Northwest OF Warsaw

London.-The allies in the west, the
Germans in Poland and the Russians
in East Prussia and Galicia continue
offensive operations, but the advances
have been SO slight as to be almost
lmperceptible. In the long run, how
ever, the ground gained may prove
vital and the various armies are fight
ing with an intensity not exceeded
since the war began.
In Poland the center of interest has
shifted slightly to the south. Finding
the direct road to Warsaw blocked by
Russian reinforcements, the Germans
made an attack from the southwest
and have reached Skierniewice, some
40 miles from the Polish capital. They
thus far have failed to pierce the Rus.

Nicholas to withdraw from before era

owner of the club, wrote to the board
saying he would like to make this
place his headquarters.
However, as $500 was required for
transportation expenses and to put the
ball park in proper condition, the
board did not act.
Other clubs of organized baseball
are going to train in towns near Kis-
simmee and the fact that the Indian
apolis OUTLAW" club would not play
exhibition games with them, alone
prevented the board Of trade from

PROHIBITION FAILS IN HOUSE
CHANGE OF 81 VOTES WOULD
HAVE RESULTED IN TWO
THIRDS MAJORITY
Prohibition Leaders Claim That Re-
suit Came Up To Their
Expectations

Washington.-The national prohibi-
ton amendment to the federal Constf
tuition, proposed by Representative
Richmond P. Hobson of Alabama, fail
ed in the house by 81 votes. A change
of 81 votes would have furnished the
necessary two-thirds majority 1877
members voting for and 1879 against
prohibition
This was the first time in the his
tory of the country that measure to,
make the nation dry was voted upon
in either house. The prohibition forces
assert that they will continue the
fight until success is won and the man
ufacture and sale of liquor is outlawed
in the United States. ~,
Prohibition leaders declared the
vote of 1877 for the resolution had
come up to their expectations, as they
had not expected two-thirds majbri-
ty. Whether a similar resolution fub-
mitted by Senator Sheppard of exas
would reach vote in the senate this
session is not certain. Administra-
ZION ledueTS were HCllu6u u DelleN6
it would not, because it could not pass
the house.
Notwithstanding repeated public as
sertions that many members of the
house would try to dodge record
vote, the roll call disclosed a heavy
attendance, larger than the average
throughout the session. To have car
ried the house the Hobson resolution
would have required 25S affirmative
votes. 1t thus failed to carry 81 votes.
Party lines we're wiped out in the
struggle. Democratic Leader Under
wood and Republican Leader Mann
fought shoulder-to-shoulder at the
head of the forces opposing the reso-
luton. And when the vote came, of
the 1877 standing for the resolution, ia
were Democrats, 81 Republicans, IL
were Progressive and We're Progress
sive Republicans. e@

the mouth of the Elbe. Six of the
airmen returned safely, but the sew.

The enterprise of the British navy
In thus attempting to dig out" the
German feet brought about a battle
between the most modern of war ma
chimes. The British squadron, includ-
ing the light cruisers Arethusa and
Undaunted, which have been engaged
in previous exploits on the German
coast, were attacked by Zeppelins,
seaplanes and submarines.
By raid maneuvering the ships
were able to avoid the submarines,
while the Zeppelins found the fire of
the cruisers too dangerous for them
to keep up the fight The German
seaplanes dropped bombs, which, &C
cording to the British account, fell
harmlessly into the sea. The Ger
mans, however, claim to have hit two
destroyers and their convoy, the lat
ter being set afire.
The British ships remained in the
vicinity for three hours without being
attacked by any surface warships and
picked up three of the seven pilots
and their planes. Three others were
picked up by submarines, but their
machines were sunk.
