GERMANS GIVE WAY
ON EASTERN FRONT
Fall Back with Austrians
Along the Whole Po-
land Border.

/ Petrograd, Nov. 1i.-All along the
fringe Of Poland, from Thorn to Cra-
cow. the Austrian and German armies
continue TO fall back under increasing
Russian pressure.
The northern army, commanded BY
General Won Hindenburg, retired on
Slupec, north Of Kalisz. The southern
army. commanded by the Crown Prince,
apparently is concentrating around
/ Czenstochowo. The Austrians are being
pushed back 10 the gates OF Cracow
and probably are now we'll within the
line Of their forts, which begin about
two miles beyond the Russian frontier
II is now clear what gigantic blum
der the German General staff made in
ordering the advance on Warsaw, which
was certainly based on an underesti-
mate Of the Russian strength. The de-
feat near Warsaw has been a heavy
blow to he Germans, while for the
unfortunate Austrians who were
dragged into this Ill-fated expedition
il has been disastrous. The Germans
could have devised no better means OF
finally ruining their ally. Instead OF
helping the Austrans TO prolong re-
sistance in Galicia and so protecting
their own approaches 10 Silesia, the
Germans risked the remnants OF their
ally's forces on the tOolhardy enter
prise and so destroyed whatever hope
the Austrians may have had of recov-
ering lost ground, or even effectively
defending their still unconquered area
in Galicia.
At the same time the Germans great
ly weakened their defensive force, Tor
the German and Austrian losses during
the short Polish campaign have been
very heavy, and they have cleared the
ground for the Russian advance.
General Headquarters issued the Iol-
lowing official announcement to-night:
"In East Prussia our troops are ap-
preaching the Eastern outlets or the
region around Lake Mazourle.
ar the vicinity of Goldap, Mlawa
and Soldau engagements have occurred
which have been in our favor.
an Galicia we are continuing a Wig
orous offensive"

London. Nov. 1.-THE Germans, ac-
cording to Petrograd dispatches, have
suffered a more serious defeat on the
Fast Prussian border than the official
statements have disclosed. Advlces
from the Russian capital to-day state
that in the recent fighting the Rus
slams have captured more than 10000
prisoners. with quantities OF guns and
munitions.
In Galicia the Russians continue TO
push back the Austrians, but the lat

cross in an effort to crush Servla De-

An awful Menace" Exposed.

Wisconsin State Journal The nub
of the legislation which Wilson is ask
ing Congress to pass now, before sum
mer adjournment, is this:
Declaring unfair competition in com
merce unlawful, and creating com
mission to drag it into the open.
That is all there is to this awful
threatened interference with prosperity.
Can you think of a single good reason
why honest business should object to
such Il law and try by might and main
to obstruct its enactment
Neither can we.
AS matter Of fact, we doubt that
the obstruction originates with honest
business.

fear the spotlight

of Wisconsin would have a representa-
tive there worthy TO cross swords in

counsel and analysis of the committee
second to few, if any, there from sis
ter states in any cause he would es-
pOuse.
His final retirement from the race,
however, simplities in Il measure the
situation since it is made in a dignitied
manner, expressing lofty thought Of
party harmony and negation of fac
tional strain.
In doing this Mr.. Kearney cxacts not
only the respect, good will and best
wishes Of the rank and file, but also of
those in the party to whom fractional
attributed. The act for the reasons
asserted for its being reflects generosity
Of spirit and thoughtful purpose in the
citizenship Of the man.

man with common sense asks his wife
to obey him. In fact, it is greater

In such cases they may be sincere

A TRUE DEMOCRAT.

In Il letter to senator Owen, chair
ing President Wilson pays this tribute
to Thomas d. Jones:
II have been associated with Mr.,
Jones in various ways for more than
fifteen years, and have seen him tried
by fire in causes which were like the
very causes we are fighting for now.
He has always stood for the rights Of
the people against the rights Of
privilege, and he has won place Of
esteem and confidence by his quiet
power and unqucstiOnable integrity in
the city of Chicago, which ! think is
very enviable indeed.
His connection with the Harvester
company is this; He owns one share,
and only one share, of stock III that
company, which he purchased to
qualify as director. He went into the
board of the Harvester company for
the purpose of assisting to withdraw 1t
from the control which had led into the
nets and practices which have brought
of the government, and has been very
effective in that capacity. His connec-
ton with those acts and practices is
absolutely nil, His connection with it
was public service, not private in
terest. and he has won additional credit
and admiration for his courage in that
matter.
He is II lawyer by profession, but he
has devoted his attention to special as
poets Of the law, and has been very
little in the court, | believe. My close
association with him was in the board
of trustees Of Princeton University,
where he stood by me with wonderful
address and courage in trying to bring
the university to true standards OF
democracy. by which it would serve,

kearney's Withdrawal.

Madison Democrat; SO far as the
democratic situation goes conditions are
somewhat clarified in this state by the
withdrawal of Thomas M. Kearney as
a candidate for United States senator.
This leaves the field practically alone
to John A. AlywarG, although State
Senator Husting is accounted by some
as being we'll forward in the race.
However he is no such formidable as
prant as Mr.. Awkward. Mr.. Kearney's
action is based on the Discrimination of
that gentleman to go before the pri-
maries for nomination.
1t is not likely that Mr.. Awkward
henceforth will have serious opposition.
He, too, is man of ability, of force,
sagacity and "A strong campaigner.
He has borne the brunt of party battles
many times and has well earned any
distinction which his party may confer.

THE LEASING SYSTEM.

The Springfield Republican, n great
independent newspaper, preeminent for
fairness and ability, thus strongly en-
dorses the national administration
policy of conservation
Secretary Lanes five conservation
bills will be given the right of way in
the House at an early day. according to
action by the rules committee, and
their passage by that body seems as
sured. No better political investment
could now be made by the party in
control of Congress than to enact those
five bills into law at the present session.
They cover irrigation and water powers
and coal, oil, gas and radium deposits
ON lands under federal jurisdiction,
The leasing system is the central idea
of the measures; no more private mon
opolies Of natural resources SO far as
the federal government is concerned.
While the enactment Of the bills might
be construed in some quarters rs anoth !
or blow at capital" some time they
will be enacted and the party responsi
BILE for them will get due credit.
This question of conservation is OF
vital Importance in Wisconsin, where
so much waterpower is still unhar
messed The people should demand OF
their candidates this year that they
stand squarely against the old policy o
granting charters in perpetuity.

tween open progressives and more or
less secret reactiOnaries. Processing
loud allegiance to progressive princi-

convention met. They made plain
their intention to organize the meeting
in their interest by putting forward for
the temporary Craftsmanship Judge

steadily declined to be candidate for
the presidency again, and he now
stepped forward as II courageous and

wrested control from the bosses and
turned over the machinery Of his party
to the real democracy. No other con

to oppose the bosses choice for chair
MANA man "COnspiCuously identified,
in the eyes Of tho public, with the reac

this "acid test" Others evaded, or
pleaded for harmony, to avoid offend
ing possible supporters. Wilson
frankly and cordially approved Bryan's
purpose. Thus the issue was drawn,
and Wilson was marked, even more
clearly than before as the true candi-
date of the progressives The bosses
seated their man for chairman, but it
was Pyrrhic victory. The Democra-
tic masses throughout the country
shouted approval of Bryan and Wilson.
