simultaneously with Field Mar
shall Won Hindenberg's victory at
Lodz, Berlin makes the first OFF,
cial announcement OF the war
since the battle OF the Marine,
that the Germans have been com
PEELED to abandon a French posi-
ton. The German evacuation OF
Vernelles, between Lille and Ar
ras, thus may turn out TO possess
much greater significance than
the defeat OF the Russians In Po-
land.
The two operations, though re-
moved from each other by the
width of Europe, are closely re-
lated. There seems no doubt
but that the Russian victory has
been won with troops Withdrawn
from France and Belgium. II APP
pears evident, too, that the allies
are now more nearly on an equal
ity with the German strength in
the west than at any time since
the war began. Nevertheless, TO
predict from this change In the
situation, that the Germans soon
will be out OF western France and
Belgium would be hazardous. The
future situation In the west de-
ponds upon conditions In Russia.

He would not disclose the players name.
The Federal Leagues plans for erect

Board of Appeals there. A week ago
the plans were rejected by the building
commissioner on the ground that the

The Board of Appeals granted permits

{. v. MURPHY
Wild Talk of a New Circuit Being
Formed by Nationals and
Feds
By Frank G.. Menke.

Jew YORK, Feb. 13.-National
NJ League moguls realize to-day
that they can expect no help
from the American League in their
fght on the Federals unless Charles
" Murphy, president of the Chicago
cubs, is forced out of organized
1aseball.
Meanwhile Federal League moguls
are preparing for wholesale purchases
when the selling season in baseball
apens. They are going forth with a
bank roll the size of log to secure
the best players in the International
league and the American Associa-
ion by out-bidding the National
and American League club owners.
BY this action Federal Leaguers
will not outlaw themselves, but will
be conforming to the rules of or
sanized baseball.
Murphy Must Go?
Although Murphy has declared that
Wild horses. could not drag him out
If baseball, other members of the
National League are inaugurating a
scheme to bring about peace. This
scheme Is to give Murphy a chance
to dispose Of the Cubs at a fair price,
and, if he refuses, to reorganiZe the
league, leaving Murphy in the cold.
This plan, as far fetched as it may
sound, is said to have the indorse-
ment Of FIVE club owners in the Ma
ttonal League.
It is said that five National League
clubs would drop out of their organ
ization and amalgamate with three
teams Of the Federal League, leaving
chicago, ST. Louis and Brooklyn Ma

please Thus would an Independent

followed by the formation of new
National League circuit, which prob
ably would include the cities of Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New

dropped from the National roster and
Baltimore would be substituted. OF
these clubs, Chicago, st. Louis and
Baltimore would be drawn from the

Spending Large Sums TO Kill
Foot and Mouth Trouble.

Washington, Nov. 18.-To date the
federal and state governments have
spent approximately s750,000 in the
campaign against the live stock foot
and mouth disease epidemic. OF this,
about 100000 has been borne by the
federal government, almost exhaust
ing the available funds of the depart
ment of agriculture An emergency
appropriation Of probably 100000
will be asked Of congress when it
meets to complete the work of stamp
ing out the disease.
Experts of the department estimate
that about 100000 has been spent for
slaughtering condemned cattle one
half of which is borne by the federal
and the other half by the state gov
ernments. The last outbreak of the
disease-that of 19oS-cost the federal
government 100000. The infected
states then included Pennsylvania,
New York, Michigan and Maryland.

TWO KILLED IN GUN FIGHT
Posse Finds Bandits Near Evening
Shade, Ark, and Bullets Fly in
Little Hotel.

Evening Shade, Ark, Nov. 20.-The
dining room of the little hotel at Cen
ter, a hamlet ten miles northeast of
here, became shambles last night
when posse of Sharp county citizens
overlook two men, supposed to be
safe robbers who attempted to rob a
bank at Mountain Home.
One of the supposed craftsmen is
dead, the other, although wounded, es-
capped on a stolen horse. R. K. Arnold,
former surveyor of Sharp county, is
dead, William Jackson, a merchant OF
Ash Flat, is dying with a bullet in his
head, and J. \. Hargrove, proprietor
of the hotel, who brayely rushed to
the posses assistance, is wounded,
but will recover.
The Sharp county citizens organ
lied as soon as the news of the at
tempted bank robbery became known.
They followed the trail all day and
when they reached Center learned
that the men they sought were eating
in the hotel. When they demanded
that the men surrender, they opened
fire and the battle continued until four
men lay dead or wounded on the floor
of the little room. Wounded, the sur
viving bandit jumped through Win
dow and rode of into the mountains
under cover of darkness.
