PREPARE
TO DEFEND WARSAW
Army, Driven from Lodz,
Straightens Line for
Fierce Resistance.
[By Cable TO Tho Tribune.l

Petrograd, Dec. THE Russian army
in Western Poland, whose centre was
driven from the city Of LODI after des-
perate hand-to-hand fighting, has
Strengthened it's line for determined
resistance against the German drive
toward Warsaw, seventy-fve miles to
the northeast.
Meanwhile the Russians big guns
from their emplacements northwest oil
the town of Wiehiczka, are pounding
away at the outer forts Of Cracow on
the northern boundary Of Galicia. .
is evident, according TO military ex'
perts, that the bombardment OF the
Austrian stronghold marks new phase
IN what is TO be the main offensive
movement Of the forces Of Grand Duke
Nicholas.
The fall of Cracow, il is pointed out
would mean the control Of roads, prac-
tically free from permanent fortifca-
tions. TO Breslau, $50 miles away, the
great southeastern defence OF Berlin
and TO Vienna, 200 miles distant. The
menace Of an invasion Of silesia
through Cracow, it is believed, Will
bring large force of General Won
Hindenburg's srmy from Poland II the
Russians are able to prevent for any
considerable time an advance upon
Warsaw.
German Losses 100000.
The capture of LODI by the Germans,
it is held, furnishes no particular
strategic advantage, as the city Is un-
fortified. However. It marks an ad-
vance of several miles from the Ger
man position, which for two weeks had
occupied front west of the places ex-
tending twenty-five miles from Szadek
to Strykof.
The winning Of the city, unofficial
dispatches say, cost the Germans heav-
ily According to the "Bourse Ca
zette," their losses in the fighting
around LOQZ III lhc ldoN tiVHs" ""'N
reached 100000. This would represent
one-fifth of the total strength of the
force.
One report says that 10000 Germans,
the survivors of one of General Won
MacKensen's divisions, surrendered
during their battle to escape from the
Russians surrounding movement.
The fall of Lodz has not been offi-
cially confirmed by the grand duke, al
though the official report from Berlin
announcing its capture on Sunday is
accepted here as true.
An official report, dated Sunday, the
day of the reported fall of Lodz, makes
no mention Of the fact. 1t follows:
Yesterdays .:gnting passed without
change. The essential engagements
are continuing anc the German attacks
have been repulsed.'
The success of the Germans at Lodz,
largely because Of what preceded 1t, is
regarded by military experts as a real
lv remarkable achievement. Less than
a fortnight ago the army to which this
victory has fallen was surrounded by
Russians, and cut its way out only at
the last moment, losing great numbers
of men and many guns. Yet 1t was
able within a few days TO reorganlze,
take the offensive and defeat the Rus
SLAMS defending the city.

What Farm Demonstration
Work Did For White

Searcy, Ark, Dec. Is, 10.
Mr.. R. C. Davidson.
Little Rock, Ark.
Dear Sir:
With reference to the Demon
stration work in White county,
| beg to submit to you my opin-
ion on the subject.
-Four years ago when this
work was first begun, there was
practically no enthusiasm what
ever in farming in this commun-
ity. The greater products that
we raised usually cIassed about
the bottom of the list. The
young men were leaving the
farms, and the older ones dis
couraged, but conditions are re-
versed now. Our products, es-
pecially cotton, has increased in
grade, at least twenty per cent !;
Our corn is as much, if not bet
ter; our fruits and vegetables
and other farm products on
equal comparison.
1t is hard to estimate the good
that we think has been done in
this county. It is without doubt
the greatest move that has ever
been made in this direction.
Most especially do | want to
commend Mrs. Ella w. Lambert
our canning Demonstration, and
Mr.. Joel Lambert, our Farm
Demonstration. The good that
these two people have accom-
plished cannot be measured in
dollars and cents. | feel that
within the next five years there
will be a complete revolution in
the farming industry in this
part of the state of Arkansas,
and it will be brought about en-
tirely through the Demonstra-
ton Work organized by the Ag-
ricultural Department of the
Government.
Very sincerely yours,
J. H. DEENER,
Cashier of Bank.

Boys Exploded Dynamite.

The town of Brookland was in
great excitement Wednesday ev-
ening at twelve o'clock, when
an explosion, which shook the
entire ttown, and surrounding
country, took place. When the
explosion was first heard it was
thought that the safe in the
Bank of Brookland had been
blown, as it had been on two pre-
vious occasions. The cause of
the excitement, however, proved
to be that a number of the young
fellows of the town were cele-
brating New Years and had set
| off heavy charge of dynamite
| in the center of the town, the re-
suit of which was that the plate
glass fronts of four of the lead

were completely demolished. No
one was hurt by the explosion

New Years Resolutions.

Any little fault will do to start
with. For example, resolve to
leave off the habit of talking
too much, or not to indulge in
any slang expressions during the
year 1914, or not, to sleep too
much, or control your temper
and your tongue, to return all
borrowed books, not to forget
that there are others, to consid-
err fairly and kindly the merits
as we'll as the faults of others,
to help mother, and not to for
get father when you go shop
ping, to leave off forever the bad
habit of running your automo-
bile too fast. There will be found
in almost every case some little
weakness to practice on, some
blemish that it will be in order
to remove, and your character
will be strengthened some by ev-
cry victory you win; besides,
you will be encouraging and help
ing others who may have more
serious tasks than you have

nounced an adjournment until

nounced an adjournment until
9 o'clock tomorrow morning,
when he will again take up the
matter. The fight prob
be made on the legality of GER

Anticipating that the whiskey
petition would be presented
when court opened this morn
ing, large audience greeted
Judge Moliter when he opened
court. Nearly every saloon man
in Helena and several bartend-
ers on an enforced holiday, were
seated near the bench. Many
women were in the audience.
The whole question appeared
to hinge upon the legality of GER
tain names on the petition pre-
scented to Judge Moliter by the
saloon men and the authentici-
ty of the city census taken some
time ago by the same persons.
Judge Moliter said in the begin
ming that he was there to be

both sides made desperate at
tempts to SHOW" him.
