 Russian military observers in Poland find in the disorder and dis organization evidences in this German retreat increasing proof of what they call the weakening of the German morale.
 No Rapid Progress.
 Although it is expected here that the Russian offensive will now extend over the whole Polish front, even the most sanguine observers do not look for any very rapid progress in the resumption of the aggressive cam paign, since the Russians have de- tailed information of elaborate Ger man Notifications extending from the V1stula south to skierntewice and Lavaka. The general consensus of military operation in Warsaw today however, is that the Russians will re- take western Poland in the early spring.

Washington Feb. s.-The lull in the battle in the senate over the admin istration ship purchase bill came to an end today. The senate had been in recess since Friday. Meantime the democratic leaders had been wait ing for the arrival of Senator New lands to reinforce their side.
 The motion of Senator Clarke to recommit the shipping bill without in- structions still was pending, with in- dications that it would be allowed to come to a vote. Even with the vote of Senator Newlands the dem ocratic leaders admitted that they could not defeat the Clarke motion.
 With the arrival of Senator New lands and Senator Smith of South Car olina, the parliamentary situation was s changed. Senator Smith had not been expected to return on account of serious illness in his family. With his vote and that of Senator Newlands administra ton leaders claimed a tie vote on the motion to recommit with instructions Then the vice. -presid ent would be relied on to cast the decid- ing vote.

 and Today.

Beginning at II o'clock yesterday morning and continuing through to- day. a big festival in celebration of the wedding of Peter Cholakis, a New York confectioner, to Miss Clementina Leonard. sister of the local cOnfectioner, was held in Judd s hall. The wedding took place at 6:30 o'clock last evening, being per formed by the Rev. ConSta tine Liacopulos, of Springfield.
 This wedding was the biggest Greek place in this city and was impressive ly carried out according to the rites and cust oms of that country and re- ligion. The priest was garbed in the flowing robes of his church and the bride wore a white silk gown and carried white roses She was attended by Miss Frieda Hahn. as bridesmaid. and by her sister-in law, Mrs. George Leonard as matron of honor. The Hartford.
 Over 200 guests enjoyed the recep- ton and feast which followed. The native dances were enjoyed and one peculiar custom was the showering of the bride with candy, confetti and rice. The candy, according to the popular Greek tradition, insures sweetness through life for the two young folks, and confetti is for good luck and the rice. which grows readily, is to insure a large family.
