SMITH WINS IN

Georgia Senator Defeats Plan to

uAsHINGTON, Feb. l3.-The fight

End Of the smith-Lever tll ended IN
-,,,,ete victory for Senator Hoke
e.,,itb The amendment of Senator
,,,mmins. Of Iowa, was defeated by a
vote of 40 10 Is.
rba rim as had been reported pro-
..,sos for distribution on basis OF
-,,ral population, and the Cummins
amendment provided for a distribu-
ion an basis of acreage under Gull
.,ration which would have given the
c+o,e Of Iowa two and a half times
as much as Georgia, although Georgia
has larger population than Iowa.
Short Talk Effective.
senator Smiths speech was short
occupying not more than 40 minutes
in its delivery. but it was com
Mote answer to everything that had
bean said by the opposition during the
saveral DAYS of the debate. Senator
Cummins' fight on the bill grew out of
cha fact that under its terms the
southern yates would receive a larger
percentage of the fund than would
On 10 the Western States, due to the
fact that the farms in the West are
larger in proportion to the population
han are the farms of the South. In
the percentage of cultivated land,
Iowa stands at the head of the list,
that State having about So per cent
under cultivation. The average in the
United States is 20 per cent. To dl-
vide the money on a basis of Guilt
waited acres would, therefore, be ire
mendously to the advantage of Iowa.
Westerners Aid Cummins.
The same conditions would apply in
a less degree to other Western States,
and Senator Cummins found support
for his position among some of the
Western Senators. Senator CummiHs
had also compared the value of the
agricultural products of Iowa with the
value of the agricultural products of
Georgia to the disadvantage of Geor-
eia. on all these propositions Sena-
tor Smith met the lowan with a COM
pete answer.
Senator Smith said the basic idea
was the education of men, women and
children in matters pertaining to ag-
ricuture and home economics. The
plan included every phase of rural
ife-soil conservation, scientific cul-
,iyation. horticulture, stock raising,
cooperative marketing, etc. He said
the States of the West could be cui-
tivsted largely by machinery, while
in the South the crops had to be cul-
,ivated and harvested by hand. No
machines could cultivate and pick
cotton, and yet cotton is the crop that
brings in gold from foreign lands.

Paris.-Amiens, the capital of the

captured by the Germans and the
Somme Valley has been lost to the
Allies. LIE Fere, one of the weaker
fortihcation north of Paris, has also
been taken. The British report that
they cut up several troops of Ger
man cavalry and infantry in the for
est Of Compiegne. Three million
Frenchmen, it is said, are now under
arms to defend Paris and new in
trenchments are being constructed
under the direction of Gen. Gallieni,
the military Governor Of Paris. In
his proclamation the Governor says
that the members Of the Government
have left Paris in order to give a
new impetus to the defence of the
nation. Only, two gates in Paris are
open, Porte Maillot on the northwest
and Porte de Bercy on the south
west. They are both strongly guard
ed and defended by barricades.
An immense and complicated sys-
tenn Of intrenchments is being con-
structed outside the city in prepara-
ton for the German attack.
The exodus from Paris continues.
The desire to save the women and
children from privations and perhaps
the horrors Of a long siege is grow.
ing in intensity every hour.
All the terminals for the west and |
south Of France present extraordinary
scenes. Every sort Of baggage, every |
kind of household effect, is scattered /
IN immense heaps about the stations.
while their owners are camping round |
them waiting the departure of their
trains.
This is due not only to the flight
from the city itself. but to the fact |
hat Paris is the through station for
he refugees of the country round.
In the meantime those who have
o remain in the city are laying in
| supply Of provisions, including flour,
canned milk, salt, sugar, tea, coffee
ind fruit. It is foreseen that the
supply of vegetables will remain plen-
iful. There is an especially large

Fall Of Lemberg
Opens Roads to
Russian Forces
Austrians Steadily Driven Back Day
After Day With Enormous Losses,
Until They Break Into "Disor-
derIy Flight and Panic.

