GERMANS CONTEST
RUSSIANS ADVANCE
In BITTER BATTLE
r Elm Fore EN- ents Dash
Against Foes Poland
Centre Gar Resumes
Offensive in East Prussia.
pETRoaRAD. Dec. rs.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 16.
The Russian offensive from the War
saw zone is bitterly contested by the
Germans, who have been reinforced and
are driving desperately against the Rus
sian centre.
Al German forces have been driven
from the Mlawa region. the War ofice
announced today. and the Russian Of
fensiye against the Thorn-soldau front
has been resumed. The Germans have
been thrown back across the East prus-
sian border and II Is believed that they
are disorganized and cannot offer any
Resistance.
Fierce fghting has developed in tho
region between LowIcz and the south
bank Of the Bsura "a tributary OF the Wis
tula). In this circumscrlbed section
slightly southwest of Warsaw the Ger
man army Of invasion has made deter
mined assaults against the Cars centre.
The renewal of German activity began
Monday and has developed into q bitter
battle to gain ground
According to official dispatches from the
front, which were made public tonight at
general Headquarters the Germans are
forming In heavy force on the south bank
OF the Vistula River. This movement is
reported in the vicinity Of How, 40 miles
west OF Warsaw, where several new
bodies Of German troops have been disc
covered by Russian scouts.
This movement indicates that the Ger
mans after suffering n repulse north of
Warsaw. where they were driven back to
Soidau. across the East Prussian frontier
are concentrating troops for another de-
termined dash against the Russian centre.
The Russian campaign In Poland has
been changed since Saturday, when the
German concentrated attack between
11lawa and Plock failed.
The Russian staft believes that last
weeks effort of Won Hindenburg was the
high-water mark OF the German invasion
OF north Poland.
II was repulsed by the accumulated
Russian reserve The Germans are now
falling back, and there have been heavy
rear-guard engagements all day between
the retiring Germans and the Russian
cavalry from Mlawa across the East
Prussian frontier.

BRITISH WARSHIPS B0MBARD
GERMAN LINES AT WESTENDE
Fleets Cooperate with Land Forces
in Drive on ostend.

PARIS, Dec. l6.
British warshps have renewed their
activities against the Germans on the
Belgian coast and have bombarded West
ende. which is now held by the Kaiser's
troops. This was the chief feature of an
official statement issued here this after
noon although Il also stated that the
French had gained some ground and
that German attacks had been repulsed
by both Belgians and French
Westende lies on the road between
Nieuport and Ostend, seven miles west
of the latter city. The announcement of
the renewal of the British warships'
activity off the coast there indicates
that the Allies ara directing some of
their chief attacks toward Ostend.
The Allies drive at Klein Zllebeke,
south of Ypres, has won little ground,
but the chief advantage gained is the
driving of the formidable wedge farther
into the enemy's lines and so seriously
threatening his position that German
retreat at this point is confidently pre-
dicted.
North of the Alsne and in the Argonne
the artillery battle continues with un-
abated fury, and there have been scat
tered infantry charges by both sides,
without developing important results.
According to the reports from the front
the advance of the Allies now develop
ing Is far heavier than any offensive
movement assumed by the French, Brit
ish and Belgian forces since Won Kluk'
army was turned on the Aisne. II Is
the result of a complete change of plan
by Generals Jaffre and French, and
means that the campaign which was to
have been begun in the spring is now
under way.
If this new movement is successful the
Germans will be thrown back on their
Second line in Belgium, the one reaching
from Bruges to Courtrai, within three
weeks.
A Rotterdam dispatch says that the
newspaper La Belgique declares that the
retreat OF the Germans toward prepared
positions east of the User is confirmed.
Masses of troops have been concentrated
along line embracing Bruges, Thiet
and Courtrai, with general headquarters
at Thelt.

war on the fly should go hand IN

cleaned during the week Of April u,
and kept clean the remainder OF the

This statement by DR.. Arthur Muir

the cleanup campaign was primarily

Scientists have pronounced t!phoio

Iieves that the annual cleanup cam

sprfne in removing trash ana oe-

Several forms of death may be ad-
n,,u,stered to the fly. The one es-
xon,:al thing is to be sure that death
results. Formaldehyde is reported

SAYS FoRNIEE SNOWMAN
 DESERVES NICHE OF FAME

Robert Blel, a showman in Daw- son in the early days, is given the credit in the Mining Age of october 9. of bringing to the attention or the Morgans the rich bonanza cop her properties of the GugGenhelms, lying at the head of copper rlver' midway between Dawson and Cor dova, and close to the Chisana camp The Mining Age gives the story i'll reply to a query from man from West virginia, and says:
 'Bhe man who more than all others deserves the proper credit was Robert Blei, formerly of the Roster & Bial theater circuit of New York, and who was in the thea trical business in Dawson in the eaarly Klondike days, Blei at first knew nothing about mines, put from the nature of his profession he did know the value of publicity
 "In the early days of the great Klondike rush persistent rumors were circulated that yenturesome prospectors had discovered q phe- nomenally rich copper deposit near { the headwaters of the Copper river' in the almost inaccessible interior surrounded by giant mountains coy cred with eternal snows and mann moth glaciers.
 "On their first circulation these stories were hooted with scorn' every one saying that "I guess the Klondike is plenty inaccessible and will hold Us for awhile" Blei had seen in this marvellous rush how mankind when enthused with the de sire for mineral wealth would over come any natural obstacle. He hal arrived @ little too late to participate in the phenomenal min eral acquisitions of the first in vaders. but dispensing the drama to the newly rich miners was about as remuEerative as the pay-streak in a bonanza gold placer. However, he wSs nocculated with the virus Of mining. and, accompanied by a prac- tical and experienced miner. he decided to personally investigate the stories. The classic story of Keno phon's retreat with his 10000 was picnic compared with such a trip. However, he found things as rep resented and annexed a generous lot of claims. Then he returned to civilization and let the news break The result of this and other publicity made Blei a rich man and caus- ed the houses of Morgan and Gug- geuheim to build a $1O,O0O,OOO rail road to connect this mammoth copper bonanza with salt water. The rest is history. Without this indomitably optimistic promoter and erstwhile theatrical operator this present source of new wealth would still be buried in Arctic snows.
 Recent advices from Cordova, Alaska, state that the capacity of the mill at the Bonanza mine now owned by what is called the Alaska Syndicate has beSn increased to 800 tons per day. Development work is now down to the 7OO-foot level, with an incline something oyer 1900 it. long, still in a splendid body Of ore. Great quantities of high grade glance are found in this property, ranging from 60 to v per cent copper. The development work is still opening up large bodies, and the ore is brought to the mill over an areial tram three
