WHIP AUSTR|ANS
LOSE TO GERMANS
Forces Sever Russian
Army and Head Toward
Dvinsk and Riga, But
Allies RepuIsed.

Berlin, (via London).- Sept. Is
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg has
made further progress in his efforts
to capture the Russian fortified
city of Dvinsk. The taking by
storm of additional Russian posi-,
lions defending the city northeast
of Smelina is officially reported to-
day.
London. Sept. 25.-Military activi-
ties on the eastern ron are once more
assuming the familiar phase of a slow
German advance, following the recent
impetuous rush of the invaders. The
Germans plan of dividing the Russian
armies north and south OF the Pripet
has been a strategic success in a way,
but the immediate effect of the sever
ance was to throw an increased burden
on the Austrians, who seem unable to
check the Russian drive.
Unofficial dispatches from Petro-
grad state that the latest Russian VIC
tory, northwest of Dubno, is of more
Importance than was revealed by the
official communication from Petrograd,
involving recapture of the fortresses of
Lutsk, northwest of Grodno Relin-
| gushing this fortress the Austrians are
| said to have retired across the Stry.
All the way from he Baltic port of
Riga to the Pripet marshes the Rus
| slams are holding their line stubbornly
in an attempt to bring their long re-
| tirement to an end. The fighting is
| particularly severe southeast of Wilma
| and east of Dvinsk. development of the
Wilma army having failed, it is assumed
the Germans will develop their often
| siye movement at Dvinsk, with the
| view of an ultimate blow at Riga. 1t
is generally believed the Germans have
determined to capture Riga before the
onset of winter.
Russ Strike Back.
A temporary success by the Russians
| resisting the German pursuit east
from Wilma is admitted by Berlin,
| which states that some cannon teams
which had held on until the last mo-
ment in this engagement were lost.
Withdrawal of some of Field Mar
shall Won Mackensen's advanced posi-
lions to positions behind the Oginski
canal and the Jasiolda river before an
| encircling Russian attack Is likewise
chronicled by the Berlin wal office.
On the front in france the Germans
claim to. nave broke up an attack
south of La Basse canal launched by
white and colored British troops"
Increased activity by artillery and
aviators along h entire front is re-
ported, as Is the shooting down of an
English aeroplane.
Heavy reinforcements amounting to
from 10000 to 10000 men, are reported
to have been sen to the German crown
prince in the Argonne.

nese have their feast days, which they
observe In their own peculiar manner.
Each religion has its own. but there
Is one Thanksgiving day for all, when
all, Of whatever faith, can, in their
own way, call on God and praise Je-
sus or Mohammed or Buddha.
Nov. Is, 1887, was our first national
Thanksgiving day, ordained by the act
Of the Continental congress and pro-
claimed by George Washington. The
day was set apart, In the words Of the
resolution, to express gratitude that
God had been pleased to ''smile on us in
the prosecution Of just and necessary
war for the defense and establishment
Of our unalienable rights and liberty"
The constitution had just been adopt
ed. and before the act setting aside this
day Of thanksgiving had been finally
passed there had been not a little dis
cussion in congress about the propriety
Of the presidents asking people to give
thanks for q constitution for which
some Of them were not thankful.
It was later that the last Thursday
In November came to be the day
chosen, when no marked event indi-
Gated another day, and the thanks Of
the nation. united under the constitu-
ton, were expressed ON Nov. %, 1889.
Since that day the custom has never
been omitted entirely, although until
the civil war It was only occasionally
observed except In New England
1t was our civil war which brought
the people to a new sense of national
oneness, and since 1868 the president
Of the United States has annually T.
sued proclamation Of thanksgiving.
But what president or prophet or
sage In 1861 could have dreamed that
half a century later the lines Of such
a proclamation would 60 out into all
the world?
