Of the three battles the one nov

Decisive Battle.
The Germans, it is believed, have
brought up by their line of strategic
railways in Posen and Silesia at least
100000 men to reinforce General Won
Hindenburg in AN effort to break the
Russian line at this point.
Weather conditions, the frozen
ground and the situation of the bat
tlefeld favor a really decisive battle
to a degree which has not existed on
any other field of the present war.
The other battle in Poland is TAX
ing place on the Cracow-Czenstocho
front, and both the Russians and the
Germans say it is proceeding salts
factorily for them.
In East Prussia the Russian ad-
vance is moving slowly through the
10
Lakes, which is difficult of passage.
Russians Seize Passes.
In Galicia the Russians are going
steadily westward and at the same
time are Selling the passes of the
Carpathians.
In the western theatre of operations
it is officially announced that the Ger
mans we're forced to abandon heavy
guns because of the spreading waters.
Near Ramscapelle the Allies salvaged
two large mortars which the Germans
had been unable to remove.
Both sides have lost artillery and
motor cars since the food changed
the character of operations.
Bad weather has increased the ex
haustion of the troops and there Is
much illness in the trenches.
The Germans have made new ef-
fort to extend the wedge they have
driven between Verdun and Toul at
st. Mihiel on the Mouse.
French Advance.
The French appear to have antici-
pated the plan to have advanced lit
tie from the north and south of their
line, which forms three parts of
circle around st. Mihiel.
The Germans have again taken the
Western part of the village of Chau-
voncourt, on the west bank of the
Meuse.
For the time being this region is a
centre of interest. The French are
making desperate efforts to close their
lines east of st. Mihiel and thereby |
cut off large German force. The
Germans are trying as desperately 20
keep open the only breach they have
made in the barrier of fortresses.
The operations to the north and
east are closely connected with the
fighting around st. Mihiel. The Ger
mans in the Argonne are attempting
to break the French line, which bars
their connection with the German line
on the heights of the left bank of
the Meuse, and three attacks deliv-
cred by them were repulsed.

GOVERNOR TENER HoNoRFD

TT Is no small tribute the Engineers'
Society has paid to Governor Tener
/ in voting him the first honorary
member OF the organization. It is
all the more remarkable when 1t is
known that the honorary membership
requires the unanimous vote of the
entire society. One black ball would
have barred the Governor. The engi-
neers comprise men of every political
creed and party, and the fact that all
OF them voted thus to honor Governor
rener shows the high regard in which
he is held by the men of this dis
tinguished profession.
The Tener administration has been
remarkable for its constructive poll
cies and conservation of the States
resources has been one of its chief
aims. The Governor has placed his
name to more conservation bills than
any one of his predecessors in office

predicated that its actual boundaries
should form the subject of subsequent
negotiations. China is now forcing
an understanding upon this boundary
question and she is demonstrating to
the Mongolian the danger lurking In
so-called Russian protection the
danger already illustrated in the cases
of Korea and Bokhara.
The Mongol traces his history back
to the days of Jenghis Khan. who be-
tween the years 1906 and 1927 brought
all the tribes under his authority and
established himself as ruler of vast
realm stretching from China to the
banks of the Dneiper, and leaving to
his successors the conquest OF Persia,
Hindustan, Russia, Poland and Hun
gary. And this is the nation which
has changed from warlike people
into a conglomeration of pastoral no.
mads, at present under the iron heel
of Russia.

THE CARLISLE MX-UP

THE mlX-up at Carlisle, which has
resulted in the deposition of
Superintendent Friedman and
the arrest of Chief Clerk Nori
on charge of embezzlement brought
by Friedman. is regrettable in the
extreme. The school has such a splen-
did record. has turned out so many
students who are justifying their
tuition there and who are teaching
the white man that the red man is his
equal at almost any kind of work, thai
any reflection on the institution comes
as a shock to the public that has
grown to look upon Carlisle as a model
Of its kind.
Just what is at the bottom of the
trouble has not been made public.
Possibly it will all come out at the
court trials. 1t is TO be hoped that
in the end it will develop that the
irregularities, if there have been such
do not go far beneath the surface and
that fundamentally the school is as
sound as its results have indicated il
TO be.
