KELLY ISSUES PROGRAM
FOR UNIVERSITY HEADS

Robert L. Kelly, president OF Earl
ham college, today gave out the fol-
lowing information concerning the
proposed association Of American col
leges which is to hold it's first meet
ing at the Sherman hotel, Chicago, on
Jan. IA, Is and Is, 1915. An associa-
ton of this kind was first proposed
formally by the Presbyterian Union,
an association of Presbyterian col
leges Of America.
The steps which led to the present
movement, however, were taken by
the council of church boards of educa-
ton at Washington City in January,
1914, at which time President Kelly,
vice president of that council, was
directed to arrange for joint meet
ing of council members and college
presidents in connection with the Ma
tional Educational association at st.
Paul in July, 1914. At the st. Paul
meeting President Kelly was author
ICED to appoint committee Of eight
college presidents besides himself to
draft a constitution, arrange pro-
gram and prepare for the first meet
ing of the proposed association. The
program which is now issued is the
result of the work of this committee.

bers of north end foreign colonies will
wake up to the fact that Mayor Rob-

weapons must cease is not to be re-
garded as a joke.
Today Sam Bell, Turk with an
AmericaniZed name pleaded guilty
through an interpreter of carrying a
revolver concealed in his hip pocket.
He drew a fine of $25 and costs.
The interpreter was ordered by the
mayor to pass the word around again
that gun toting' had to stop. IF 1t
continues some one is bound to get
shot some day." the mayor said.
The Interpreter said Sam worked on
the railroad several miles from town
and carried the gun to protect himself
but by mistake transferred it from his
working clothes to his Sunday suit
Saturday evening. Sam was arrested
in the Turkish pool room on North
Eighth street after a complaint had
been made to Patrolman Bundy.

RUSSIA

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
PETRoGRAD, Nov. s2.-The cap
ture or annihilation Of three Germs
army corps, approximately 12o :
men, In the Lodz, Gierz, Breziny,
kow region, is declared here tonight to
hc imminent. Pressing forward with
ever increasing force, the Russians
have, It 10 said, trapped the Germans
to the point where II is necessary for
them to make determined stand to
avert utter rout In their military re-
buff.
Practically every railroad from Rus
sian military centers is now given
over to army trains.
A quarter Of a million men are being
poured into Poland to reinforce the
army which already exceeds 1,ooo, 900
In an effort to completely crush the
German forces making their second
raid into Russian territory. Passing
the trains carrying fresh troops to the
front, are long strings Of cars bearing
wounded and prisoners from the battle
line. It 10 declared that in all, up
wards OF 10000 Germans and Aus
trians have been captured.
Among the German soldiers made
prisoners have been mere boys still
in their teens. They are utterly pros
trated from exposure and the ri9ors Of
campaigning in the severe weather
prevailing in Poland.
From the northern army In east
Prussia to the south, along the vast
400 mile line to craeow, unofficial re-
ports here claim the Russians are
meeting with success. The long await
ed report from Grand Duke Nicholas
was more or less disappointing to the
people Of Petrosrad as It only partial
iy bears out the claims made In unoff-
cial reports. It 10 confidently expect
ed, however, that the next statement
from the grand duke will report .
eompIets Victory for the Russian cen
ter whore the most desperate fighting
Is now In progress.
An official statement today declares
fresh successes have been gained in
the southern end OF the battle line.
The statement declares: "on the Pros
zowice, Bochla front, we gained new
successes Thursday. The Austrians
in that district were put to rout and
1000 prisoners, 80 cannon. 25 machine
guns and many horses and consider
able equipment captured"
The fighting along this line repre-
sents the Austrian opposition to the
advance Of the Russians southwest
through Poland. Proozowice is twen-
~ miIes southwest Of Cracow. From
this point, the Russian line turns back
