WESLEY BARACA NOTES.

Next Sunday Mrs. w. E. Richard
son will be with the Baraca Class.
She has something in store for us
worth hearing, and every member is
urged to be present and bring some
one else with him. A large crowd
is particularly desirable on this oc-
casion as Mrs. Richardson's address
will be very interesting and enter
tanning.
In four or five more Sundays,
Mrs. w. A. DuPre will be back a.
gain with the Barracks. After that
time she will fill the position as reg
ular teacher. 1t is very fortunate
for the class that she has consented
to teach it.

cording to Petrograd, the Germans
have been thrown back Immediately
south of Riga, they have made a fur
ther advance east of PonieWesch to-
ward the Dviusk wilma Petrograd
railway.
Sol1D critics believe this move
means that the Germans, unless they
succeed in smashing the Russian
army, intend to make an effort to
advance further into Russia and en-
dcavor to force Emperor Nicholas to
accept a separate peace. With the
history Of previous invasiOns Of Rus
sia before them, however, il is be-
licyed i'm other quarters that the Ger
man staff would hesitate at such a
tremendous undertaking.
Along the western front the Ger
mans have made a series of attacks,
but all of them, according to tho
French report. were rcpulsed.
About Balkan states.
In diplomatic circles great interest
attaches to the negotiations that are
going on i'm the capitals of the Balkan
states The ministers Of the quad
ruple entente powers at Nish, Serbia,
following the example Of their col
leaEuc2 in Athens, have had con-
ference with the Serbian government.
simultaneously Sofia has denied the
repeated reports that an agreement
had been reached between Bulgaria
and Turkey.
Novogeorgicvsk, the great Russian
fortress to the north Of Warsaw, is
now the sole possession Of the Rus
slams along the Nistula river. Here
It is purposcd by the Russians TO stand
frg. f,.T q
of Field Marshal Won IIindenburg and
prevent IL possible the Germans from
bringing down supplies from the lower
reaches Of the waterway or from
using the railroad line from the east
Prussian frontier for n similar pur-
pose or to the southeast in order to
place the Germans in closer contact
with the Russians from Warsaw who
have retired on Praga.
Russians SulI Rctrcating.
Like Warsaw the Ivangorod fortress
lying southeast Of the capital also has
been abandoned to the Teutons. AS
was the case at Warsaw the Russians
destroyed the bridges crossing the
Nistula before they evacuated. While
they left the Warsaw Notifications
virtually intact TO the invaders those
at Ivangorod were demolished, ac-
cording TO Berlin.

the Narcw region are continuing their
drive Of the Russians while In the
southeastern sector the Russians are

S0X TO HAVE LONG
CALIFORNIA STAY
Will Start Early and Remain On
the Coast AS Long AS
Possible

In view OF the fact that the Tigers
VIII probably train in California in
1916. the plans for the White Sox for
next spring will be OF interest in De.
troit. The Sox are going 10 the coast
week or two earlier than usual. In
order that Comiskey may pick up
some soft coin by exhibition games
before the exposition crowds at
Frisco. The squad will remain on
the coast until the last possible mo.
ment, making but one or two stops
on the way east for the opening OF
the season. That is because II has
been learned that when more than a
week or 10 days has been taken up
on the return trip, the players lose
the benefit of much OF the condition
Ing done while in camp. The first
team next spring will stay In Cali.
tornia until the week before the open.
ing OF the season, and then will re.
turn by southern route, soaking in
all the sunshine possible. Not more
than two stops will be made--these
to break the monotony OF the journey
The second team will make the usual
northern tour via Denver.