Petrograd, (St Petersburg) The
Russian General STAFF gives a detailed
account Of the fighting in Galicia
which resulted in the capture of Lem,
berg.
Between Aug. 81 and Sept. in
one district of the upper course
of the River Lipa alone, where
the enemy's line was broken, the
Austrians lost 1900 men in killed
or wounded.
The retreat of the enemy after
his defeat at Lemberg assumed the
character Of disorderIy flight and
panic, and the Russians took 200
guns, together with the baggage
and tens of thousands of prisoners.
1t is believed that the remnant of
the second Austrian army Is now
no longer Of any military value.
On Sept. 2, when the Russians
were drawing up within cannc1
shot of Lemberg, the surrounding
forts did not stop this advance. The
same day Lemberg was closely
surrounded by Russian troops and
was captured, with enormous quan-

Galician side was brilliant, the right
wing Of the Austrian army having
been decisively turned and cut to
pieces, leaving 10000 prisoners in IL !

On the Vistula front, where the

Of important reinforcements enabled
the Russians to take vigorous often

captured a large number of pieces OF

The Russians, the dispatch adds,
executed many bayonet charges
against the Austrians, which had q
large share in deciding the issue Of
the battle. Elsewhere the Germans,

the Austrians, sought to meet the
Russian attack with counter often

FRENCH ARMY'S LOSS 15o,-
600; GERMANS PLACED
AT 10000

London. - The Standards
Paris correspondent in a teIe-
gram says that the losses of
the French northern army
which has been operating in
Belgium and between Paris and
the Franco-BeIeium frontier are
estimated at about 100000 kill
ed, wounded and missing. It is
assumed that the majority of
the missing are dead, and the
total number of dead Is said to
exceed 10000.
The German losses cannot be
estimated with the same prob.
ability Of accuracy, but II is
thought that the German forces
opposing this part Of the French
army must have lost fully 15o,-
600, Of whom between 25,ooo
and 10000 are estimated to
have been killed.
A despatch from Berlin
quotes the TaeebIatt as saying
that the prisoners now in the
hands of Germany are as fol-
lows: French, 2s3 officers, 49,
600 men; Russian, 70 officers,
10000 men; Belgian, $1,000

Paris.--A proclamation has been is
sued By the French Government an
nouncing that the Government depart

The significant feature Of the proc
lamation is that Paris is soon to be-
come sort of pivot in the manoeu-
vres between the allied armies and
the Germans. For this reason the
Government naturally cannot remain
mere.
Several days ago, when the ques-
ton of removing the Government de-
partments from Paris to Bordeaux was
under consideration, it was said this
action would not be taken until it be-
came necessary.
That the French Government felt
it necessary to leave Paris is direct
official confirmation of the announce
ment that the Germans are at the
gates Of Paris.

as near Paris as Compiegne, which

cording 70 popular speculation, g not
I to besiese Paris but to attempt to
foroe breach ~ the chain 6E fortress
es with their newest Krupp guns, and
gain entrance to the capital as they
did a Idege and Namur.
Gen. GaIlieni maintained his conf
dence that Paris can hold ont for an
indefinite period and he has his troops
at their positions awaiting the Ger
man attack
Fresh troops from the South are be-
ing rushed through the city to the
points Of contact. Soldiers marched
through the streets all through the
night and the day. 1t is asserted
that every possible approach to the
capital has been occupied.
Just as the citizens OF Paris were
straining their ears expecting to hear
the guns Of the German invaders be-
gin hammering at the outer defenses
Of the city, the allied forces along the
Oise made desperate rally, checked
the Germans advance and obliged
them to retreat toward st. Quentin.
The Allies, under Gen. Joffre and
Gen. French, were ordered to hold |
back the point of the wedge" of the |
Kaiser's hosts at any cost and a
fierce battle ensued in the forests of
Compiegne, resulting in. the retreat
Of the Teutons.
The German extreme right and cen.
ter marched steadily toward Paris
down the valley of the Disc and their
cavalry detachments even reached
Clermont, IS miles from Paris. and
the roar of their guns was heard in
Chantilly, but 20 miles from the me-
tropolis.
1t is the conviction of all who have
studied the matter that the Germans
will leave before Paris only enough
% make sortie ineffective and then
continue the effort to drive back the
allies and seek to cut of their lines

So far as the bombardment Of Paris
s concerned, it is believed that the
Germans will pursue the same plan
hat they adopted so successfully at
Aege and Namur-namely, to con-
entrate their great siege guns upon I
me or two of the forts and by break
