Sees Disaster for Germans.


The situation of the Germans across
the San river is such that the only
alternatives are either a brilliant sue
cess or utter disaster, says the Petro-
grad correspondent of the Morning
Post.
The correspondent explains that Cen
Mackenzen has at this point 100000
men dependent upon narrow neck OF
territory not seven miles wide on the
San for their only communication with
their base. Their front is within eight
miles of Mosciska. which is their i'm
mediate objective, a station on the
main line of the railway to Lemberg.
Flanks Are Attacked.
Both fianks, the correspondent con-
tinues, are being attacked by the Rus
slams, who are gradually closing in on
the narrow neck of land running from
Jaroslau to the River Lubaczowka,
which alone is available for communi-
cation with the German rear.
In another dispatch the correspondent
says:
The Russians are well prepared for
the employment by the Germans of
poisonous gas, which is now being
used on all the fronts. in bombs at
artillery range and against trenches
Germans to their cost, nnd their
enemies quite alive and active. The
Russian method is to lie low until the
enemy is almost on the trenches, when
a whitening blast of fire annihlates

The civil service employees, polled by
The Star, desire the establishment of a
retirement and pension system for
superannuated and disabled employees
of the goverr snent.
They are IN favor of the so-called
contributory plan as opposed to the
straight pension by very large ma
jority
BY an overwhelming majority the
employees gave it as their opinion that
Congress would be more likely to
enact into law a contributory plan for
the retirement of the superannuated
employees.
A total OF 2.42o votes were cast, in
dicating the very widespread interest
that has been manifested in the retire
ment question. OF this number only
twenty-five voted against the estab-
lishment of pension system of some
kind
There were registered for the con-
tributory plan total of 2,64s votes
against this plan, 616 votes For the
straight pension plan there were cast
974 votes, and against that plan, 2.155
a number of the employees voted for
both plans of retirement. some of them
declaring one or the other .nIan as
their first choice. but stating thev were
willing to accept either plan. For that
reason the combined vote for the rom
