man shells started numerous fires
throughout the city.
The Germans have control Of
: all the railroads in the triangle be-
tween Thorn and Kalisz and
Lowicz and use them for bringing
up troops and supplies. 1t is said
the Kaiser's troops are now in a
position to entrench and hold a
position from which they can
menace the Russian communica-
tions with Warsaw, the capital of
Poland, which is their objective.
Rumania is reported having de-
cided to enter the war on the side
of the allies but may not begin her
campaign until winter is over.
Bulgaria is still neutral.
The war. stricken people Of Bel
gum, through their agents and
representatives are expressing
their gratitude to the American
people for the relief supplies OF
wheat and other food products
sent from this country. They say
that without these supplies millions
would be starving, and that unless
the supplies continue to arrive,
many will yet starve before winter
is over. The German troops who
hold Belgium are said to be court
eous to those in charge OF the
relief work and have no objections,
only insisting that there must be
no marks or tags of any kind or
the outside or inside of any pack.

The Russians admit the capture
Of Lodz, but assert that in the
months operations in that regior
the Germans have lost 100, ooc
men, or roughly one-fifth of thei
force.
The people OF Palestine and AL
bania are reported to be stricker

Forest officers say that the increas-

are said to be oftenest struck simply

is and granted new trial by the
court Of appeals.
The court also directed that ar
guments on the petition for rehear-
ing be set for May 16, and that all
the defendants in the dynamite case
appear in court that day.
In its petition for a rehearing of
the appeal of Tveitmoe, Houlihsn and
Bernhard the government contended
that ample justification for a yer.
dict Of guilty had been shown against
each Of the three in the trial in In
dianapolis. Counsel for the defend
ants insisted that the government was
debarred from asking for reversal
Of the finding Of the reviewing court.
The order of the court Of appeals
directing the presence of all the men
found guilty in the dynamite trials,
whose cases are now before the court
was interpreted today as indicating
that the court will either direct that
they be taken directly to the Leaven-
worth penitentiary to finish their
terms Of sentence or that mandate
will be issued by the court Of APP
peals directing the Indiana district
court to execute it's sentence on the
twenty-four defendants who were re-
leased on bonds after the court OF
appeals took jurisdiction Of the case.
