Conflicting reports of the battle at
Celayo still are received; both Obre-

Six children, two men and woman
are dead as the result of the attack
made on Freiburg by French await

now in the hospital, several injured
and six more slightly hurt.
The threatened Russian invasion of
Hungary seems so certain, says mes
sage from Bucharest, that Gen. Won
Hindenburg, it is said, will be made
commander-in-chief of the Austro-
German forces in the Carpathians.
The Russians are still attacking in
the neighborhood of Uzsok pass. the
main road through which is COM
manded by the heights held by the
Germanic allies, but with the melting
SHOWS, the overflowing streams and
rivers and the whole country covered
with deep mud, nothing on large
scale can be attempted.
The British, as an offset to their
success in destroying Turkish tor
pedo boat, which attacked the trans
port Manitou off Chios, lost the sub
marine ELS, which, while carrying
out difficult reconnaissance in the
Dardanelles mine field, ran aground
on Keppez point, the crew being made
prisoners. According to the Turkish
report, seven of the crew are miss
ing.
A Neuve Chapelle, France, dis
patch says: "The ground to the
west of this now shattered town Of
Neuve Chapelle, from which the Brit
tsh, drove the Germans in the middle
of March with such terrible loss of
life for both sides, is literally cobbled
with German skulls. The dead lie
buried in shallow graves everywhere
and the vicinity is strewn with
wreckage and DEBRIS"
The most gigantic battle in the his
tory of the world has resulted in the
complete defeat of the Russians at

said an official statement from the
Austrian war office dated at Vienna.
'In the four weeks engagement g.
100000 men participated. The con-
flict reached its climax several days
ago when the Russian offensive
stopped, entirely repulsed. The
enemy's losses were appalling. Daily
as many as 600 trains carried the
wounded into the interior of Russia. ;"

INDISPENSABLE MUMMERY

INTENSIVE advertising. applications from
IL foreign organizations and unparalleled
compleXty Of arrangements all indicate that
the Mummers' parade on New Years Day
viii be, in the words of the press agent,
bigger, better and more beautiful than ever.
Since the mountain of Mummery refused to
go outside the city, the outsiders will, like
Mahomet, come to the mountain.
The Shooters are much appreciated, not
quite as they deserve by outsiders but fully
by their OWE people. Yet their true nature
as an extravagant satire on the follies of
the time, is nfrequently apprehended The
Shooters can say what no public official
what no public institution, can httingly ex-
press. They can take the whole city, and
the whole world, and display them in gross
caricature, but with a mordant shaft of
satire concealed If there were saarled
official paid to discover what the city really
felt about itself, he could finish his work
in the few hours devoted 70 the Mummers'
parade.
Like all good satire, the AIummers' humors
are kindly. And, not unmindful of the occa-
sion, there Is the undercurrent of fun in
everything, so effervescent that it frequently
boils over and browns satire and sarcasm
alike in its own sheer frvolity.

THIS is the word which Director Cooke
l. uses to describe two or three Of those
who have assisted him in the Department
OF Public Works. They will go out of office
with him next Monday, and he has begun to
advertise that they will be open to engage
ment by any business house which needs
the services Of alert and capable men
But why is it necessary for them to seek
private employment? Is not the city of
Philadelphia In need of the services of as
able men as any private business estab-
lishment here? And have not these men be-
come more valuable to the city than they
can be TO any other employer through their
familiarity with the work OF the department
in which they are now working?

WHO HE Is

CUWOSITY about the identity of Henry
" j, Estabrook, mentioned" for the Re
publican presidential nomination, is in q fair
way of being gratihed. Mr. Estabrook's
press agent is busy flooding the country with
literature about his employer. From book
let issued by the Estabrook Nebraska head
quarters we learn that
EstabroolS is, by right of birth states
man, His ancestors far back as John
Alden have been prominent in political and
religious affairs His father, General Expe-
rtence Estabrook, at the time Of Mr. Esta-
brooks birth-whlch occurred In 1854 while
his mother visiting her old home in AL
den, New Hork-was United States Attor-
ney for the territory OF Nebraska.
The booklet says other things. but this is
enough TO identify him. We cannot help re-
GREETING for his sake that he did not inherit
the first two parts of his fathers name as
well as his statesmanship. AS it is, he will
come out OF the campaign with a large stock
of general experience expensively acquired.
