London, Dec 1.-The enyeicping
movement of the Russians at LODI
has apparently failed but the losses
suffered by the Germans in their cf-
fort 10 break through have been cnor-
nous and have forced Marshal Won
Hindenburg TO call up reinforcemen's
from every available point. The bat
tie, with Lodz as the center, coutinu
ed today without further result.
With both headquarters claiming
successes. it is impossible to say how
the struggle is going. or its ;atensi-
~, however, there can be no doubt
The Germans, when they started
for Warsaw, dashed full tilt into 4
mass Of Russian troops and forced
their way so far in that the Russians
closed on them. This was taken in
Petrograd to mean that some Of the
German divisions had been cut of
and that their surrender or annihla
ton was inevitable.
1t appears. however. that fighting
for their very lives and in the know
ledge that great defeat would end
the German defensive and compel
them TO fall back on their own front
iers, the German troops succeeded ir
breaking through the Russian lines
at one place and at another in hold
ing their entertainments against al
Russian attacks. Their tanks arc
still being haraSsed by the Cossacks
but seemingly the Russians are now
in a position to gain the sweeping
victory they had anticipated
The losses, with the desperate fight
ing that has been going on for fort
night, must necessarily be very heavy
on both sides.

night They show that while Gen.
Emilano Zapata has been in Mexico
City he has declined to so to the ma

alton from the Mexican capital is
that Gen. Villa similarly has arrived
in the outskirts of the city and that
both chiefs await the arrival of Pro
visonal President Gutierrez. The
official dispatches gave a much more
hopeful and optimistic review of con

ment has received in many weeks.
Gen. Villa entered Mexico City Mon
day at the head of about $4,000 troops,
He arrived during Sunday afternoon
in the suburbs, where he remained

PRAYER BEFORE BATTLE.
When Whole Army kneIt Before tho
Order 70 Attack.


During one OF the numerous wars
wagcd by France two centuries ago a
strange scene took place near Saluzzo,
a disputed outpost. which well illus.
trates the religious spirit which often
prevailed among the soldiers Of earlier
times.
The French approached the besieg-
ers' lines, and both armies were ar
ranged for conflict The sun shone
from a cloudleSs sky; every detail on
each array in the field was visible to
the other. and both were beheld at
once from the citadel.
There were three French marshals
present. and 1t was Schomberg's turn
to command. He drew up his 10000
men in four lines, with skirmishers in
front. and the regular cavalry were
placed ut stated intervals, ready to
charge.
In this impressive order and in abso-
lutte silence the French advanced until
nearly within cannon shot. when ut a
signal the army was halted and stimuli
taneously knelt down 10 pray. Then
followed the order TO attack. which
was silently and cheerfully obeyed.
The battle was not TO be, however.

kerry, suddenly appeared. rode at a

PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND
Vermont's Permanent investments
Yield Revenue of $685. 1873 Biennially


Ve,mont's permanent school fund
now amounts to $1,175,271 and the
payment to towns of the interest upon
it amounted to s99193 for the bien-
NAL period, according to the annual
report of the trustees, just published.
In view OF current discussions about
the common schools of Vermont, the
trustees quote as follows from former
reports:
1--WE submit to the wisdom of the
Legislature the great question of the
annual income from this sacred
school fund TO those schools and in
such towns in the state where it is
most needed and where it will best
promote the educational opportunity
of our youth and reform our greatest
educational needs" They also quite:
while university, academical and
high school education is to be foster.
ed and advanced. it yet remains true
that the great majority of our youth
are limited in opportunity to the
ltdNullbS VI tht NOhlillOu oNbpOlo'
The purpose of our state government
should continue to be to make the
schools of the people as good as they
can be made"
The trustees urge the wisdom on
the part of the towns of paying their
unpaid obligation TO the United
States Deposit Fund and on the part
Of the state the wise policy of dis
charging its obligation to the Hunt
ington fund as soon as practicable.
They also urge serious consideration
OF the auditor of accounts, 1914,
specifically this.
Bonds or other evidence of in
debtedness on the part of the state to
the Huntington fund should be is
sued to the trustees of the permanent
school fund and in this connection IL
might be well for the state to refund
to the trustees OF the ornament
school fund the common school fund
OF 1925, which the Legislature of 1874
repudiated after using this fund TO re
build the state house In 1874 this
fund had reached almost $250,000.

THE KORAN IN TURKISH.
How the Sacred Tradition of Centuries
Has Been Broken.

Nine OUT of ten foreigners usually
think of the Koran as being written
in the Turkish language. while. as
matter OF fact. 1t IS written in Arabic
and In Arabic characters. The Turkish
language. strange MS it may seem, has
no characters OF its own. and Turkish
books are usually printed with Arabic
or Greek characters; hence the ex-
element in religious circles in Turkey
on the appearance Of the Koran for
the first time in the Turkish vernacu-
lar.
The translation has been done by
lbrahm Bey Hilmy, a learned oriental.
who by giving Turks an opportunity
OF expressing their religious sentiments
in their own mother tongue will doubt
less be suitably rewarded by both
church and state.
The shcik nj Islam at Constantinople
heretofore prohibited the publication
OF the Koran in the vernacuar on the
plea that since no translator could
strictly conform TO the original he
would be sure to make mistakes and
those mistakes would be sacrilege. In
this the sheik has usually been sup
ported by the prime minister and the
Young Turks. who in spite OF the lib
eral ideas on religion that some OF
them are known TO entertain. cannot

portant n matter. But it seems that
Ibrahim Bey Hilmy. who Is master OF
both Arabic and Turkish. 10 say moth
ing OF Persian. Hebrew and Greek. has
produced a translation which the lead
ers OF Islam by majority applaud.
Thus is Il that the sacred tradition Of
centuries is broken. - Constantinope
