GERMAN LOSSES
ARE APPALLING
LINCOLN DAY
Will Be obserbed by the
Schools, the Banks and
Postoffice.

Friday will be an anniversary Of
The birth OF Abraham Lincoln and
while nothing extraordinary has
been planned for the city or its SUI
burbs so far as has been learned, the
occasion will not be neglected. The
schools al least will have exercises Of
some kind in commemorauon of the
event which has meant so much to
the nation.
February 10. 1912, there came a
little stranger into log cabin in
Kentucky. whose coming meant more
to America. its integrity, its prin-
ciples. Its literature, and its history
than probably that OF any other per-
son; character absolutely unique and
one than whom there has been no
greater in our history or in that of
any other nation His life was so
productive Of real results, his manner
of living 1t so near the true funda-
mentals, his dreams and ambitions
so noble and SO simple, that every
year. as the date Of his birth comes
around, this nation and many others
officially and unofficially. pay their
respects to this man, the railsplitter
and the great emancipation.
The banks will, OF course. close
for the day and several Offices will
take the day off. The postoffice will
have the usual holiday hours.

Emperor William is Greatly De-
pressed over the Terrible
Price Germany Pays
AND MAKES A PROTEST
Carpathian Warfare is Found
by Both Sides to be Very
Costly Thus Far

LONDON, Feb. 11.-The situation in
the eastern arena OF the fighting is
{ occupying the attention Of the military
authorities in Berlin in very large
degree II reliance may be placed OH
news dispatches reaching London
from the continent. According to
these Emperor William returned hur-
riedly to Berlin from the Polish war
stheater and at once held prolonged
military conference, snmmoning for
this purpose many we'll known lead
ers.
According to the correspondents Of
certain neutral Danish newspapers,
Emperor William finds the situation
generally hopeful but he is described
as greatly depressed over the terrible
price in men Germany has had
to pay for comparatively limited adj
vances against the entrenched Rus
sdans.
One account from Warsaw places
the German losses on the Bzura and
the Rawka fronts at $4,000 dead. This
report is absolutely without confir-
nation. Nevertheless Danish military
critics say Emperor William has pro-
tested against this slaughter and as
o result an effort will be made by the
German war STAFF to transfer the fight
ing to some point where the Russians
are less fcrmidably entrenched.
The Russians reports from the fight
ing from the extreme north to the ex-
IRENE southeast Of the line through Po-
land continue optimistic. The loss OF
some ground to the Teutonic allies
in Bukowina appears to have been
more than Offset by what the Petro-
grad dispatches describe as the STRAIT
egic importance Of Russian gains in
the Carpathians.
FIN the carpathians staent
that both sides find the fighting
among snow-covered passes with only
the most precarious connections with
their sources of supplies warfare
In which the results gained are very
dearly purchased.
In East Prussia the situation is
becoming clearer. The Germans
have rushed re-enforcements thither
and these men they expect to be able
to stall the Russian advance. The
Russians, however. already would
appear to be in position threaten
ing Insterburg, from which German
town the population is reported to
have been advised to depart until
the present military operations are
concluded.
In the west the fighting for the
last few days has been of relatively
small Importance arsl the promised
big efforts of one side or the other
is still delayed, pending the advent
of more favorable weather.
The situation In the Balkans az
pears to be rapidly crystallizing. Bull
garfa will receive large consign-
ment Of her German loan within the
next few days. Roumania is finding
that Austria-Hungary is clamoring
for definite statement Of her atti-
tude. Nevertheless she shows no dis
position prematurely to reveal her In
tentions and the entente powers,
Great Britain, France and Russia,
seem to be quite satisfied that Rou-
manian's ultimate action will be on
their side.
