London. Sept. s.-The Petrograd est.
Petersburg) correspondent Of the Post
sends the following on the operations
on the front:
success against Austria and is mo-
mentarily expecting news Of a signal
victory. The chief on
the Austrian front evidently plans to
drive in strongly with one army from
the east, starting from the Russian
provinces adjoining Roumania and. in
the meantime, merely aims to restrain
the Austrian advances in the Polish
provinces. thus keeping Austria on the
alert on the line Of 200 OF 800 miles.
Austrians sisnaiIy Defeated.
while pushing temporary advances
in South Poland. the Russians were
forcing their way west from Podolia
and Bessarabia on Lemberg. When this
Austrians finally realized these plans
they attempted to run the Russian left
flank near Halle near the junction Of
the Gnita Lipa river.with the Dniester
and a sanguinary fight took place there
two days ago. The Austrians were sig
nally defeated, losing 5000 killed and
many prisoners, including one general,
thirty-two guns and standards. and
quantities of supplies.
Lsmbsrg Russian Objective.
Apparently the progress Of the south
ern Russian army from Podolia in
in Galicia has been a series Of fights on
an increasing scale until a third river,
known as the Foul Lpa. was reached
The fight for the possession Of the wall
ley of the Foul Lipa was severe. The
Austrians realized the strength of the
Russians and had strongly fortified
q natural formidable position. This was
carried after an obstinate fight. The
Austrian force. whole army corps. lost
about half Of its strength.
"These actions occupied the Russian
left, her right still being in Russian ter
ritory. It is evident that all the actions
were part Of concerted movement
with the surrounding Of Lemberg az it's
objective. thus dealing death blow to
the Austrian defense"

German army corps facing Breslau and
seeking to envelop the Russian forces
in Poland.
Their plans. however. met with a
series of disasters ending in complete
rout when an attempt was made to
pierce the Russian center.
Battle Line Of Allies
In the west the line now held by the
left flank Of the allied armies in the
valley Of the Disc runs diagonally from
q point northeast of Paris to Compiegne
and thence thru Noyon (fourteen miles
northeast by north Of Compiegne) to
La Fere.
La Fere, one of the weaker of the
French fortresses, evidently is in the
hands Of the Germans. Further east
and north the allied armies apparently
hold their own In the neighborhood of
Laon and Rethel (twenty-four miles
northeast Of Rheims). The right of the
allies rests on the fortified Franco
German frontier.

Many Pardon Applications.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 10.-As the
administration of Governor Cruce
draws near to its close, the number
of seekers after pardons seems to
be increasing. The session of the
board of prison control that is being
held this week has been very busy
with applicants for executive elem
ency. There seems to be an i'm
preston among relatives of persons
who are in the penitentiary that they
will have better chance with the
present governor. This probably be-
cause he has had many of the cases
before him for consideration.

TURE DAVID r. HOUSTON, IN
HIS ANNUAL REPORT.

Washington, Dec. l0-That there
is no emergency which justifies gov

ly through the use OF government
cash or credit, was the position taken
by Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture, in discussing
rural credits in his annual report
submitted today to President Wilson.
Secretary Houston's statement was
regarded as indicating the policy Of
the administration.
Secretary Houston pointed out that
the new bank law takes just and
particular knowledge of the farmers
requirements" He suggested that any
credit needs of the agricultural com
munity beyond those cared for I'M
der the federal reserve law, should
be cared for by a system of Co
operative credit associations" financ-
ed with private funds, by means OF
which the combined credit Of farm
ing communities could be utilized,
and by system of land mortgage
banks, likewise. privately capitalized
There seems to be no emergency
which requires or justiiies govern

rectly through the use of the govern

COTTON CROP
IS GREATEST
IN HISTORY
GOVERNMENT ESTIMATE ON THIS
YEARS COTTON CROP lNDI-
GATES THE GREATEST CROP
IN HISTORY OF U. S.

Washington, Dec. 10-More exact
information as to the size of this
years cotton crop, which indica-
tions point to being probably a rec
ord one, was given today when the
department of agriculture in its final
estimate announced the total produc-
tion would amount to 15,966,O00 bales
of 500 pounds gross weight, exclusive
of linters. This compares with A.
156,iS6 bales last year and 14,795,-
367 bales including linters; 13,703,-
121 bales in 1912 and 1882, 7+5,
including linters; and 15,692,7 ,7O1
bales in the record year, 1911,
and 16.250,276 including linters. The
average total production, exclusive of
linters for five years, l90S-l2, was
1850, ,297 bales. The production of
linters is about 100000 bales an
nually
The final official figures giving
the exact size of this years crop
will be issued by the census bureau
next March when complete statistics
from the glnneries have been COM
piled
While this years crop is n large
one, its value will fall far below that
OF last year because of the price OF
cotton. Last years crop, record in
point of value, was worth in the
aggregate s1,O43, 100000, the value of
the lint being 1887 100000, and of
the cotton seed 56,60O,O00.
The estimated production, with
comparisons by states, follows. (First

SUPERINTENDENT
WILL HAVE CHARGE

In the report of the award of the
contract for the building of the new
dams by the city commissioners and
water works trustees, the statement
was made Monday evening that the
work will be under the direction of H.
l.. Waterman, chairman of the board
of waterworks trustees. Mr.. Water
man calls attention to this as an error
in that it is the superintendent Of the
water works and not Mr.. Waterman or
the trustees that is to be in charge, for
the board in charge when the work is
to be done may not be the same as that
now in Office owing to the fact that the
city election will be held in April and
changes may then be made, The con-
tract covering the question of supervis-
sion has the following:
"The work shall be done under the
general direction of the trustees of the
Ottumwa Water works.
1.-THE entire work shall be done un
der the direction and supervision OF
the superintendent Of the Ottumwa
water works, whose decision in all mat
tiers of dispute, arising under the con-
tract, shall be final"

is UNKNOWN.

A fire of unknown origin almost des-
troyed the home of A. B. Metcalf, 625
North Green street, about 1 o'clock to-
day.
The alarm turned in by neighbor
brought the department to the scene in
quick time and despite the snow and
condition of the roads, the truck nego-
tiated Court hill on high speed.
The fremen found noe at home and
had to break into the dwelling to fight
the flames which having started under
a stair case got good start and
spreading rapidly through the house
did much damage before the depart
ment was able to cope with them.
Chemical was at first used on the
fire but the tank becoming exhausted
it was necessary to use water to ex-
tinguish the blaze. The shell of the
house remains but the interior is prac-
tically total loss. The contents were
badly damaged where not entirely
destroyed.
