one. and with the great mass of their
heavy shells diverted to other fronts,
will maintain the stubborn defensive
OF the past year; and in the spring
we shall see what we shall see.
The privations OF the soldiers this
winter in the west will be immcasur-
ably less than last year. No longer
will the men stand day and night in
icy water up TO their knees. Since
last spring, when the generals de-
cidCd that another winter campaign
on the same front was probable,
thousands Of huts have been built,
crude but comfortable, and even the
firing trenches are scientifically
damned I'VE do not expect one
case of frostbite this winter for every
twenty we had last year" an army
surgeon told me.
"In the Air" Now.
In Russia the present front is likely
to be maintained without serious
fighting excepting at the northern
and southern ends of the long battle
line In the center of the line the
German troops can remain quietly
on the defensive but both wings are
stratigecally lin the air. at this writ
ing 1t is The German objective TO
win Riga and DvinSk or Dunaherg i'm
the north and ROvna i'm the south
because if they can do this they will
control railway which, starting
from Riga, runs through Dvtnsk,
Wilma, Ida, RoWne, and Duhnc to
Lemberg. Free to move troops up
and down this line, and maintaining
their artillery superiority the Ger
mans would he too strong for the
Russians to attempt a serious attack.
The cars armies, with the Germans
in control of this railway line, would
be served by a very few widely sep
arated railways running into the in
terror. The Russians are already di-
Nided into two groups by the great
Pinsk marshes, and this splitting of
the cncmy's forces was the ain, Of
German strategy after the fan of
Warsaw; not ass was oftcn assumed
The capture of Moscow or pctrog1d.

ENTIRE TURK CORPS
CAPTURED BY RUSS
Grand Duke Tells Joffre of
Victory.
10000 ARE MADE PRISONERS
Cars Forces Claim to Have Won
Big Battle in the caucasus-Fight
Occurs at Arabian and
Sarykamysh.

Paris, Jan. THE following tele-
gram which General Joffre has re-
ceived from Grand Duke Nicholas Of
Russia was made public on Tuesday
by the war Office:
81 hasten to inform you of glad It'd
ings. The army Of the Caucasus, in
spite of the fact that its forces were
reduced to the minimum in order not
to weaken our armies in the principal
theater of war, won two decisive vic
tories On the 21st and 22d of Deem
Der over Turkish forces superior in
number-at Arabian against the First
Turkish corps and at Sarykamysch
against the Ninth and Tenth corps,
The entire Ninth corps 10000 mem
has capitulated. The Tenth is max
ing every effort to escape, but is be-
ing pursued by our troops"
Arabian is an important fortified
town in Russian Armenia, about sixty
miles from the Turkish frontier. II
formerly belonged to Turkey, but it
was stormed and captured by the Rus
slams in 1878 and remained in Russian
possession after the close Of the war
Sarykamysch is a small town near
the Russian frontier. In Biblical times
the region in which it is situated was
known as Ararat, from the mountain
Of that name, upon which, according
to tradition, Noah's ark landed after
the floood.

CITY OF STEINBACH IS
TAKEN BY ALLIED FORCES
Battle for Town in Progress for Week
French Continue to Bombard
Other Positions.

London, Jan. 6.-The allies have en-
tered Steinbach, the town in Alsace
for which they have been battling a
week. The fall of Steinbach was ad-
mitted in an official statement at Ber-
lin.
The next move by the French will
be the tightening of their lines at
Cernay (also called Seunheim), which
they are attacking violently With
the two towns in their possession the
way will be clear to the environs Of
Muelhausen-the objective of the Up
per Alsace campaign. Cernay rs three
miles from Steinbach and eight miles
from Muelhausen.
French guns massed before Altkirch
continue their bombardment of that
important railway center, which also
is but eight miles from Muelhausen,
but slightly west of south. Steinbach,
Cernay, Thanh and Aspach are
grouped just north of west of Muel
hansen.
Thus, Muelhausen is threatened
from two quarters-its front on the
west and its left flank on the south.

TWO HUNDRED INJURED IN
GOTHAM SUBWAY PANIC
Scores Found Unconscious
on Tube Floor.

New York, Jan. 8.-The worst acci-
dent in the ten years history of New
York's subway occurred during the
morning rush hours on Wednesday,
when 700 passengers in two stalled
trains were stricken with panic in the
darkened tubes by the dense smoke
and acrid fumes from a short-circuited
cable.
In the ensuing struggle to escape
some two hundred persons were in
jured, one-a woman-fatally. Others
were overcome and were rescued, un-
conscious, by police and firemen, while
scores of others struggled to the
street, unnerved or hysterical, their
clothing torn and faces blackened by
smoke.
AS the result of the accident the city
at night was in the throes of a trans
pOrtation blockade without parallel in
IT'S history. 1t was not until late in the
afternoon that a wheel again turned in
the subway, and at that time only a
limited local service was in operation.
The accident occurred between the
Ffftieth and Fffty-ninth street stations
and called out virtually the entire fire
and ambulance service on Manhattan
island.
The hundreds of thousands of pas
sengers were diverted to the elevated
and surface systems. Neither system
had adequate facilities to accommo-
date the tremendous crowds which
sought transportation.

