PETRoGRAD, Dec. 1L--(via London.)-
Reports reaching here today from the
front state that the operations OF Rus
sian forces north OF Warsaw. partial sue
cess OF which was announced last week
have now resulted In a decisive victory
after having pierced the German front
beyond CiechRnow and Przasnysz. The
Russian success on this front, according
to these advices. has been clinched by c
wide swinging movement of the adyanc-
ing Russian left on the main highway
from Flock to Mlawa, concluding In a
heavy. cavalry engagement at Juroml-
netna, seven miles southeast OF Mlawa.
Russian successes OF this nature would
have three important results, The I'M
mediate pressure north OF Warsaw would
be relieved and the German threat
against the railroad lines leading east
from the city would be answered. Rus
sian troops on the right OF the vistuls
river would be freed to seek a crossing
and endanger the position OF the LEFT
wing OF the German army in the resior

now be able to straiGhten their entire

Kapu had been a resident f

ROW Of TREES IN
A FREAK stunt

The freak condition of row of
trees extending from the office of
THE GARDEN ISLAND up to the
Japanese School, distance of three
hundred yards or more, is attract
ting general notice and speculation
as to the cause. The trees are
close together, in a straight row,
Immediately back of the stone wall
bordering the side walk. AS they
now appear, the half OF each tree,
toward the side walk, is as bare Of
leaves as though having been ex-
posed to killing frost, while the
half of each tree on the inside of
the paddock is green and flourish
ing. The sight is an unusual one.
What caused the phenomenon?
The first theory advanced wa S
that the leaves near the sidewalk,
were affected by the electric light
wires over head. This seems i'm
probasible, however, for thereason
that the lower limbs of the trees,
behind the stone wall, still retain
their leaves and freshness. An
other theory is that the strange de-
rudation of the trees was caused
by salt in the wind, which had
been blowing for several days from
the direction of the sea across the
cane fields.
Any way, the phenomena pre-
sents a fine field tor investigation
by any scientists that may call
around this way.

AID. CLUB WILL
COME LATER ON

The Honolulu Ad Club will
visit Kauai. That's sure. We al
50 want to be sure that we GO il
right so that we may score another
victory for publicity and the Ad
Club
This is the statement which has
been made by Wallace r. Earring
ton, president of the organization.
AT the meeting of the club held
last Tuesday noon, t Il Kauai
Chamber of Commences invitation
to the Ad Club to visit that island
was read and greeted with thunde-
rous cheers. Every member pres
ent was in favor of immediate ac-
ceptanCe. The trip is assured, but
the exact date is still under consi-
deration.
Following the reading of the
Kauai Chambers invitation, and
when the noise had subsidized, the
matter was broached as to a proper
time for the invasion. There was
considerable discussion on t h i S
point, and the majority of those
present believed it best that the
trip be postponed until after the
Mid-Pacific Carnival, which con-
venes Xt month. The reason
given for the postponement was
that from snow on, the Ad Club
members will be busily engaged in
preparations for the 1914 celebra
tion, and would not be able to plan
properly-arranged visit to the
Garden Island until at least four
weeks. At the same time, it was
said, large majority of the Kauai
folk will doubtless elect to come to
Honolulu for the Carnival a II d
many will remain for at least a
week after it is over in order to re-
new old acquaintances and visit
friends.

RICE TELLS THEM
ABOUT BASEBALL

Charles A. Rice, who went to
Honolulu last Saturday, was pre-
sent OH Sunday with the Chiefs
of Hawai-, at a session" held on
Ford's Island. J. H. Coney and
c.. p. Wilcox were also present
and it is presumed that they were
put through" al the same time.
Speaking to the papers about base
ball OIL Kauai, Mr.. Rice said:
For the first time since | can
remember l failed yesterday to
take in the baseball game, but this
was the fault of Kuhio and George
\. Davis and other real chiefs, as
they collared me before | could
make a break for Atheletic Park
Too bad that Kauai was not
able to get into the Inter-Island
baseball series for he Carnival
week, for | am quite sure that the
boys from my island would be
there with the goods and the other
teams would have to hustle some
to beat the Gardenites.
Baseball, like everything else
on Kauai, thrives in first class or
der on Our little Island. Well, we
have hopes that the boys will be
able to make it next year, although h
I would like to have seen them
come over next month, The trouble
over there is that the season closed
in August and the boys have been
out of practice, ever since and
again, many of the best players
could not get away at this time of
the year"
