kITCHIN MAJORITY LEADER
South to Continue in Control Of Next
House.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Develop-
ments indicate that the South will re-
tain its seat in the saddle in the
house of representative so far as the
Democratic organization OF the Sixty.
fourth congress is concerned.
Representative Kitchin of North
Carolina probably will be chosen by
acclamation to succeed Majority
Leader Underwood (elected to the
senate) as chairman of the ways and
means committee when the Demo
Gratis elected to the next congress
caucus here Feb. 4.
The only real fight over the organ
ization promises to come in the con-
test for the chairmanship OF the Dem.
ocratic caucus.
The Illinois Democrats put Con.
gressman Foster of the Twenty-third
district in nomination for the place.
The Southern Democrats will support
Representative Sanders of Virginia
with the possible exception of the
Kitchin men, who likely will support
Congressman Foster.

CzAR'S TROOPS ACTIVE
IN EASTERN PRUSSIA
Sudden Renewal Of Offensive in
German Territory.

Berlin, Jan. 30.--The most encourag'
ing war news, from the German view
point, comes from the Carpathian re
gion where Austrian successes are
reported to have been achieved con
sistently for some time now. The
latest feat of the Austrians is said TO
have been the driving of the Russians
from the Nagyag valley.
Dispatches from Vienna say that
the Russians probably will be COM
PEELED soon to evacuate the Galician
city of Lemberg, which they have oc-
cupied for several months.
From all the theaters of war comes
news of freezing weather, which bids
fair to continue for some time. The
temperature in East Prussia has
fallen to 13 degrees above zero. Thus
far, however, the cold weather does
not appear to have affected military
activity.
Russia Makes Attack.
London, Jan. 30.-Russia has an
fensive movement in Hungary and
Bukowina with sudden resumption
of the attack on the Germans in their
own territory. The Russian army in
East Prussia again is attempting to
penetrate the German lines and an
official report from Petrograd indi.
Gates that heavy fighting is in prog
ress In two sections of the front, it
is stated, the Germans were defeated
and driven back. For several months
there has been little change in East
Prussia, the Russians having been
halted after penetrating nearly thirty
miles beyond the German border.
To the south the new Austro-Ger-
man plan Of campaign is developing
rapidly The Austrian army staff an
nounces that the Russians who invad-
ed Northern Hungary have been de-
feated and forced to retreat. Petro-
grad military experts expect that the
main attack will be delivered on the
extreme Russian right wing, in West
ern Bukowina, supposition which is
supported by the concentration OF
Austrian and German troops in Hun
gary.
Turks Are Reinforced.
Simultaneously with the stiffening
OF the AustroGerman attack the
Turks have brought up reinforce
ments In the Transcaucasian region
and are again on the defensive. Rus
sian and Turkish reports are contra
dictory, but 1t is apparent that severe
lighting Is In progress.
British military observers have ex-
pressed the opinion that Germany is
still keeping preponderanee of her
forces in the western theater OF the
war, where the allies should expect
another great offensive movement.

DR.. Eliot Admits Rockefeller
Money Affects Colleges.
SPEND TOO MUCH FOR MEAT
President Emeritus of Harvard Says
That Is One Reason Why Workers
Go as Far as They Should.

New York, Jan. 30.-Rockefeller do
nations to educational institutions
have influenced the policies of presi-
dents OF universities and colleges in
many instances, but the influence al.
ways has been good, said Charles w.
Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard
university, at the federal industrial
relations commissions inquiry into
philanthropic foundations and the
causes of social unrest
Dr. Eliot said he is connected with
the general educational board and
other philanthroric foundations estab-
lished by Andrew Carnegie and Mr..
Rockefeller. He thinks the board has
given 100000. .OO6 to education since
1902.
Stockholders in a corporation are
not responsible for labor conditions,
he believes, unless their attention is
called forcibly to some particular
wrong.
Uniform Wages and Hours Bad.
DR. Eliot said he believes legisla
tion providing for uniform minimum
wage schedules and working hours is
a had thing.
Conditions are different in all in
dustries," he said What would be
good for one body of workers would
be bad for another"
One reason why workers find it so
hard to make their wages go as far
as they should. DIR. Eliot declared, is
because they buy and eat too much
meat.
To be possessed of 100000, 900 is
a great misfortune" said DR.. Eliot.
He added that IL he possessed that
sum he would try to get rid OF it.
Foundations such as the Rockefeller
foundation can best take care OF the
money by giving the people education
and bettering their condition. he said.
