LONDON. Dec. 21.-The Russian
army defending Warsaw is today be-
lieved to have completed the forma-
tion Of its new line before the Polish
Capital. Only battle of enormous
proportions will permit the Germans
to break through. The forces Of Grand
Duke Nichols are declared to number
more than 100000 men and the en-
tire Russian line has been strength
ened
Renforcements which have been hur-
ried into Poland have enabled Grand
Duke Nicholas TO lengthen this line,
ending at Warsaw into a continuous
battle from the Vistula TO the Pilica
river
The Russians are thus massed on a
front of more than 60 miles with their
lines running through the important
railroad point of Skierniewice. and on
through Rawa to the Pilica. The ex-
tension Of the line TO the south along
the pilica was made necessary by the
advance OF the Austro-German forces
| in the Piotrlkow region. The branch
line railroad running through Rawa Is
strongly defended and heavy forces

BAGGAGE CAR MEN
WORKING HARD NOW
Approach of Christmas Day
Keeps Railway Employees
Busy
GROAN UNDER
WEIGHT OF LOADS

A Pennsylvania railroad employe,
speaking of the rush that comes TO
many mems doors just preceding
Christmas. did not overlook any Of
the shop girls. package carriers, mail
men or others who are pushed pretty
hard at this season of the year, but
he did announce a wish to call atten-
ton to the man in the baggage car.
Everybody is talking about the
poor over-worked shopgirls, the
bundle-burdened mail carrier the
shaving truck horse. but did you hear
anybody remark that this time of
the year is a pretty busy time for the
fellow who is working in the mail
and baggage cars?"
LAS a rule most people think that
this mail and baggage car job is a
cinch. Train pulls in, baggage man
opens car door. truck is hauled to
door. wrestles few trunks and boxes
onto track, takes on few trunks. shuts
door. then sits back TO wait until the
/ train arrives at the next station.
That's exactly the way it amt. The
first time we really get a breath OF
fresh air is when the train stops All
/ the other time we are separating
bundles and getting the stuff in shape
to throw off at the next station When
one station has been passed we get
ready to chuck at the next.
Just now, with the Christmas stuff
going and coming, it is some rea
Job to keep on ones feet. Bundles Ci
all sizes, shapes and forms, trunks
satchels, suit cases, bottles, and IN
fact everything imaginable. Boxed pc
dogs. toothbrushos, mirrors, anC
dumbbells all have to be handled
You can't handle a mirror as freel!
as you would a dumb-bell. there's thu

doubly hard It's a lot different c
