BRING
 ANNOUNCEMENTS TO POLAND BATTLE

Berlin, Nov.= 24.-The newspapers have comparatively little comment on the appearance of refnforce1nents in the battle of Poland which the Rus sians. as at Warsaw, were able to bring up at an opportune moment.
 Major Morhat. the military critic of the TagebIatt. says it was to be ex- pected as large forces had been left behind to garrison the Vistula fort resses and the Russians advanced and these are now being hurried up in an endeavor to save the day.
 There is no indications in the head quarters bulletin where these fresh Russian troops have been thrown in but it is thought here that it was probably between Kusno and the Wis tula as early reports seem to indt- cate that the Russian corps defeated at W1oc1awk have taken a southwest erly line of retreat away from the river.
 Major Morhat. in an article evil dently drafted under the impressions he received from yesterdays report, doubts whether the Russian retire. nent north of the Vistula will be checked before Novoe Georgiewsk. These forces, he says, have ceased to be a danger to the left wing of the principal German army in fhe region

north of Lodz.
 The opposing Russian forces. he de- c1ares had not been able to continue their retirement upon the warsaw Iyangorod line but had been forced to accept battle around Lodz, several days march from the base of opera tions.
 The Russian front is now sung around facing northwest instead of west, according to Major Morhat, it's units having aimed together. It is now announced that two of the armies the 8th and the 9th. under General Won Hindenburg, are commanded re- spective1y by Generals Von Grancois and Von Mackenhen. General Kosch succeeds to the command of the first army corps. The lines on the west front seem to be frozen in and there is practically no change in the situa- tion since the storning Of Dixrnude.
 The military critics are andously awaiting the possible effect of the cold weather on the opposing armies. Ma jor Morhat believes the weather fa- vors the Germans who for years have been trained for winter campaigns and are fully equipped for cold weather while the Frenchmen from the south, the colonies and the Indian troops will suffer from winter condi- tions.

TERRIFIC BATTLE EXPECTED
 ON THE POLISH FRONTIER

London, NOV General Vor, Hin denburgss army. which last week was sweeping toward Warsaw in its sec ond advance through Russian Poland, today is reported from Petrograd to be in retreat after having experienced serious reverses at the hands of the Russians, who having been reinforced, made a brilliant stand between the Vistula and -Warta. rivers.
 The game despatcheS that tell or General Won Hndenburgss reverses, however, say that German reinforce ments were being brought up so that another great battle is likely to de- velop on a line nearer to the frontier of Posen, where the Germans will have the same chances of renewing a vigorous offensive as had the Rus sians in the present instance.
 General Won Hfndenburg has about 400. 600 men but if the Petrograd re- port can be accepted they have been separated, badly cut up and thousands taken prisoners so that they will re- quire reformation and rest after the severe punishment inflicted upon them following their daring advance ints the heart of Russian Poland.
 Tn the. western arena of the war the presetn lines of battle seem to be fro zen into position as if in conformity with the wintry conditions Rheims, Soissons and Ypres continue to sui fer from the connonading of the Ger mans that has been going on for weeks but there has been no renewal | Of the concerted German attempt to break through to the coast although all signs seem to indicate that they may undertake this movement again

at any moment. Still more troops are being brought up and 1t is now said the plan is to reach the French coast by Dec. 10.
 The Germans show few signs of be- ing staggered by their enormous loss es in Flanders and despatches from Berlin assert. that the German troops are far better able to stand exposure to the cold than are the allies. The forces of Emperor William, these des- patches claim, are trained and clothed for just such an emergency, while the troops Of the allies from the south of France, Morocco and India, must nec- esariiy suffer greatly.
 The fourth contingent of fresh Ger man troops is now said to be in Elan ders and this week should see re- newai of the violent German offensive somewhere between Arras and the sea. If this fails, it is argued that the Germans will abandon the at tempt and fall back on the trenches which everywhere form a network be- hind their advanced positions

USED At HOME
In Case the European Demand
Should Cease, Says De-
partment Experts.

WASHINGTON, ID c., Sept. g.
Should the demand of Europe for
American tobacco stems cease. these
stems, which contain large quantities
be used to good advantage by the
American grower of tobacco as ferti-
1izer. Soil fertilized by these stems
secured from the cigar and tobacco
factories and stemmeries.. will pro-
duce leaf-tobaeco Of better burning
qualities and texture.
Tobacco stems as fertilizer should
be applied in smaller quantities than
manure, because they contain larger
quantities of the constituents which
feed the plant. according to- the De-
partment's tobacco specialists. Two
tons per acre of seed stems. .(stems
from cigar factories) or two and one
half tons Of kentucky stems, (stems
from the tobacco factories and stem
meries) are known to give good re-
suits in New England and. so far as
available, these stems will undoubt-
edly furnish very satisfactory
source of potash as well as other
plant foods, in other tobacco sections.
I Considerable Quantities of tobacco
stems have long been exported to
Germany and others parts of Europe
where they are often used in the
manufacture of 1ow-grade smoking
tobacco and as source of nicotine.
Tobacco stalks which are not re-
moved from the farm under prevail
ing methods, are not always used to
the best advantage as fertilizer
Like the stems. they contain con-
siderable quantities OF valuable plant
food Though not so much) and may
be used freely as a fertilizer for to-
bacco and other crops. They may be
profitably used to improve the hay
lot by simply spreading the stalks
over the land in the fall or they may.
be plowed under at the same season
for cultivated crops such as cotton.
corn, tobacco, etc. The practice OF
piling tobacco stalks in heaps and
leaving them exposed to the weather
means waste of valuable material
that might be returned to the soil.
The practice of burning them is also
.wastefu1 unless they are infected by
such serious disease as the Gran
Vile wilt.

OF Employment Agencies
Connection with Federal!
Army Recruiting Service.

PC. March, adjutant general
has issued the following communities
'tfon from the United States war de-
partment: II.
To all officers in charge OF main re-
cruiting stations:
The following instructions are
communicated to you by direction OF
the secretary of war, with the ulti-
mate object of establishing system
of employm ent agencies in connection
with the recruiting service, for the
benefit of soldiers honorably dis
charged or furloughed to the Army
Reserve, to which end reliable infor-
nation on local employment and la
Dor conditions is a necessary prehmi-
nary.
In order that erroneous impress
sions relative to the purpose of your
inquiries may not be received by
those whom interviewed in obtaining
the information desired, these funda-
mental considerations should be kept
in mind:
First: Only men of good charac-
ter discharges Excellent" or Very
Good''l are to me assisted to- en-
ployment; and where special train
ing. experience or skill is necessary,
only those who are able to satisfy the
recommending officer that they have
the required qualifications will be en-
dorsed for such positions. In other
words, the assistance proposed to be
given the soldier is not eleomosynary
place-finding; and the interests OF
the employer must receive due con-
sideration in order to insure his CO
operation.
Second: 1t is considered indis-
pensab1e to the success of the pro-
posed system that organized labor
shall not be actively antagonized.
Therefore, strike breakers or men
to fill vacancies caused by discharges
involving disputes between employ
ers and organized labor will not be
furnished; nor will men be recon-
mended for employment on known
union jobs" unless they are willing
to join the union on terms accepta-
BILE to the latter.
Third: Its not contemplated that
any special privilege or exemption
shall be requested for soldier who
desires appointment to a position
