Cookies Like Crandmother's.

Instead of using the space for the let- ter I sent you before wish you would tell my mother-in-law (metaphorically speaking) how to make cookies like my grandmother used to make.' They were not molasses cookies. but made of sugar. and they had caraway seed in them; nor
 were they thin and dry. They Id not need the glass of home made currant wine to moisten them. which the dear old soul made from the entrants which grew in her garden. but that home made wine was good. and the cookies were good. and the

JUNIORS MUST WAIT 40 YEARS.
Admiral Blue Makes Attack on Navy
Conditions in Annual Report

Washington, d. c., Nov. 27.-Junior
lieutenants of the class of 1918 cannot
hope to reach the grade OF lieutenant
commander in less than 40 years under the
present distribution Of grades OF lire Of
teers OF the navy, in the opinion Of Rear
Admiral Victor Blue, chief Of the bureau
Of navigation. Legislation providing for
redistribution Of grades is urgently
needed, Admiral Blue states in his an
nual report made public yesterday. or
the men Of the 1918 class will be close
10 the statutory retirement age Of 81 be-
fore they reach the rank mentioned.
"in other words Admiral Rue con
tindes, "all the officers in the service ft
for duty would be Junior licutenants
and ensiens. The lieutenants. lieuten-
commanders. captains
and rcar.admrals would be- oficrrs who
have only recently stepped up from hav-
ing been worn out Junior beutenants
and would only b. waiting 10 reach the
retiring age. Il is needless 60 comment
on such a situation. II the matter were
not 30 serious. Il would be- ludicrous."

CONTINUOUS BATTLE
WAGED IN POLAND
Expected German Offensive
Movement i'm Western Eu-
rope Has Not Developed
Reports Differ as to Re-
suits in Servian and Aus
trian Clash

AT few times since the European wal
began nearly four months ago have re-
ports from the various fields of battle
scattered from the North sea to the
western fringe of Asia, been so incom-
plate and confusing as was the case to-
day. So far as could be learned from
official announcements there was little
change in the alignment of the opposing
forces in any quarter, Notwithstanding
the fact that operations of the highest
Importance we're under way.
The situation in Russian Poland, at
present the scene of a most important
conflict, has become one of the most puz-
cling phases of the war. An official Aus
trian statement is to the effect that the
fighting has assumed the character of
continuous battle. The last advices from
Berlin state that the outcome is undecid-
ed. although a partial German victory
Is reported.
Opposed to this are the unofficial state
nients from Petrograd, Paris and London
that Germany has suffered the greatest
reversal of the war. For nearly week
these claims have been made with the ut
most confidence, yet the Russian war Of
fee deny word of decisive developments,
In some particulars a similar situation
prevails in the West London expected
this week to witness one of the most
important and deadly struggles of the
war as the result of renewed German ef-
fort to break through to the English
channel; but the official statements indi-
cate that only sporadic fighting is In
progress and as to the results there is no |
re,onciling reports from Berlin and Par
is.
There is corresponding conflict concern
ing the campaign in Servia. The Aus
trisn war Office asserts that the advance
into Servia is being pushed forward sue
cessfuIly and that the Serbs have been
beaten in two engagements. An official
statement issued at Nish, however, con-
tains no reference to such an occurrence,
merely saying that the battle continues.
A holy war which seriously affects the
issue should it bring to arms the mil
lions Of Moslems Of the eastern ooun-
tries has been formally proclaimed.
Fears of friction between European
pow ers and the countries in South Amer
lea over alleged violations Of neutrality
IN southern waters have led the principal
South American nations to ask the CO.
operation Of the United States in nego-
tiations with the nations at war looking

THREE CHILDREN
DIED SUDDENLY
Medical Examiner Thinks Woburn
Youngsters Obtained Poison at
Nearby Dump--They Had Been
Eating Nuts.

Woburn, Mass, Nov. 27.-Three chill
dren, state wards, living with Miss Nora
O'Hara, were stricken suddenly i'll while
eating nuts yesterday and died within
short time. They We're Peter Krukas,
aged 3; his brother. Anthony, aged 5;
and Caroline, sister, aged six.
Medical Examiner Keller expressed
the opinion that death was due to poison
which he thought the children may have
found in nearby dump. The children
had not eaten their dinner There were
no signs OF ptomane poison disclosed in
the preliminary examination and DIR.
Kelleher said he did not believe the nuts
had made the children sick.
Peter, the first to be stricken. died
within few minutes after he collapsed.
The Others died few hours later at the
same hospital.

RUSSIAN VICTORY
NOT CONFIRMED
Petrograd War Office Does Not Verify
Other Dispatches Telling of Big
Advantage Gained Near Lodz.

London, Nov. 27.--The Russian gen
eral staff is till withholding the de-
tails OF the victory which all other dis
patches from Petrograd say the Rus
slams have won over the German forces
that penetrated Poland.
Last nights official report simply says
that the battle continues to develop to
the advantage of the Russians and that
the Germans are trying to extricate
themselves from position that is very
unfavorable.
The Germans. on the other hand, claim
that they have inflicted heavy losses on
the Russians between Lodz and Lwecz.
The military authorities in Petrograd,
assuming that the unofficial reports of
a victory are true, express astonishment
that the Germans should have attacked
Lodz, for they say defeat there was in
evitable. The Germans, who advanced
from the north and south, these military
observers add, doubtless intended to seize
the railway between Skjerniewice and
Piotrkow and interrupt communication
between the northern and southern Rus
sian armies, but that Grand Duke Mich
olas, with the enormous number OF men
at his command, was able to sandwich
them and direct his attacks from all
points except due west. The reported
failure of the German crown princes
army to advance on the Cracow-
Czenstochwa front il described by the
military critic as contributing to the
of the Germans.
1t is said in Petrograd that one, if not |
two, German army corps, are almost |
envcloped and that they are
making a desperate effort to fight their
way out to the north. Already large
number of prisoners are reported to have |
passed through Warsaw. This is con-
;idered in London to confirm the unoffi-
,ial reports, and the statement of Lord
Kitchener in the house of lords yester
lay that the reinforced Russian troops
n this neighborhood have been able to
heck and defeat the Germans with, II
believe. heavier losses than they ever
sustained before"
The Russians are said to be continu-
ng their advance through the Carpathi-
ms in western Galicia and against Cra-
ow They also are declared to be OPP
rating with success against the Turks
"A the Caucasus.
Except the artillery fighting, the bat
lie in the west remains virtually at a i
tandstill, although in isolated attacks
10Th sides claim to have made some
rogress. There is no indication where
he next German blow is TO be struck in
he attempt TO reach the French coast. :
Lord Kitchener in the house of lords !
esterday declared that all the gaps in
he French army, which for a long time /
ad fought against great odds, now had "
cen filled and that both British and !,
reneh reinforcements had reached the
ont. While Lord Kitchener expressed !.
in the result of the war and
,serted that 10000 recruits were join !"
q the British army each week, he 4 !,
armed the public that still more men J" "
ould be required :
