Both Sides Rest.
The Germans, it is evident. have
sent their best troops to the eastern
front and even In big guns the allies
appear to have the advantage over
them. There are no signs, however, of
an offensive on a large scale on the
part OF the allies. who doubtless are
as badly in need of rest as their oppo-
nents. In fact. 1t is stated that the
officers and men who have borne the
brunt of the fighting in the trenches
are being given a short leave.
Losing Guns in Mud.
Many heavy guns have been lost by
the Germans in the floods in Flan-
ders. The official French COM
munique in stating this declares that
the artillery fire from the coast to
the Lys has slackened somewhat
Snow is again falling in Flanders and

Summary Of EveXks.)

The British warship Bulwark
has been blown up in the Medway
river off Sheerness by an explos-
ion in her magazines. Only
twelve were saved out Of the crew
of 700 or 500 aboard the Bulwark.
The explosion is believed to have
been in an internal magazine.
Whether it was caused by Ger
man agents or was an accident
such as might have occurred in
times of peace, has not been de-
termined.
To Help England.
A brief dispatch from Lisbon says
the Portuguese congress has decided
that Portugal should cooperate with
the Allies. The minister of war has
called for partial mobilization Of the
army. The treaty by which Portugal
believes 1t is bound to aid the Allies
was made in 1908 with England, and it
provides that each shall mutually aid
and help the other" in case OF attack.
French Guns Near Metz.
French artillery continue to bonn
bard Arnaville, only ten miles from
Metz, Germany. The development of
an offensive In Lorraine has long
been expected. but to what extent It
may be carried was not indicated at
the war office.
From north of verdun and south of
Metz the German line extends in
wedge into the Verdun-Toul defenses
of the French. The two sides of the
wedge are Joined in the region OF
Chauvonyourt and st. Mihiel, where
desperate fighting has occurred the
last week. 1t was at Chauvonvourt
that the French suffered heavy losses
through the explosion OF German
mines. The French have been unable
to drive the Germans from the posi-
ttons they now hold In this district
and the movement upon Arnaville is
evidently a tightening OF the circle
which the French are endeavoring to
drive about st. Mihiei.
Heavy Attack on Allies.
The Allies have been attacked in
force from Ypres to La Bassee. A
terrific battle has commenced. The
Germans have heavy reinforcements
and fresh guns for this renewal of the
effort to cut through the Allies line.
The English artillery, however. thus
far has thwarted all the German at
tempts.
1t is now said the plan is to reach
the French coast by December 10. The
Germans show few signs OF being
staggered by their enormous losses
and dispatches from Berlin set forth
that the German troops are far better
able to stand exposure to the cold
than are the allies. The forces of
Emperor William are trained and
clothed for Just such an emergency,
while the troops of the Allies, from
the south Of France. from Morocco and
from India must necessarily suffer
greatly.
Cold and Fatigue.
The extreme cold weather and the
exhaustion Of the troops engaged
have vitually brought the battle in
Flanders to a standstill.
A desultory artillery duel continues
at some points along the wide front
and there has been an occasional in
iantry attack, but for the last five
days the fighting has been mild COM

Denver. = Fearing that the pro-

Victory for Russians.

The Russians have won an import
ant battle with the Germans between
the Vistula and Warta rivers in Po
land
Official news received in Lon
don declares that the rout of the
German and Austrian forces In Po
land has been complete. The general
STAFF. however, is not yet able to give
any details of this fighting. 1t is now
clear that the Russian victory in PO
land Is decisive. The number OF pris-
oners taken by the Russians is esti.
mated at fifty thousand.
Abandon Guns and Transports.
The Germans have begun retreat
along the entire front, and In many
places the flight is disorderly rout,
marked by the abandonment of artil-
lery. maxims and transports. Berlin
meanwhile is beginning to talk about
repulsing Russian attacks, which Is a
subtle method of announcing that the
German troops are on the defensive.
The main Russian force is eXclu-
sively engaged against the Plock
group. whose front is cut in halves.
Its right half is surrounded on all
sides and is vainly struggling as In an
iron wise and striving to break through
to the left wing at Lowicz. which in
turn is battling unsuccessfully.
A Second Battle Probable.
The same dispatches that tell Of
Won Hindenburg's reverses. however,
say that the German reinforcements
were being brought up SO that another
great battle is likely to develop on a
line nearer to the frontier of Posen.
where the Germans will have the
same chances of renewing vigorous
offensive as had the Russians In the
present instance.
General Won Hindenburg has about
100000 men. but II the Petrograd re-
port can be accepted, they have been
separated, badly cut up and thousands
taken prisoner. SO these German forces
will require reformation and rest.
Another Russian army is operating
along the border of East Prussia, and
a third one is pursuing a vigorous
campaign In northern Austria. 1t
was said by military experts that the
purpose of the Austro-German attack
and pursuit of the Russian center was
to draw off the second and third
armies from East Prussia and Galicia.
What these lesser Slav forces are do
ing has not been revealed.
Veil Of Secrecy.
The veil OF secrecy has been
drawn over the battles between
the Russians and the Austro-German
forces. The headquarters of both
armies now are confining themselves
to the briefest statements concerning
the hostilities, saying merely that
fighting is in progress

that It is announced there that the
siege of Przemysl appears to be rapid

One of the chief objections of the

place themselves "at the services

Evidences increase that C.. A. Prouty
is the man the people of Vermont
really want for United States senator.
In conversation with a gentleman
whose business takes him about the
entire state he told the writer that
there is no question about the demand
for Prouty and predicted that should
he decide to run he would sweep the
state. That his election would lend
immediate prestige to the state is
presaged by letter published in this

should not delay his decision longer.
He should let the voters know.

Rather Outspoken in Comment.

Mason City. Iowa, Dec. 27, 1913.
Mr.. Editor:
Your advocacy of Mr.. Prouty for the
senatorship in Vermont prompts me to
take the liberty of extending my
congratulations. He is a man that
every Vermonter could conscientiously
support. whether he call himself a
Democrat. Progressive or Republican.
His election would give Vermont a
tremendous prestige, it is doubtful of
Vermont has produced a man of his
caliber within the memory of any
voter. Vermont sadly needs real
senator, one with both ability and
independence. Vermont has been rep
resented at Washington long enough
by Rhode Island and Utah. There are
probably few old mossbacks left who
will try to keep an intellect from
going to the senate, but their number
is happily being decreased. either by
death or conversion.
Yours truly,
E. H. Warner.
