TEN DAY CANVASS
AIM OF CHARITIES
TO RAISE $4,000
Committee Plans Campaign
to Bring Total for Winter
to $7,OO0-PreviOus Effort
Nets Work $4,000.

The governing committee of the
central bureau will fix a date at it's
Monday meeting to open ten days
campaign to raise $4,000 for charity
work this winter and end for the year
any demands on citizens.
The budget of the charity bureau
calls for $1,000 of which $4,000 has
been raised through the efforts of the
members of the bureau. AS most of the
committee members are business or
professional people with little time for
charity canvassing, it was decided to
make united ten days effort to
secure pledges.
One pledge which a wholesale deal
er made is appreciated by Secretary
Melpolder. The dealer agreed to give
twenty-five pounds of sausage, meat
and lard every week during the
winter.

ELECTION OFFICIAL
RETURNS BALLOTS

County commissioners today start
cd an investigation of an illegal trans
action in returning voted ballots on
the election Tuesday. Al Brown. court
house custodian, discovered the fact
through holding up IA ballot box OF
unusual weight.
1t is not expected that anything will
develop from the investigation as the
commissioners are inclined to believe
the inspector made the mistake
through ignorance and without knowl-
edge of the law concerning The return
of voted ballots. The name Of the in
spector will be secured by comparing
the initials on the ballots to those or
the Wayne county election officials.
The official may legally be fined for
the OffenSe.

BERLIN, via Amsterdam, Nov. T.
The German war office remains silent
upon operations against the Russians
III the eastern theatre Of war but
claims successes at several points in
Belgium and France.
A Vienna telegram contains the fol.
lowing eXtraC. from an analysis Of the
situation written by the war expert OF
the Neufe Frier presse:
early In October the Russians be-
gan the siege of PrZemysl with five
army corps and great masses of caval-
~. Mixed columns We're shifted to the
front to launch a blow against the
German frontier.
The surprising advance of the Aus
TRANS against lvangorod and the
movement army against Warsaw fore
ed the Russians behind the Nistula.
Their deployment was delayed by the
successful attacks Of the armies under
general Won Hindenburg and General
Dankel.
"Although delayed by unavoidable
causes, the AuStrians were able to
push another army corps across Cali
cia to the relief of Przemysl where tn e
Garrison was fighting nobly against
overwhelming numbers. The AuStrians

We're forced back, losing heavily in
killed, wounded and prisoners. In the
meantime the Russians planned an in
vasion of Hungary and actually got
troops into the Kingdom, through the
passes OF the Carpathians, but the Aus
trians had no difficulty in pushing
them back although the invaders
fought fiercely to retain their ground.
The Russians then brought superior
numbers in Russian Poland into &C
ton. but were forced to direct them in
a southwesterly direction against the
allied Austro-German army instead of
against East Prussia, as had been con
templated General Won Hindenberg
and General Dankel gave ground slow,
lv before the advance Of the Russians
Our advance In Russian Poland
brought it about that the Russians
were diverted from their contemplated
main attack against the German from
tier and all their forces were engaged
in pressing against us.

TWO CANARY BIRDS PLAY BIG
PART IN mine RESCUE WORK
They Hop Down to Determine Whether There is ANY Cas-
Birds Can Stand Only One Tenth AS Much AS Man.

"Frank and Krog," little canary
birds, are two of the most important
members Of the party of experts in
charge of the Lake Superior district
:ar Of the United States bureau of
mines, which arrived in Virginia yes
terday morning. The car is stationed
IT. the headquarters of the Oliver Iron
Mining company and will remain there
until May 2.
The birds are used to sample the
air in the mines. They are suscep-
tible to gas and are affected by one
tenth of the amount that it takes to
affect human being. The canaries
are particularly valuable in determin-
ing whether there is carbon monoxide
in the mines. This gas is odorless
and tasteless and the miner never
knows that he is affected by it unless
he has breathed enough of the foul
air to be overcome. This gas may be
thrown off by timber as well as coal.
No H0odoO Feared.

are featured by the experts on the
rescue car, they hold no qualms about
The hoodoo 13, and part Of their equip
ment consists of 13 mouth breathing
type, two-hour machines, II Of which
are of the Ploto-F -Fleuss make. The
other machines are the Draeger and
Westfalia makes. The rest Of the
equipment consists Of a high filling
pump to compress the air from the
storage tanks at pressure of 90
pounds, Davey safety lamps for test
ing gas in the coal mines, and shaft
signaling device, which allows the
wearer to enter a mine to the depth
Of 900 feet and keep in communica-
tion with the outside world by a code
!of bell signals.
The first practical use Of the signal
ing device was at the Fogarty mine
at Iron River, Mich. The apparatus
then was in 4 crude state, but worked
out successfully and the bureau OF
mines soon ordered one made up for
demonstration purposes.
