WAR PERIOD HAS
ENDED But With
AONORS DIVIDED
Such is Optimistic Sentiment
Expressed by Russian
General Staff.

Petrograd, via London, Dec. 21.-
A general attached to the Russian
staff who recently returned to Petro-
grad from the front. reviewed the
present situation today in an optimis-
tic manner.
1--WE now are at the close of the
first period of the war; he said. "It
has ended, to be sure, with the battle

Germans. ..
THE German offensive was begun
with the center extending from Po-
sen to Kalisz. The armies of General
General Francois ad-
vanced to the Bzura river, occupying
positions in almost straight line
from Plock through Domitz and Lodz
to Piotrkow, where they fortified
themselves. The northern division
which proceeded to Ciechanow and
Makow was forced back to the from
Silesia advanced toward Olkusz. VOL
brom and Novo Radomak while far
ther to the south the Austrians pro-
ceeded to the river Dunjec, aiming to
free Cracow.
""The strategic position Of the rail-
road lines enabled the Austro-Ger-
mans to maneuver their forces north

versa. The total number of Austro-
Germans opposing Russia is estimat-
ed at more than forty army corps

identity is to take the Lithuanian fort

and occupy western Poland as far as
Warsaw, while the Austrians are at
tempting to free Galicia. push north
ward to Radon and Lublin. and oc-
cupy southern Poland. If the enemy
were successful in thus freeing it's
own territory and fortifying thorough
ly the lines mentioned, no effort would
be made to go farther. The enemy
would content himself with remain
ing on the defensive along this front
so that thirty army corps might be
transferred to the western theater of
war.
These aspirations cannot be realiz-
ed. because the Russians are being re-
inforced continually and now are oc-
cupying positions which may be de-
Tended more effectually than their
previous ones.

Hans Sogge, who lives about two miles
from his fathers place. Mrs. Sogge

Neighbors of the Sogge's gave the
clue that led to the discovery of the
murder They knew that Mrs. Jones,
nee Miss Sogge, was enceinte. and

position of the child. they became
suspicious and notified the county au-
thorities.
Late Saturday. Sheriff Randall went
to the Sogge home and commenced
all investigation. He had the vault
of the outhouse excavated, and the
body of the dead child was discov-
cred.
An inquest was held by DR. Warren

tion proved that the child was born

THAW MUST GO
BACK TO n. YORK
The United States Supreme
Court Makes Such De-
cision Today.

washington, Dec. 21.-The supreme
court today reversed the refusal of
the federal court in New Hampshire
to extradite Harry K. Thaw. to New
York.
The effect of the dicision caused the
extradition Of Thaw from New Hamp-
shire to New York Immediately.
In brief decision by Justice
Holmes. which Is the unanimous de-
cision of the court, it is held Thaw
must be turned over to the New York
authorities to answer the indictment
charging conspiracy to escape from
the Matteawan asylum for the crim-
inal insane.
whether his escape was made while,
as counsel contended, he was insane,
constituted a crime, and other ques-
tions, the court dismissed with the
comment that they could not enter
into the habeas corpus proceedings
and that they are proper questions for
the state Of New York to decide.

Washington. Dec. 21.-On the eve
Of tho first vote ever taken by the
United States congress on prohibiting
tho liquor traffic throughout the coun-
try, there is a feeling. here. even
among those opposed to the resolu-
ton, that national prohibition is com :.
ing but the antis hope Is that 1t Will
not become an Issue in 1916. This
will depend entirely upon how the two
national conventions are lined up on
the subject in the spring Of 1916.
Prohibition resolutions will be Of
fered in. both Of them and COM
promise resolutions denouncing the
evils of the liquor traffic, but not d.
rectly indOrsing prohibition, probably
will be adopted in both.
