Germans Checked in Poland.

London, Dec. l2.-Of the five Aus
tro-German columns. which for some
days appeared to be making steady
progress in their invasion of Poland,
three have suffered checks, according
to an official report from Russian head
quarters. The column which was max
ing downward stroke from Mlawa,
on the East Prussian frontier, and
which was reported in one dispatch
from Petrograd to be within fifteen
miles of Warsaw, was repulsed after
an energetic offensive and, under coun-
ter attacks from the Russians, were
compelled to retire at some points.
The attacks of the main German
column, which had its front on the line
between LodZ and LowicZ, and which
came down diagonally from Thorn,
were delivered with great force, but,
according to the Russian account. We're
repulsed with heavy losses to the in
vaders. That the Germans attached
great Importance to the success of
their attack here, is shown by the fact
that during the two days they faced
the Russian trenches seven times and
We're driven back by a murderous fire.
The other column which has suffer
ed, Is that composed of German and
Austrian troops which has been trying
to Outflank the Russian left south of
Cracow In this case it was the Rus
slams who assumed the offensive, and
they claim that, after a tenacious re-
sistance, they defeated the Germans
taking several guns and 1000 pris-
Oners.
or the German column operating in
the region of Piotrkow, and that ad-
yancing from Czenstochowa, there is
no news except the Russian state
ment that ION other parts of the front
there have been no substantial
changes"
A check or repulse OF any one of the
columns, however, in the opinion of
military critics, must affect the whole
German plan, which was a formidable
conversion movement that had for its
objectives the capture of Warsaw and
the relief of Cracow For this purpose
large reinforcements were sent from
the west and operations were pushed

PRIZES.

This is the fifth count announce
ment of the Golden Gate Contest, and
we are pleased to be able to offer
a list of candidates which shows
such remarkable degree of activity
as does the list this week.
Over one hundred thousand votes
were cast last week, and interest in
the contest on the part of contest
ants and their friends az well, is
keener than at any time in the past.
The time for loafing is past Yet
the right sort of effort now will
place any contestant upon an equal
footing with any other. The contest
today can be won by the candidate
who stands last in the race.
Rccollect that practically every
body within thirty miles of this town
is interested to greater or less eX-

desires to win to get out and turn
passive interest into active interest.
1t will be easy to do. not only on
account of the interest in the race.
but on account of the interest in the
exposition as well. Every exposition
so far has outdone its predecessor.
Those on the coast have been mighty
fine. The 1915 exposition will out
shine them all. They've got the
money. They've got the natural ad-

UNUSUAL TRADING MARKED
OPENING OF NEW YORK STOCK
EXCHANGE YESTERDAY.
GAINS At OPENING
Marked Gains Were Recorded in
Most Of the Deals Twenty five
thousand Shares Changed Hands.

New York, Dec. l2.-As Trinity
church chimes struck ten today the
New York stock exchange, which has
been closed since the beginning of
the European war, reopened for linn
tied stock trading business with a
roar that could be heard into the
street.
Instead of declines at the opening,
most of the deals recorded gains in
prices, some of them sensational.
General Motors jumped twenty-.X
points, while Texas company
eighteen points.
Most of the trading was in big lots
of one hundred shares up to four
teen hundred at a single sale.
During the first fifteen minutes,
twenty five thousand shares of stock
changed hands, which is considered
exceptionally large, in view of the
fact that all trades were for cash
only.
Although trading was forbidden on
the floors in L. 5. Steel and other
stocks, there was much private
trading in steel under the supervision
of the stock exchange committee.
Stocks closed strong, with many
stocks continuing their sensational
gains.
