RUSSIANS FLEE
SAYS GERMANY
Berlin Hopes Invasion Peril End
ed-Czar Denies Disaster.
CHECK ENEMY IN GALICIA
Statement From Petrograd Claims
MuscovItes Have Captured Three
Thousand PrIsoners-Army
Lines Rearranged.

London, Dec. 21.-Although there
seems no doubt that the Russians are
retreating and that for the present
any anticipations the allies may have
held Of an early invasion of Germany
must be dismissed, considerable mys-
terry surrounds the reported decisive
victory by the Germans which Berlin
celebrated.
The following statement from the
general staff Of the Russian army was
made public in Petrograd:
ION the left bank of the Vistula an
almost complete lull has replaced the
attacks made by the enemy. All of
these attacks we repulsed.
I'm connection with the advance of
part Of our troops toward the Bzura
river (Russian Poland and in view of
the fact that the Austrians are contin-
ually receiving re-enforcements in the
Carpathians, I've have thought fit to re-
arrange the positions of some of our
armies.
1--WE checked the offensive of the
enemy in western Gallcia. We have
captured 5000 prisoners, several guns
and mitrailleuses
Berlin, Dec. 10, by wireless.-The Of
fetal press bureau gave out the fol-
lowing items:
I'm Poland we continue to pursue
the retreating enemy.
Although the headquarters report
is chary of details there is general ex-
pectation that the Russian defeat will
prove to have been compete. From
details already available, however, it
seems safe to say that the vivtory has
freed Germany for a long period from
any possible menace of invasion from
the east.

COURT DECIDES
RAILROAD CASES
PERE MARQUETTE WINS IN Up
PEAL INVOLVING BIG
VERDICT.
BERRIEN JURY IS REVERSED
HIoh Tribunal Hands Down Thirty
Five Decisions Saturday Most
OF Which Are Concerning
Railroads.

Lansing-Cases affecting railroads
formed the bulk of 80 decisions by the
supreme court Saturday.
The Pere Marquette was a winner
in case for damages brought by
Catherine NJ. Murphy. of Chicago. wild
ow of Dr. Alexander L. Murphy. OF
the save city, having a $4,000 YER
dict against it wiped out completely
and the doors barred to Mrs Murphy
against a further recovery. Murphy.
while on his way from Chicago to
Bangor, got off to stretch his legs at
Benton Harbor. His train stopped
there for five or six minutes, and
when Murphy started to board it, at
the cry of the conductor, he bumped
into a baggage truck left on the plat
form by the company, was thrown un-
der the wheels of the moving train
and instantly killed. This was the
contention of the widow, and Berrien
county jury gave her a verdict for
$4,000, despite the fact that the COM
pany alleged that he was guilty Of
contributing TO his own death by
jumping aboard a moving train. The
railroad appealed and the supreme
court rules with it. There was am
pie evidence, the court says. that the
man had plenty of time TO board the
train before it started to move. The
case is reversed without any new trial
and judgment is entered for the de-
PENDANT.
Marvin S. Brown of Toledo, early in
1913 met with an accident on the Ann
Arbor The train started suddenly
and he was thrown and his arm man
gled, amputation resulting. While in
the hospital he signed an agreement
with the road to accept 500 and hos
pital expenses. Later he sued, alleg-
ing that the agreement was got by the
roads claim agent while he, Brown.
was under the influence of opiates A
Washtenaw county jury gave him 49,
600, but the supreme court orders a
new trial for the incorrect admission
of certain evidence.
The Pere Marquette lost a decision
in a suit brought by John Daily, who
was injured prior to the taking over
of the road by the receivers were
named as defendants and filed a de-
murrer. The court below refused to
permit the attorneys for Daily to
amend the declaration. but the su-
preme court says that they have the
right to. The case starts all over
again.
The case of John NJ. Braun was
thrown out of the Kent county courts.
1t was an attempt to get damages
from the Grand Rapids. Grand Haven
& Muskegon interurban. Braun was
on the step. ready to alight from a car.
and was partly off the car when at a
signal from the conductor the car
started to go ahead. On the ground
that Braun was negligent himself the
Kent county court entered a verdict
for the defendant. The supreme court
says there was enough in the case to
let it go to the jury and orders a new
trial.

shelIed by German Warships, Casual
ties Are Put at 143 Persons.
London. Dec. 17.-Germany daringly
attacked England herself early in the
morning.
After a dash across the North sea
on a misty night a German flotilla
bombarded Hartlepool, Scarborough
and Whitby, unfortified cities on the
east coast Of England, early in the
morning.
1t is announced that 143 women and
men were killed. Churches were ru-
ined, hotels, dwellings and stores were
destroyed by the bombardment, which
endured 40 minutes, after which the
Germans steamed northward from
Scarborough and escaped pursuing
British cruisers.
The gun flashes indicated that four
big warships were firing. One shell
that has been picked up was IL inches
In diameter and 33 inches long.
The exploding shells of the bold
cruisers which slipped through the
British feet and the guard ships and
lodged the mines thickly strewn in
the North sea, dug holes in the streets
of Scarborough so wide and deep that
a railway truck could pass through
them.
Hurriedly called by wireless, British
warships fastened from the nearest
points to attack the enemy. But the
German cruiser force, made up of
their fastest cruisers, escaped in the
mist from the British squadron.
