RUSSIAN FORCES
ARE HELD INTACT
Heavy Losses Are Reported on
Both Sides in Recent Heavy
Fighting.
AUSTRIANS ARE DEFEATED
MIST Report Says They Lost Out
in an Attempt to Invade Rou-
manian SoiI--The General
Situation.
AUSTRIANS ARE DEFEATED

LONDON. Feb. S,-The German at
tack in central POLAND thus far has
failed to make gap In the Russian
lines which would open the way to
Warsaw and apparently the only re-
suit of the battle has been heavy
losses on both sides. petrograd has
announced the capture of several
German positions. but the general
alignment of the opposing armies has
not been changed materially Minor
victories there and in northern po-
land are reported by the Russian war
office today
There is no slackening of activity in
the Carpathians where the Austrians
and Germans are struggling with the
Russians for the mastery OF the noun
tain passes which give access to
northern Hungary. Important Rus
sian successes In several engagements
are announced at Petrograd II Ia
said Austrian attacks broke dowD
and that In addition to inflictihg
heavy losses on their opponents the
Russians captured $500 prisoners.
A private dispatch from Nish de-
scribes battle between Roumaniah
and Austrian troops which Is said to
have resulted from an Austrian inva-
sion of Roumanian soil In the direc-
tion iof an important strategic point
which controls the only Serbian po-
sition on the Danube permitting com
munication with Roumania. Accord
ing to this dispatch the Austrians
were defeated and driven back. There
Ia no confirmation, however, of the
Nlsh report.
News of the Lusltania's arrival at
Liverpool under the American flag
IL given much space In the English
papers today. reflecting the popular
feeling that the incident is one of
great Importance. Il is not generally
expected, however, that the govern
ment will take action unless Wash
ington requests an explanation.
Military interest ccntared today in
the East. Tremendous efforts by
both sides continue there, but as yet
no decisive results have been report
ed. The Russians apparently checked
the fierce attacks on the reinforced
Austro-German army In the Carpa-
THAN passes.
In spite OF the desperate nature of
the fighting in front of Warsaw, it
generally is believed in England that
the action developing in the Carpa-
thians Is more critical. The Russlan
reverse, 1t Is thought. will compro-
mise the new campaign against Hun
gary
Except for several minor German
attacks on Neiuport the western line
OF battle evidently has enjoyed
quiet weekend. Air and sea opera
tions have been suspended during the
past few days. London not even be-
ing thrilled by the usual Sunday rI-
mors that Zeppelines were on their
way here. There also has been COM
plete absence of naval news.

Brunswick Riilemen Send in
Petition OF This Kind to
City Council.
REFERRED TO A COMMITTEE
Expected That There Will Be
Quite a Lively Fight Over the
Petition When 1t Comes Up
for Action.

Somebody has started something!
Now just watch the arguments
come forth, pro and con, until the mat
ter is settled, which will be probably
at the next regular meeting of city
council.
The Brunswick Riflemen, which
command is making an effort to at
tend the great San Francisco exposi-
ton, has made application TO city
council for permission to operate
Brunswick's two moving picture
houses on Sunday The petition was
presented 10 council last night in
which il was stated that no adms-
sion would be charged and that a
permit was desired for the operation
OF the two theaters for entertain
ments and moving pictures
Before the petition was referred to
the committee of the whole, two al
dermen made short addresses, one in
favor and the other against it, and a
red hot discussion was just about TO
be Engaged in when Alderman Ludwig
temporarily relieved the situation by
making motion that the petition he,
referred to council as a committee OF
t%e Whole.
AS soon as the petition was read Al
defman Dart took the floor and stated
that, while he had the highest regard
for the old Brunswick Riflemen, of
which he was member for many
years. and while he would, do any
thing possible to assist the company,
still he believed il to be bad prec-
Cdent to establish, that he thought il
was wrong to permit any moving pic
tufe shows to be operated in the city
or the Sabbath, and for those rea-
sons he announced that he would
fight the petition.
Alderman Roberts, in a short talk,
stated that other cities had given
their military companies this permis-
sion, in order that they may secure
money to attend the exposition, that
local military boys were making
strenuous effort to go to the big show
and he really did not see that any
harm could result from such IL per-
nit
it was here that Alderman Ludwig
made his motion to refer the petition
to the committee, and quite lively
discussion is expected when the pc
tltiOn comes up for action.

means of Identification.

HERE'S SOME CLOSE BIDDING
Just One Cent Per Cord Difference
on Bids for Wood for
the City.

What would you think if you sub
mitted a bid for two or three hun
dred cords of wood to be used by the
city and then should lose the big CON
tract by just one cent per cord?
That's Just what happened when a
number of bids were opened at the
meeting of city council last night for
supplying wood to the city for the
present year. There were six bids
in all, and, while none of them va
ried very much. still there was just
one per cent per cord difference in
three of them
H. Mllikin sent in bid for $275
per cord. a like bid was also made
by II. $. McCrary, while l.. r. Nc
Kinnon put in a bid at 2.74 per cord
Mr.. McKinnon was awarded the con-
tract.
