Jefferson City.

JEFFERSON City.
Up to September / 71,257 automo-
biles had been registered by the auto
mobile department in the office Of
Secretary Of State Roach. The total
number registered in Missouri last
year was a trifle less than $1,000.
The current registration year has
yet five months to run until Febru-
airy l, 1916. At the present rate the
total for the year will be in excess
of $4,000.
The totals of all kinds Of motor
vehicles so far this year is 1880.
This includes trucks, motor cycles,
transfers and dealers. There were
2,252 transfers, 1889 dealers and 1,010
extra plates for dealers.
There were 6,241 machines paying
a So registration fee, 38,S17 paying
SO, 22,127, SIS; 3,142, 81; 1854, So; a.,
$40, and 2 $12.
Total receipts for the automobile
registration turned into the treasury
and good roads fund up to September
1 are $685.
Six counties in the state have less
than 10 machines each, as follows:
Ozark, 8; fancy, 8; Reynolds, 6; Cam
den, L; Shannon, g.; and Douglas 8.
Four counties have in excess of 1000
st. Louis, 1908; Greene, 1,240; Jack
son, 1,157, and Nodaway, LA. Two
counties have in excess. of 1000 each
Jasper, 2,289 and Buchanan 2,111.
Secretary Of State Roach says it is
a conservative estimate to figure that
one-third Of the machines owned in
the state outside of the great cities
are the property of farmers.
One surprising aspect Of the reg
istration is the way it continues to
hold up. This is said to be due to
the excellent crops harvested this
year.

School s%quabble Source of Worry.
There is considerable difference OF
opinion In official circles in Jefferson
City as to the best method to be pur-
sued with reference to the final dis
position Of the school fund contro-
versy Some of the officials believe
the matter would be better ruled upon
by the court, now that the question
of the classification OF the revenue
has been raised, than to go on follow
ing the precedent and leave the point
unsettled.
There is ample time in which to OBJ
tain a ruling of the court before the
schools of the state will need the
$514,000 involved in the mandamus
proceeding now pending. Those who
advocate this procedure argue that it
will be December before the money
will be available for apportionment
and disbursement, no matter which
curse is followed. .
Even should Auditor Gordon be
guided by the last opinion Of the at
torney general, holding that it would
be better to follow precedent and
make the apportionment, leaving 1t to
the legislature to make clear the
classification Of the state revenues,
the money could not be disbursed un-
til the later part Of the year.

 would be to join the remainder Of the Turkish European empire to some slav state in sympathy with Russia so that even if Russ1a, did not actual lys get Constantinople, she would he the commanding influeEice there. The absorption of all Poland into the Mus eovite empire is certain.
 Roumania would be territoriaIly en- rtched at the expense of Austria in accordance with the line Of race. and the powers might decide to end the comic-opera. business of the Albanian monarchy by passing her on to one of the Balkan states.
 Generally the effect of the crush ing defeat of Germany and ,Austria- Hungary will be- to reduce consider ably the boundaries of the two em- pires. How far Germany will suffer will depend largely on internal coudi- tfons and her ability to bargain. Whatever else happens, however. the loss of her colonies and AIsace-Lor- raine are certain. Equally certain is the loss to Austria of Basnia ana Herzegovina, and almost as certain the loss ofsthe Italia Irredents.

RUSSIANS ARE CAUGHT
 IN TRAP OF AUSTRIANS

Geneva, Jan. 9.-TEhe Austrians have been caught in a trap skil1fully set by Generals Ruzsky and fIvanoff, accord ing to advices from Hungarian source received here without first passing through the hands of the Aus- frian censors. In conformity with the Russian plan, the advices say, the Austrian column pushing toward the N1da. river found themselves stopped by dangerous. marshy ground. At the same time the Russians attacking Craeow suddenly abandoned their original plan but resumed their at tack in totally unexpected manner.
 With the Russian army occupying the most important positions of the Carpathians from the side of Bochnia, the Austrian army can advance no further towards Warsaw for the only roads across the marshes are mined and strongly held by the Russians On the other hand, the Austrians are obliged to defend Cracow and because of the Russian maneuyers, can only meet the Russians along the line from Wieliszka to Bochnia under the most unfavorable conditions.
 The Austrian commander, being un- able to discern whether the Russians intended to occupy Hungary or attack Cacow or both, lost five or six days and it is now too late, the advices say, to carry out the movement of troops necessary to oppose the Russian man euVers.

CANADIAN TROOPS
 AT BAT TILE FRONT

London. Dec. z5-( (Correspondenc of the Associated Press. )-Part of the Canadian contingent, the members of which have been rather restless un- der their course of training on Sails bury Plains, has now been given a chance to show their fighting abilities in the trenches in northern France Princess Patrieia's regiment, largely composed of men who have seen previous service, entrained yesterday for Southampton where they me parked for French port They are to be followed by the Scottish regd- nents of the contingent and later by other units. some of which have been attached to British regiments.
 It was hoped when the contingent arrived that the Canadians would form an army of their own but being composed as 1t is of men who have had experience in the arts of warfare and raw recruits, this was found ina- practicable unless the contingent was to remain in England for an indefinite time
 Now they are being sent out as they become eligible under the direction of experienced British officers and will take their places in the line with British regiments of similar charac- ter. They will not, however 1ose their the Canadian Units, of regiments they become part and in time the main body will go out as 6he ssCanaedian contingent
 The men have had a hard time of 1t on Salisbury Plains but there has been little srumbling. With trans- port motors and wagons passing all the time the camp has been churned up into a held of mud while. the weather, damp cold, is. piercing.
 General Alderson. in command o1 the contingent speaks highly of the results attained since the contingen went into camp ine England- He has had some unusual conditions to dea with, such as the apparent lack 0. discipline which arises more from close comTAdeship' of officers ant men than disrespect
