ident Wilson

Chicago.-Resolutions unanimously
adopted by the National Civil Service
Reform League in its thirty-fourth an
nual meeting criticized Postmaster
General Burleson and expressed the
appreciation of the league for the CO.
operation of President Wilson.
The Burleson criticism was for in
viting the advice of congressman rela-
tive to the comparative qualifications
of eligibles for fourth-class postmas-
terships." The resolution declared
that this was "in direct violation of a
section of the civil service law and
made the positions patronage of the
congressman belonging to the party in
power"
Among the efforts mentioned as hav
ing defeated "the attempt by rider on
the postoffice appropriation bill to
remove all assistant postmasters from
the classified service, the endeavor tc
vacate for patronage purposes the as
sistant postmasterships; subsequent
effort to remove all postoffice EN-
ployees from the operation of the
merit system; the proposed through
amendments to the Indian appropria
ton bill to exempt more than 10(
physicians from selection under civil
service rules"
The resolution set forth the leagues
appreciation of the cooperation O

The question of when Roumania will
make her entry in the conflict is
still being discussed, however, one
side desiring to avoid winter cam

The attitude of Bulgaria remains

Washington.-Leo NJ. Franks peti-

to exhaust Franks legal remedies, and
leaves the state prison board and the
governor of Georgia the only power re.
naming to prevent his execution.
If the petition had been granted by
the Supreme court, it would only have
given the case standing in court; the
writ of error itself would then have
to be passed upon. By the adverse de,
cision, this writ was not permitted to
BE submitted to the court.

SIavonic Hosts Announce That They Have
Won Decisive Battle Over
Germans
PORTUGAL MAY ENTER war
Inactivity Marked In Western war
Theater-Kaiser Returns From
Polish Front

London. England.-Reliable news OF
the progress of the battle in Poland'
which continues to monopolize inter
est, still is lacking. An unofficial dis
patch from Petrograd says the battle
of LODI has ended in success for the
Russians, but this statement contra
diets the Berlin official report, which
saws the German offensive in Poland
is taking it's normal course.
The fact is that fighting IN THIS
region has developed into such a jun
BILE that it is almost impossible to FOL
low it. The most important factor
from the allies point is that the Ger
man advance on Warsaw seemingly
has not succeeded in its object, nor
has it diverted the Russians from
their forward movement through the
Carpathians and on to the plains OF
Hungary or against the fortress OF
Cracow, around which they are draw
ing a closer ring of men and artll'
lery.
Taking into consideration the case
of Przemsyl, which has held out sc
long against the Russian attacks, mill
tary men do not look for the early
fall of Cracow, and are inclined to be
lieve armies of Emperor Nicholas vii
endeavor to keep the large Austrian
force inside the fortress and enter 81

Much depends, however, on the bat

of an early success for the German

S4O,O00000 people under their RUE
