The same can be said of operations in the east, ex- cept in the case of Lieutenant General Samsoncff the Russian commander whose army was partly destroyed by the Ger mans in the battle at Tannenberg, East Prussia

TAKE UP G|LL-DYER CASE
House Members Begin Consideration
of Contest for Missouri
Seat.

The House today began consideration
of the contest of Michael J. Gill for the
House seat for the twelfth Missouri dis
trict occupied by L. c. Dyer A House
elections committee reported a resolu-
ton unseatng Dyer and giving Gill the
place. an agreement was reached assur-
ing vote on the resolution tomorrow
and the debate was begun.
Both the original count and recount
In the election gave Dyer the seat by a
plurality of several hundred. The case
was taken before the elections commit
tee. however, on the plea that false and
fraudulent returns from seven districts
of the fifth ward of the city Of St. Louis
gave Dyer his plurality in that ward and
in the entire congressional district.
After an exhaustive investigation a ma
iority Of the committee decided that the
entire returns from the seven contested
districts should be thrown out. This
would give Gill a plurality of 81.
Representatives Mckenzie and Shreve
filed a minority report from the commit
tee recommending that the contest be
dismissed.
