but steady prograss westward. s8f
! After retiring to the Dniester rfv-
Ter, the Russians again have crossed
Unto Bukowina and are officially re-
ported to be back in Czernowitz,
which military men say is extremely
probable as they already had cap
|'tured Sedagora, a few miles to the
northeast Of the capital. Farther to
the west they are again in posses
sion OF IStanislau and have crossed
THE Lukwa river, a forward step
which in the opinion OF military ex-
perts will compel the Austrians to
eyacuate Bukowina.
In the Beskid. Tukholka and Utzok
passes the Austro-Gerrnans are in
possession OF strong positions where
they are continually attacking the
Russians, while in the western pass
es, especially the Dukla, the Rus
SLAMS are ON the Hungarian slopes
where the fighting has degenerated
into trench warfare. The Russians
are sending large reinforcements to
this southern line.
Germans Fight Rear Guand Action.
In northern Poland the Russians
are advancing slowly westward from
the Niemen river and the Germans
are fighting rear guard action. Only
at one point is the German attack
being seriously pressed against the
fortress of Ossowetz. Here the
Germans can use their railway from
Lyck, and there is good road across
the marshes but with their armies
falling back on either side they can
not remain long, British military ex-
iperts say.
To the south, according to a Ber-
lin dispatch, the Germans have ev-
acuated Myszyniec. which is right on
the East Prussian border, northwest
of Lomza, while further west near
M,awa they are believed actually to
have crossed the border after de-
feat at Przasnysz. The Russians al
so show revived activity in central
Poland and have attacked the Ger
mans east of Plock and near Extern
iewice, southwest OF Warsaw.
In the western theater the Anglo
French armies, like those of their
Russian allies, are doing most of the
attacking but literally without ap-
.parently making any further prog
ress, although they. claimed to have
,repulsed German attacks which we're
delivered in an effort to regain lost
ground.

Baseball authorities who have studi-

that under the conditions that pre-
vailed in the early nineties a star in
field and outfield containing such
players as Delehanty, Lajoie, Cross,
Flick and Thomas, could be secured
for an annual outlay Of approximately
$4,000. Today similar combination
would require yearly expenditure OF
five to seven times that amount. Yet

HOW FRENCH PEOPLE
CURE STOMACH TROUBLE

A household remedy OF the French
peasantry, consisting Of pure vegetable
oil, and said TO possess wonderful merit
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
intestinal troubles. has been introduced
in this country by George II. Mayr, who
for twenty years has been one of the
leading downtown druggists Of Chi
cago and who himself was cured by its
use. So quick and effective is its action
that a single dose IS usually enough to
bring pronounced relief in the most
stubborn cases. and MANY people who
have tried it declare they never heard
OF anything TO produce such remarkable
results in so short time. 1t IS known
as Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and can
now be had at all leading drug stores.
1t is sold with the positive understand
ing that your money will be refunded
without question or bubble if ONE
bottle fails TO give you absolute salts

Yesterday that it had begun its third
year as an evening daily newspaper.
What was an experiment in March,
1913, is now well established institu-
ton and as much an integral part of
the community life of Brattleboro as
it's banks and stores and churches.
Measured purely as a financial PROPOSE
ton The Reformer is nothing wonder
full, and vet the success which it has
enjoyed is as great as that which gen
orally falls to the lot of Il country
newspaper that is continually striving
10 anticipate the expectations of its

way of efficient service.
The most important Improvement OF

The Barre Times does well to warn
Washington county against the propo-
sition to levy a special tax to provide
for improvements on the county jail.
Windham county has just been through
such an experience and as a result of
the extravagant policy of the state
board of health a special tax of three
cents viii he levied on the grand list
of this county for two years, Since the
cost and nature of the jail improve
ments have become known there is a
strong feeling hereabouts that the
county officers would have been JUST
fed in standing out against the orders
of the state board of health as unrea
sonable and excessive. A test ease te
determine the power of the board tc
enforce its recommendations would
have been watched with interest
throughout the state.

Prohibition in Georgia.

Georgia has statewide prohibition.
Three or four important and popu-
lous cities of Georgia have open and
public though unlawful barrooms in
dozens and hundreds
This condition has prevailed for
years.
Does the unlawfulness of the bar
rooms of Savannah and Augusta make
them better barrooms and does it i'm
prove the quality of the prohibition
that prevails in Charlottesville and
Fitzgerald?
The people of rural Georgia having
revealed themselves impotent to close
the barrooms in Savannah, do they pre-
fer law-breaking to law in Savannah?
Meantime, the people of Savannah
though they are conscious OF the viola
ton of a statemade statute, give no
evidence Of having on their conscience
the guilt of It crime or even of mis-
| demeauor.
The conscience of the prohibitionist
in America is clear-there is no Iiquol
selling in Georgia by his consent.
The only difficulty is that the con
science of the antI-prohibitionist il
| Savannah is clear, too, and the net re
suit is a community Of law breakers un
punished and uncOndemned-excep a
| long distance.-Columbia State.