At times the rush became so great
that men in uniform insisted that
callers form a line.
The throne ROOM adjacent to the
governors private Office and used as
a public reception room on state oc-

Economy, Efficiency, to Be Keynote.

Economy, Efficiency, to Be Keynote.
Gov. Emanuel L. Philip stands out
as the central figure overshadowing
all else in Wisconsin's state capital
Men who seem destined to play lead
ing roles in the legislature and citi-
zens who take an active interest in
public affairs say that the most i'm
portant legislation to be taken up at
the session, which convenes here
January 10, will come from the newly
elected governor when he announces
his program for the reorganization of
the state government.
Men who are near to Mr.. Philip
and have discussed with him his mes
sage to the legislature declare that
the keynote of his message will be
economy in state government with no
sacrifice of efficiency in any depart
ment. The governors specific pro-
gram of reorganization will not be
made known until he communicates
with the legislature.
"The governor occupies a central
position" said H J. Mortenson, La
Toilette candidate for the assembly
speakership His proposed reorgani-
cation Of departmental service goes to
the very fundamentals Of state gov
eminent 1t is a matter Of immense
Importance and stands out as the
most important legislation to be con-
sidered."
81 am under the impression that
the governor will recommend econ
omy with no sacrifice Of efficiency
when he makes known his ideas on
the reorganization of state depart
ments," said George P. Hambrecht,
who is gaining strength as a candi-
date for the speakership. Governor
Philip has given this subject great
deal of personal attention. The mat
ter has been discussed before the peo-
pie of the state, and at his time l
know of no other legislation of so
much Importance.

chamber of the capitol, in one of the
most notable inaugural ceremonies

ity, the occasion was given unusual
color by the character of the great

sembly chamber 1t was a cosmopoIi-
tan crowd, nonpartisan in its aspects,
business labor, the clergy, in fact,

hundred Milwaukeeans was a notable
expression Of confidence in the ability

platform pledges in a manner salts
factory to the people of Wisconsin.
Never before upon any occasion has
Milwaukee sent out such a large dele
cation. Madison, accustomed to the
passing and coming of governors, was
deeply impressed by the brilliant spec
tacle
The occasion was spoken of as
melting pot of politics. Comments
centered, not so much in what the
new governor may outline in his mes
sage to the legislature, or what ap-
pointments he may make, but in the
nonpartisan aspects of the Inaugural
ton. A general air of good fellow
ship and optimism prevailed. The
personal Endorsement of Governor
Philip reflects the confidence of men
of affairs in the new executive and
the belief that his administration will
prove a success.

lette men; and men prominent in the
judiciary of the state, gave to the in
augural a noticeable nonpartisan COM
plexion.
Five state officers took the oath of
Office in the assembly chamber, which
was decorated in the national colors.
The American flag was draper from
the speakers desk and from the bal
cony and appeared in the decoration
scheme throughout the building, in
the, Offices, along the corridors, and
over the entrances to the capitol
dome
William R. Bagley, master of cere-
monies, announced that the time had
arrived for Inducing a new admins
tration. Mr.. Philip, escorted by Gov
ernor McGovern, stepped to the
speakers desk and was sworn in by
Chief Justice John B. Winslow Of the
Wisconsin supreme court. Mr.. Phil
| ipp subscribed to the oath of Office
in a clear, steady voice, and as he
turned to sign the oath, the assembly
chamber rang with applause. Mr..
Philip smiled and bowed and then
the other state officers were escort
ed to the desk to be sworn in by Chief
Justice Winslow.
Invocation by Rev. W. ]. Mckay, a
leader in the Prohibition party of Wis
consin, and two selections by the Uni

Continuation Schools in FARMING.

An important link has been added to
Wisconsin's educational chain.
1t is the county short course in agri-
culture, which has been patterned af-
ter the first short course ever given in
this country-that started in 1885 by
Dean w. A. Henry at the College of
Agriculture of the University of Wis.
consin.
It is expected that such courses will
be given this year in many of the IL
counties which have county agricul-
tural representatives the work being
under the direction of these men. A
year ago five of these continuation
schools in agriculture" were attended
by IA boys, who, supposedly, in COM
mon with great majority of the
rural school children, had finished
their schooling.
