By GRANVILLE FoRTEscUE

WARSAW, Dec. 2s.-The lighting for
the Bzura is a desperate and endless
struggle.
Many days Of seesaw battle find the
Germans still pressing the major part OF
their military might against the angle
made by the Bzura and Rawka with the
Pilica River. Charge and counter-charge
has been the order of the day and of
the night.
AS at the User, the Germans seem to
have staked all on the crossing of the
Bzura.
Under cover OF night they threw pom
toon bridge across the river, but when
the troops appeared above the sharp
banks OF the yellow stream they were
swept away by the Russian gunfre.
Following the lines OF the rivers are
two parallel rows OF trenches. The Ger
mans are on one bank and the Russians
on the other They stretch from north
to south without a break. The soldiers
in these trenches pour an unceasing hre
into one another day and night.
South OF Sochacew the Russians let the
Germans cross the river at night until
there were about 1900 on the east shore.
Then, with the force OF food, corps
sides OF the enemy.
The entRngled division fought with the
desperation OF the condemned, but when
morn again showed 5000 German prisoners
were marching dejectedly along the
Kallsch roads toward Warsaw The
streams bank was a shambles. OF those
not captured fully one-half were killed or
wounded.
While the attempt to hold the passage
gained at Bolimof was at It's height, the
Germans were pushing through another
advance along the railroad line from
Skernevice. The hope was 10 take the
point where the bridge stood. for the two
lInes OF railroad are OF supreme impor-
tRnce.
A new advance from south OF Pilitza
has threatened the Russian LEFT for two
days, but all reports now point to a Ger
man check.
Now comes word that columns are
headed south from Mlava once more,
which means the army whioh was beaten
in that district last week has come back
heavily reinforced.

olies were the proper thing and all
they need is little regulation"
Pleading for all men who beiieTe in
the principles of the Republican party

FLEE SCARLET FEVER
STUDENTS LEAVE FOR HOMES AZ.
TER TWO DEATHS IN DAY.
Dies After Taking Care of
Many Patients.

Champaign, Ill, Feb. 27.-Despite
statements by the state board of
health and local authorities that the
scarlet fever situation at the Univer-
sity of Illinois was well in hand, 800
students fed to their homes Wednes-
day many obeying the requests of anxi-
GUS parents.
Although no new cases were re-
ported in the student body, two deaths
carried panic to the university,
Champaign and Urbana. Miss Ona
Reno, young nurse in the Julia E.
Burnham Training school, died mar
tyr to her work. Mrs. Harry l..
Lingren of Urbana, bride of six
months, was the other victim.
Warned that service in the isola-
ton ward was not mandatory and also
was dangerous, Miss Reno responded
by declaring that she wanted to vol
unteer. She was assigned to the care
of s. H. Cater, student from Prince
ton, who died last week.
!. Champaign physicians passed reso-
lutions reciting the heroic secrif1ce
of the young woman.
e. A. Hardt, representing the state
board Of health, said the board had
not even considered the idea of quar-
antining the twin cities, the situation
being well in hand. Dean Clark, chair
man of the university health commit
tee, issued statement advising stu
dents to go to classes and nat to go
home.

not attack the specific items, but rath-
er the custom that has prevailed of

He cited statutes as indicating a dis
tinct p6ff;sc ~ fNsestate against the
practice and imposingea q personal LA
bility on the officer or head Ct the de-
partment upon whose authority the
debt was contracted. The liability fea-
ture is buttressed, he said, by penal
provision that renders the offending
official subject to fine of from $1,000
to $1,000 for each separate item in
CURED. While believing that the ac-
tion of the assembly in approving the
items may relieve the personal respon-
sibility, he does not see how it may
remove the penal clause of the stat
utes, and ventured the suggestion that
payments might be enjoined by tax
payers suit.

now is the time to select these. Visit
the hen house occasionally and band

will soon learn to know those that
lay often without looking at their
band numbers; these should be used
as breeders next season.

DEPALMA WINS RACE
VICTOR OF VANDERBILT CONTEST
AT SANTA MONICA, CAL. MAKES
75.5 MILES AN HOUR.
OLDFiELD IS CLOSE SECOND
Daring Driver PeriIs MechanicIan and
Himself When He Piows Ahead of
italian at death Curve"-Crowd
Gives Him an Ovation.

Santa Monica Race Course, Cal,
Feb. 2S.-The Vanderbilt cup automo-
bile classic was won by Ralph de
Palma on Thursday when he sent his
Mercedes car 294.035 miles in hours
81 minutes and Al seconds. This is
an average of 75.5 miles an hour. Bar
ney Oldfeld, driving a Mercer car,
was second in hours IS minutes and
l second.
At the beginning of the thirtieth lap
De Palma was 80 seconds behind Old
field, but the latter started 85 seconds
ahead of De Palma and would have to
gain go seconds in the remaining five
laps to defeat the winner of the last
Vanderbilt cup race.
Oldfield went into the lead at the
end of the twenty-third lap, with De
Palma a close second. The crowd
went wild when the announcement
was made that George Joermann, pilot
of the Touraine, an entry that was be-
lleved without a possible chance of
running more than few laps, was the
surprise of the classic. At the end of
his nineteenth lap Joermann was
driving a clever race and holding a
tight grip on fifth place. When Old
field had completed 25 laps he was still
in the lead, followed in order by De
Palma, Carlson, Cooper. Joermann and
Janette.
As Oldfeld passed De Palma he en-
acted piece of the most daring driv-
Ing ever witnessed on any Vanderbilt
cup race course. The two machines
had passed the grand stand with only
few seconds separating them. As they
approached death curve" a right
angle turn, Oldfieldd put on all power
and overlook De Palma. With death
for himself and his mechanician a Ger.
tainty if he sent his car one inch out
of the path, Oldfield dashed onto the
curve and swung around De Palma
Mercedes.
He kept the lead on the straight.
away and passed the grand stand 100
feet ahead of De Palma. The shouting
of the crowd was thunderous.
Car No. was sent away by Starter
Wagner at 10:05 o'clock The other Is
racing machines tore away at 15sec.
ond intervals.
Spencer Wishart, in No. 2, made the
first lap at 80 miles an hour, although
soft spot developed by the recent
rains caused the cars to skid danger
ously at one of the turns.
The distance is 294.035 miles, or Sc
laps of the S.401-mile course, which
ought to be covered by the winners in
less than four hours, it is said.
The veterans, Oldfield and De
Palma, and Earl Cooper, who won last
years Santa Monica race, were the
favorites. The course was pronounced
to be in perfect condition.
