nOuncement that historic victory
had been won over the Russian hosts
in Poland are borne out by the ap-
parent lessening of enthusiasm in
Berlin, where the atmosphere during
the past two days was surcharged with
exuberant rejoicing.
The official statement given out in
Berlin, however, declares that "in Po-
land the pursuit of the enemy con-
tinues,' and the Austrian official state
ment asserts, sthe beaten Russians
are being pursued on the entire front
from Krosno, Galicia, to the mouth OF
the Bzura river, in Poland"
The Austrian statement adds that
advances of the Teut0nic forces il
Southern Poland have been made
without important fighting and speaks
of the storming of Piotrkow and
Frzedborz, south and southeast of
Lodz If, the Austrian statement is
correct the Teutonic forces have made
material advances in Southern Poland.
: -. Report Lodz Evacuated.
Inc Berlin statement says LudL OA
the East Prussian front a Russian
cavalry attack to the west of Pillkalen
was repulsed. The statement, how
ever, does not mention the situation
in the Mlawa region and belief pre-
walls in London that German reverses
there have interfered with the oper
ations of the Germans along the Wis
tula river to the south: It is asserted
unofficially at Petrograd that the Ger
mans have evacuated Lodz, but this is
not confirmed. ..,.
London papers have received the
report that the allies have captured
Roulers, in one of the most furiously
contested regions of Flanders. Like
the rumored capture of Westende
this report lacks confirmation. About
all that is known definitely of the sit
uation in the west is that the allies
are exerting steady pressure on the
German line, and, while advancing
in some localities, have suffered ad-
verses elsewhere.
The French say there has been
spirited German rifle fire in the Vos-
ges, but no attacks. On the heights
Of the Meuse the French claim they
demolished two heavy German bat
teries.

A decree issued by the kaiser at the
beginning of the war that no petit
coat strategists should be allowed to
influence Germany's operations Is
being vigorously observed. The kaiser
has consented, however, to one ex-
ception being made to this iron rule.
His only daughter, Princess Victoria
Louise, wife of the Duke of Bruins
wick, has, it is stated, been allowed
to give her opinion on Won Bern
hardt's plan of operations, which the
kaiser has adopted. This special con-
cession is due to the emperor's re,

 The introduction of this controversy op- posed by the president of the federation all the recognized leaders of labor in this state. What ever the views of the union may be, with spect to the amendment it pointed out that it was not labor measure and it for the sideration of labor that the convention called.
 It could not have been supposed that the adop ton of expression against the amendment would turn any individual member of organized labor against it. The only possible effect could be to irritate those union who favor the amendment and those. who whether they it not ob- jected to the precipitation of this controversy into the convention.
 How organized labor that is, how the majority, stands the prohibition question do not know The socialists, and hundreds them are members of organized labor. said to be for prohibition to When the state temperance federation formed organized lazor was represented but the action of that representation binding upon the organization than has been the action taken by the convention of the labor federatio
 It is believed however, and it is stated by prom inent union men, that considerable majority of the members of organized labor stand for prohibi- ton As individuals they say that it would be helpful to the organization, which is their chief concern. They say further that many of their members without definite convictions on the sub ject inclined prohibition and that that is the general inclination of labor everywhere
 In this situation how than useless it to bring n agitation the question into the federation convention. The agitators had nothing to gain and much lose by the irritation that would inevitably be caused.
 It may be said that the opponents of the proh- biton amendment had right to introduce this subject the friends of the amendment would have had. For that matter, it may be ad- mtted that both have that right but considering the aims of organized labor, its single aim to solidfy itself to build itself up, the exercise of such 4 right is nexpedient foolish harmful alike to the organization and the cause church. q political party society with diversified aims might properly consider this or any ether issue af- fecting the state, the nation, the state or the community.

A Friend Dios a Hole

Mir C. M. Zander of the state tax commission and candidate for reelection has issued cam paign statement which, in a lucid interval after the excitement has subsded, he must regard as un- fortunate The statement is intended to exhibit in succnct form the achievements of the tax commits sion. It is shown that before the commission burst upon view the total assessed valuation of Arl- zona s9S.oOO,OOO. Now, according to the state ment less than three years later, under the min strations the commission assessed valuation is s4OS OOO OOO The addition of $31OOOOOOO than three years than $1O0,000,00O year. to the wealth of the state, is achievement of which any tax commission may be proud. As creators of wealth, Messrs. Zander, Miller and Howe this showing, deserve retirement and pension each, from grateful people. We do not knew where this additional 100000 of wealth is concealed but it must be where. We have of it and neighbors have of it.
 Mr. Zanders statement continues with in genuousness and a disregard of consequences that mark him patriot rather than a politician. He informs us that when our valuation was only S9S OOOOOO tax rate By increase our wealth by the unaided efforts the commission, to $4OS, ,OOO,OOO tax rate been reduced 44H cents.
  itself looks well and the comparison of the rates standing by itself looks well but the parisons in juxtapostion leave the state adminisra ton much to explain to the taxpayers Before the tax commission came to the bat the taxpayers with s9S,00O,00O valuation and 90 rate paid to the state sSS2,OOO. This year, the taxpayers with $40S,0O0,O00 valuation and 44k cent tax rate will pay to the state $1S15,6OO.
 Why are taxpayers paying almost million dol lars this year than they did three years ago? We pause for further statement by MT Zander though it is rather up to the governor to make it. But, MT. Zander having unwittingy put the admin istraton into this hole, it devolves upon him to help it
 The one cold irrefutable fact remains that whatever the tax commission may have done what the rate of taxation may be, taxes are much higher, in many twice high as they were before the commission created.

The Cloud, Mostly Silver linino

They optimistic lot in California and their optimism will make the success of the Panama Pacific exposition When the war broke warning nations would participate in the exposition, it looked if the show an international affair would De a failure, and it supposed that it would be international nothing. The foremost nations, France, Germany and Great Britain whose exhibits were expected to form large a part of smaller countries of Europe, those which are distinguished for their progress in those arts and sciences in the exhibit of which the exposi- tion designed to mark the worlds advance, would be left free to take part The stimulus o exhibitors of this and other American countries European nations would have presented would be withheld and the exhibits of other nations would thereby be affected for the worse
 But the promoters of the Panama Pacific position quickly dscerned the silver lining of the cloud. The exposition, though lacking much than had been expected and it is the crowd after all, that makes expositions successful Europe will be no place to visit next year so that the hordes of Americans which have usually gone abroad will be turned toward the Golden Gate. They will make the Pacific coast their playground between San Diego and Alaska and in the great Rocky Mountain country wonders and beauties un- dreamed of. They will get habit.

In 1870, when the German army was approaching Paris, Mark Twain
 was editor of the Buffalo Express
 The public was crazy for war maps showing the location of the fOrtifi- cations of Paris. Mark saw an op-
 portunity to have a little fun and of course he didn't let it slip. He drew a war map of Paris, which he pub ilished in the Express on Saturday. lSeptember IT, 1870 This cut is a Reproduction of his map, which rais- ed a world laugh at the time. He wrote a story that ran with it, as follows:
 TO THE READER The above map explains itself. The idea of this map is not original with me, but is borrowed from the Tribune and the other great metropoli- tan journals.

 ever tried to draft and engrave a map,
 or attempt anything in the line of art at all, the commentators the work has
 received and the admiration it has ex- cited among the people, have been very grateful to my feelings. And 1t IS
 touching to reflect that by far the most
 enthusiastic of these praises have come from people who know nothing at all
