California is using as much feed

For the next thres months that state

grain as in the past three months,
their purchases having averaged close
to 1000, 900 bushels q month.

eve of Emperor Nicholas, the Russian
armies in Poland are taking the Of
fensive all along the line. The hardest
lighting is along the Pilica river where
both Germans and Russians are MAX
ing attacks and counter attacks. The
battle here extends from TOmaSZOW to
Lubocz.
The Germans have made four un-
successful attempts to cross the Pilica
at InowlOdz. Their losses at this point
have been severe.
In repulsing the fourth attack the
Russians took $50 prisoners.
Along the Bzura river the Russian
artillery has driven the Germans from
their trenches on the west bank.

ing with marked gains for the Rus
slams. After thrusting the Austrians

ing up the Vistula valley toward Cra-
COW, their right flank protected bv the
forces along the Nida river and on the

now approaching a victorious climax
and that operations there the last 10
days the Russians have taken $4,000
prisoners. A fourth sortie by the
garrison at PrZmsyl has been repulsed.
The recaptUTe OF Tarnow is taken

that the advance on Cracow is now
to continue without further Interrupt

power Of resistance has been finally
broken.
