GERMANS ACROSS
The BzURA RIVER

Petrograd, Dec 28.-Resisting con.
stant day and night attacks along the
seventy-five-mile front from the Wis
tula river southwark to Opochenow
the Russian line before Warsaw con-
tinues to hold.
The banks of the Bzura and Rawka
rivers, where the Germans have vain.
ly endeavored to cross, are lined with
bodies, both sides having lost heavily.
Massed attacks upon strong Rus
sian positions have been repeatedly
repulsed, but the efforts of the Ger
mans continue and strong counter
attack is being directed against their
lines along the Pilica river.
While the Germans are directing
their main assaults between Sochac-
ZeW and Skierniewice the Russians
are endeavoring to pierce the German
line along the Pilica. Only at one
point along the Bzura river have the
Germans been able to make a cross
ing, it is declared here, and with rein
forcements that have been hurried to
that region they are expected to be
hurled back
It is generally believed here that
the fighting in Poland is now rapidly
approaching crisis.
General Francois is endeavoring to
resume his march from Mlawa on the
north.
The Germans in that region, it is
now admitted, are offering serious re-
sistance and have partially succeeded
in assuming an offensive.

'-": Manila, Dec. 28.-Eight Filipinos
have been arrested on the charge of
.sedition as a result of an abortive ris'
ing in Manila and it's environs. Fur
ather arrests are probable.
From army sources it is learned
that general warning was sent to
all officers on Thursday afternoon
stating that fully 10000 Filipinos in
Manila alone were ready for con-
certed attack on Fort Santiago, the
.-Curatel Espana, the Curatel 1nfanteria
and the medical depot. The military
units were Immediately prepared and
a street patrol was started at dusk.
- Constabulary agents who are mem
~bers of the secret societies disclosed
the plans for an uprising, thus en-
"abling a force of constabulary and
police to dispense gatherings at Ba-
gumbayan, Paco and Navotas, near
Malabon.
Use Chairs as Weapons.
= At Caloocan a squad of American
sailors seized chairs when force OF
Finpinos approached dance hall in
which they were gathered and, using
the chairs as weapons, routed the
Filipinos, of which quite number
were injured.
The rising evidently was poorly or
ganized and lacked leaders. 1t was
composed for the most part Of persons
implicitly trusting the word of Ar
temio Ricarte, revolutionary, who
conducts continual propaganda from
'Hongkong, to which place he was
banished by the American authorities
some time ago. Ricarte, it is stated,
advised that the anti-American at
tempt be made on Christmas eve
when the American officers would be
expected to celebrate the holiday.
" Reports from the provinces tell of
minor risings and occasional violence,
but details from these sections are
lacking.
The situation now, from all appear
ances, and according to official state
ments, is well under control of the
military authorities.

SIGHT
 A NEW COMET
A Total Stranger to Us, 1t Has No Tail, and Is Going at Fur
 ious Speed.

CHICAGO, June A new comet has appeared in the northwestern skies, and has been observed for the last two nights through the great Yerkes telescope at Williams Bay, Wis. According to Prof. Edward E. Barnard of the Yerkes Observatory, the comet is burning up millions of miles of space at terrific speed The stranger, which is tailless, has no name, nor is it's orbit known to as tronomers. It was seen last Sunday night for the first time in Russia.
 "This is an entirely new comet" said Prof. Barnard, over the long distance telephone tonight. "As soon as the Russian astronomers sighted it they sent word to the clearing house for astronomical news at Kiel, Ger many, and thence the news was cabled over the world. It was reported in Europe that the comet was visible to the naked eye, but we have not yet been able to see it without the tele- scope. It is moving easterly toward the star Capella, in the northwestern part of the heavens.
 "The new comet is going at furious speed. It has no tail. We will en- deavor to compute it's orbit. It ap- pears like small, bright object in the telescope. No information other than the fact of its discovery has come from Russia"

Live Long.


 To live long and we'll is probably the only wish that can be said to be universal. This is so because Ma ture implanted within every individ- ual the most powerful desire for con tinuence of physical life. Self-pre- servatiop and healthy body are what all mankind are seeking. It is defi- nitely known that the body laboratory and all organs and parts are govern ed by the nervous system, indirectly controlled by nerve -centers," locat- ed in the spinal cord situated within the spinal column. The mechanical condition of your spine, therefore, becomes of prime importance, and, when your spine begins to grow shorter and stiff. you begin to grow old, no matter what your age.
 Osteopathy is particularly expert form of inspection of the spine fol- lowed by the detection and removal of any irregularities that may be found. Do you know that if you had your body machinery, particularly your spine examined, and if necessary readjusted by that expert body ma chinist. the osteopath. at regular in- tervals. you would avoid most dis easss, besides promoting healthy and long life.
