TWO BIG BATTLES
 ON THE RUSSIAN SIDE.
Russian Forces Have Retired to Form
 New Battle Line.

London Feb. l3, L0.55 2. m.-TWO big battles, it is believed, have already begun. or will soon oegin. on the Rus sian side of the East Prussiau frontier and on uHe River Sereth. in Eukowina. The Russian forces have withdrawn both iu East Prussia and in BuzOwina in inc face of superior German and Austrian armies, so that they might be enabled tO concentrate and come Into closer touch with their lines of cCWmuuieat ton.
 The official report made only the nTief reference to the operations at these two extremes of the eastern LTonL but what they do say indicates that the Russians have already reach cd the lines on which Grand Duke Nicholas has decided to give battle.
 The rest Of the campaign in the east even the fighting in the Carpath- lans- which is proceeding under the worst weather conditions. is oyershad- owed by these greater events, on the result of which both sides are staking so much.
 The Germans claim to have won a. big victory over the Russians in East frusslA and tho Austrians announce Witn eelation the Russian withdrawal in BuEowlnas but apparently Petrograd views these Incidents without misgiv- ing
 Tn the west there has been a. con- tiucation of heavy artillery bombard- ments, in which Rheims has again suf- Tered, and several infantry attacks on different parts of the line, in which both sides claim to have been success t1l From unofficial sources comes the news that St. Mihiel, on the Mouse. which the Germans have held So long. has come under ire of the French guns which shows that the French have either made an advance in this region or have brought up heavier guns In an effort to disIodSe the Ger mans.

WOMEN MUST PREACH
IF CHURCH IS SAVED
SAYS REV. BROWN
Men Have Fallen Down As
Ministers By Failure To
Lead Reforms

San Francisco, July l2-Men have
fallen down on the job as ministers and
women must take their place in the pull
pits if the church is to be saved.
At least, that is the opinion Rev.
Olympia Brown, president Of 'he Fed
eral Suffrage association of the United
States, which opened its convention
here today.
We must encourage our girls to
study for the ministry" said Rev.
Brown. 1.-The men have been mred
away fr0m their duties as ministers by
ping pong, tennis and pink teas. Today
there is more Drawn than brains in the
pulpits and the women must take their
places
"Our men ministers today spend too
much time writing pretty essays that
will please pariShiOners rather than in.
slsting upon reform.
Many of our ministers are in.
fluenced by rich men in their churches
and are afraid to attack child labor
white slavery and other evils.
Some clergymen are ruled by so
clety cliques and do not dare offend the
society women who are members OF
their churches by extending the helping
hand to the poor people who drop into
church ON a Sunday morning.

they declared the possession Of Mpico3
City was Of no strategic importance M
the city was hard 20 defend American
military authorities agreed with this
view.
There is a growing belief, however,
that General Villa Is in bad way.
Aside from Reorganization within his

hamper him in obtaining ammunition
and supplies.
