Center Of the German Line in
Russian Poland Continues to
Rush to the Eastward
AFTER FLEEING RUSSIANS
But the Strain is Such on Both
Sides That a Lull May Come
Soon to Recuperate.

LONDON, Dec. 9-The center OF
the German line in Russia Poland,
having occupied Lodz, 1t is continu-
Ing to push on to the eastward after
the retiring Russians, according to
official announcement made in Ber-
lin. Nevertheless, the strain on
both sides has been terrific and the
losses heavy, so that lull probably
soon will set in on this part OF the
eastern battlefront while the troops
recuporate.
The Russians continue to assert
that their retirement from Lodz was
"a strategical necessity rather than a
defeat, but 1t will take further de-
Itvelopments to show whether this
claim is correct or not. Twice driven
back from Warsaw the Germans are
again in a position to advance on the
capital OF Russia Poland and even
the British press, which minimizes
tho Importance of the taking of LODI.
points out that 1t is on the trunk
line railroad between Calisz and
Warsaw. which line is now held by
the invaders probably TO a point con-
siderable to the east OF the occupied
city.

Sity of LODI 1t would appear that
Germany had. crushing victory all
most within her grasp and lost 1t by
mot being able to unite her forces
while the Russians were successful
in gaining dominant position which
they could not hold.
In the western arena while II
would appear still generally true that
fthe Germpns are mora on the defen-
sive than the offensive, the news
that they have made a violent attack
to The south Of Ypres indicates that
they have not abandoned the idea oil
breaking through to the French
coast and it is said that the pick OF
the Germany army has been concen-
trated for this latest effort.
The fate of General Beyors in
South Africa has not yet been abso-
lutely cleared UP. If he is dead, as
believed, it will remove the last of
the important South African rebels.
General Dewet is a prisoner. Colonel
Maritz fugitive. and most of the

not make any difference which end

Mr.. Herrick declined to hazard a
guess as to when the war would end.

Mr.. Herrick is the only living
American to wear the grand cross OF
the legion of honor. So far as Is
known no other American was ever
thus decorated in the 112 years that
have passed since the order was cre-
ated by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1902.
Bonaparte was then first consul and
he created the order to replace the
old orders of knighthood which were
abolished at the time Of the French.
revolution. Many Americans have
heen decorated afficers and chevaliers
of the legion-of lower rank than the
grand cross-in recognition Of their
literary work, their services to
France, or at the various Paris expo
sitions. The holders of the grand
cross are almost exclusively French
ambassadors, generals of the French
army and vice admirals of the French
navy.

Although the details of the matter have not been taken up in the com mittee of the Garland Bar Associa ton, which was named to prepare a legis ative bill providing for com mission form of government for Hot Springs, Judge A. Curl chairman ol the committee. has given some thought to the subject, and when the committee does meet he will have some definite plans Co offer Yesterday Judge Curl stated that he had gone over the legislative act whereby Fort Smith secured its au- thority for 2 commission form of gov ernment and that act will lot serve for Hot Springs, though the proyI- sious Of the charter may be patterned after to a great eNteu,
 The legislative bil' put through to authorize the Fort smith change made the terms of the bill only ap- plcable to cites between 1SO00 popu- lation and 10000 population which practically eliminated through the maximum figure Iilte Rock and eliminated the smaller cities like Hot Springs by putting the minimum at 1S,o00
 'I have not decided yet whether to propose 10 the committee that we ask for an amendment to the Fort Smith charter bill" said Judge Curl yester- day Tor whether it will be best for us to propose a new general bill on the subject I am making some in- yestigaton along that inc now
 Then the matter of more general
 interest was taken up-
 Do you think that, with a strong local endorsement of the plan, and practically no oppostion that Hot Springs could put the commission form into use by next April?" was asked.
 Judge Curl said that it would be impossible to anticipate what the leg islature would do in the matter of the enactment of the necessary bill. but that if the legislature would act promptly in the matter, and the bill were introduced early in the session there was no good reason why the change in government should not be entirely worked out by April He thought that if the people would get behind tAe movement it could be put through successfully without any un- due loss of time.
 When the Bar Association commit tee makes it's report, and the matter Is 1 up again before the Young Mems Chamber Of Commerce, the provisions of the proposed terms of the commits sion form of government will be dis cussed at length and m detal SO that the people may thoroughly faml
