LITTLE STATES
SHOW ACTIVITY
Servia May Give Bulgaria Slice
Of Macedonia as Price Of
Her Immediate Help.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-While the Rus
sian army headquarters remain silent
and the Germans claim to have check
cd attempts on the part of the Rus
slams to take the offensive, the military
in Petrograd has shown it's full conf
sian victory in Northern Poland by
celebrating the event
1t is even said in the Russian capi-
tai that the victory was greater than
had been reported previously and
there is talk In Petrograd of an entire
German army corps having ben broken
up. Reports received there say that
trains have been ordered which will
accommodate $4,000 wounded and pris-
Oners. Heretofore Grand Duke Mich
olas, commander-in-chief of the Rus
sian forces, has withheld his reports
until the work he set about to do had
been completed, so that the world may
have to wait for some days yet for his
official statement.
In East Prussia and before Cracow,
Galicia. the Germans claim to have
brought the Russian advance to a stop.
The other side is yet to be heard from
III ICEuiu W tHIS SltttIIltHl.
Probably the most significant news
regarding the Russian operations
comes from Budapest, where il is ad-
mitted that the Russian troops again
have invaded Hungary and have also
reached the county Of Ung, which is
about 35 miles south OF the Carpath-
ians and the county of Zemplin. so
miles to the south Of those mountains
,l,s. n, \.
cording to this report, have been driv-
en- back to the frontier, while action
is being taken against those in Zem-
plin.
Except to the northwest OF Verdun,
where the Germans made an attack,
were repulsed, and asked for an ar
mistice. which was refused, the fight
ing ia the western theater consists to
large extent Of artillery duels. There
is evidence, however, that the Ger
mans contemplate another desperate
effort to get through to the French
coast ports.
Every report from Belgium by way
of Holland shows that the Germans are
bringing up reinfOrcements and guns,
but so closely is the secret guarded
that there Is no indication as to where

doubtless be a heavy one, backed by
all the men, guns and other machines
of war of which the Germans seem
to have such unlimited supplies.
The allies have made effective prep
arations to meet this assault. At the
same time preparations have been com
pleted for the defense Of the east coast
Of England, for the opinion still holds
here that If the Germans fail In their
latest plans, they will attempt a raid
on England with warships and trans
ports, for which German submarines
are trying to prepare the way.
There Is considerable diplomatic &C
tivity in the Balkans and important
are expected soon. 1t
is considered in official circles here
that with the Austrian army on her
soil, Servia will be more likely to lis
ten to the demand of Bulgaria for a
slice of Macedonia as the price of her
support. There is also talk of an ar
between ROumania and Bull
garia, in fact, of a reorganization of
the Balkan league, which would bring
all the Balkan states over to the side
of the allies.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-t4:47 a. m.)
"The German attempt to turn the
Russian flank at Wielun pass was ex-
pected and checked" says the Times
Petrograd correspondent. "The diff
culties of the Russian operations In
Poland were enormously aggravated
by the havoc the Germans wrought
during their retreat from Warsaw. A
Ruzsky Slovo correspondent who WIS.,
tied the scene says it is difficult to
find solitary foot Of undamaged rail-
road roadbed for miles. The scene,
he declares, suggests the visitation OF
a tremendous typhoon or earthquake.
The devastation of the country runs
from Warsaw to near kutno where
the destruction becomes less COM
plete. The commencement Of the
of the Cracow fortress
bears out the official Russian reports
that the Russians are approaching the
fortress from three directions, name
ly, Miechow, Woinicz and New San
deo."

Mr.. Silliman reported that the "a
pata forces, after sharp fighting in the
outskirts of the Mexican capital yes
were reported killed. entered just as
the forces of General Blanco evacu-
ated the city. There was some dis
order and looting in the brief interval

the city was quiet Immediately after

The convention forces under Gen

were expected late today.
The Brazilian minister said he had
received full assurances from the Ia
apataistas that he would maintain Or
der. He said that contrary to previ-
GUS promises to the diplomatic corps

GOOD ROADS
Turner c County Expects Big
Boost From Automobile
Licenses

Centerville. Feb. 12.--It is expect
ed that March l the automobile fund
of Turner county will reach about
"a, 600, and this sum will be expended
during the coming summer in improv.
ing the public highways of the
county. Under a new state law the
money is derived from automobile Ii
censes. Out of each $6 automobile
license fee paid during 1914, the sum
of $5.2 will remain in the county
treasury, only rs cents of each license
fee going to the state. On January 1
of this year the automobile fund of the
county had reached 81, 667 rs, and on
February | this bad increased to So
3S3.S7 q, so it is safe tc estimate that
the fund will reach "a, 900 by March
1, The fund retained by the county
for good road building will be under
control of the board of county commits
%sioners. In order to expend the money
to the satisfaction of the automobile
owners of the entire county a meeting
has been called by the county commits
sioners of automobile owners, to be
held at Parker February 10. A SINH
lar meeting has just been held at vi
borg. Ii is expected that at the Parker
meeting the automobile owners of the
county will perfect the organization of
a county automobile club. and appoint
a committee to act with the county
commissioners in improving the pub
lie highways of the county with the
money in the automobile road fund.
In this way it is believed there will be
harmony of action.

Lincoln Journal: One cause for the
general decentralization of the demo-
cratic party in New York is admitted
to be the unrest over the postmaster
ships. One prime cause for the boil
ing anger of Nebraska democrats to-
ward each other at this time is the
federal appointments and the state
offices. The republicans, on the 9TH
er hand, having no federal Offices to
quarrel over, are showing signs of I'M
expected unity. When the party men
discover that nothing disintegrates
their forces more than spoils they
may be ready for sweeping reform
in filling public Offices.
