London. August l6.-Military oper-
ations i'm the eastern field are de-
veloping slowly. Both sides show the
effects OF the intensity of the war
struggle. The German advance now
centers on the efforts of Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg to force his
troops across the Dvina and eastward
in the general direction OF Petrograd
and near the approach Of the army OF
Prince Leopold Of Bavaria to the
New Brest-Litovsk defense. Not
withstanding the steady pressure OF
the Germans, the Russians have sue
ceeded thus far in holding them west
of the Dvina river.
The Balkan crisis Is drawing to a
climax. The national assemblies of
Serbia and Greece meet today, with
the probability OF definite decision
as rekards Bulgaria's territorial de-
mands. upon which hinge the ques-
tion of the united action of the Balkan
states with the allies. In the best
posted quarters here the outlook is
regarded with a degree of pessimism
IL is expected that Serbia will seek a
compromise and Greece will reject
the Bulgarian contentious.

Petrograd, August t6.-The
military situation is viewed by
the Russian army officers with a
degree OF optimism, owing TO the
manner In which the Germans
have been checked at the cross
ing Of the Rivers Liwiee and

kow front, where the invaders
: lost 800 prisoners in addition to
a heavy toll Of dead and wounded.
Confidence Is felt here that the
Russians will be able TO make any
further eastward progress Of the
invaders very costly to the Aus
tro- German arms. Fierce battles
are looked for In the district be-
tween Nurc and Narew rivers,
also at the crossings of Bug river.
The immediate German objective
is believed TO be the double track
railroad, which roughly parallels
the present fighting line and run
ming from Ossowetz to Biiaystok,
Brest- Litovsk and kovei. This
road Is protected by dense forests

WET GOODS MUST GO
Attorney General cosson Warns
Saloonis.s That Entire Stocks Must
Be Disposed Of by JAN. County
ATTORNEYS NotiSed

Dss No;nes. Nov 3.-Tha, saloons
must not only be closed but that they
must have all supertiuous goods out
of the state by Jan. /, is the gist Of a
communication being sent county at
torneys of Iowa by Attorney General
Cosson.
The state attorney general declared
that Iowa was going to have prohibi-
ton in fact as we'll as technically, and
that he was going to make every ef-
fort To see that the law was obeyed.
He asks the hearty cooperation of the
various county attorneys in this work
and will make sure that the advent OF
1915 will see a alcoholic Iowa.
Mr.. Cosson declared that the post
ponent of the enforcement Of the law
from July 4, as is usually the case,
until Jan. \, was done with the idea
in mind of giving the liquor dealers an
opportunity of disposing Of their stock
and fixtures without any great finan-
cial sacrifice. He stated further that
if the dealers have not taken advant-
age OF this opportunity it Is not the
fault of the authorities and that they
must be the ones TO suffer from the
effects of their action.
The announcement from the office Of
the states attorney that this will be
the course Of action means that Iowa
viii. in reality go dry before the close
of business on Jan. /. 1t means that
the goods must be out Of the state by
that time and, in order to observe the
law, the saloons must close by that
time. There will be no evasion Of the
law if it is In the power OF the state
officials TO enforce it. and it is thought
there will be very few attempts.
There will be notices sent to the
local officials in all cities and towns
where there are saloons, giving full
details of the manner of enforcement
of the law and Of the things that are
to be required.
