The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-05-13

The freshman flock of diamond cavorters received another setback in their endeavors yesterday afternoon at Seaside park when the sophomores, literally, ran away with the game. The second year men gathered IS runs while the sfreshies were pushing ten across the plate. The game was sIop- pily played by both sides, due to the wet condition of the field. Clancy was replaced on the mound for the fresh men by Mercer. Bump pitched the entire game for the soph's. Tomor- will play.

Bismarck, n. D., Dec. S1.-There
are about so men meeting in the gov

ments why their particular location in
Slope county should be chosen as the
county seat. Bessie, Amidon, Mar
marth, Chalk Butte, Chenoweth and
Geise are the active candidates for
the honors and as yet no one has
dared to predict which will come out
ahead. There are various arguments
being brought forward by each con-
testant and the outcome will be await
ed with interest by all. The governor
has the naming Of the county COM
missioners and the first set of county
officers, and the commissioners name
the county seat and of course it is
understood that all the candidates for
commissioners are lined up for some
particular location for the county
seat. Slope is the new county that
was formed out OF a part Of old Bill.

GERMANS Evidently IN

English Believe Political Developments Continent
Rapidly Fomenting and that Actual Participation
in the War by Some Must Come Soon.

From fragmentary and conflicting official reports
OF the war, two main tendencies observed. In the
west along the entire front from Alsace the North
sea- the allies exerting steady PRESSURE according
to their claims, some of which have not been disputed
by Germany, and they made slow progress almost
erywhere.
In the east the defeat of the Austrians in Galcia
is not denied and German forces in Poland appear to
have found it extremely difficult to continue their adj
vance toward Warsaw
Berlin states that further progress is being made,
but Petrograd believes the German offensive has been
broken down. Official communications from Petro-
grad indicate that of the sangunary battles
OF the war, in proportion to the numbers involved is
taking place in Trans-Caucasus. The Russians state
that the Turkish column was dispersed by artillery,
and that the Turks lost half their number
The Japanese foreign office announces that no ma
ton has requested that the Japanese army be sent to
Europe. 1t is said in Toxic that Russia and France
favor the project but that Great Britain hesitates on
account of economic and political difficulties"
The Servian minister to France is quoted in Paris
as saying that Servia is planning invasion of Hun
gary.

the line of battle.
Counter attacks of the enemy were

half by French troops. Fighting here

who brought regiments from divers
corps into action"
PetrOgrad, Dec. 31-The Russian
view of the military situation in Po-
land. in the light of recent develop
ments, is that definite check has
been administered to the Germans.
The evacuation by the Germans of the
village OF Mistrzewice. five miles north
or Sochaczew, related officially by the
war office, is regarded by military
critics here as "the ringing down of
the curtain on the third German ad.
vance toward Warsaw"
AT tremendous loss to themselves,
the Germans had succeeded in es.
tablishing a foothold in Mistrzewice,
on the east bank of the Bzura river,
but their persistent sledge hammer
attacks during the last three weeks
failed to penetrate the Russian line
before Warsaw. The Germans stead
lily threw reinforcements into the
town in an endeavor to extend their
position along the river. When it
became evident that the Austrian
advance from the Carpathian noun
tains had failed, the Germans evacu.
ated the village during intervals be-
tween Russian attacks. The Austrian
operations from the Carpathians evj-
IDENTIFY formed an integral part of the
general plan of the Germans for the
Warsaw campaign.
Artillery Brought Up.
Heavy artillery is being brought up
by the Germans along their center
between Skierniewice and the Pilica
river: This is regarded here as purely
a defensive move, designed to prevent
the breaking of the German line by
the Russian infantry forces, which
are operating there under the cover Of
artillery.
Unofficial reports from the War
saw front state that in comparison
with the heavy artillery duels, the in
iantry operations are mere episodes.
Look for Wars End. q
Hungarian prisoners arriving at
Kiev state that their commanders. in
addressing the troops previous to the
advance. said that the result OF the
campaign would be the reoccupation
of Lemberg by the Austrians and the
capture of Warsaw by the Germans
and that subsequent operations, a di-
rected by the German general staff.
would decide the war. 81
