a series of decisive battles and in
vesting two northern provinces,
the Russian army has made fur
ther advance into German East
Prussia. Reports say the forti-
lied city of Konigsberg has been
destroyed by the Russians. The
eastern German army is being
considerably REINFORCED by many
army corps from the west, how
ever, and the Slav invasion of the

For more than a week a battle has
been raging steadily along a l20-mile
line forming n crescent northwest.
north and northeast OF Paris. A mil.
lion and a half men are engaged on
each side. The Germans are calling
upon their reserve forces In Belgium
and the French and British are being
constantly REINFORCED with fresh men
from the south OF France and Eng.
land.
That the Germans have been re-
treating steadily for several days Is
not an indication that they are beaten.
They advanced with such rapidity that
their lines OF communication with
their bases OF supplies were naturally
weak. When attacked vigorously with
the full weight OF the allied army In
both front and fiank. the kaisers army
crumpled a bit. Their losses have
been 80 heavy they have been forced
to retire for a reformation Of corps
and a brief period Of rest. The allies,

This morning Johnny fell into the
hands of the truant officer, A. c. Hen

mother had thought it best for the
court to look after her son. Johnny

result being that he was taken into

that added hotel facili--

E. D. Miller and Sam S. Porter,
under the firm name of Miller &
Porter, have leased the Barbara

years, the rental amounting to S270,-

well known hotel men, being at this

name? There are two men in st. Paul
who have been attempting for the last
two months to figure out just what
there is in their names. They both
bear exactly the same names down
to the very last letter and to the pro-
nunciation. Their name is August Ho-
henstein. One is a grocer and the
other is agent for life insurance
company. Both are old residents of
ST. Paul and both are today in the
running for the city council. Neither
is willing to withdraw in favor of
his namesake. Is
Under the state law, the names that
appear on ballots cannot have any des-
ignating mark. For instance, August
Hohenstein, the grocer, could not have
"No. 1" placed after his name to set
him apart from the life insurance
agent of the same name. Compro-
misses, law suits, settlements and
grand jury indictments are threatened
by both Hohensteins to force each 9th
er to withdraw, but neither will give in
and the prospects are that both names
will go on the ballot. The attorneys
who are trying to adjust the matter
are on the verge of Mysteries. They
don't even know how they'll tell which
one is elected.
