GsARM|IES CLASH
0UTSIDEs5WARSAW
Russians TO Defend Capital
Of Poland.
.LULL At OTHER POINTS
Russians Are Successful In GaIlcia
and Official Report Says Kaiser Is
Checked.

Fighting between German and Rus
sian troops is now going on within
eight miles of Warsaw, Russian Po-
land.
The official Russian decision to de-
fend the city of Warsaw is regarded
as important in two ways. First, 1t In
dicates that the Germans have been
thwarted In their attempts to straight
en- their front along north and south
line, so that it would extend from Os-
trodenska, sixty miles northeast OF
Warsaw, through Sanonur, into Cali
cia, and, second, the Germans have
been obstructed In their plan to use
Warsaw as winter quarters.
With the exception of an engage
ment south of Przemysl, where the
Russian left wing is reported as haV'
ing been successful, repulsing the ad'
vancing Austrians and Germans, ac'
tivity at other points on the line ap'
pears to have been suspended.
German troops are now around Po-
langen and Jurburg, short distance
from the Russian frontier, in the
northern part of East Prussia. The
Russians at present are making no
effort to advance further than the
boundary of East Prussia.
Here the fighting has ceased, while
along the southern limits of East Prus-
sia there are few troops of either
army until the Vistula river Is reach
ed. Here the Germans are endeaVor-
ing to advance along the left bank Of
this stream to avoid the strong for
tress OF Georgievsk on the right bank
of the river.
Russian experts are of the opinion
that the German plan is to attempt to
carry the war. into East Galicia and
the Lemberg district. This is indicated
by the German abandonment of the
attempt to advance eastward into
Russia in favor of the project of strik-
ing southwark. &c..
The Germans have been checked II
their advance on Warsaw and in Rus
sian Poland, it was officially announc-
ed. 1t was also stated that the cam
paign against the Austrians in Gall
ella and the efforts to take the. Aus
trian tronghold of Przemysl are meet
ing with continued success.

A score of bombs, launched on diff
ferent quarters of Paris by two Ger
man aviators, killed three civilians
and injured fourteen others. The dam.
age to property was slight.
The airmen appeared soon after
noon on Sunday. One began the at
tack by dropping bomb near the
Northern railway terminal, another In
the Rue st. Lazare and third at the
rear of the Cathedral of Notre Dame.
Three more bombs were hurled by the
same airmen in the vicinity Of the
Bourse.
A house was set on fire, but the
loss was not great. One of these mis-
siles struck within 100 yards Of an
Office occupied by American newspa

The second aeroplane also flew over
the cathedral, dropping four bombs,
one of which fell on the roof, but fall

The rebellion among the forces OF

brewing since the resignation OF Cen

AS soon as the government realized

Maritz, who has been given the Ger.

MOTOR CARS
FAVORED IN s. AFRICA \

WASHINGTON. Jan. I5.-South
Africa is not all jungle, swamp. and
wilderness. and the natives and Euro
peans there seem to have a strong
liking for American made motor cars.
Ihe casual tourist to that part of the
globe might expect to see baboons
swinging by their tails from branches
overhanging the narrow trails, but
he'd be disappointed. Instead he
would probably see dozen wealthy
farmers or miners speeding along the
wen kept road to every stray monkey
he chanced to spy.
Figures just made public by the de-
partment of commerce show that the
medium priced automobile made in
America has sprung into the most as
tonishing popularity in the past three
years in South Africa. During the
year ending June 80 1910. American
automobiles valued at s61,1S5 were
purchased by South Africans Three
years later the value was s1.167,371.
Experts in commerce declare that the
success in this market is a refutation
of the oft-repeated assertion that Ger
man competition is driving American
manufacturers from the foreign trade
field.
Britons engaged in the export trade
to South Africa and British East AZ
rica are showing alarm over the en-
ormous gains made by the American
merchants in this end and the cotton
field. and the English trade publica-
tions are repeatedly warning the mer-
chants of England that the aggressive
policy of their American competitors
is making huge inroads into the mar
ket of South Africa where until re-
Gently England and Germany had mo.

TANGO TAKES IT'S

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-THE
tango toe is little brother to the
tango knee. and it's poor tea dance

The tango knee owes it's discovery
to Mrs. Coleridge Ertz, whose grace

Ertz blames an aqueous knee cap
which has kept her off the st. Fran

mands.
The tango toe Is masculine afflic-

VALUABLE SEEDS

TER CENTURY OF WORK
BY LUTHER BURBANK.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-When
planting time comes next spring there
IL one crop for which the seeds will
be taken from burglar and fire
proof vault in San Francisco.
These seeds represent more thar
quarter of century of work by
Luther Burbank. II lost or destroyed
they could not be duplicated, at any
rate for years. and 1t was to guard
against this that the Luther Burbank
company recently s'o~ci tNem in the
strong rooms Of the Union Trust com.
pany and the Seaboard National
bank.
One seed is "A new kind of flax
from which the oil of which artists
will make their paint. Another is a
cereal known as quino to take the
place of wheat, barley or oats.
Painters have long complained that
the oil which their paints are mixed
Is not neutral because of the variable
ness of the flaxseed from which it is
made. and consequently that it often
gives unexpected and sometimes un-
satisfactory effects. Burbank began
gathering gathering every kind of flax
from all parts of the world years ago,
selected a certain seed as his ideal
and began developing the plant to
grow only this type. Year after year
the seed was planted and when it was
ripe only those were kept that were
of the type desired. Finally a point
has been reached where the variety
seems to have become fixed. Bur-
bank declares that the oil it produces
is absolutely neutral.
, The quino plant is designed to take
the place of cereal foods made from
different grains. The seed resembles
"A small hominy and the plant looks
like wild mustard. II is claimed to
have all the food values of other
grains, and is much cheaper. More
over in making cracked wheat. rolled
oats or barley much OF the grain is
wasted. The entire seed of the new
plant is utilized. Originally 1t came

Edwards OF the Luther Burbank
company. because IL they are de-
stroyed they would never be repro

and doubt II Burbank would live
long enough to develop them again.
II will be, several years before we
shall be able to raise sufficient
quantity of either seed to be placed
